Just a Common Soldier

We seem to have our priorities mixed up.  We mourn the death of a politician; but, when a soldier dies – it is just another soldier who has passed.  The politicians cause the war and the soldiers solve the problem by giving their all – so how can we change this?

For many years, Stephen Clouse has made videos designed to inspire donations to worthy causes. Recently, he made a different kind of video. It’s not designed to solicit donations but to honor those who have given so much for our country.

In this video, veteran Hollywood actor Tony Lo Bianco reads a poem called “Just a Common Soldier.” It’s a moving tribute to the soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen who have served our country. As Tony reads the poem, viewers are treated to emotional images of our honored vets. As they were on the battlefield; and as they are now.

Clouse is asking Americans to share the video with their followers on Facebook and other social media channels such as YouTube and Twitter. The goal is to get 21 million “likes”—that’s one for every one of the estimated 21 million living veterans—between Memorial Day on May 25 and Veteran’s Day on November 11, 2015.

Please help by keeping this moving until November 11, 2015 which is Veteran’s Day.
