On a kleenex scale this is at least a half a box. As a Vietnam veteran, I was very moved by this and I appreciate you posting it. Thank you so much for your respect in remembering those who sacrificed their lives so that we may live in a free land.

Great Veterans Day video, Molly!

I never served but my father and most of my uncles, on both sides of the family, were in the military. It was peacetime when I was young so I opted for college. My college tuition was fully paid via the GI Bill, due to the fact that my fathers disability was service related. I'm very thankful for that.

Thank you Tux,
This is a very emotional day for many people and I am not a big Fan of bagpipes, but when they are played in these circumstances, I am like Drac, I break out in goose bumps and use lots of kleenex.

I am not sure which English soccer team put poppies on their shirts to remember 11-11-1918 but you know what?
The FIFA forbade it!
I am not a soccer fan so I usually don't care what goes on but this is ridiculous.
