"but I'm not the only one"

[Barad Simith]

3 minute video by my friend Crystal

I'm surprised. I didn't know she was this proficient at audio and video editing. And the more I watch it, the more I see how much care she put into it.

This is especially heartwarming to me, since she used to be a right-leaning independent, and I see her continuously moving leftward. (Kind of a no-brainer, though, when I stop to think about it. She's as sick of this illegal war as any other sane person.)

6. Please tell your friend thank you.....

that was the theme song for my high school graduation (Viet Nam era) and every time I hear it I get goose bumps, even more so now. How appropriate that it is still so poignant.:patriot:

7. I can't stop crying. That was one of the best v clips I've seen.

"Imagine" No song could have said it better. Touching. Very touching and heartbreaking. Tell your friend she did an amazing job.

9. I like the way she didn't use text...

Since I didn't even know, the first time I saw it, that she was the one who put it together, I expected a website to be promoted at the end. (I originally thought she was just showing me something she found.)

I like how it's just the music and images, and nothing else.

OMG, the faces. :cry: Great video.

11. My friend Alan is in that montage

He's the Man waving the black flag in front af the National Guard troops just before they opened fire at Kent State on May 4, 1970.

You'll all be glad to know that he is still fighting the bastards and he has an informational webpage here:

13. That's interesting. I didn't know there was...

...a name associated with that photo. Crystal was just a toddler in 1970, so she probably doesn't know it, either. I'm going to send that link to her.

17. That was very beautiful

Your friend did a great job. I loved it.

:cry:

[driver8]

19. WOW!!! Very powerful...I have tears in my eyes...

The pictures that really get me are the ones with the children...

There is a picture of a soldier hugging his two little children that instantly brought tears to my eyes. I have two little ones at home and I cannot imagine having to leave them to fight in this fucked up war.

[meganmonkey]

20. Oh, wow

:cry:

I don't even know what to say, it was beautiful.

:cry:

I can't wait for the time when this can end. It has to end sometime.

[ailsagirl]

21. There are no words...

Except to thank you and Crystal for bringing it here.

[Hailtothechimp]

23. Very moving. Thanks for posting it.

I keep wishing that all of this crazy shit will end. But the more it goes, the deeper it becomes.

24. THE FULL LINK TO THE VIDEO for anyone who wants to email it

I received a private message from someone asking for the full link to the video that could be shared by email.

DU automatically truncates these addresses. They're still click-able, but can't easily be copied and pasted. (You have to 'save the target' which some people don't understand.)

So here's the full link. Just remove the * and put :// in its place.
