Memorial Day Tribute 2019 – Veterans In Memoriam
Memorial Day Tribute 2019 – In memoriam – Military veterans who passed away this past year #MemorialDay
We are already on #MemorialDay , and as you know, I am doing every month the In Memoriam for celebrities who passed away in Music, in Film, TV and in Sports. And this year I started a new series of videos about celebrities in the military.
For this Memorial Day Tribute 2019 video, I wanted to mix both ideas, and pay homage to those who passed away and served in the military.
There will be a lot missing from the video, and I am aware of that, but I´d rather do the tribute with the information I could gather, and I am confident that you will understand that the whole point is fo this to be a tribute. You can add as many names to this list as you wish. I think this can be something I can prepare for every Memorial Day going forward.
I hope you enjoy this Memorial Day Tribute and see it as a fit homage as it is intended.
And may they all rest in peace.
