YouTube: Salutes to the Fallen and Tributes to the Troops - This is not a complete listing; there are more added all the time. This outpouring of support is not unique for this war, but it is unique because we can share it with the technology of the Internet. As a Navy Veteran, please remember the troops. Regardless what you feel about US involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, they are doing the job that they have been asked to do. This collection of videos is a cross-section - some of the music is country and some is heavy metal and everything in between. WARNING - Some people have written hateful and even obscene comments on these pages. You can quickly avoid them by clicking on the arrow to the left of "Text Comments."

Those of us who remember the Vietnam War, remember protestors who figuatively and sometimes literally attacked soldiers. While most people either support or are neutral about the troops today, there is a group that protests at the funerals of the fallen, saying that it is God's punishment for the US allowing homosexuals to exist in our country. A group of bikers has come to the rescue.
