This video, produced by a 15 year old, is all over the conservative blogosphere (well over 2 million people have viewed it). I had to repost it after watching. It is so powerful it’s almost hard to watch when people say things like this (posted as one of many hateful comments on YouTube):

ok. i still don’t care for the troops. it’s sad that they are dying for no reason but i don’t particularly care about them. “
Our support must be genuine, consistent and unified. These are proud Americans fighting not just for us but for a terror-free way of life. My prayers and thanks will always be with them.

“Propaganda,” Erin… She’s 15 for crying out loud! Stop dipping into the “cheese heroin!”
…and, Erin. The slogan here is “Remember Me.” Isn’t she already “honoring the warrior and not the war?” I watched it a couple times over and I still don’t see anything that directly supports our current war. Maybe I need to dip into a bit of that cheese to see what you saw.
You can contact Lizzie at the source…YouTube.
12,053,623 views as of this afternoon on Youtube alone, excluding other video sites. The music is Pacific Wind by Ryan Farish, it wasn’t available from Amazon.com but i managed to find it on iTunes (its probably part of an album of a different name, and thus WOULD be available on Amazon.com, but i didn’t check THAT thoroughly).
Dear Lizzie,
Your support for the troops is inspiring.
On my web site, my postcard for
National Post Card Week 2007
is “Freedom” dedicated to our troops.
Let me know if you would like to use the image in
a future video

I don’t get the thinking of those who say we should honor our troops home so they can be safe and sound and not get hurt. And this is going to keep terrorists from following them home and killing their families as well?
I know this is hard on families and friends who have troops fighting this, but they are keeping the fighting where it comes from. I don’t think they’d be in the military if they weren’t interested in serving our country.
Thank you to all of our service people, our commanders (including President Bush). And may God Bless everyone involved, including those affected in these other countries. Certainly, we need God. I urge everyone to keep being thankful and praying.
People are real sheep in this country.
Of coarse we support our troops for gods sake. The simple fact that there are those out there that pretend that being against this war is = to being against out troops should tell you their true motivation. Then again I guess one would have to have an IQ above the 40% range to be able to see this.
Its amazing to me that the American people are so stupid as to not realize what the heck is going on when a president and his associates that have over 70 years worth of ties with mid east oil start a way that cuts off 25% of the worlds supply.
The Saudis are sure happy thought.
Doesn’t Bush and gang have strong business ties with the Saudis? No I must be wrong….. People would revolt if that were true…. Well maybe not..
(((((((I know this is hard on families and friends who have troops fighting this, but they are keeping the fighting where it comes from. I don’t think they’d be in the military if they weren’t interested in serving our country.))))))))
This is the most fundamentally ridiculous simple-minded notion I have ever heard. If you think that these people are going all of a sudden hate us less at some future time then there is nothing that can ever help you. Just keep watching FOX news and wash rinse and repeat.
Why do people have to continually be reminded that Saddam and the Iraqi’s fought against these terrorists organizations for 30 years. Saddam saw them as a threat to his regime. Most of the terrorist organizations from this region are based out of Saudi Arabia. Not Iraq.
These are simple straight forward facts. They can be verified by anyone.
Once you verify them ask your self than Why Iraq. Anyone that has the slightest knowledge of the Mid East knows that there was no way in hell anything that this administration said about Iraq was true.
I work in the Bio-tech field. When I saw the supposed bio-labs AKA canvas covered trucks I fell on the floor laughing. This administration has intentionally faked Intel. Period. end of story. His entire family history is based on oil and war profiteering.
Wake the hell up
America is the worst thing to happen to Iraq.
The fact that we helped Saddam come to power, criticize him for using biological chemicals even though we have been bombing Iraq with depleted uranium missiles. Let’s not call the kettle black. Those are missiles filled with depleted uranium. NUCLEAR WASTE PEOPLE. Now we are occupying them, taking their oil.
I have an uncle in the army who has been to Iraq numerous times and from what I understand the guys in our military can’t STAND the Iraqis, being that they will wave to you one day then shoot at you the next. And why is that I wonder? Maybe the radiation is getting to them? It sure is affecting their newborns. How about you people look up those poor, mutated babies and cry over that instead, they sure as hell didn’t sign up for that!
Anyone who thinks that coming back from Iraq will bring the terrorists over here needs to stop watching these nostalgic soldier videos and realize that is nonsense, there were NO terrorists in Iraq before we even invaded.
Who is Lizzie Palmer? Where does she live and go to school? Where did she get the pictures? What, specifically, inspired her to make the video? Did she get any help? From where? Do her parents or any other close relative work for the government, military, or defense contractors? What is her ambition?
Thanks, Lizzie. You’ve made us all proud. We won’t forget!
Ms Palmer,
I hope that this finds it way to you.
As a vetern of the Vietnam War, your video tugged at something deep inside me, and, I suspect, those of us who served in that terrible war. I was never “in country”. None the less, I was part of the military who served in a war that divided a nation.
Your video tribute would, had it been available during that tragic period, have helped countless people, on both sides of the fence: for the war / against the war. It would have lessened the nightmare that was Vietnam.
I used the salutation “Ms” at the beginning because it is intended as a form of respect, just as Dr. is used to address those who heal. I believe your video should do that very same thing.
