Yeah my heart definetly goes when I watch something like SPR or visit a memorial of vets. It's hard to see that men actually did stuff like that and dies fighting for ground we're standing on today and the language we speak today. It's sad to think people want to forget the past and "put it behind them", well, it's part of what today is and has shaped what today has become. People don't appreciate and stop and look behind them for the sacrifices that were given, just what they have and how to get on in front of them. I for one love to look back on the great battles of D-Day, Iwo Jima, Stalingrad, and all the rest, too numerous to list here and see how I can properly respect those living and dead who served.
