    The camp for the children to be with others who are grieving in the same way is a great idea. May God bless and protect them.
  • "It's easier to claw your way up when you're reaching for the sunshine." Love this quote

    I pray for a way to express my gratitude to those who put "us" before "them". Military, first responders, teachers, nurses, fire and those that remain unnoticed. Thank you
  • @rvlife289

  • @susanhall8468
    Thank you for this program. We have people in our government that would have us believe that the world hates us . However we have great people. Thank you to our veterans my family loves and respect you. During WWII my Father's ship was bombed. He had psdt that was with him his whole life. God bless all our troops.
  • @Cat_herders
    Wow. The kids, all of them, named after her brother is so awesome.
  • That Congressman that lied to that woman was a real low life! He ought to be ashamed of his self
  • @garyluck8502
    Thanks for your service please remember the ones that didn’t make it back home!
  • Our Vietnam Vets need recognition, and respect we should give as Americans who did not have to fight.
  • That entire video was one the touching, heartbreaking and tender video I have ever watched!!! I'm a Navy veteran and I chose to be a military escort for my roommate when he died in a traffic accident, I thought that job was tough but some of these people are far and away going above the call of duty!!!!!!!
  • @1927su
