More on Lizzie

The video I posted in support of our troops was featured on Fox News Sunday last year. I just recently stumbled upon it. I felt it was stirring enough to post it on my blog even after almost a year. I found an autobiography from Lizzie in the May 2007 issue of military mom at home magazine:

I’m a sophomore in high school in Ohio, and I play the flute/piccolo. I plan on joining the U.S. Army after I graduate. I only hope I can make America as proud as our troops today have, and I hope I can honor them in the way they deserve with my videos.
I love talking to American military personnel, but it’s not very often that I get the chance.
Hope you all have a great day and God bless!

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

After Lizzie originally  posted her video she got many comments not all good, she had to shut down the comments section she added the following disclaimer :

ATTENTION! I apologize for any inconvenience, but I have been receiving way too many negative comments and people arguing with and insulting each other in comments on this video. After a lot of hard thought, I have decided to disable comments on my video. I may or may not turn them back on again, we’ll have to see. Again, I’m sorry, but you can thank the people who decided to turn this into a debate forum. Thank you for your time, and I apologize again to those of you who didn’t do anything wrong.

Thanks,
Lizzie Palmer
