The boy on the beach - please watch.

I vividly remember when this came out..........just as moving today as it was then....wonder what the young man is doing now?

This young man is an example of the patriot that will be needed to protect our country in the years to come. The bended knee group will not help, the "its all about me" group will not help and " I want more free stuff" group will not help. Sadly, it will fall on his shoulders and I pray that his mother or wife will not be the recipient of letter of regret from our government..
 
Thank you for sharing this video. I had not seen or heard of this one.
I was doing well until Taps was played. I have never met a person who understands the sacrifice our armed forces make who does not get their heart pulled when they hear Taps at a funeral.
For those despairing over our country, come west to the smaller rural areas and you will see lots of younger folks in pick ups driving around with American Flag Flying proudly.
I am not too sure what has prompted this. Maybe some form of reverse rebellion against the anti everything crowd? Regardless, it is heartening to see it.
 
I'd bet there were a few young men died on that beach that was maybe only 5 years older than that boy.

I heard back then they lied about their age to join to serve.

Maybe just talk, not sure.
 
The young mans actions said it all. My high school friend and fishing buddy died when the ship carrying him and hundreds of others was sunk crossing the English Channel. It happened on his Birthday.

That has been a tradition for decades. My Great-Great-Grandfather enlisted in the Union Army when he was 14.
