That is quite the video. Who is that girl in the end of it praising a flag so footloose and fancy free?
I suppose it is not important, but reverence to those that fought for freedom before, and saludos to those who fight for freedom now, and in the future wherever they are are.

I finally realised who you remind me of Amanda…..Hope Davis!
War is revolting, sickening, nauseating,
it’s foul, and disgusting.
It’s atrocious, horrid, sickening, and ugly.
It’s vile, wretched, and repugnant.
It’s depraved, perverse.
It’s hell.
Lets honor and esteem
all those who participate.
War is bad,
War leaves the soldiers dead,
Then why did Bush start the war?
Because he is stupid and mad.
i get it, you guys are so oppinated.
Like stop it ulle…..your makin me so horny!! ohmahgod!
-to the U.S. Troops, re-spect.
google spellcheck: oppinionated
What a smart way to take a well-deserved holiday… ingenious! Have a great day.
Nice call on the 48-star flag from the black and white era to match the footage. Doubt that the tank top short shorts and hair style would match though. Unless of course this was taken at the Swedish Embassy in the summer of ‘45.
W.O.: Congratulations on your ignorance. May you reap the bliss.
I like the formal attire you picked for this grave celebration.
everybody should be a soldier,
to die on some wars frontier.
it is so peaceful on the bone yard,
we will put your name on the heroic gun chart.
it is good to kill those who are bad…
even their wives and children won’t be sad.
the beautiful fabric of the holy woven flag,
will be you comfortable body bag
relax my friend, many have died
the death came with explosions
no reason to sigh
another perspective on mother US shows how proud we are that
in honourable murder you rest
the stars will shine in burning flames and wash away those enemies and smash them down like clay
breath up you proud nation, breath up and shine
my enemies mother and daughter will wine.
breath up and burn them all away and open a channel
for the american way
Is it so inconceivable a concept to be against war and at the same time to honor and respect those who died in war fighting for our country?
Nice tribute, rb.
This guy is a true American, and not just on Memorial Day or Flag Day, he represents the Red White & Blue 24/7 all day everyday!

Wazzap with the T-shirts? It’s getting exiting here :)
That was nice story
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin’
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it’s your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people’s blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You’ve thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain’t worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I’m young
You might say I’m unlearned
But there’s one thing I know
Though I’m younger than you
Even jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes it’s toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death’ll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I’ll stand o’er your grave
’til I’m sure that you’re dead
— Bob Dylan
Props, Amanda, for reminding us that Memorial Day is so much more than a long weekend.
Amanda-
As a soldier in the Army, you boosted my morale at the end. Thanks for remembering the soldiers that have died.
Rock on
And which President and his minions was selected to be the target of Dylan’s lyrics in “Masters of War”? Most of the historically illiterate will automatically shout out Nixon. But sorry folks. It was the war monger brother of Senator Ted Kennedy: Saint JFK. Ah, for the good old days. And that good old chestnut delivered at a ‘bed-in’ in Montreal: “Give Peace a Chance” Why that must have been Nixon’s fault too? Even though he’d only been in office less than 120 days and didn’t even have a cabinet in place. But to those same historically deficient know it all’s, that is probably enough to pin the blame on him for something that was started, promoted and allowed to get completely out of control by Democrats. But, hey, never let a few facts get in the way of the truth.
The flag at the end was the one covering her grandfather, Kenyon Congdon’s, casket and presented to her grandmother at his funeral. He died in the service of his country in 1942. The last shot was taken from the second floor of our house, and to my knowledge is not altered.
what do you mean?
a)US can invade whereever they want/need
b)what a war it was!
c)US still invades Afghanistan,Irak an it began with the 2.World War!
d)We want a new war,that one was a long time ago!
e)we are heros and we can only save the world
f) damn the war,emperialism,racism and staff like that
?????? which one?
CEM: Maybe you should be locked in a room with @ 100 Afghanistan women and try to convince them that life was better under that Taliban, burkhas, no female education, and being murdered for no good reason other than not being a virgin, or wearing finger nail polish which would cost you a few lopped off fingers, etc. etc. Oh, and in your case they would probably just stone you because you cannot spell. But then again, on second thought: You would meet their ideal as an uneducated oaf and probably be canonized as the new prophet.
From a Canadian soldier, well done Amanda. In memory of all the soldiers who fought and died in past and present wars *Salute*.
I know here is not a place to discuss the deep problems of the world but can you tell me what is the relationship between oil-gas-afghanistan-irak and now trying to invade Iran?Do you think(I think not!)a new crusader war is necessary?Militarism is going to solve the problems of the world?What the hell are you searching in Iraq(chemicals?:)who called you?Who are you tycobrahe: ,god?we are not blind,but weak against emperialists and idiots!
Amanda,
Thank you so much for this.

I see the Charles Lindbergh Society is alive and well. Me? God? Nah, just an ordinary American who celebrates their Constitutional right to spout off about anything I choose to regardless of who it offends or pleases. Which is one of the wonderful blessings that we celebrate today in this country and those who died to make it all possible. Now I don’t know where you come from, but, I don’t think this will change anytime soon. So you may as well get used to it.
well done. thanks.
I don’t see why people are trying to spread their anti-war sentiments through the comments, but I just want to say….
good piece, and nice camera work at the end.
Happy Christmas, War is Over!
nitevideo
Support the troops
Bring ‘em home safe
End the war now.
Thanx, A.
RB,
Nicely done and thanks.

Tyco; all who died to make it possible means:
a)first-nation(indians:)massacer
(how many death?)who are forced to live in reservations
b)afro-americans who are killed and being killed and discriminated
c)no other nation need to have a constitution!
d)I like our (your!)way of invading other countries and it is a constitutional right!
e)I m(you ordinary american!) ready to die or send my child for the BENEFIT of the monopolies of weapon/emperialists
no matter where i m from(turkiye),I ll allways be near the DOWNTRODDEN
Tell that to the Armenians.
A beautiful piece. Whatever our sentiments about our countrymen going to war is, we should pay respect to those who have fallen in service on a day like this.
And what better way to honors those who fought and died for our country, than to slash benifits for those veterns who survived the war. Bravo!
And for those who are at home confortably reading this in your chair or couch my wish is that you never have to realize the horrors of war. Peace.
Re Spazo’s comment to Amanda’s Mom — unless there’s been some name changing, the older Ms. Congdon grew up without a father-in-law rather than a father, since the fallen soldier’s name was Congdon.
Amanda,
That’s some good Boom. At first, I thought it might be a tongue-in-cheek comment that was disrespectful of the idea of Memorial Day due to the old worn footage of Memorial Days past, but the shot of you standing reverently at the end dispelled those notions. (I think RBs usual tongue-in-cheek approach to the news set it up that way.) CEM: Get over yourself! It’s no small notion to sacrifice your life regardless of the motives of the current administration. I happen to feel the war in Afganistan is the right war to fight; the war in Irag is the wrong one. The current U.S. Adminstration is a bunch of lying morons, but the men and women dying or living scared of dying should be honored for their willingness to put it on the line. Christopher
The complete absence of cynicism
in the images, voice over (even in the inflection). So nice. Then, there’s today…
Over 50,000 Americans and millions of Vietnamese died in the Vietnam war. The same Vietnamese government that posed a “threat to US national security” then is still in power. Today, airlines and travel agencies from around the world offer cheap beach vacations in Vietnam. Some security threat…
We must honor the brave people who fought and hold our elected leaders — especially the Congress, Democrats and Republicans alike, who authorize these wars — to a much higher level of accountability.
Assessing threats to national security and giving the President authority to wage war needs to be done much more seriously with a much higher burden of proof.
To Amanda (and Mom)…
Deepest sympathies. I thank God for the Americans(like Kenyon) who came before us and traded their lives for the freedom we have today. I pray that my generation won’t squander away their (and his) precious gift.
Bless you.
I wanted to say something about all the people who seem to be condemning memorial day. In the end this poem from Charles Province says it best.
It is the soldier, not the poet,
who gives us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the reporter,
who gives us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
who gives us freedom to protest.
It is the soldier who serves beneath the flag,
who salutes the flag, and whose coffin
is draped by the flag, who gives the
demonstrator the right to burn the flag.
Bye Charles Province
