- President Obama presents the Medal of Honor to Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator Edward Byers, U.S. Navy. Senior Chief Byers receives the Medal of Honor for his courageous actions while serving as part of a team that rescued an American civilian being held hostage in Afghanistan on December 8-9, 2012.
It is so refreshing to listen to a President that is thoughtful and eloquent of speech. A stark contrast to one who just left office.
Wanna talk about the one who came after?
you dumb bastard,obama hates this country,PRESIDENT TRUMP LOVES THIS COUNTRY
It's to bad that some Americans can't recognize the greatness on President Obama. Humble , articulate, sense of humor, quick wit and able to address many different audiences.
Racist, hates police. Yeah he's great.
It's Pathetic that a lot of Idiots can't recognize the Mental Illiness and Corruption of the Sick Demented Twisted piece of Crap. So is His Husband Michael!! Aka Michelle. You Yourself needs a Pysch Consult!
He was a smooth talking POS
You do realize that the Medal of Honor was for the SEAL not the president, right?
@@justicewaits7726 Obama isn't a socialist haha seriously - you think he's a socialist, Obama is a capitalist. Sure, he wants everyone to have access to affordable healthcare - but who wouldn't want that, that doesn't make him a socialist.
That was a true president. That man was a genuine hero. That man and every man and woman who serve their country. No matter if in a medical coat or in a uniform. We will overcome.
That POTUS was a American sellout
God Bless The Navy seals! My brother is one of those great warriors! Thank you for your service!🇺🇸🇺🇸
It makes me sick that y’all turn this into a political debate...Can we just appreciate the amazing hero that risked his life to keep us safe
Nathan he never served maybe boy scouts .. He came at me I just made a truthful comment on how it is n Special Ops I served as a Marine n 71 Southeast Asia
@@lajack5273 what in the fuck are you talking about, you must have a really sad life to try to talk some of the bs you are talking
@@user-ec8gp3ly5x You must have never served especially in 71 as I did USMC also who died and left you boss
@@lajack5273 LMFAO, this is proof you’re a fraud and an idiot: “Left you boss” in the military you’re not called “Boss” you’re ether NCOIC, OIC, commander, chief, Etc....LOL you fucking coward fraud, stop stealing valor
I can c u didn't serve or maybe n the Boy Scouts either way u didn't serve quit trying to change the subject or distract so people don't look so close.at you and how you. tear people down so you feel better. I was a US Marine 1833 MOS amphibious Assault. And look Math I mean Dickwad I sa I d a few days ago Who died and left you boss a saying that's been around forever. I am 69 served as a US Marine that went through MCRD San Diego 1971 3rd Batallion that still had to use the Roundtop metal quansit hut. I can remember all training bootcamp then we went to Edson Range to Snap In if u know what that means. By the way, I.shot Sharpshooter with the M14 and I qualled with the 45. Then we.went back to MCRD to close order drill on the Grinder / Graduated then we had to report to Mike Co. at Infantry training Regiment be for 3 1/2 wks then Schools Batallion at Camp DelMar Oceanside, CA. Now Nath if my references which I remember and put down names and places proudly. I will wait to c what you show us about when and where you served.
Not a big fan of President Obama but I cannot denie he is a great public speaker and the respect he can show to to the military is very humbling... Supporting the men and women who will defend this country with there life is awe inspiring..thank you
Hes my favourite president America ever had- if I could swipe him for England I would ha ha
Hes duch a humane person with a beautiful heart, smile and sense of humour x
I often hear this, and the challenge I offer to Obama disapproval is, what specifically in the economy, or society, did he do that angers you.
The second is, if you can't criticize your favorites, only the ones you don't like, you're probably not a patriot, youre brainwashed. I can criticize any leader, and we should do this, just criticize with facts not feelings.
@@YahWay. 85% of people in America had healthcare. After Obama care 90% had healthcare at about $2500 higher cost with much higher deductibles was definitely a big one, not to mention his failure of an operation known as Operation Fast and Furious.
@@kevinprzy4539 you clearly don't know how to look up economics data. And you bring up a supposed scandal, like it mattered
Did you ignored the daily scandals of trump, so just go away. Every president has the odd disaster. Obama had a few, but didn't have them daily like Donald Trump did. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings,
Here's the difference between you and I. I can recognize the failings of both Democrats and Republicans. You are blind to the massive stench of Republicans, and probably think they're doing a good job.
Hand in your right to vote,
@@YahWay. lmao why are you assuming I like trump? And nah man you didn’t hurt my feelings and you still haven’t proved anything little guy.
After hearing this speech from President Obama, I have a new respect for the American Navy Seal and wish I was an American.
to me as a non-us civilian, this is also an inspiration just to reflect on what I can do every day to just trying to become a better person never getting close to these examples but at least contribute a small bit to make the world a better place.
There's heroism in all of us. We all can serve in our own way. When you acknowledge another's service in praise, you serve.
“Will move heaven and earth to bring them home” that’s powerful.... America is still the greatest.🇺🇸
Someone should remind Biden
Except a Marine seal does it better!!!!
@@abaddon4823 this is Not about hidening biden
We will send thunder and lightning!!
@@jimkamees2102 A very unnecessary and disrespectful childish comment.
An actual president
Wish he was still president
much respect to all medal of honor recipients from blighty
I was never a fan of Obama as president. However, here in this moment deserves respect. He's honoring a man, a soldier and hero. Take a moment to listen to what he's saying. He's honoring a hero.
More power to all navy seals !! May God bless all of you
God Bless All of Our Special Operators, Seals Green Berets, Rangers Marine Corp Recon. Your service to this country will always be remembered.
Hoo rah!!
I love that his mom asked if she could come. Sir I’m as proud of you and your fellow officers as your mother is. Thank you.
How many other SEALS should have been awarded with the metal of honor but weren't because their mission was secret. We will never know.
If you trully watched this video, you wouldnt have written this comment, as the same lines were already said by 44th .......
This is not why they choose their job.
@BundesRepublic Murica LOL true enough . Sometimes over relying on spell check removes the brain from the loop
@@johnkendall6962 Yeah, blame it on that.
We always know that there are those serving the US in areas that must remain secret, whose contributions we will never know and for which we will never be able to thank them. Sometimes those contributions come at the cost of their lives. Such devotion to duty and to the cause of freedom is hard for the rest of us to understand - but in a service like this where we get to see one of those persons, and applaud him - we find some degree of pleasure, that here was one we could acknowledge and thank.
Thank you Seal Team 6 and President Obama. Looks like the world outsourced her prayers to people who could actually do something for her FFS.
I sure appreciate President Obama recognizing our military best.. and their moms!! :)
Thank u from the bottom of my heart & soul what u warriors do!!!!
A REAL hero, alongside a REAL president.
Obama was a disaster. Not biden level disaster, but still garbage.
Humble man that’s a total badass. Respect 🇬🇧
our heroes, incredible SEALS, thank u too all soldiers past and present...
This was presented with honor and respect, in an articulate manner by a leader.
Why don't you say what's on your pea brain mind
@@deanvarelas5311 well, aren’t you sofisticated.
A leader!? Obama is a traitor to the United states military
@@maxxleonard9399 punks like YOU are the true traitors to the American people, YOU are a hate monger a liar and most likely a racist trumper!!!✊🏻🇺🇸
@@skypilot4202 Laugh My Ass Off no. I’m simply in favor of Law and Order and politicians adhere to their oath to uphold the constitution. You on the other hand, are an obsessed cultist who supports a party that is systematically destroying your freedom and quality of life and you vote for them thinking you’re going to be better off as they steal elections, imprison their political enemies, lie and deceive you weak minded cultists Laugh My Ass Off
Oh yea ! I’m so “taken aback “ by your name calling at me.
You pitiful loser
What a beautiful n solemn occasion... the US is so very lucky!!🌹
Why can’t we find another commander and chief like this one
He was one of the worst presidents ever!
Amazing speech
You are the freakin' man.. thank you for your service. I was USAF 93-97. -Paul Lawson
You would never hear that disgrace in office now speak this highly of our military. As a conservative I want to say thank you President Obama from a former military.
Did you serve for partisan political reasons? ua-cam.com/video/ISL_pufuVFM/v-deo.html
You are the disgrace to attempt to disgrace this ceremony.
God bless America. This is truly the land of the brave..I'm soooo proud to be a American...
Not a fan of BHO but this was an excellent tribute to a warrior who had to finish a dangerous mission after watching his very close friend be killed. Remarkable.
and Trump in the alternative? He'd leak this classified information.....share it with his gold caddy
💯💯
Damn I love hearing him speak, hilarious and honorable and humility
He's good speaker, and a better divider... Next to Joe, the worst Commander in Chief in US history.
@@davidsauer6286 the “dividers” are the right wing racists who are afraid of a non white leader!!!✊🏻🇺🇸
I met a navy seal at a doctor's office. We spoke and I never met anyone as polite as he was.
@@davidsauer6286 worse than that traitorous dog Trump? Come on man even you know that's bullshit.
simp
Great presntation to a deserving member of the Military. God Bless him and all his comrades who routinely risk their own lives for our country.
This man is a true Patriot unlike the chooches that call themselves Patriots today. I salute you sir.
Ultra genius men. Different work.
Amazing. Thank you
A minute of silence for all those heroes who couldn't make it for such a day.
Congratulations Senior Chief Byers!🇺🇸
All this time later. God bless you warrior
Thankyou x x x x x 😇😇
The "King Neptunites REX" Tolled me to say thanks to his crew members. Thank You. From a "ShellBack".
Wow, just wow!!! Special operators though
" I do not advertise the nature of my work." Navy Seal credo.
They don't advertise! They are supposed to NOT talk!
Mike Thornton and Tom Norris, still brothers. Amazing warriors.
Thank you 🙏
HOOYAH! Thank you for your service sir.
Bless Them
Those who stay out of the limelight, public, they risk their lives so we can enjoy the freedom we have, God bless them all.
Obama leaned over and said "you're allowed to smile."
My God. Amazing
a real warrior
A truly American hero !
Much respect
Hooyah, Senior! Bravo Zulu, Brother.
What a wonderfull ceremony! You will never see my government calling the Name of God!

Honors to Navy seal and to the greatest USA Presidente Obama
Always respect patriotism America is a great nation even though I'm a none American . Respect .
I am a Republican who never voted for President Obama, but, he was the last man to hold our highest office and maintained the respect that it deserves, and, frankly, that it demands. Americans have always looked at the President of the United Stares with reverence and awe.
Having suffered through the Trump years, and now Biden, that respect for the office of President has eroded, and we now see it as a job that apparently no one wants. Judging by our last two office holders it is clear that our best men and women are remaining as far removed from public office as possible.
Yeah……it’s a shame he’s married to someone who was never proud to be an American until her husband was elected president. Obama, the great divider.
I have no idea why you think Biden does not respect the office. Fine , you disagree with his performance but to say he doesn't respect the office is ridiculous.
As a republican, this is one of my favourite Obama speeches. The patriotism is strong here
I love how he says before
❤God bless our Navy Seals
The Marine that had half his face blown off didnt pop a smug look to the crowd at his reception 6:50, full respect anyway, 100%.
Wow! He's from Grand Rapids, Ohio!
I've been in Grand Rapids plenty of times.
The best military in the world always will be no proof needed anymore. The land of the free!
I have never been an Obama supporter, however, I greatly admire his recognition of our heroes.
RIP CPO Nic Cheque. Until Valhalla,
The medal of honour, as with the Victoria cross (UK) are not given lightly. Anyone who earns one has gone way way way way way above what is expected.
To: Every Operator , Thank you and your family's for being the true American gangsters .
In the UK and you are in the SAS or SBS and you are awarded a medal. Its not beamed across the nation, their names and faces remain unknown.
Obama was never my choice, but I must admit that he has an engaging manner that is sorely lacking among my side. He is a likeable sort and he is well spoken, I only wish that he could see things from our side.
Imagine trump speaking at this ceremony - he would make it about him, showing no humility, or genuine appreciation, all while mangling at least a half dozen words.
He wears that medal for all those who sacraficed there lives and limb
To bad we couldn't send some of these UA-cam warriors into that house .
well there are so many of them they'd win by sheer numbers, 100,000:1
This is when we had a president who could talk
He was incredibly racist and hated our police, but hey he's charismatic.
@@beansmcdonough1782 I will see you very soon. I acquired your IP MR WHITE REASH
Go SEALS!
❤️
Whom ever farted at 12:28 into the clip, YOUR FIRED !!
Secret Service was too good to pass up. However I love seeing this.
Do you think he’s one of the seal who rescued Jessica Buchanan in somalia or different team?
Who the hell left their phone on???
I like to believe that nothing could ever neutralize the diverse adversity of loyal Americans.
wonder if Senior Chief Byers is retiring after this medal of honor thing? if the members of the seal teams are kept secret/classified, his location and family location is compromised, if he's still active.
I was just thinking the same thing. But I think he's retired. Otherwise this was a stupid ceremony! ( Not his award, he definitely deserves it) but now his face is known. So yeah I think he's retired or medically discharged with full benefits ( I know damn good and well he definitely deserves that! All of our veterans deserve that!)
@@krystalgreenwell4482 42 yrs ago they didnt think that. anyone who says "thank you for your service" will get the 3rd finger response from me. 42 yrs ago it would of been appreciated, now, its a worthless gesture.
@@dennismckown4951 I agree 💯 I especially HATE the way our military is treated like today, I don't care where the money comes from but everyone that has served past, present and future should NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER BE HOMELESS !!!!!!!
@@dennismckown4951 and further more if my hard earned taxes can go to funding a war (Ukraine/Russia) then they can damn well go to taking care of our own! You know the ones who have and are making the sacrifices so we can keep electing lying politicians every 4 years, the ones who keep our illusions of freedom free and so on. I could go on for hours. I think they signed up for the right reasons, but the commander in chief is just using them as puppets
Retired at 41 years old with $50,000/yr pension plus amazing benefits and a CMOH. I pray he has a happy future with the 40 years of life ahead of him.
Politics aside , I thought Obama was a good man.
All the books and podcasts the former seals have say different.
MERICA!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸✝️🙏🏼
I can feel free myself wich i told you. Game hi yahi tha paida hote hi. Indirectly question araise hota hai. Human nature is me badal gya hai. Credit sir.
What an absolute Gentleman. I feel so sorry for Americans right now. Maybe one day another Gentleman will step forward and lead you again.
Dont feel sorry for us! Holy cow, I would rather have a president that is for our country and not one that favored the enemy like Obama did! I dont much care for trumps personality, we just want a president that is on our side.
Thousands of protesters in Paris and London the last few weeks have chanted we want Trump by the thousands, Trump has a higher approval rating than Obama did at this point in his term.
@@chrisapattee all these trolls say they don't like Trump. What's more they think video of recognition of a hero is a proper place to do it. Then they smear Obama. Amusing.
@@DalonCole that was funnier than Monty Python.
Excuse me I'll be over here ignoring your nonsense and wishing the best for all the medal of honor winners.
Awesome to see! Good job to this American Hero and our beloved President Obama!
I enjoyed that speech until I realized it was being read. I loved his speaking ability despite being against most of the things he ever said.
16:23 "He then tackled another adult male..." Chief Byers starts to crack up (the corners of his mouth begin to twitch), and he almost loses it, lol.
@merch marine its cute that you speak without thinking. You should try it sometime.
@@alexgulino335 Dude shut up he’s just making a comment quit acting like a gate keeper
What a difference between Obama and the orange head guy.
Its crazy Charlie Sheen of all people had inspired many of todays Navy Seals.
