I don't know HOW this got under my radar, but it's probably one of the most moving tributes I've yet to see on the internet.
My thanks to no_1_momlandj for posting this in the "Thanks Swiftees!" forum.
If you haven't seen this yet, grab a hanky, turn on your speakers and prepare for an experience.

Quite correct Hammer2, I'll edit my post to include the acknowledgement, and credit the producers as well. |

I haven't had as gut-wrenching a cry as I did back in 1996 while watching my WWII & Korean Conflict Veteran father's casket lowered into the ground at Arlington National Cemetery to the sounds of TAPS.
Thank you so very much, Me#1You#10, for posting this.
The Korean Conflict is known as the "Forgotten War" but, worse yet, the Vietnam War is known as the "Unjust War". Even worse yet, thanks to John FRAUD Kerry, for 30+ years our brave and honorable Vietnam Veterans have been literally shamed into reclusion as Vietnam Veterans lest they be looked upon/treated with utter disdain by their own countrymen.
To those who would say "Time heals all wounds" and/or "Forgive and forget" I would say a 30+ year old wound that still hasn't healed is too deep and too serious to ever heal, much less to ever forgive and forget.
God Bless our Vietnam Veterans
God Bless the United States of America
