Great tribute to the military put together by a 15 year old girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ervaMPt4Ha0

(Her channel page says she's 19 now but the video was uploaded in 2006 when she would have been 15.)

Frosts my shorts after watching that when I reflect on the fact that during the debate on the Continuing Resolution last week Obama said that the troops would not be paid if the government shut down. (SECDEF Gates said they'd get paid, but only retroactively.) Even during the Clinton/Gingrich shutdown, Clinton made sure the paychecks kept going to the troops.

But I digress. Enjoy the video. Almost brings a tear to my eye.

Excellent good stuff aray. A good reminder to all of us that we have it pretty good when they don't have it so good at all.

Man that brought a tear...God Bless every one of them for what they do for us!!!... I think if Obummer decides to put ground troops into Libya it may be time to form a posse....

Thanks for posting this. I linked this and a few of the other videos to my Facebook so others might remember the sacrifices made by our brothers and sisters in arms.

God bless our troops!
