These are excellent videos for Memorial Day -- the true meaning, of course. I've seen all these videos before, of course, as I hang out with patriots and retired military.
When "Proud to Be an American" was first released, I was teaching in elementary school. We had a student in fifth grade -- a boy -- who could really sing. He performed the song with a backup choir of other children in the class. There wasn't a dry eye in the house! To hear children singing that song adds another element to the music and the words.
As you no doubt know, Rolling Thunder is in town right now. The patriotic roar of motorcyles filled the air this morning as the bikers made their way downtown to the Vietnam War Memorial. I live near an interstate interchange, and I cooked my breakfast with the windows wide open just to hear that lovely noise -- not for the noise but for what it represents on a symbolic level.

A blessed Memorial Day to you!
These are all great videos, thanks for sharing. I have a new one, done by a friend of hubby's, that I will be posting tomorrow.
Have a great weekend and thank you for your service.
Best wishes to your lovely family.
