- This Memorial Day, we remember those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those who are grieving. May we, as Abraham Lincoln said at Gettysburg, “highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
If only our leaders today could express themselves as well as President Reagan could. He is sorely missed today!
But who are you voting for this year?
I miss strong leaders
Yes and Amen.
I miss this man terribly.😢
As a “Military Brat”, whose father was a “Lifer”, I understand the sacrifices that our Military men and women make to provide for our security and well being. PLEASE take time to honor the sacrifice and loss that Military families endure. We sacrifice and suffer as well. My mother would often gather me and my two siblings for a short prayer. “Dear Lord, Life as a Military Family demands resilience in the face of constant change. We pray for the fortitude to adapt to new surroundings, routines and challenges. Grant us the ability to bounce back from adversity and to teach our children the value of perseverance. May our family’s strength inspire others to overcome their own trials. With you as our guide, we trust that we can weather any storm that comes our way. In your name, we pray. Amen!”
Amen
I am humbled.
Thank you Almighty God above that I was born an American.
There's nothing wrong with 98% of all other countries on this planet. We're all human beings. We all bleed red.
We are especially blessed in this nation.
So was I. Kevin 101st Airborne Infantry. I have seen it all. Don't ask me about it.
Well stated my friend.😢
Although it has been 13 years since my nephew was killed by an IED in Iran, I still remember him and his service to this country. And yes I still cry for him. He has a son who never knew his father and the special man he was. It was so important to him to protect the US. Thank you to all who have or are serving in the military. And also to the first responders during this pandemic. And to the Gold Star families who remember in sadness, their loved ones.
You mean “Iraq”?
God bless you Sue.
God Bless you and you're family for your loss.
I promise to remember your nephew. As Abraham Lincoln wrote: “I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.”
Your nephew is a hero. Thank him and wish him happiness in heaven.
I was about a hundred feet away from (and far below) when President Reagan spoke these words. “ We have every right to dream heroic dreams . Those who say that we're in a time when there are no heroes, they just don't know where to look." God bless you Hillsdale for inspiring young people to continue to dream heroic dreams, and God bless America!
*IF YOU ARE A FOLLOWER OF THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST YOU SHOULD BE BEGGING FOR GOD'S MERCY, NOT ASKING FOR HIS BLESSING. I AM A VETERAN. ARE YOU? I SAY YOU ARE PROBABLY A COWARD BECAUSE YOU HAVE LEFT A COWARDLY MESSAGE.*
That's what patriotism, honor, and reverence look like. Sacrifice makes greatness.
BUllshit - sent to war for RICH !@#$ to get richer - utter BULLSHIT
@Michael Seymour We went to war so you could sit on your butt in your parents basement with the freedom to add this comment!
I am proud to say that I burned my draft card during the junky Vietnam war. It was better to burn ones draft card than to have gone to Vietnam and bound babies. Many of the men who obeyed the junky draft law went to Vietnam and came home in boxes or came home crippled. Other men who went to Vietnam came home as war criminals. We all know about the Mi Li massacre.
@@Jonnyc448 The same men who went to war to protect our "freedom", also murder, pillage, rape, bombed, and colonized countless indigenous people, culture, homelands etc. You ain't no heroes. You ain't even saviors. In truth, you are a slave to the system that made you.👈
@@edwardbranca54 Good choice, mate👊
After 11 years, I still find myself remembering those I stood with, fought with, prayed with and hope that the price that they paid will never be forgotten nor degraded. I pray that I will be worthy of the price that we paid when we took the oath of office and never stop believing that we are the greatest nation on Earth. I miss you guys.
Good bless you and your brave friends
Having never served my Nation in the Armed Forces, my 3 older brothers served in Vietnam. My Father in Korea, grandfather in Well. After all I have learned it is my firm belief that ALL serving our Nation and Honorably discharged are HEROES of AMERICA and we'll deserving a dedicated salute!
Thank you for your service…. May we never forget.🇺🇸 ✝️🙏🏻
❤️🌹
Thank you for your service ❤
Jerry Brown Dec. 22 1941 - Nov. 17, 2013...My father, my hero. part of the Mercury Project, and was on the USS Randolph during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Thank You for your service Father. R.I.P.
I send my condolences
may he R.I.P
That's the true meaning of MEMORIAL DAY🇺🇸
God bless our troops.
God bless our nation.
Thank you veterans for your service and sacrifice. 🇺🇸
Their destination is heaven.
My motivations today are purely selfish. I am so grateful I don't have to remember my younger brother today. I can call him anytime I want. He made it home twice. There are still a lot of things he can't talk about. Some because of national security, some because they take him somewhere he'd rather no go anymore. I know there are a lot of people not as fortunate as our family. I cannot comprehend their loss because I was spared that pain. I can only honor their sacrifice and that of their loved one by doing my part to preserve what they gave their lives defending. My children know what their uncle did and why. I imagine over time they will understand it better and see that they share a great responsibility in not squandering what he and so many others protected. We are blessed as a nation. The faith and strength that drives so many to serve are hard to comprehend. While we are remembering the fallen today, let's remember the ones who physically, emotionally and mentally left a part of themselves in a foreign land so that others could get a taste of freedom, and so that we could continue enjoying ours. They still hurt. Many are still fighting battles they did not expect and do not deserve. They still need overwatch and reinforcements. That can only come from us.
I loved President Reagan. 🇺🇸🇺🇸⚓⚓🙏🙏 Thank you to my fallen brothers and sisters. Prayers for their families.
Hello Linda
How are you doing today?
My Grandmother did too! May she RIP. She took part in the Berlin Airlift during WW2, and my mother was raised by my GreatGrandmama.
Reagan was a Great President, for sure.
"Those who would live, let them fight; those who choose not to fight are not fit to exist."
Much love and respect from Sweden, I had the amazing honor of serving side by side with US service members, they are some of the strongest and encouraging people I have ever met.
Hello friend from Sweden. I would also be honored to be by your side.
Thank you. That means a lot.
NEVER forget, NEVER surrender, NEVER have to return.
I"ve watched this 10 times and it Get's me everytime. I love America!
Thanks be to the God of the Pilgrims found in the Bible as this is who they looked to for guidance and whom the Founding Fathers looked to for wisdom!!! God has shed His grace on America! What are we doing to preserve us a nation???
Common Crew true! #WWG1WGA Qmap.pub
A great message
God bless the fallen and their families. Forever grateful.
President Regan Was my Commander in Chief. If we had a president today with his integrity this would be a much better country. God bless you Sir, May you rest in peace. AQ2 AE Yancey, VA176, USN.
In Memory of those soldiers who their lives in Afghanistan recently in August 2021
trying to help evacuate people.
One final thank you for your service
and condolences to all of their families.😐
Amen.
To all the veterans whom see this comment, I thank you with all my heart for serving and protecting our Country. And to those who lost their life in Berlin, Normandy, Tarawa, Guam, and in Iwo Jima during The Second World War I especially thank you and may their souls rest peacefully in Heaven
Great to hear President Reagan's great speech that tugs on the heart strings and beautiful words put to great music. "All of the headstones at Arlington is only a small price that has been paid." We must fight to keep our freedoms as they are in danger as no other time in our history because it is from with in.
What is scary is that is occurring right now and so many don’t see it
Please remember the fallen 2016..this veteran thanks you all for defending our freedom
Rest in peace Brothers and sisters God bless You all thank You for your service and sacrifice
Absolutely beautiful, thanks for the reminder of who holds the future, and the great past of this country!
Americans are the luckiest people on earth and we have our armed forces to thank for our god fortune. Without our armed forces we would not have the freedom we enjoy. We too often forget.
From the widow of an Army man. I say ,Thank you for this video. May God guide and our Military. And to the 13 who disliked this video , that is your right. Our husband's , fathers , mothers, sister's, brothers , aunts , uncles , grandfather's, grandmother's , wives , children , cousins , etc. have defended and fought for this great Nation and for us all.And , P.S. ....SHAME ON YOU.
Love this . Thank you Mr Reagan for the heartfelt words . Thank you to all we’ve lost 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏
Anyone else crying? God bless America! Thank you all who have served or are serving, including the families of our military.🇺🇸
To all fallen veterans, thank you.
Yes; God bless
War does not make one great, but sacrifice for a noble cause does. Let us not forget we do not glorify war, but rather the men and women who are willing to fight them in spite of the terrible toll demanded of them. God Bless America!!!!
These are our heroes 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
God bless those who have perished wearing this nations uniform. It doesn't matter what their reason for fighting was, whether it was their country, their family, or their friends, American men and women have never failed to answer the call. I am grateful to these souls who have served and now serve, that we still have people like this who answer the call when needed is reason to give thanks to God, and reason to never forget what a great nation we live in. My prayers to those who have fallen and the families who loved them.
THANK YOU
Beautiful song and tribute to our brave patriots.
Thanks to them, we have peace and strong country like today. Send them a heartfelt thank you.
THANK YOU!!!!! May God's grace and love shine down upon our fallen heroes and those who they've left behind. Their ultimate sacrifice can never be repaid but will be honored forever.
That brought me to tears......
It gets me every time
amazing tribute to our amazing fallen hero's. God blessed each of us when he blessed those that gave everything for our freedoms. Prayers to the fallen, and to the families and friends left behind.
Beautiful.... so grateful for our brave men and women who still help preserve our freedoms!
Hello dear
How are you?
We are free because they stood the wall. The only way to honor them is to keep this ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
Thank you, Hillsdale College!
Thank you Uncle Francis for giving your life in WWII
What a moving tribute,thanks for posting this
So well expressed. One of the most moving moments of my life was at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. There rests the spirit of all the fallen from the very inception of this great nation. To all those souls I say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Ive been there as well and I feel the same.
Thank you for the tribute to the real heroes of this great nation. Their lives ended many decades ago so that we shall live.
My dream is to be an honor guard, this is one of my favorite hymns because it lets the fallen know “it’s alright, your duty is done and it was done well, you can rest forever in peace.”
May the 13 US troops that died in the last days of the Afghanistan mission reside in The Mansions of Lord. RIP eternally.
If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.
Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.

May God bless all the families tgat lost loved ones in any war or mitary service!! We stand thankfull for their sacrafice!! Please teach your children about them and the freedom we have because of them!!!
May God bless our troops and veterans this Memorial Day. This is a very moving tribute.
A very beautiful Memorial Day Tribute! Thank You to all the Americans who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom who have a simple white marker with either a CROSS or a STAR OF DAVID upon their stone, you are our GREATEST HEROES! Thank You to all the MEN and WOMEN who have served in America's Military, and a special Thank You to the family members who supported a Loved One during their Military Duty!
amen
William Jones It's obviously lost on Obama, that in this speech, President Reagan mentioned the white markers with either a CROSS or Stars of David on them, because obama thinks the muslims had a hand in building America. Yet there isn't a single one buried in our Soldier Cemeteries!
God bless Hillsdale College students, faculty, and the administration for putting together this moving Memorial Day tribute and for their choir's beautiful rendition of Mansions of the Lord; and God bless President Reagan in his eloquent Memorial Day speech, and most of all, God bless those who have given the last full measure in the service of their country.
I have great respect for the military since I come from a military family. My dad was never in combat but we still had to make sacrifices.
Neal is a great cousin! He was in the military for a few year's, in the Korea war and Vietnam he was decorated with a bronze star, silver star and three purple hearts I salute you.
May you 🙏 Rest in peace God bless you
Never before have I seen such beauty. I have nothing but respect and admiration for those who have fought for our country to preserve our freedom and our very way of life. Thank you all for your service. God bless you.
This made me cry... What a beautiful tribute. God Bless our brave men and women who served and gave their lives for our Freedom! 🇺🇸
Love and Blessings to all our Military men and women on this Blessed Memorial Day! 🇺🇸💖🙇♀️
"Military Men" 😂😂😂
@@cushab3604 what is so funny?
God Bless America and Thank You for Your Service each and everyone of you
People need to stop talking about politics. This video isn’t meant for that. Talk about politics somewhere else. This video is meant to honor the fallen.
THANK YOU FOR CALLING THESE PEOPLE OUT!!
THIS IS "*MEMORIAL DAY*" AND THIS VIDEO IS FOR THIS PURPOSE ONLY!!
@@TinysMakeup Here Here
A beautiful tribute.........remember, this holiday is not about hot dogs and hamburgers, it is a time to reflect on those who fought for our freedom......
Thank you for this.
God bless our brothers and all the people of the USA we stand with you on your day. from your brothers here in the UK
When Reagan’s voice cracks... it gets me.
God bless Hillsdale College for keeping the flame of reason alive in these dark times.
Remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we may be free as Americans. God bless all of our heroes of the Armed Forces.
America is the greatest nation on earth where freedom, opportunity, prosperity and our civil society can flourish.
We owe a gratitude of thanks to the brave men, women and their families who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Teach you children well.
Awesome video. Never forget those that made the ultimate sacrifice for Our Freedom. God Bless them.
God Bless America! I pray that we as Americans come to fully appreciate and take care of this beautiful nation that we have been so blessed to call ‘HOME!’
Love this !!!! May we NEVER FORGET our heroes !!!
This was happening in my hometown. Absolutely proud of Hillsdale College.
Once again they have made so many VETERANS proud
I heard a loud voice speaking from the throne: “Now God's home is with people! He will live with them, and they shall be his people. God himself will be with them, and he will be their God. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, no more grief or crying or pain. The old things have disappeared.”
Revelation 21:3-4
❤❤❤❤thank you for sharing
Thank you for posting this. Truly one of the best videos honoring the fallen I have ever seen.
All soldiers give some for our freedom, and some give all. Happy Memorial Day.
Really moving. The combination of videos during the speech really gave me the feels.
HEROS
*Give him a word of gratitude and deep gratitude. ❤️*
Awesome! Thank You for giving your last full measure!!!!
I have lived through every War since World War II! What a Horrible Price so many have Paid! You are with our Lord now or will be Soon. God hold you and your Loved ones in his Arms! THANK YOU! I SALUTE YOU ALL.
Thank you Hillsdale College. This has been out over a year and a half and still rings true. Very moving.
The only TH-cam ad I didn't dare skip.
Same
Someone close to me, who did not serve in the military, asked me why I was weeping while I watched this. How do you explain love of country, sacrifice, honor, gratitude and the high price of freedom if someone can't understand the costs? Bless those heroes who left us at such a tender age. Thank you, Uncle Frank, and countless others for what you gave. I will never forget.
I miss my father and brother so much. My father served in World War 2 and my brother was in the Vietnam war. My BROTHER WAS DISCHARDED FOR A BAD BACK BUT MY FATHER FOUGHT TO THE END.
God bless America, and god bless those who lay their lives down for this country
Please remember my friend, SFC James Priestap, KIA, 11-23-06, Iraq.
Today is a day to give thanks to the men and women who served this nation. And some gave all, like my Uncle he was killed in the battle of Saipan in 1944. I give all my love and respect to that great generation who sacrifice so much. And to the generation who followed. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Beautiful ...very touching, moving

This guy has been dead for almost 20 years but when he speaks it gives me goosebumps and tears..
We are a blessed nation, if only every one would know it. I recently lost my husband who was a veteran of the Vietnam era. He loved this country! 🇺🇸💔❤️
I thank +Chou Chou for posting this video.I thank Hillsdale College for their contribution.I thank the military for their service.Thank you God for our blessings.
