This video was released by the NRA right before Thanksgiving 2009. It is a portion of a speech given by Lt. Col. Oliver North at the 2009 NRA annual meeting. In his speech, Lt. Col. North reminds us that while we are home enjoying time spent with our families and friends this holiday season, we have thousands of men and women overseas representing us in a war. These American Heroes cannot be with their loved ones during the holidays and we need to be cognisant of their sacrifices and be thankful for their selfless love of country.
Lt. Col. North tells a story about a young Navy Corpsman who runs into a firefight to save the lives of several soldiers. This young man is a shining representation of what it means to be an American Soldier. We should all be both proud and thankful.
I was so moved by this video that I needed to include it as this week's blog post. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I have. God Bless America.
