Veterans Day Tribute

Compilation video I put together to pay tribute to those who have served.
I do not own any of the sourced media. You will hear no objections from me if you choose to use this in a respectful manner!

Wish I could have met my Uncle who passed on 6-6-44 Normandy "Billy" Paul Hacker. My other Uncles I met, and they never forgot Pearl Harbor and their brothers who sacrificed all. Paul Hacker I swear that one day I will bring you home to be buried next to Grandmother. She missed you so much.................

[@sidnjal12223]

Missing my grandfather . He was not American but Indian served in two wars against Pakistan . Saluting his spirit . May his soul rest in peace .

[@SunriseLAW]

My father is 92. He is currently the youngest surviving POW of WW2. He was captured during Mission to Hammelburg near the end of ww2. He lives with my mother on their farm, I go there a couple times a week to help out. My grandmother made it to over 106 and my dad is in pretty good health. I cherish every moment with them. I feel so very blessed and this message is to share it.

[@jennamahaffey1620]

SunriseLAW thank you for sharing! Blessings!

[@jeffreywinters293]

He don't see him self as a hero,like they all say they were doing what they were trained for and doing there job but we all see them as hero's. The. Best military in the world and I'm glad I'm on this side.🇺🇸

[@SunriseLAW]

@@jeffreywinters293 you got it right he says he's just one of a few million. When the war was long over the truth about that mission came out but that is a topic for a different time. He went on to college and try to join ROTC but due to asthma they did not want him good thing cuz his entire unit was sent to Korea and died there. Every last one.

[@SunriseLAW]

When my dad took the train to the East Coast to ship out he had to wait 3 days for a prescription gas mask due to his eye site. All the he was with went to Italy where the war was over and it was wine women song. Funny because as they marched to combat the first thing that every Soldier threw into the ditch was the heavy gas mask.

[@admiralprince7925]

You're father made it, he has earned my respects. Millions went thru hell, and he's one of the very few who lived to tell the story.

Honor and blessings be upon all veterans, and a prayer for those fallen in service: "I ask of Thee by the splendor of the Orb of Thy Revelation, mercifully to accept from him that which he hath achieved in Thy days. Grant then that he may be invested with the glory of Thy good-pleasure and adorned with Thine acceptance." ~ Bahá’i Prayer

My 95 year old neighbor across the street is a WW2 and Korea war veteran. He's still out mowing his own lawn, shovelling his own snow, and even does his neighbors' lawns and my next door neighbor who is battling cancer. He's one of the most awesome people I know. Very thankful for him.

US veterans are Heroes. It's a pity that the politicians are cowards.

[@monacole1]

In my day in age I was a teenager when Reagan was President. This video is more for Memorial Day for those that have died for our country the United States of America. Veterans Day is for all men and women dead or alive that have put their own lives on hold to make our United States of America safe. There is a difference.

[@MichaelRichardsPyro]

As a veteran myself I am well aware of that. This touched on both aspects. It was designed to be used as a tribute at one of our firework festivals and I never expected it to blow up like this

I am writing this from California USA on Veterans Day Wednesday, November 11, 2020. Thank you for posting this, I just found it. What an exceptional tribute with powerful images. The words of President Reagan and President Kennedy add eloquence to this stirring presentation. May I also add my thanks to those who have served the USA in the military.. In doing so, let me also thank the people who have served In the military of countries around the world, whether they be allies or enemies of the United States.

Michael, this is a fabulous video. Thank you for your work on putting it together. I was wondering if it would be ok with you to use this as an opening segment of a our virtual veterans day program that my school will share with the community? I will not profit from the video. I am wanting to use it as an opening segment to a slide show that I have made with photos of staff and student's family members that were/are in the service. I know this is after Veterans day. We showed one at school and I am working on one for the community. Thank you.
