This is just a video that we've enjoyed and has been passed around the internet for a few years now. It's just a neat presentation by the Ford Motor Company. Enjoy!

This is a beautiful and moving video depicting an entire town's Welcome Home for their heroes returning from Iraq. Everyone deserves this kind of homecoming! Kearney, Nebraska has loads of class!
This video was done by Local Hero SPC Ryan McCollum of Kennewick, during his current deployment in Afghanistan. We thought we'd feature his Holiday Greetings to the folks back home, with his permission.
1Lt Luke Randall - A Co 161 Joint Base Balad, Iraq sent us this video of some still photos and video of the men in his unit on December 24, 2008. There are several still shots of troops, plus what appears to be a promotion ceremony, and of the troops receiving the boxes that Operation Thank You sent them for Christmas. There is also a video of them playing ball. Looks like they enjoyed their Christmas Eve.
