Stories That Make Me Cry and Smile

What kind of stories do you like best? Tear-jerkers? Happy endings? Unexpected twists? Or all of the above?

It's funny that this blog prompt came up today, because the story below is a certain "Happy Ending, tear jerker" story that I love to hear about. This short video is patritism at it's best and one of the things that brings tears to my eyes and a smile on my face at the same time.

More than 1,200 US troops serving in Iraq signed up for extended service in the military to mark America's national day on the 4th at the spacious Al-Faw palace of dictator Saddam Hussein near Baghdad airport.

The US military has regularly re-enlisted service members in Iraq but Friday's swearing-in was one of the largest, the military said.



It's sad that you don't see stuff like this on the news and have to see it on the internet. What's wrong with a media that doesn't support our men in uniform?
