That's pretty cool that Sam Elliott was reading this considering he played Basil Plumley in We Were Soldiers and then had the real one and Hal Moore sprinkling the soil from Ia Drang.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HHOOAAHH !!!!!!!!!!! OORRAAHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HHOOYYAAHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE SERVED & ESPECIALLY TO THOSE "IN COUNTRY" & RIP TO ALL WHO HAVE MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SAM ELLIOTT FOR YOUR NARRATING THIS CEREMONY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As an Infantryman and former Drill SGT at Ft Benning, it does my soul good to see this dedication. Good Bless our Infantrymen and of course Sam Elliot.
Being a U.S Infantryman from 2012 to 2015, I have never felt more proud to be part of something bigger than my own self. In a words of a veteran from Enduring Freedom I met in the ABQ VA: "It is not our job to please the nation, It is our job to defend her."
In the end it always came down to Infantrymen like yourself to do the Final & Bloody work that Solidified the Ultimate Victory. To you and all the 11Boos, I offer my Gratitude and Endless Respect "Charlie Mike" Sir
This was an exceptional ceremony that pays tribute to all those that served our nation. I am a proud 1970 graduate of 63d Company, 6th Student Brigade, Infantry Officer Candidate School. Retired 1998.
I recently saw a saying that may be old, or new. No idea who officially said it, but I liked it. "98% of Americans will wake up and enjoy Freedom, 2% will wake up and Defend it." Proud to be a former member of the 2%!
The Infantry Museum is a national treasure. So is Sam Elliott... his honor for our nation and the common soldier are audible. I doubt that he would be presenting at this ceremony if General Moore and CSM Plumley did not have considerable personal respect for him. Two of the finest combat leaders our military had ever known. They now belong to the ages. I will never forget the million pushups I did at Ft Benning during Basic, AIT and Airborne School. I will also never forget our drill sergeant, SSG Walter Hayes. May God bless those currently serving at this time. 2/327th INF, 101st Abn Div (No Slack) 1/19th SFG (UTARNG)
Lest We Ever Forget the Men like your Brother who fought and Died in that Awful War. Their names on that Fucking Wall don't do nearly Enough to honor their sacrifice. Nor does it show proper appreciation and Regret for the Grief your family and others like yours Suffered. It somehow Falls Far Short
NO battle has EVER BEEN WON NOR WILL ANY BATTLE BE WON without the front line SOLDIER....He's KNOWN as the INFANTRY....THE QUEEN OF BATTLE...... OUR NATION OWES it's FREEDOM'S and LIBERTIES to HIM who wears the crossed rifles and the many generations that went before him.....GOD BLESS ANERICA.......
I am an American Infantryman , I Served in the 3rd ID, I Will Defend My Nation Against All Enemies Foreign and Domestic to Preserve The Blessings of Freedom that Others Who Sacrificed before Me to Secure, have charged Me to Protect for All American Citizens into the Future Generations! " This We Will Defend!" As The Blessing Bestowed By Our Creator God! " I Am An American Fighting Man! I Serve in The Forces that Guard This Nation, and The American Way of Life! And by My Oath of Allegiance to the Constitution and The Republic for which it stands, I will Remain a Faithful Defender of This Republic That I Love! God Bless The United States of America!
Same here. A tear in the eye and a swell in the heart. The young men and women of this nation have never backed down in defense of our country or our allies. God bless them all.
This was awesome, but not all Infantry blood is spilt during major Wars and conflicts. There was Infantry Blood spilt also in Grenada and Panama and dirt from those places should be on that field of Honor also.

@@bamacopeland4372 you mean where Army infantry are trained. Hence my comment. Are there displays of Marine infantry in the museum? If not, then my comment stands valid.
@@bamacopeland4372 right. But is that museum attempting to declare itself as the “National Infantry Museum”? How can a museum be called “National” if it only includes Army? 👀
@@zeck8541 because it's two different branches of the nations military One being Army the other being Marines. Each job is the same but performed by different branches and also are not trained together. Each one has its own national museum. Because the United States United States infantry is its own entity, United States Marine Corp. Is it's own entity. Both national equal but different.
He did his time in the California National Guard.....does that retract from his service of make him not "an actual Vet"? Thats more than can be said for 99% of the population these days.
Do you even know what a "Weekend Warrior" does? Vietnam there was very few Reserves Unit called up, with the "all-volunteer"" military, Reserves and National Guard units have been called up multiple times. On those weekends they drill, they practice their MOS skills, when they are deployed they are leaning as much as they can within their MOS. This knowledge is brought back and use to educate those that have not deployed. If he served, which he did, then served. He has the requirements to be a veteran and in turn, he is one of my brothers. The next time you run into a Guard or reservist so a little respect, they've earned it.
Sam Elliott is a very patriotic man who honors our service men and women every chance he gets. He attended command Sargent Major Plumley's funeral and honored his family. If you don't think he was good enough . I have one thing to say to you . TAKE A HIKE ASSHOLE.
As a Navy Sailor and with the honor and privilege to have and had several Army relatives serve as well. This makes me so proud. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
Impressive ceremony! The blood of America's sons and daughters has been shed in so many, many places!
Please, never forget their sacrifices.

So moving, I wish I could have been there.
I'm glad that they remembered the Army fought in the Pacific in WWII and included that in this ceremony.

Served in Vietnam with the 173rd Abn.Bde. as a grunt squad leader from 8/66--8/67.
Visited Normandy. Sobering experience. The Brave.

I walked across that field in ‘12
God bless the ones who gave their all!

I know what a woman is and I know what a man is and Sam you epitomize what a man is al😅ng with all infantrymen. True American hero's!
The Sam Elliot on the reading.
I retired in 2011, Fort Benning made me the man today.
Outstanding! Hooah! God bless these United States!

All of a sudden it got damn dusty,
Amen, amen
What about the tankers ? The artillerymen ?
The tankers have one outside of Fort knox and artillery is outside of Fort Sill
I'd like to visit this post.
Shouldn’t it be the “National Army Infantry” museum, since it ignores Marine infantry?
It sits right outside of Fort Benning where the infantry are trained. So it's honoring those infantrymen.
@@bamacopeland4372 you mean where Army infantry are trained. Hence my comment. Are there displays of Marine infantry in the museum? If not, then my comment stands valid.
@@zeck8541 Yes there's one outside of Quantico Virginia
@@bamacopeland4372 right. But is that museum attempting to declare itself as the “National Infantry Museum”? How can a museum be called “National” if it only includes Army? 👀

General Roosevelt took the high ground you say? There’s a big obi wan reference there. Lol
Wouldn't it be more appropriate to have an actual vet narrate, instead of an actor who used to be a "weekend warrior"?
He did his time in the California National Guard.....does that retract from his service of make him not "an actual Vet"? Thats more than can be said for 99% of the population these days.
Shame on you for defaming a serviceman, VietNam Vet and 82nd Airborne Vet.
If you didnt serve you dont get to make fun of a veterans branch of service. Bite your tongue.
Do you even know what a "Weekend Warrior" does? Vietnam there was very few Reserves Unit called up, with the "all-volunteer"" military, Reserves and National Guard units have been called up multiple times.
