There's a new viral video making the rounds on the Internet. Have a look so you know what the other 8.5 million people who've seen it are talking about, then let me know what you think.
My take: This is riveting. The young man's message is powerful in its simplicity and directness; as it turns out, he knows a little something about sacrifice.
In my opinion, though, the video itself was weakened by the theatrics that were unnecessarily added in.
Not to take anything away from Lee Greenwood and his signature song, but imagine how much more powerful the video would be if it ended with this disabled veteran delivering that line -- "Freedom is always worth the price" -- and then turning and walking away in silence, leaving the viewer to consider what the speaker knows about his subject.
Wow.
