World War II Veterans Documentary

Posted by Sean on May 11, 2011

The Story of Stars and Stripes Honor Flight – Documentary Trailer

Help spread this important message:

This story is incredible. Send this touching two-minute video about World War II veterans to FIVE friends and family to remind them that every day alive in this great, free country is truly a bonus. Let’s get 50,000 views for the video by Memorial Day (May 30th) to show these living heroes, one last time, just how grateful we are for their unbelievable sacrifice. The video is a trailer to a documentary that will come out in November. The more we can show interest in the trailer (i.e. views), the more Americans will get to see the film. Time is running out: 1,000 WWII vets die every day. We are free today because of these men and women. The least we can do is watch a web video and send it to five people. Let’s get this mission done!

This was one of those email forwards you just cannot pass up. How can you not feel obligated to at least pass on this message about a documentary about these veterans. At such a young age they sacrificed their lives so that we can live ours. I don’t think I need to tell you how much was lost during that war do I?

Please be sure to pass this on.

What Are You Thankful For This Holiday Season?

Posted by Sean on November 22, 2009

I posted this same blog post last holiday season, and I feel and believe it is such a great cause, that I’m posting it again.

Xerox has a website where you can send a postcard to our military personnel over seas FOR FREE. The website gives you a list of pre-made postcards made from children from around America. You get to pick from a list of pre-made messages or you can create your own message to include in your postcard. Unfortunately you don’t get the designate the recipient of your postcard.

This is an all around GREAT thing. How better of a way to show our love and support to the men and women who are giving the ultimate sacrifice so that you can celebrate the holidays with your loved ones.

I checked the validity of this service here.

Do you have 5 minutes during this holiday season to thank those who are providing you with the opportunity to celebrate your holiday?

The Holiday season is the one time of the whole year we are the people that we always hoped we would be.

I Thank You.

Excuses. The Next Time You Complain.. Think Again

Posted by Sean on May 12, 2009

The next time you complain, or whine, or belly-ache about ANYTHING in your life… I want you to take a look at this veteran who curtly reminds us of how GOOD we all have it.

Is something too hard? Are you too tired? This hero reminds me of how precious life is, and no matter how bad you think you have it.. it could be so much worse. Take the gifts you are given and run with them, if you can’t run then you walk. And when someone tell you you can’t walk. Prove them wrong.

Thank you Phil. Best of luck to you.

Attention to Detail

Posted by Sean on January 8, 2009

I guess the ‘new’ military doesn’t practice what they preach. As a former military man, this is disheartening. How impersonal and offensive can we be to our veterans and their families?
