Grab a Tissue

May 26, 2010 by Julie 23 Comments

I was going to save this video to post after dinner tonight, but it really deserves its own post.

Grab a tissue, my friends.

God bless our troops.

    You’re right about that tissue – I couldn’t stop the tears. I think it was the dog at the beginning that really did me in!
