Misc Today's halftime show - Page 9

**luv** · 11-06-2011, 05:40 PM

Did they show or say anything about today's halftime?

It was Armed Forces recognition day. During halftime, there was the family of a soldier who is overseas. His wife, two young children, and his parents were midfield, and the wife had a mic in her hand. They brought him up on the jumbotron, and he was in the middle of saying something (love you, miss you, etc). She, of course, was trying not to cry. The the video feed started shorting out. The announcer came back on to say that they were experiencing technical difficulties. Then, the sections by the tunnel started cheering, causing everyone to look over. Everyone started cheering when they saw it was him running out of the tunnel. His kids saw him and ran toward him. They showed his wife, who was crying. I started crying just watching it all unfold. Getting teary eyed now just thinking about it. It was really awesome.

Oh, you're going to hell alright, but it has nothing to do with this thread.

Nope.

Nothing.

We all have different worldviews - which is why I believe I found the halftime show to be lame, and this video to be not moving.

I'm definitely the person in this thread that's trying to come off as "tough".

you don't talk about your back ground, true. But you shoot off your mouth from the security of being behind your keyboard. You wouldn't be so tough to a vet, or me for that matter.

You sure are bad at history. Are you sure you're not a veteran?

Dude. Those are totally staged.

Seriously, the first girl's reaction is so priceless.

And you're doing what, exactly?

I acknowledge the fact that you're a street fighting physical marvel. Congratulations on that. Here's the part where you tell me what a badass you are again and tell me you're going to kick my ass if you ever see me in person.

.....And go.

It's not so much the fact that these people are veterans. IMO, it's just the fact that they've been away for so long.

Not so bad at history. He was essentially commander in Chief when he died. Making him an active militia.

He was a veteran of WWI. He even got a whole bunch of jewelry for it, too.

Adolf Hitler survived WWI. He's a veteran.
