Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. - Helen Keller

Remember Me? By Lizzy Palmer

This was sent to me in an email and well worth posting, actually I'd have felt like an ass after watching this if I hadn't.

To all who serve in honor of this great country...My heartfelt gratitude for defending my right to be free. For this I love you, I am proud of You, and I will never forget.

God! How can I not cry after watching that?

It's impossible. I'm a mess now.

In a good way. Thank you.

Did it play all the way through for you? It was supposed to be over five minutes long, but I noticed just now that it was only playing about 2 1/2 minutes.

It's amazing to me that a 15 year old girl did this video, I applaud her. We need more people taking the time to thank our troops for all that they do for us.

I think that often so many are disgusted with this war that they forget that the men and women sent over there may not like it any more than they do, but are still willing to do what is right by us, to keep the USA free, I think they just don't think about how their negativity can impact our soldiers so far from home.

I cried too when I watched it, in fact I have watched it a few times and still can't keep dry eyes. It makes me want to DO something to let these faithful defenders know that there are people who think of them often and pray for their safe return. To me these men and women are our heroes. I may not know them by name, but I love them all...

Hey Scarlett,

No, it seemed well OVER 2 1/2 minutes when I watched it.

So, maybe it got stuck after I saw it?

Nice and thought provoking! Thanks for posting that. It seriously made me cry. Then again, I would have to be completely detached from reality to not feel that.
