Excellent video. I am going to show it to my class on Veteran's Day. It bothers me that kids get out of school for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, yet they don't get out of school for Veterans day. No offense to anyone of color, but Martin Luther King Jr. wouldn't even have been able to do what he did if it hadn't been for the servicemen and women who fought and died for all our freedoms.
My dh today was able to video chat with my kids and me for a few minutes. He showed us how he has to put on the 50+ pounds of body armor before he can go out in the field. Tomorrow he is going through a training where they turn over a humvee and he has to get out of the vehicle with all his body armor on. Advanced combat training preparing for deployment is serious business. Some of the guys he is training with right now will come home in caskets. That is a pretty hard to fathom.
