I was choking up after the first girl, couldn't watch the whole thing. Call me a puzzy, that's a helluva price those people and families pay, it gets to me.

I miss my family a bunch when I'm gone for less than a week for work. I can't imagine what it would be like to be away for 6 months or more and for the line of work they're in. God bless 'em.

It's because of people like them that we all get to hang out on this forum and go run our mud boats whenever we feel like it with out buddies.

These folks make some major sacrifices and ask nothing in return. And your right, being away from your family for the length of time they are away is extremely stressfull and tough.

I lost it when the little boy ran up crying and told his daddy that he loved him. God Bless our Troops! They give up so much for our country and they never get enough credit for it. I work over seas a month at a time and I barely can handle that... I couldnt imagine being gone that long and the stress it puts on a family.

Post Re: Try not to cry
You kinda get a different outlook of our armed forces when you been there with them. I went to Iraq back in '05 and worked with the Marines on the base. Now I have a different outlook on them Men and Women serving. Lots of things and songs choke me when I see or hear. That song American Soldier by Toby Keith is a tear jerker for me now. And what sucks is the salaries they make. We were working side by side with other crane operators and making 3000 more a month than them. If any of ya'll served I thank you for your service. God Bless those serving now. Pray to God ya'll come home alive and safe.

Ain't a damn thing wrong with crying about this, they're certainly worth every tear.

That first little girl got me too. It was such a long reaction.

Yea, God Bless those in our military, they need all the blessings they can get.

I don't think I could do it now dat I have a family of my own. I remember watchin my fellow soliers' families run up to dem every time we came back from long training exercise. It allways made me think, as soliders we just did our jobs but it's da families of da soldiers dat make all da real sacrafices.
