Project Vigil: D-Day 2014, The saluting boy on Omaha beach

I pray that this isn't a repost, but if it is I offer my apologies now with a promise to remove it.

I am friends on Facebook with the founder of COAR15, Roger. He posted something today I felt should be shared.

I didn't want to watch this but I did it anyway. Once I started watching I was compelled to watch it for the full 8 minutes to the end. I won't lie; I was moved to tears - for the wonderful act of this young man, for the parents who raised him, and for the countless men who lost their lives on Omaha Beach that day 71 years ago.

I dare you to watch this & if you do, I challenge you to not shed a tear or two.

Project Vigil: D-Day 2014, The saluting boy on Omaha beach
On June 6th, 2014, my 11 year old son wanted to say thank you to the soldiers who fought and died on Omaha beach on D-Day morning 70 years earlier. This is how he did it.

Had to play it for the wife on our TV with the sound bar on.
Was dusty in the room !

Thanks for posting Thomas.

Make it a sticky through June 7....maybe longer.

Damn. I'm such a sucker for that kind of stuff.

Freaking allergies, thanks Ginsue.

Some still 'get it', but I'm afraid they are in the tiny minority.

The contributions of our patriots fighting for freedom should never be forgotten.

I hope he's able to return this year. Thanks to Roger and Ginsue for the post.

I made it to 4:50 before my eyes started leaking. Thanks for posting.

I lost it when the trumpeter joined him. Thanks for the post Ginsue.
