Over one million brave men and women have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country since its founding.
As we honor and remember their lives today (and every day), here are 5 Memorial Day videos to honor our fallen troops.
1. Interstate 10 – I’m Gonna Miss You (Memorial Day Tribute.)
From their YouTube page:
Currently deployed in Afghanistan, Interstate 10 still releases their Memorial Day tribute music video (recorded in Afghanistan) to their song “I’m Gonna Miss You”. The message is simple:
“Memorial Day is about remembering the ones we lost and supporting their loved ones. It’s about celebrating the lives they lived. Thanking them for allowing us the opportunity to come home safe, and most of all, thanking them for a second chance to hug our loved ones….
“Please help us spread awareness and remind the public to remember this Memorial Day. For that we salute you, all the way from Afghanistan. Thank you.” -Andrew and Justin
2. Dover Air Force Base: A Dignified Transfer.

3. Memorial Day Tribute | Mansions of the Lord | Hillsdale College.
Via Hillsdale College:
On this Memorial Day weekend, we remember those who sacrificed their lives for “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who are grieving. May we, as Abraham Lincoln famously said, “highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain–that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom–and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
4. A Tribute to Fallen Soldiers | Memorial Day 2016.
From USAA:
Every day, Michael Reagan remembers fallen soldiers in the most beautiful way: by drawing them.
He draws portraits of fallen soldiers to send to their families and to pay tribute to them. Hear Michael’s story and see a family receive a portrait of their son that Michael drew. This Memorial Day, USAA is joining Michael in remembering these soldiers.
5. Memorial Day 2016!
From US Military Videos & Photos:
