Thread: Picking up the slack to bury our fallen soldiers with respect

I've sent this to a select few that are my friends here at SRP. I hope ALL will take a few minutes to watch.

Memorial Day approaches here in the USA. I thought that I'd post this as a Reminder about those who served. Some were drafted during the Viet Nam era but others volunteered. I volunteered.

I was in the Navy on a Nuke Fast Attack Sub so I didn't catch any 'Heat'. My cousin and a good friend who were grunts in the Army and the Marines were Spat Upon when they departed the plane at the airport.

I try very hard to stay away from politics so Please refrain from posting about the past/the present and your personal views about involving our military personnel in any situation.

I would like this to just show what some did to honor those that had served and died in combat! :

Arlington Flyover

Outstanding!

The "Missing Man" formation gets me every time...
And what great planes!

I'm so Very Glad that you enjoyed it! These kinds of threads seem to die rather quickly. I hope All who like the video will pass it along to others so that they and others can watch and be able to post. If people don't post, this will die. I hope it doesn't

Memorial Day is coming up soon, you could go ahead, open a thread & start this year's off Cudarunner,,,

hehehehe My friend, I thought that's what I'd just done! Memorial Day is this coming Sunday. Should I have waited until Saturday or Sunday??

Oh,,,,O.K,,,,,,most of the other years it was titled Memorial Day,,,sorry,,,,,

Definitely a time for quiet reflection and gratitude to those who made the ultimate sacrfice to preserve our freedom.

I believe that I should have included the Up Coming Memorial Day in the Title. I hope all will forgive me! I really did mean to kick off Memorial Day with this!

The irony of that particular missing man formation is those are Aero Vodochody L-39's...Old soviet block trainers...

Thank you for the video. Brought me to tears. My son did 2 tours in Iraq, and I have alot of family member who served our country. Hats off, and a BIG THANK YOU to our veterans, and those who are still serving, and MOST of all to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice !!!!!
