Tribute Video

I don't post a lot of these, but I'm told this young lady is 15 years-old. Would that the Speaker of the House could get it like Lizzie does.

Your work is truly an act of love and devotion. God has touched you and speaks through your work. As the parent of one serving, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

That's moving. That should be televised in place of commercial spots. I sadly doubt that will happen.
God bless all who serve in uniform and their families and loved ones.

Fantastic video, I'm sad that the comment thread below it (on youtube) has managed to bring out so many ill-informed and negative people. I really hope that's the very vocal stupid minority.

Amazing Tribute to our Troops
This is done by a 15 year old, Lizzie Palmer.
It is very well done.

Yep, it was also posted a couple of weeks ago here. Very nice tribute, she obviously gets it.
Will merge the threads.

Thank you, I must have misspelled her name in the search. I searched for "Lizzie Palmer".
I just re-tried the seach, and it worked.
