I have nothing but respect for my veterans. You don't need to agree with your president or a war, but always support the soldiers.

I have a bunch of military feels pictures. Feel free to add any of your own. I'd love to add more.

May be hard to read so i'll type it out.

"we not only help those who cannot see
But also those who have seen too much"

It's an add for guide dogs for veterans who suffer from PTSD.

This one needs some back story. This is a Russia WW2 veteran. Him and the other men in his platoon would meet in the same airport every year for a reunion. This year no one except him showed up. He waited for 2 hours before realizing no one else was coming and he was the last one left in his platoon.

sadisticsalmon I dunno, I think that Shane's voice doesn't complement the song well. I agree they do have better music backing it though. I ******* love The Pogues though, If I Should Fall From Grace With God is one of my favorite albums.

The Pogues - The band played waltzing matilda

I don't wanna sound rude, that is a great song, but I personally prefer the Pogues version.
Also, why is a song about an Anzac, always best done by the Irish

for the occasional person(s) who do not know how truly saddening this picture is, the US flag goes to the next of kin, meaning that both the boy's mother and father are gone.

His mom's alive though. I'm assuming she wanted the flag to go to her son so that he could maybe cope with the death of his father better.

"Always support the soldiers"

Yeah, because we haven't heard a couple hundred stories about war atrocities instagated by soldiers themselves over the last decade. I don't see much support for the opposing side.

It will show something during most days, for an hour or two around 11 am, more than likely.
But the picture will only be perfect on that day and time.

Those who spank the spam to MLP content do so because they've watched a series of episodes which demonstrate the personalities and daily lives of each character. This helps to bring each character in to a more believable and understandable character which some may be able to relate to. Other things which make a character their favourite cartoon to fap over includes their personality, voice, and physical features including colour. The same applies to every animated character which there is rule34 of.
