NoisyRoom wishes a very happy Veteran’s Day and Remembrance Day to all the Vets out there… You people rock! Each and every day, our Veterans are in our thoughts and prayers here. When we teach our children and grandchildren of American heroes, our Vets and Founding Fathers are the heroes we give to our children and they are the ones we look up to and revere. Thank you for your sacrifice; thank you for all you’ve done and given.

Here is a small roundup of coverage out there from those who honor and love all of you… This post will be updated through the day, so check back often.

New England Republican – Brothers down through time

From Shakespeare’s Henry V, 1598:

KING HENRY V:
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember’d;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

Any nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure. Abraham Lincoln’s famous statement is the reason that Great Americans was founded one year ago on Veterans Day. But we also need to listen and learn from those who have risked their lives to defend our nation. They are messengers of truths about courage, freedom, and sacrifice that are essential to our survival. The voices in these videos have something to teach all of us.

Medal of Honor – Portraits of Valor:

The Medal of Honor was created to give expression to Lincoln’s words about heroism. Not surprisingly, those who have received the Medal of Honor talk about freedom as something precious. Their stories remind us that the lessons of freedom need to be relearned by every generation.

Wisdom from a Wounded Warrior:

Army Staff Sergeant Jessica Clements has more wisdom than most people many times her age. She earned it by recovering from combat injuries in Iraq that gave her a 2% survival rate. She says that her suffering taught her to love our country and to value the sacrifices of all those who came before her.

American Warriors Come Home:

Men and women who are parents, spouses, sons and daughters leave their families behind when they volunteer to defend our freedoms. Listen to their voices as they return home to their families and you’ll understand why they deserve to be honored as Great Americans.
