It is an amazing testament to what soldiers believe. Those who serve and those who still serve stand and take it to defend others - that is what they do.
One funeral we went to was in a very isolated rural town. My heart broke, the soldier was only 18. His younger brother had just started boot camp when the older one was killed and their mother's anguish was just so raw. It was cold and rainy, miserable weather. Over a hundred Riders stood in the rain for four hours. No one flinched. The family came out and thanked everyone and then the Marines went through the line and shook the hand of every person there. It took them another hour. No one moved.
The Riders did not face any hatred there that day. And if the people who hated had not done what they did, the Riders would not have been there. So what hatred started became something else all together.
Anyone who can watch those videos and not choke up needs to see a cardiologist to make sure they still have a heart......
