SFC Remsburg received a two-minute standing ovation he received near the end of President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address; brought back memories of the day a blast changed his life near Kandahar more than four years ago.


He is an example of why I serve America, I truly want to thank him and all the
Armed Forces comrades that have gave all to secure Americas Freedom. This touched me because, I just recently returned from Afghanistan and know the sacrifice our brave comrades are making. I lost a friend over there on July 27, 2013 to an IED blast and dedicate this ovation/recognition to his sacrifice.


 Did this ovation touch you, like it touched me displaying resilience and the "Warrior Ethos"?

SFC Davis,


Thank you for sharing this as I am sure that besides myself it brings back many for other s as well, especially the good ones of friends and comrades we have lost who made the ultimate sacrifice for us all.


This was a heart tugging moment, again thank you and condolences on your loss.
