This one gets me weeping every single time: http://www.blackfive.net/photos/uncategorized/2007/04/12/christian.jpg That kid, trying so hard to stay strong, and the Marine's body language just aches for the kid's loss... Every time. View Quote God damn you. Came here expecting this picture, now it's dusty in here. Did not disappoint. |

Not a pussy at all.
I wish this picture would be more circulated 99 percent of ARFcomers get it. The rest of the country I'm not so sure about. |

OP is not a pussy.
If a human being doesn't feel something from viewing those, they probably aren't human. |
|
Definitely not a pussy.
You just recognize what the "Memorial" in Memorial Day weekend means. |

Today i was driving up I-81. For the first time ever, I saw people on a bridge waving flags to all of the people on the road down below. I never saw this before. For some reason, seeing that made me want to tear up. There is not a whole lot that will make me do that.

You have to move on, it is not healthy to camp out on a grave. We don't know how long ago he was KIA..but you must work thru the 5 steps of loss, Elizabeth Kubler Ross is an excellent author on the subject. By seeing the baby is under a year, I guess she is still early in the grieving stage. When u see this 5 yrs down the road, you like the attn it brings and get a kick out of seeing yourself on FB with people crying over it.Sad and harsh , but true. |

ABSOLUTELY NOT. I would gladly stand a post with you!
Its the longest war we have ever been in and THEY were all VOLUNTEERS. I have nothing but respect for our warriors. Fuck the rest of these soft belly fuckers who complain about their rights and doing nothing to make our country better. |

There's a group of pictures online titled, Just Girly Things. You're run of the mill girl crap that young ones obsess over. Well sometime decided to take those pics and make Just Soldier Things. Some of it will make you laugh, but a lot of it can make you wipe a tear off. Example: http://i.imgur.com/eVsqzkF.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/06/27/dd/0627ddcc2210b8d4894008fd4aed17c4.jpg http://i.imgur.com/O2yRRON.jpg View Quote Really puts things in perspective. |

I saw lots of soldiers come through our clinic and held the hands of many who died. The hardest thing for me is not knowing their names and not being able to say farewell to them individually.

No you are not a pussy.
I spent the last week shooting rabbits at Lindis Downs in Otago, New Zealand. As prep for the job I was on google. Turns out Lindsay James Phillips 2NZEF KIA 31 Jan 1945 came from Lindis downs. I sleep in the woolshed he had no doubt spent a lot of time in,had a cup of tea in the kitchen he no doubt had breakfast in, and walked over a lot of the ground he would have. I have no connection to him or his family. But I was disappointed that I could find nothing further about him or how he died. 26 Battalion was not involved in any historic action on 31 jan 1945, just in the line in Italy. Nothing special going on, but a few days later his Mum would have received the worst of all telegrams. No you are not a pussy |

I don't tear up, but those types of memes/pics definitely make me pause and reflect for a minute.

the one that always got me was, the pic of the women laying down inside of a church in front of her husbands casket while a marine stood guard
