As we approach the anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War (April 30, 1975), I invite you to watch this nine minute video featuring several veterans who describe what it was like when they came home.

Maybe it is because all day today we talked about veterans and the qualities they possess. I don’t know. But tonight I stumbled upon this now-older video that not only encapsulates what the American troops are, it also brings tears to my eyes every time I see it. I have posted it before, but it has been a while. The men and women who are spoken of are still out there, serving proudly. The spirit described in the words has…
This is a good video of the incredible Blue Angels. Pump up the volume. If you’re at work, plug in the headphones and THEN pump up the volume. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tO_Sw3P5Bs[/youtube]
