I found this video very moving. This was a couple Sundays ago. My restaurant is located right outside the main gate of Randolph AFB. If you look real hard you can see the KFC/Taco Bell across the street from the Jack in the Box. We were standing on the road when it went by. I closed the store so we all could be there. I was not even working that day, as it was the day of our company picnic at Schlitterbahn. I felt that I had to go and be a part of it and I wanted my team to be there as well.
Thank a soldier today.

Guys please forgive me as I meant to capitalize Marine. I can't figure out how to change a title. If a mod sees this can you please change it for me?

This was a touching thing to see.
I spilled a few tears for this soldier and his family.
Thank you for posting this.

Thank you for posting. BTW, I know exactly where Randolph AFB is located. My husband is retired AF. His last station was at Brooks but lived closer to Randolph. My step-daughter was married at Randolph. We visit Randolph whenever we come to town.

Thank you so much for posting. That is so so sad that many soldiers are still coming home from war like that. My heart goes out to the family!

Thank you for sharing. Very touching and we should all thank the military members and families that give so much.

A really good movie that tells the story about bringing soldier's home is "Taking Chance". Very moving movie and worth seeing.

Just a suggestion for everybody headed to WDW for either F&W or DAP. When you're in the airport (where ever you are flying from) and you see a serviceman (person?), go up to them and shake their hand and thank them for their service.

I know it might make you feel uncomfortable, but it will do wonders for them.
