Thank God for his blessings in your life!

I had the honor this past weekend to visit Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Basic Training Bravo Company. I saw about 150 young men and 130 young woman finish US Army Boot Camp. I was amazed and proud at what I saw. All these young Americans joined during a time of war and without a draft. These young people were prepaired to serve America in a variety of fields of service. Death and suffering, a fact of war, was not hid from them yet they all emphatically swore allegiance to America and the defense of our beliefe that all men should be free.

I have never been more proud of being a US Veteran than I was seeing and hearing these proud young Americans.

Proud to be a USAF Veteran 1973-1980

Incredible. Thanks for sharing Jim.
Every day I thank God that there are people willing to put themselves in harms way to protect the freedoms we all enjoy.

Indeed, an impressive performance. But also a great deal of clever editing and sound sweetening to solcite the dramatic effect. What you saw in that sequence is likely not nearly what really happened in terms of audience and judge reactions.

For example, look at 1:56 into the scene. It's a reaction shot of the female judge, just before the girl in the audience jumps to her feet. You hear the audience roar, yet if you look at the audience in the background, the audience is just sitting there.
