Wow, standing at attention for three hours is tough but a three hour salute is CRAZY tough. Ouch!

Remarkable fortitude.
My favorite part was @ 2:00 min. when one biker and his passenger came to a complete stop, and saluted right back at him!!!WoW!!!
I have a black POW-MIA Flag at my house. 12-13 years ago My sister in law(a little naive at the time) saw it and said "whos pow and mia", like they were a couple of people. I then took the liberty of explaining what a POW was, which she knew when I told here what it stood for. Then what an MIA was. She was clueless on this one though.
Our Government sucks sometimes when it comes to stuff like that. I cannot imagine the hell of having a loved one left in some God forsaken place on purpose.
What a travesty.

Props to that Staff SGT for his determination and fortitude, this country needs more men and women like him.

What a POWERFUL gesture by that Marine. It's a good thing the video wasn't longer, cause I would have needed a whole box of hankies. For all my fallen Brothers and Sisters....R.I.P. To those that are still unaccounted for, let it be known that YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.
Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.
