I offer this video as a tribute to all our fallen Heroes, regardless of which country they serve, they do what many of us can't, and they do it willingly and without regret. To all the fallen, past present and future, thank-you.

Thank you, I found true video quite moving. Unfortunately this has become an all too familiar site, fallen soldiers, returning home and young lives cut far too short.

I am not sure what has been gained by all these deaths, maybe something, maybe nothing, but I hope these scenes will cease to be repeated. The Russians were in Afghanistan for 30 years or so and achieved nothing. I hope we can withdraw all the troops without having to repeat scenes like this again.

In New Jersey we built a Vietnam Veterans' Memorial for our fallen heroes:

Very poignant video. Too many of these young men, regardless of their country, have been needlessly sacrificed in this bloody confrontation. Lets hope there will be no more. God bless them all.

The memorials are great, how about increasing taxes so that we can pay for veteran's hospitals, mental health care, and rehabilitation services.

Do we really need to increase taxes, or better manage the money that has already been collected. I do agree whole heartily that better hospitals health care and rehabilitation is required. Also for our Governments to recognize that these men and women have been through hell and deserve our support from beginning to end.
