Thats a sad video,

At work we have pulled 3 CH53Es out of the desert out west and have started rebuilding them to replace the ones that have been crashed during the war. We are going to do 9 of them and return them to service

We were given 2 years each to rebuild them and after 4 months we are only 2 months from flying the first one with each of the other ones only 2 months behind the first one.

ALWAYS KEEP OUR TROOPS IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

i agree that every american should watch this, my wife broke down when she watched it, because i had lost one of my good friends to an ied just 3 weeks before. i soon will leave for my 3rd tour in iraq, still no purple heart, thank god. iraq is a different world, every time i see another marine being put into the ground, it kills me inside.

M4L Thanks for posting that. I haven't seen that one yet. I've had several friends come back with purple hearts and have lost a few friends also. I've been lucky on my deployments since 9/11. Best of luck to those that are deployed or those that will be deploying soon. I'm hanging up my hat in a few weeks (20 is enough for me) but my heart will always belong to the Corps. Semper Fi all.

Outstanding video. The sad but true facts of the costs of freedom. EVERYONE should watch this to help them understand why they have the freedoms they have.

God bless all of you brave young people and be careful out there.
