| Posted by Christel Crews on 12/23/03 at 02:29 AM jane, we've been watching Band of Brothers this week and its a chilling reminder of what our soldiers are actually going through over seas. this is a wonderful reminder. i am ever so thankful for the men who are sacrificing more than their time for this country. this piece is chilling and full of a good reminder... |

| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 04/08/08 at 08:15 PM My daughter is in the navy, and I pray for her every day, that her (NOR ANY OTHER) lifeless body would not be the price paid for agendas not in the world's best interests! GREAT pick for POTD, and sadly, still a very well-timed piece. |
