Cry Easily?
Certain things get me.
The final graveyard scene in "Saving Private Ryan."
Various scenes from "The Band of Brothers."
The scene in "The Patriot," at the church where various Men stand up, in order to join the Militia and take up arms. (Watching it now.)
Etc.
I Cry when viewing and feeling these scenes, and I am not ashamed to admit it.
My Dad, a hardcore Lifer ABN CSM, (WWII, Korea, Vietnam) Vet - told me "Real Men are not afraid to Cry."
There are certain things that evoke emotion. You??
Flame on.

As a 26 year combat veteran Airborne Ranger I would have told you to put a dress on 
The only movie I ever cried to was Old Yaller, I was 7 and my Dad(a Korean War vet) told me to dry it up, true story.0 -
No worries.
First Flame.
Others?0 -
They tell me I cried when I was born but I don't believe em. 0 -
Ya things get to me any more, alot more than they use to, 0 -
I'm not talking about bawling, but getting choked up - and having a tear role down your cheek. Feeling/appreciating the sacrifice of others. Not crying for myself. Big difference. 0 -
You mean like if you just found out all the taco bell's were closing for good next week??? 0 -
Count me in. After my colon removal surgery in 1994, I noticed a major change in my emotional response to situations and
while watching the tube. Hell, I even choke and tear up when watching Hallmark movies!0 -
Never. Except when they unfurled the giant American flag from the roof of the Pentagon on 9/11.
I lost it.0 -

No, not talking about that.
I would be bawling over that scenario. Kind of like you missing your Sonic Breakfast Burritos.0 -
I get chocked up every time I hear Taps played 0 -

We will just remove the "Never," here then okay?
I cried several times on 9/11. The Twin Towers were visible from my workplace. (Paramus, NJ.) We were actively involved for the next several weeks.
If you do not/have not cried in situations similar to this, I would venture that you are not in touch with your emotions.
Wanna be a Tough Guy, and not show anything, ever? Your call. Not healthy.

I can appreciate, and knew that about you Sam. Anyone that has seen as much as you have, knows that.
There are certain things/friends worth crying over.

I have cried during the singing of ?Edelweiss? every time I have watched the movie for 50 odd years.
Also, when I had to go on steroids for weeks at a time I became a blubbering idiot.
Last time was probably when a friend lost his son in Afghanistan a few years back.0 -
"Gods and Generals" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nzghvqz7ZC40 -
I didn't cry when 9/11 went down but I remember it like yesterday. I was in my team room chilling after PT when the 1st plane hit. I looked at one of my guys and said, "No way is that an accident". When the second one hit I said we will be going to war soon. 5 months later I was in Afghanistan.
It made me mad.0 -

Yes it made me mad also.
I outfitted several "Teams," going in to an "undisclosed high altitude deployment of unspecified duration."
Shortly after 9/11. They were sent in from various areas (Cove Road, etc.) specifically to seek me out, (asking for me by name.) [An honor.] in order to get outfitted, at my place of employment. State of the art, outdoor gear. If they needed it, we had it. I spent many, many hours outfitting these guys, with the best of the best, in order for them to fulfill their mission.
I was again, honored in order to serve this function, for them. Proud to this day.0 -

Don't worry about it, if you show your emotions, it means that you truly care about the issue or topic. It's also a way to cleans the soul. 0 -
I too find myself having to wipe away the tears while watching a few movies. The last one was "Heartbreak Ridge".
I started a similar post a couple years back, caught some heavy flak and was advised by a few to get my testosterone level checked!! :roll:0 -

Like you, i am not easily swayed about what others think.
I am my own man.
Aside from a few that I care about and Respect, I could care less what others think.0 -
Missing Man flybys get me every time. Always have.
When the lone plane pulls up I just about lose it.
Knowing the pilots that were honored in two of the might have something to do with it.0 -
democrats cry and wail every day 0 -

It kind of depends with me.
At a funeral or wedding, I can hold up well until I see someone I care about start to cry. Then I tear up.
We were in Pragie a couple years ago we spent the day in the Bohemian countryside searching for my Great Grandfathers village he came from, later that evening we went to a great Bohemian restaurant for Duck dinner. As we finished an older guy sat down to play piano.
He played a couple Bohemian Folk Songs that I'm sure I never heard before.
The faucets turned on! I wonder if my Grandma sand them to me when I was a baby? Either way, chasing my roots in my family homeland that day.was extremely rewarding and very emotional, obviously!
I shot a nice 8 point Whitetail in Wisconsin a few years ago with the rifle my Dad made. When it sunk in, I teared up a bit on my stand.........
So yeah, I guess I cry fairly easy.0 -
Standing by his bedside when I had to give the Ok to the docs to let my little brother go, and staying with him for the next week until things ran their course.
Whenever I've lost one of my dogs over the years...very, very seldom people, just my critters.
Bagpipes followed by Taps.0 -
taps and one other, the old rugged cross. have heard both too many times now in my life at others funerals, I can hold back on the old rugged cross, but I have to really fight back the tears when I hear taps....
ask my grandson the other day, he plays the trumpet in school if he knew taps, he said no and just looked at me funny, I told him he needed to learn it as I wanted him to play it for me someday, just got that aw papa from him and funny look from my daughter0 -

Damn Chris, that is rough.
Heard you on the dogs. I tell Buddy all the time, "I don't know what I am going to do, after you are gone."
He has been (by far) the best dog, I have ever owned. In many, many ways.0 -
