Thank you so much for posting this letter...I have a brother in the Marines and have the most honor and respect for him and all the men and women fighting for our country.

Thanks for sharing. You are so right on. If I see another Jon Gosselin picture I might scream. Even if the media doesn't- we know what is right to focus on in our hearts.

There are tears streaming down my face right now. Thank you so much for posting this! Our world is so oss base sometimes! The number of people lining the streets for MJ was insane! I'm glad someome stopped to put things in prespective for a moment.

Thank you so much for posting this. I felt so disgusted about all the media attention over Michael Jackson's death. As a daughter of a Veteran I am always sensitive to those who selflessly serve our country.
Thank you for sharing this.

Oh Hopsy, thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing this. My brother is a Marine currently serving on the USS Boxer and we are so blessed that he had been safe for the last 9 months of active duty. It's so important to remember the real heros and also that the media does give us what the majority asks for. This reminds me to push for the important stories to come to light.

Thank you for posting this. My husband is military, has deployed 3 times & we live on-post, I'm surrounded by wives & children who have their husband/father currently deployed. Sometimes when I go off-post, it seems such a different world, few realising there IS a war going on.

Thank you for sharing this!!

I cried as I read this. Thanks for sharing with the world. But don't blame Michael Jackson or the media. They only print what people want to read. Sending my husband to war was easier in many ways that having to acknowledge the rampant (and frankly unpatriotic) disinterest and apathy I encounter almost daily. Sad.

So touching...I'm glad you shared this. xoxo

Thank you for sharing this on you blog. Our service men and women are so much more important than a faded pop star.

I can't stop the tears.

That's amazing, and you never really hear of it! Makes me really think, and I'm so glad that it's such a special ceremony.

Beautiful.

I love that have such a courageous spirit to post this.
True that we must not forget, nor lose hope for our soldiers to come home.

Thanks for sharing this, Hopsy. My best friend's husband is over in Afghanistan right now, it's a scary time for all of us but he is doing such a service to our country. Freedom definitely is not free, it's the most costly thing in the world.

2009-07-17T10:07:32.727-05:00

I could not agree more with this sentiment. I wholeheartedly believe more attention needs to be paid to those who do good and make sacrifices in this country. Enough with the celebs already! Thank you for sharing. And yes, the movie Taking Chance was so very moving. I highly reccomend it.

This story brought tears to my eyes. I'm glad his death was recognized and did not go unnoticed. I hope this gives the family some comfort. Thanks for sharing this story, Hopsy. It does give us a glimpse of what goes on over there and makes me proud to be an American=)

2009-07-17T09:19:14.995-05:00

That is amazing. I also believe that the media coverage of Michael Jackson's death was, and still is ridiculous. I am wrote a post about it that I will be publishing next week.

Thank you for posting this. We all need to be reminded that there are so many more important things happening in the world than celebrity drama.

What a lovely tribute to the men and women serving for us. My daddy flew C-141's for 6 years during the height of the Viet Nam war. He took troops over and wounded and deceased back home. He talks about what an honor it was to escort these brave soldiers on their final trip home. Although heartbreaking, they were his responsibility, and he took it very seriously. He also has remarked that the plane was loud and excited on the way over,and sadly silent on the way back. I am proud of his love of our country.

Hopsy: Thank you for sharing. We can not forget our soliders who so bravely give their lives for our freedoms. My brother in law is about to leave my sister, 5 yr old niece and 3 yr old nephew for Iraq or Afghanstan. I am so proud of him and so proud of all our military. Thanks again for bringing this story to us.
