- I send my sincere condolences to the family and friends Brian. I think CBS you have that entire segment that was shown on Sunday Morning on this website for everyone to be able to view and not just a shorten version

- As the mom of a sailor who just came home with his SEAL team from Iraq, I wish the news would run this story every day. People in this country need to remember why they can have the freedoms we all enjoy. They wouldn't be listening to Michael Jackson music or going to his concerts without them!

- Thank you for this wonderful, heartwarming story. I cried through the entire thing. I would love to see one of these "opinion" stories every week! I have a 19 year old son, and I cannot imagine living through what these families are dealing with every day after the loss of their children to war. I had to post it to my Facebook profile to make sure all of my friends have to opportunity to see it. Thank you again for your wonderful Sunday show!

- When the Commander in Chief gives a 4th of July message about "American Spirit" and does NOT mention the sacrafices of our military, something is wrong. The media got this wrong too...God bless Martha Gillis!

- Go see for yourself, he never once thanks our military for their sacrafices or their American spirit ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPcTv7EZWzo
- Junie, as I posted above, that comment should have been here under yours, but want to add to your shown lack of knowledge and the reality. I suggest you Visit the Veterans Administration site and Look at All that has been done these last few months for those of us who served or are serving! That which Never was thought of, as the country cheered on these two occupations, by those setting the policies and those cheering with their magnetic ribbons! And then visit the Congressional websites and look at the Oversite, Investigations and Hearings of the 110th and now the 111th verses the 108th and 109th congresses, of which the later two brought forth the rubber stamping of billions wasted and destructive occupations of innocents!!!!!!
- Go see for yourself. He never once mentioned the sacraficies or the American spirit of our military in Iraq or Afghanistan ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPcTv7EZWzo
- Hey Moonie we have Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Armed Forces Day etc where the sacrifices are always mentioned not every holiday is a testament to the sacrifices of the military, and don't you dare tell me I don't respect the troops I am a disabled veteran of 2 wars Vietnam and The Persian Gulf War I am 100% disabled Army Infantry Sergeant and your attempt to make this an attack on the nations CinC when it is a tribute to a fallen soldier says more about you than anyone else, you will use a military death to push your Faux news talking points even the people at Daily Kos have a nightly tribute to the nations fallen and there is NO politics allowed in it either just love and remembering the people who died in our names, wether we agree with the war or not. Not everything in America has to be a tribute to war and death, should we get rid of Halloween and easter? and make them Veterans Days? Grow up
- I agree JunieMoonie...
This fourth of July speech is the most pathetic piece of campaign KRAP I have ever heard...the same clap trap about health, education, and the economy, ALL of which he's propings the most insane legislation...
To give a fourth of July speech and not recognize or speak to this FREE COUNTRY, and the people who have fought to keep our FREEDOM and to praise those who are fighting and to honor the ones he just sent to Afghanistan with the most insane orders I've ever heard in my life from a commander in chief...
This sorry pathological liar needs to step down and let a real American who knows what The Fourth of July means to lead us...
NO MORE KRAP DODDLE FOREIGNERS WITH IDENTITY CRISES ALLOWED IN OUR WHITE HOUSE!
- To I thought it was funny nope yup you need a "real American" like Caribous barbie and her seccesionist husband in the White House maybe she could resign 2 and half years into being President because it wasn't "fun" anymore we need "real" americans like that to lead us they really know how to "cut and run"
- Wow, what a powerful and touching story, and one that I am glad we finally DID get to hear, even if it was over 2 weeks after it happened.

- Very poor attempt at trying the negative on our CiC, suggest you go and read the statement of the forth, and others as well, and trying to make such an attempt on a thread about something like this Heartfelt Comment of grieving, by the Family Member of one of our Fallen, shows how Childish and Immature you are!! Show respect for our fallen brothers and sisters, 'Nam 70-'71, or just go shopping and stay away from that computer!!!!!
- garadengirl, My reply, on CiC, should have posted to the one below this not yours, just posted an apology for apparently hitting the wrong 'reply too', or something happened when the page jumped as I started writing!
- Amen! What a beautifully done piece. Please post a link to the video - reading the words is not nearly as powerful as hearing this beloved soldier's aunt.
- Please post this video so it can be shared. This is where the media is skewed in what they choose to memorialize.
- I was so moved by this story. I didn't even know Brian, but I found myself crying as I listened to his story. I saved it to my DVR as a reminder of what is truly important in life. My heart and prayers go out to his family, and the families of all the other men and women we've lost in this war. (I truly hope CBS decides to post the video to this site.)
- This is the new reality. At his best, MJ was an exploited child who grew into a crotch-grabbing, drug-addicted, freakish looking by design, with payouts and trials for child molestation.
Yes, yes, he was not convicted, but 99.999999999% of the population never gets accused of such a thing. MJ admitted sleeping with children in a documentary film. In the first case, the child was even able to identify the spots on his genitalia and get $15 million as hush money.
Al Sharpton, and most others, have tried to whitewash the terrible actions of MJ just because he could sing and dance. How stupid! And people, especially young people, who apparently have no sense and no values at all, are willing to forget what a beast MJ really was and glorify him in the tasteless tribute to a crazed man at Staples Center.
Yet, true heroes, genuine role models like Brian Bradshaw are ignored. This is American at its worse. Welcome to ObamaWorld.
- The worth of the American brain has been reduced to IPOD's, MTV, dancing backwards while grabbing your crotch represents heroism to them...these same people have thrown down a free education and throw their heads back screeching feed me, feed me, instead of bringing themselves out of poverty...
It is mind boggling to real Americans who live responsibly, pay our bills, buy our houses understanding what we're signing, while we feed our children, see that they get an education so they can support themselves in the manner that we've supported them...to have to see a country so mired into ignorant celebrities humping each other...it makes you want to puke and the waste in this country.
Liberals looking all goo goo eyed at a bunch of pornographic, violent movies stars pretending to be worth something all the while belting out...I want to hump your boness uh huh...I want to hump your boness...yo momma ho, let me come hump your boness...while these idiots go to glamor shots and have their pictures air brushed...
Michael Jackson's debacle was a scourge on this country of the nth degree...but it's a perfect example of the liberals who will support any pervert, any lyer, any kind of corruption with total admiration and support.
- In reference to "IThoughtItWasFunnyNOPE" comment, I can never understand how people boil down an issue to it being conservative or liberal. It is such an immmature way to look at life. I think people would be more open to your opinion, just lose the labels.
- Immature mediaman6? No, you just don't understand politics. America is polarized because of a lust for money and power. There is so much at stake that neither side will give ground. Labels are important. Even sports teams wear uniforms so you know which side people are on. It is naive to think it should be otherwise.
