WOW! A must see
October 24, 2007|
This will touch you.
This is an incredible video - please watch it...This film was made by a 15 year old girl. The following is the hottest thing on the internet and on Fox News today. Lizzie Palmer who put this YouTube program together is 15 years old. There have been over 3,000,000 hits as of this morning. In case you missed it, here it is.
I hope I'm doing the link right on this - it's incredibly powerful, more so because it came from a young person.
Watch all of it.......and, pass it on!!
I got chills and cried the first time I watched this video a few weeks ago. I got chills and cried again when I watched it now.

oh my gosh this is such a great video! I don't cry easily or often but I cried and cried during this video. I agree with LAW...this really needs to be on the mainstream media.

I saw this a while back, and bawled just as much this time as last. I cannot believe it was made by a 15 yr old girl...amazing!

First I held my breath and plugged my nose so I wouldn't cry. But that was too powerful and now I'm wiping the tears off my cheeks and neck.

I hadn't seen that before so thanks for posting it, GBear. But next time, warn me that I'll need a box of tissues standing by!

Speechless (I say with tears running down my face).

There are no words. Well done, Lizzie.

I remember seeing this a while ago and found it so moving. I remember then thinking that to have a 15 year old girl put this together was amazing. There is so much media attention given to the troubled youth of today that we forget to recognize that so many teens are like her. It also reminds me why our military men and women do what they do. It's for the future of wonderful children like her. I think there are many more like her in our wonderful country, it's a shame the media doesn't recognize them more often.
I receive many e-mails about different military type videos. However, there is one that I have saved and I play it at least once a week. It's awesome. If you are interested it is at www.flashdemo.net/gallery/wake/index.htm . It can take awhile to load if you have dial up like me. It should begin and end with a sunset to see all the photos. Just click on the left of the page on 'If I die before you wake' if you didn't see it in full the first time through. Oh yeah, have a box of tissues handy. It is just so real.

I remember finding this a while ago, just after DH had left. Someone had sent me a link to a utube video, and I did some searching for other videos, and came across this young ladies work.
She has a number of videos that can be found on utube, and they're all very moving. At the time (and maybe still, I'm not sure).
I hope that she continues her work on these. They are wonderful videos, even if they do inspire a fit of tears. :)

Thank you so much for this important video. I am a grandmother who served over at the Embassy in Baghdad for 8 months. I have never worked with such high caliber people in all my life. You should win an award for this clip. I am so proud of you as a fellow American.

Thank you Lizzie, I'm 50 years old and I've been crying since the 70's. I will always support our honorable soldiers, however I wish we could make our politicians watch this every time they plan their politics through other means (WAR)/profiteering deluxe actions (WE HAVE SOME DISHONEST SERVANTS IN WASHINGTON) that cause us this greif!

I have never, ever seen this before. This is so moving and making me cry and cry.
I have 2 friends that are in the Military that have already served time overseas and I will be passing this on to them. I will be lighting my 911 candle tonight for our heros, whether they are overseas or not. Thank You Lizzie, you have touched my life along with so many others.

WOW how touching. Having a daughter in Afghanistan this meant alot to me. Thanks for the very touching video.

I wonder if John Kerry would still refer to our troops as "terrorists" if he viewed this.
May God bless our troops and send His angels to protect them. May God bless America.

Why hasn't this 15-year-old been invited to someone's TV show so that we can meet her?

WOW, Lizzie you've said it all in pictures. How awesome. May God Bless our Troops.
