@American Spartan No, that's not why we stand, but good try hyperpatriot. Kneeling is a constitutional right. I thought you hyperpatriots respected the Constitution. I guess you do only when it's politically helpful.
@American Spartan I served for 12 years no where in the Oath that I took said that everyone must stand for the Anthem, it said to protect and serve the Constitution of the United States, not the United States of Trumplicans
@American Spartan I bet you dont stand for the Anthem when you are watching sports on TV, you are probably sitting your ass on the couch or taking a dump while its being played but you expect others to stand.. Have you heard of the Bill Of Rights? Let me guess only 2A
I was on an airline coming home and had a fallen soldier on our flight. We did not know we had one. The captain of the airline announced about 15 minutes before we landed we had a fallen soldier coming home and for us to remain seated while they took him off the plane. Not one word was spoken by anyone as we approached landing. The airline went towards the hangers where they were to take him. I was seated on that side and saw the honor guards remove the casket. I had tears rolling down my face. The gentleman seated next to me was crying too standing up singing “Amazing Grace.” Soon everyone was sing including the flight attendants. I never knew the name of the soldier, but I felt a need to pray for him and said a prayer for all to hear. Loosing a family member who served is certainly hard. How do I know? I am a sister of a fallen soldier, my brother, who served in Afghanistan.
Jason Reule there’s no place for those words you prick, don’t disrespect her or her family like that, people like you make the world a far worse place than someone with an AK-47 shooting civilians. Show some respect
About time the cancel culture snowflakes realised it will be them going to this obviously upcoming war. Let them go to the fri twines then consider just how damned easy their precious lives were due to these heroes.

@@CJC0017 it was the "snowflakes" that pushed for americans to not be sent to the slaughter for companies to make profit. People like you wanted to send more kids to die.
I wish so too. I didn't agree with the Vietnam conflict but those men are far braver than I could ever wish to be. From one vet to another, thank you for your service and for paving the way for me to be able to serve.
Michael I agree with your statement 100%, but I’m not Vietnam vet lol I’m currently serving in the Air Force, 10 yrs in. I just said that because I heard of all the stuff Vietnam vets went through and it breaks my heart knowing they didn’t get recognition for serving their country even if they didn’t agree with the politics behind it. Thanks for serving!
Thank you to ALL of America's military service people and their families. Also thank you to ALL of our military allies and their families around the world.
@my7571 Its fucking common sense, this just fucking angers me to see a piece of shit like you has the audacity to ask questions like this without thinking.
This brought back so many memories for me as I was also a mom waiting for my Marine son to come out of the belly of a plane. So very painful. My heart goes out to all those who are grieving . Thank you Soldier for your service, and for now keeping heaven all secure.
This reminds me of my father. He got shot 8 times on his mission. They said the bullet hit his face and heart. I was 2year old at the time. I don't know anything about that day when his body returns home. Wish i could have the chance to hear his voice again, cuz i don't have any memory about him. Edit: Thanks a lot for your positive comment. My father indeed a very brave man. The love for his family and his country is amazing. My mom told me, he carried my clothes on his last mission so he can remember me whenever he miss me. Edit: Well, this is to clear some misunderstanding. My father wasn't US soldier. And he died because he was protecting civillian on conflict area in my country. And, it wasn't in US. However, it still piss me off how some people is disrespecting fallen soldier and being rude to their family. It's such a shame
Bill Parker if you were named Bill then your parents never loved you that’s why they placed you for adoption until you realize that you’ve never been adopted and were forced to leave at the age of 18 now no parents and all you do now is sit outside in the hot sun wondering what you will do with your life. And that being a dick on UA-cam congratulations you failure
Oh, were Afghanistan about to drone strike Houston or something? Must have missed when all of the middle east invaded the US during the last 60 years that they have been invaded by these disgusting monsters. And before you say 9/11, that was saudi arabia, you know, the country the US sells a shitload of weapons (to start more wars to kill innocent people and steal their natural resources). Where exactly is the honor in killing innocent people and stealing their resources to make yourself richer? Seems to me like the most evil behavior thinkable. The US deserves to be nuked a thousand times over. Every single US military person is a war criminal and if there was actually any justice in the universe, they would all put a bullet in their brain immidiately.
I’m a full grown 60 year old man. Not even an American. I tear up at the simplest, silliest sensitive things. A tv commercial, even a sad cartoon, and any sort of sad neglected suffering animal. It’s embarrassing, but it lets me know I have compassion. This brought me to tears and it is so heartwarming to see the departing passengers stand for this brave, sacrificing soldiers final return home. A beautiful show of respect. Wars should be fought by the cranky, old, greedy, corrupted men who start it, (who will never see the battlefield), not young boys just beginning their adulthood. Respect from 🇨🇦 and condolences to this 🇺🇸 soldier and his loved ones. 💜🙏
Embarrassing? That is the highest level of empathic intelligence. The world has lost many souls like you, believe me when i say i do not know you but you are a beautiful human being who sees themseleves in others, be it an animal, cartoon or human being. Salute to you sir, and keep on keeping on. Tears never defined a man, bt the heart is what counts.
I love how Americans give respect to the soldiers fighting for their country and the ones who lost their lives fighting for their country. Love from India 🇮🇳
I think it is ridiculous to be honest. But it could be because I am from Brazil and not too long ago we had a military dictatorship that lasted for over 2 decades and was notorious for its repressions, torture and violence. Thus the view we have on the Military here is still negatively influenced by its past.
@@Vinicius-qz5op yeah i get it....but here it's different...we have a very friendly military. But don't underestimate ours cause they r plenty brutal too...we love our military as we know we have them protect our backs while we enjoy our freedom..
@@Vinicius-qz5op Fortunately for us Americans, we, for the most part, keep military and domestic life apart. Rare exceptions where the National Guard step in for peace keeping on the most unrestly nights. We respect our servicemen and women because we can't imagine what they go through on deployment. We wouldn't want to be there ourselves. Much happiness that the oppression has gotten lessened in Brazil and hopes your country prospers. Love from America.
Did your marines also share stolen oil with you from middle east? Or can you share your experiences how you felt when your marines killed innocent in the name of terror?
I am a vet who has been working for an airline for 25 years now. I’ve handled too many of these, unfortunately. No matter what I’m doing that day, if the procession drives by I always stop and give a salute.
I recommend you watch the movie 'Taking Chance', starring Kevin Bacon. The honor they show to the fallen soldier throughout his return home is very touching.
This hit me hard, when my Cousin came back to Rhode Island from his deployment, I was the only one who stood. :( I cannot stop imagining what went through his mind on his final moments.
His loved ones. His battle brothers. A final wish that if only he could have had more time. It's also proof that he loved and was loved in turn. His life might've been cut short, but his presence is still felt even now by his loved ones.
There are just not enough words to say thanks to this brave soldier and their family. It's hard to understand unless you have worn the uniform and done the job. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. RIP brave soldier your job is done. FLY NAVY!!!
I must say America pays such a beautiful and really heartfelt welcome to their fallen heroes it's beautiful yet sad to watch. The fallen soldiers returning home to a hero's welcome and the respect that is given to them is really a beautiful sight.
But what I'm asking myself is why anyone would need to show respect to someone who fought in a conflict the US shouldn't even have been a part of in the first place? They're not fighting for anyone there. While there are missions that require combined action by NATO members or UN members, most US wars and conflicts were not necessary in the first place. You may say it's not the fault of the soldiers and you're right, it isn't, but that doesn't mean anyone has to pay them respect. It's their choice, it's not a defense war, it's not about defending allies, so why is there a need for respect? They didn't fight to protect the own country so... ?! This is a thought most Americans don't seem to be able to have, sadly. The active military and veteran culture makes people asking such questions get harassed and insulted. That is a problem.
@@klamin_original Your assumption that he died in a conflict he shouldn't have been apart of is baseless and frankly irritating. You don't know how he died, or in what country. He could have died from an aircraft accident that wasn't his fault. Don't be disrespectful. If you don't like that these people *chose* to stand and show him respect, then please just go to another video.
@@klamin_original You wrote a whole lot of nothing. Respect the soldiers, whether you agree in the conflict or not. It's called patriotism and pride. Which apparently you and whatever country you're from, lacks.
@@klamin_original As a Marine, I see where you're going with this as you are entitled to your opinion, like everyone else. Respect is given for the life that was lost, no matter the circumstance. At the very least, be respectful of that!
I'm a 75 year old disabled Vietnam veteran and it gladdens my heart to see people being respectful toward our fallen soldiers. It was not so when we came home from Vietnam, but I was not at all prepared for the undeserved levels of scorn, vehemence, and hatred we endured at the hands of our own people. I did not want or expect a heroes welcome--I did expect civility---but it was not to be. God bless you all!
Carpe Diem, My husband received the same welcome when he returned from Kenya where he was in the RAF. He was scorned. People did not want to know. Thankyou for your service x
Amazing. I flew from DFW to Wichita last May and we had a fallen State trooper and his family on board with us. The whole flight stood quietly at the gate as the family came off.
Pakiboy London that’s nice that you have your opinion; however, keep it to yourself since you’re not respectful. I’m a daughter of a veteran who risked his life to keep everyone safe. If you’re a citizen of the States, that solider lost his life for YOU. Most military in other countries are keeping their citizens safe no matter what they believe.
Pakiboy London if I could report your inappropriate foul mouth I would! If you’re a citizen of the States, you’re welcome! The military is keeping you safe to express your horrible feelings! If you had some trauma happen to you with the military, look for help! Don’t take your pain on strangers who have respect for those who put their lives on the line. I love how people who like to express their “disdain” don’t even have their picture on their profile. People like you are cowards. Show your face! Stand behind your words! But no. You’re too coward! Clean up the language and your life! Leave good people alone!
There is a huge, undeniable, genuine respect for Veterans in the USA. I could see it everywhere and all the time while I was visiting. It impressed me deeply. As a civilian, I truly ans greatly appreciate the men and women in uniform for their service. God keep them all safe!
Yes sir, we’re are sad and disrespectful why shouldn’t we when you guys kill our people, throw with bombs, destroy our lives and environment. The only thing you’re right: pray for us !
You left out the fact that your people have been killing each other WITHOUT any foreign help for many more years than we have. Yea?!!!! LOL 😂 Don’t spout off at us til you look in the mirror
This is EXACTLY WHAT should happen when a fallen hero is brought home. EVERYONE should say a prayer and send a silent thank you to that hero for all they have done for this country.
Wrecks&Tech Easy there. It’s not your place to decide who is and isn’t welcome in this country. It’s a free nation, and people are free to express their opinions so long as they don’t impede the freedoms of others. This person chooses to not call this soldier a hero, let him. You’ll never meet him in life, and likely will never interact with him again. Be the bigger man, respect this man’s opinion, even if they don’t align with yours, and go about your day.
Wrecks&Tech Because you’re impeding the rights of others. Again, it’s not your place to decide who is and isn’t welcome. To do so is to impede their rights. However, it is in fact my place as a fellow U.S. citizen and patriot to correct you on the freedoms and ideals of this nation. It’s not impeding your rights because you have no right to dictate who is and isn’t welcome in the first place.
@@plucas9324 Call them what you will. If you can't stomach the word "hero" then "the fallen" will do if it's said with respect. As far as I'm concerned they gave what Lincoln called "the last true measure of devotion". Have you? Have I? I learned many things in my 22yrs in the military, the most important being respect. It's amazing what so few can sacrifice and so many take for granted. The Vietnam era vets came home to a new kind of hell. Today, far too often it's inconvenience and apathy. Many people can't or won't be bothered to offer a moment of silence and just don't care and that's their right. There are many ways to serve your country, just as there are many ways to foul it.
That’s the respect that makes me proud of Houston, showing one of fallen soldier in arms! Thank you For showing that there is still some respect for our fallen heroes
Lil' Elo If you’re replying to the comment on BLM and ANTIFA, their radical views are leading to war between the country (although not true firepower like in a Civil War), these groups especially ANTIFA are controlled by either far-left bozos or crazy anarchists. All they do is loot and are racist to those that don’t follow their ideas, pretty much a commie ideology, follow our ideas or we will be against you.
Kuggie Bear :Let me ask you a fair question was there really an issue of racism in case of george floyd?I admit there is a habit of racism around the country but was it the time for such a revolution do you not think of it as a political agenda just to make people more scared and feel depressed and give a bad impression for the trump administration?This wasn’t really about black lives matter the issue it was about those goons who went in looted every shop in the country and making this chaotic.
Why am I crying, I didn't even know him or her? It just touched something deep inside me as a mother, that that was someone's son or daughter and I felt the hurt.
I love that they stood. Sheer respect towards this fallen Soldier. I was on two flights that were escorting Soldiers home. One in 2015 from Pittsburgh to Atlanta the other in 2018 from Atlanta to Pittsburgh. Each time the Pilot announced when we landed. Everyone was supposed and didn't leave the plane. There was so much respect.
I always admired how patriotic Americans were. In these crazy times lately I see that changing. I sure hope you will find your way back. The way you honor (or honored, see above) your soldiers is to be envied. My dad was a soldier killed in a war for our independence from communism in the 90s in Eastern Europe. So when I see now what’s going on in the states I sure hope y’all will stay strong agains this bs narrative that’s being pushed on you that socialism and communism are great. trust me I know, THEY ARE NOT!!! We buried my dad very fast without the squad being allowed to fire their honoring guns because there was a siege on our town and we had to go hide from the bombings. Sorry for rambling, just wanted to say how I always loved this about America. The honor of soldiers and how when you meet one you’d tell them “thank you for your service”. That’s true patriotism
I’m sorry for your loss, I want to salute to your dad and also wish you the best going forward for you and your family as I know how hard it is to loose a loved one from war. And it is such as shame that there are many American-born citizens who hate on the fallen soldiers who were just doing serving to do what they thought best to protect their home. But luckily, there are still a few of us who kept our ground and stood by our soldiers instead of pushing them away. Thank you for respecting this part of our patriotism.
@@barbarapaz3722 America, gladly, still has the majority supporting our servicemen and women. The unrest and controversy has been about police as of late and once the police go through the ringer of public scrutiny, im sure the military will be next on the chopping block. I sure do hope things get better as well. Salute for your father.
@@SquadDirector The police are being scrutinized for no reason, yes. Because you cannot simply scrutinize an entire group of tens of thousands based on the actions of few. Most controversial cases are easily explained and police duties and procedures are scrutinized by people that have no clue about it at all
The movie “Taking Chance” shows a scene like this where a Marine is brought home. It is very moving and well worth watching. It shows how a fallen service member is brought home and laid to rest.
So glad everyone stood for this fallen soldier, there are still great people who respect our military men and women, who have paid the ultimate price to protect us and their country.....RIP and I thank you for protecting me and my family.....
When I was a kid I was to board a flight to Georgia. When passing a window near the gate I saw a coffin with an american flag on it and burst into tears. I stood there watching, crying with my hand on my heart until he had been taken away by a vehicle. They held our flight until the soldier had gone.
Thank you to all out veterans, both the living and the fallen. Some Americans don't appreciate you good people enough, but having had some military men in my family, I DO! So thanks, and God bless you!
God Bless every Veteran and their families, Americans owe a huge debt of gratitude to each and every one for the freedom we all enjoy. My utmost respect.
GOD does not like people who kill other people. Therefore there is no reason to assume, that GOD loves veterans. Perhaps he will forgive them, but he will not like them!
@@lc3763 Just read the Bible, than you will know, that Jesus does not love people, who kill other people. It is a bad joke to think, beeing a soldier is something that is good.
@@TheTellerwaescher - I do and God also hands us a sword an expects us to use it for justice, to defend the innocent, in truth and righteousness, If you are willing to live in an immoral world then you are immoral. There is alot said in the Bible about this, Moses, etc. Take care,
@@lc3763 As you cite Moses you cite the Old Testament - and the god of the Old Testament differs quite a lot from the god which is described in the New Testament. But this discussion shows, how useless the Bible is to proof anything, as almost everthing can be justified with the Bible. And even without the Bilble it is obvious that fighting and killing is always wrong. To celebrate dead soldiers is just the way to find new soldiers, who sacrifice their lifes for the nothing.
I am crying my eyes out! I can't believe things happening right now. I am heartbroken and my prayers go out to this hero's family and anyone affected by this tragedy. This was beautiful. Thank you for the respect shown!
The one thing that truly leaves me in awe, is this part of our American patriotism. Bless that soldier for their service. But it’s so heartbreaking by the amount of American-born people who hate on and spit at those who truly serve(d) to try and do good for our home and safety. We are at that point where soldiers who volunteered are shown less respect and sympathy than celebrities who do criminal acts. My parents are born in Vietnam, a poor, communist government that hates its own people so they lived through it all. However, they have nothing but the utmost respect and gratitude to those who served when they moved to America for a better life. Imagine their shock when people burned flags freely, and rejecting to stand up to show respect. How cruel that we hate on our own people that volunteered to protect. As a minority born and living in Texas, I hope the U.S. can find it’s patriotism again.
Dino Ridgeway Why bring Trump into this? And why the harsh insults? I never once said I supported him and only stated what I’ve experienced and heard. You are just assuming things about my opinions. You might not have experienced it but I have, there are many Americans who actually blatantly hate American troops and I know just by me talking to people, not through media and propaganda. If anything, it’s the other way around. And the flag burning, yes, it’s uncommon, but I bring it up because it always baffles me, that someone would burn a flag so openly cause it’s very punishable where I’m from. Flag burning to promote your political arguments is just off to me, that’s just how I personally see it. My entire family are immigrants just like many other Americans, we are simply just thankful for a second chance in the U.S and worked hard to make a living and we, personally, show pride in it. Both my grandads served and died in the Viet. War, we are trying to move past that now. I’m just stating what I see about patriotism through my own experience. I don’t want to spout anymore animosity here.

There was a beautiful movie made about the exact protocol that must be followed to bring home a fallen soldier. Kevin Bacon (believe it or not) starred as the colonel who volunteered to bring the soldier home. It's called "Taking Chance." It is so worth a watch.
My step father has been a captain and pilot for American airlines for over 35 years and he says that these events are the hardest and saddest part of his job. Usually every passenger will thank him before departing and it means a lot that he can bring these soldiers home safely.
You don't really believe that do you? I'm not being disrespectful as these soldiers should not die for lie. The USA doesn't invade countries that threaten their freedom, they invade countries that have oil or natural resources they want. How was Iraq or Syria or Lybia going to threaten your freedom in the USA? These kids are dying for oil profits for companies that mainly avoid tax. It needs to stop. The USA spends trillions to make billions for oil companies all because politicians are being bribed.
I understand but most of this kids don’t know and they just join because they want to make a difference and to get somewhere in life, they are poor, and can’t afford college. I agree on what you said.

@American Spartan I served for 12 years no where in the Oath that I took said that everyone must stand for the Anthem, it said to protect and serve the Constitution of the United States, not the United States of Trumplicans
@American Spartan I bet you dont stand for the Anthem when you are watching sports on TV, you are probably sitting your ass on the couch or taking a dump while its being played but you expect others to stand.. Have you heard of the Bill Of Rights? Let me guess only 2A
I was on an airline coming home and had a fallen soldier on our flight. We did not know we had one. The captain of the airline announced about 15 minutes before we landed we had a fallen soldier coming home and for us to remain seated while they took him off the plane. Not one word was spoken by anyone as we approached landing. The airline went towards the hangers where they were to take him. I was seated on that side and saw the honor guards remove the casket. I had tears rolling down my face. The gentleman seated next to me was crying too standing up singing “Amazing Grace.” Soon everyone was sing including the flight attendants. I never knew the name of the soldier, but I felt a need to pray for him and said a prayer for all to hear.
Loosing a family member who served is certainly hard. How do I know? I am a sister of a fallen soldier, my brother, who served in Afghanistan.
God bless you I'm sorry for your loss 💔🥺💔

It’s a shame they didn’t!
I wish so too. I didn't agree with the Vietnam conflict but those men are far braver than I could ever wish to be. From one vet to another, thank you for your service and for paving the way for me to be able to serve.
Hopefully this is a sign we are learning and trying to change.
Michael I agree with your statement 100%, but I’m not Vietnam vet lol I’m currently serving in the Air Force, 10 yrs in. I just said that because I heard of all the stuff Vietnam vets went through and it breaks my heart knowing they didn’t get recognition for serving their country even if they didn’t agree with the politics behind it. Thanks for serving!

This brought back so many memories for me as I was also a mom waiting for my Marine son to come out of the belly of a plane. So very painful. My heart goes out to all those who are grieving . Thank you Soldier for your service, and for now keeping heaven all secure.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice mom.
Sorry for your lass mam. Your son is a wonderful person
So so sorry... God bless your son and God bless you. I can't even begin to imagine how it feels. May he rest in peace and watch over you from Heaven.
May your son rest in peace, I am sure he is standing guard at Heaven's Gates.

The fact that they stood and didn’t say a word said a lot about the respect a lot of people have for our soldiers.
Respect for what? A thug coming back dead after killing civilians and Thier families for oil? Disgusting !
I'd believe that if more soldiers didn't end up on skid row in America, after serving.
As a Ramp Agent for an airline, I’ll say its an honor to be apart of this. Ive seen plenty of these in my 2 years of working

@@shaynemhopkins First, im not sure what you said but your grammar is horrible. 2nd what you said about respect has nothing to do with what I said
This reminds me of my father. He got shot 8 times on his mission. They said the bullet hit his face and heart. I was 2year old at the time. I don't know anything about that day when his body returns home. Wish i could have the chance to hear his voice again, cuz i don't have any memory about him.
Edit: Thanks a lot for your positive comment. My father indeed a very brave man. The love for his family and his country is amazing. My mom told me, he carried my clothes on his last mission so he can remember me whenever he miss me.
Edit: Well, this is to clear some misunderstanding. My father wasn't US soldier. And he died because he was protecting civillian on conflict area in my country. And, it wasn't in US. However, it still piss me off how some people is disrespecting fallen soldier and being rude to their family. It's such a shame
hope your feeling okay man, that must hurt, im sure hes proud of you.
I'm very sorry to hear that. Your father was a very brave man and had huge courage. Sending love to u buddy.
You will see him again. Guaranteed
Sucks for you lol
Bill Parker if you were named Bill then your parents never loved you that’s why they placed you for adoption until you realize that you’ve never been adopted and were forced to leave at the age of 18 now no parents and all you do now is sit outside in the hot sun wondering what you will do with your life. And that being a dick on UA-cam congratulations you failure
This teared me up. A moment when everyone stands up and appreciates a soldier who died for them.
Oh, were Afghanistan about to drone strike Houston or something? Must have missed when all of the middle east invaded the US during the last 60 years that they have been invaded by these disgusting monsters.
And before you say 9/11, that was saudi arabia, you know, the country the US sells a shitload of weapons (to start more wars to kill innocent people and steal their natural resources). Where exactly is the honor in killing innocent people and stealing their resources to make yourself richer? Seems to me like the most evil behavior thinkable.
The US deserves to be nuked a thousand times over. Every single US military person is a war criminal and if there was actually any justice in the universe, they would all put a bullet in their brain immidiately.
I’m a full grown 60 year old man. Not even an American. I tear up at the simplest, silliest sensitive things. A tv commercial, even a sad cartoon, and any sort of sad neglected suffering animal. It’s embarrassing, but it lets me know I have compassion.
This brought me to tears and it is so heartwarming to see the departing passengers stand for this brave, sacrificing soldiers final return home. A beautiful show of respect.
Wars should be fought by the cranky, old, greedy, corrupted men who start it, (who will never see the battlefield), not young boys just beginning their adulthood.
Respect from 🇨🇦 and condolences to this 🇺🇸 soldier and his loved ones. 💜🙏
Embarrassing? That is the highest level of empathic intelligence. The world has lost many souls like you, believe me when i say i do not know you but you are a beautiful human being who sees themseleves in others, be it an animal, cartoon or human being. Salute to you sir, and keep on keeping on. Tears never defined a man, bt the heart is what counts.
It's not embarrassing, it's actually beautiful. Shows what a big heart you have, I'm the same as you. Wishing there was more people like you my friend
same here
They deserve the respect of America🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yeah but like thats a natural emotion. You shouldn't be embarassed or pat yourself on the back for having it.
I love how Americans give respect to the soldiers fighting for their country and the ones who lost their lives fighting for their country.
Love from India 🇮🇳
My friend,we too have that custom in India if you've noticed..
But yes, Americans do have it grand,i too respect for that..
I think it is ridiculous to be honest. But it could be because I am from Brazil and not too long ago we had a military dictatorship that lasted for over 2 decades and was notorious for its repressions, torture and violence. Thus the view we have on the Military here is still negatively influenced by its past.
@@Vinicius-qz5op yeah i get it....but here it's different...we have a very friendly military. But don't underestimate ours cause they r plenty brutal too...we love our military as we know we have them protect our backs while we enjoy our freedom..
@@Vinicius-qz5op Fortunately for us Americans, we, for the most part, keep military and domestic life apart. Rare exceptions where the National Guard step in for peace keeping on the most unrestly nights. We respect our servicemen and women because we can't imagine what they go through on deployment. We wouldn't want to be there ourselves. Much happiness that the oppression has gotten lessened in Brazil and hopes your country prospers. Love from America.
As a mom of two Marines, things like this is always so tough to watch without shedding tears.

This hit me hard, when my Cousin came back to Rhode Island from his deployment, I was the only one who stood. :(
I cannot stop imagining what went through his mind on his final moments.
Lived there for 3 years, in general but definitely north east people are just for themselves, just the culture, sorry about the loss tho
Abdullah Reaves Rhode Island natives would stand but airports are a mess.
I’m from RI and would have been proud to stand for your cousin..I’m so sorry for your loss.
His loved ones. His battle brothers. A final wish that if only he could have had more time.
It's also proof that he loved and was loved in turn. His life might've been cut short, but his presence is still felt even now by his loved ones.
There are just not enough words to say thanks to this brave soldier and their family. It's hard to understand unless you have worn the uniform and done the job. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. RIP brave soldier your job is done. FLY NAVY!!!
Rest In Peace, HERO, and thank you, SIR, for your service to our nation..........
Where did he serve for your nation, if you know tell us.
and thanks for killing innocent people 🇺🇸
I must say America pays such a beautiful and really heartfelt welcome to their fallen heroes it's beautiful yet sad to watch. The fallen soldiers returning home to a hero's welcome and the respect that is given to them is really a beautiful sight.
But what I'm asking myself is why anyone would need to show respect to someone who fought in a conflict the US shouldn't even have been a part of in the first place?
They're not fighting for anyone there.
While there are missions that require combined action by NATO members or UN members, most US wars and conflicts were not necessary in the first place.
You may say it's not the fault of the soldiers and you're right, it isn't, but that doesn't mean anyone has to pay them respect.
It's their choice, it's not a defense war, it's not about defending allies, so why is there a need for respect? They didn't fight to protect the own country so... ?!
This is a thought most Americans don't seem to be able to have, sadly. The active military and veteran culture makes people asking such questions get harassed and insulted. That is a problem.
@@klamin_original Do you live in the US?
@@klamin_original Your assumption that he died in a conflict he shouldn't have been apart of is baseless and frankly irritating.
You don't know how he died, or in what country. He could have died from an aircraft accident that wasn't his fault. Don't be disrespectful. If you don't like that these people *chose* to stand and show him respect, then please just go to another video.
@@klamin_original You wrote a whole lot of nothing. Respect the soldiers, whether you agree in the conflict or not.
It's called patriotism and pride. Which apparently you and whatever country you're from, lacks.
@@klamin_original As a Marine, I see where you're going with this as you are entitled to your opinion, like everyone else. Respect is given for the life that was lost, no matter the circumstance. At the very least, be respectful of that!
I'm a 75 year old disabled Vietnam veteran and it gladdens my heart to see people being respectful toward our fallen soldiers. It was not so when we came home from Vietnam, but I was not at all prepared for the undeserved levels of scorn, vehemence, and hatred we endured at the hands of our own people. I did not want or expect a heroes welcome--I did expect civility---but it was not to be. God bless you all!

I love how the bystanders were standing in the airport, and not a sound could be heard. I had tears. Beautiful to see the respect for that solider.
Pakiboy London that’s nice that you have your opinion; however, keep it to yourself since you’re not respectful. I’m a daughter of a veteran who risked his life to keep everyone safe. If you’re a citizen of the States, that solider lost his life for YOU. Most military in other countries are keeping their citizens safe no matter what they believe.
Pakiboy London if I could report your inappropriate foul mouth I would! If you’re a citizen of the States, you’re welcome! The military is keeping you safe to express your horrible feelings! If you had some trauma happen to you with the military, look for help! Don’t take your pain on strangers who have respect for those who put their lives on the line. I love how people who like to express their “disdain” don’t even have their picture on their profile. People like you are cowards. Show your face! Stand behind your words! But no. You’re too coward! Clean up the language and your life! Leave good people alone!
There is a huge, undeniable, genuine respect for Veterans in the USA. I could see it everywhere and all the time while I was visiting. It impressed me deeply. As a civilian, I truly ans greatly appreciate the men and women in uniform for their service. God keep them all safe!

This is EXACTLY WHAT should happen when a fallen hero is brought home. EVERYONE should say a prayer and send a silent thank you to that hero for all they have done for this country.
Not all dead soldiers, sailors, etc. are heros. Calling them all heros
cheapens the title for those who ARE heros.
Wrecks&Tech Easy there. It’s not your place to decide who is and isn’t welcome in this country. It’s a free nation, and people are free to express their opinions so long as they don’t impede the freedoms of others. This person chooses to not call this soldier a hero, let him. You’ll never meet him in life, and likely will never interact with him again. Be the bigger man, respect this man’s opinion, even if they don’t align with yours, and go about your day.
@Michael G Exactly.
Wrecks&Tech Because you’re impeding the rights of others. Again, it’s not your place to decide who is and isn’t welcome. To do so is to impede their rights. However, it is in fact my place as a fellow U.S. citizen and patriot to correct you on the freedoms and ideals of this nation. It’s not impeding your rights because you have no right to dictate who is and isn’t welcome in the first place.
@@plucas9324 Call them what you will. If you can't stomach the word "hero" then "the fallen" will do if it's said with respect. As far as I'm concerned they gave what Lincoln called "the last true measure of devotion". Have you? Have I? I learned many things in my 22yrs in the military, the most important being respect. It's amazing what so few can sacrifice and so many take for granted. The Vietnam era vets came home to a new kind of hell. Today, far too often it's inconvenience and apathy. Many people can't or won't be bothered to offer a moment of silence and just don't care and that's their right. There are many ways to serve your country, just as there are many ways to foul it.
That’s the respect that makes me proud of Houston, showing one of fallen soldier in arms! Thank you For showing that there is still some respect for our fallen heroes
That made me cry....good to see those people giving him respect he deserves
Giving them the respect they deserve.
I love the patriotism spirit American’s have which even the young generation are awesome at keeping the spirit,Much love and god bless all❤️✌🏻
Which it was enough to stop us from going to war, but I guess patriotism means more than humanity.

If you’re replying to the comment on BLM and ANTIFA, their radical views are leading to war between the country (although not true firepower like in a Civil War), these groups especially ANTIFA are controlled by either far-left bozos or crazy anarchists. All they do is loot and are racist to those that don’t follow their ideas, pretty much a commie ideology, follow our ideas or we will be against you.
Dance Party yep, blm is openly marxist and antifa is ironically enough pretty anarcho-fascist
@Kuggie Bear Yup. Blue Lives Matter sucks!
Kuggie Bear :Let me ask you a fair question was there really an issue of racism in case of george floyd?I admit there is a habit of racism around the country but was it the time for such a revolution do you not think of it as a political agenda just to make people more scared and feel depressed and give a bad impression for the trump administration?This wasn’t really about black lives matter the issue it was about those goons who went in looted every shop in the country and making this chaotic.
Why am I crying, I didn't even know him or her? It just touched something deep inside me as a mother, that that was someone's son or daughter and I felt the hurt.
I love that they stood. Sheer respect towards this fallen Soldier. I was on two flights that were escorting Soldiers home. One in 2015 from Pittsburgh to Atlanta the other in 2018 from Atlanta to Pittsburgh. Each time the Pilot announced when we landed. Everyone was supposed and didn't leave the plane. There was so much respect.
I always admired how patriotic Americans were. In these crazy times lately I see that changing. I sure hope you will find your way back.
The way you honor (or honored, see above) your soldiers is to be envied.
My dad was a soldier killed in a war for our independence from communism in the 90s in Eastern Europe. So when I see now what’s going on in the states I sure hope y’all will stay strong agains this bs narrative that’s being pushed on you that socialism and communism are great. trust me I know, THEY ARE NOT!!!
We buried my dad very fast without the squad being allowed to fire their honoring guns because there was a siege on our town and we had to go hide from the bombings.
Sorry for rambling, just wanted to say how I always loved this about America. The honor of soldiers and how when you meet one you’d tell them “thank you for your service”. That’s true patriotism
I’m sorry for your loss, I want to salute to your dad and also wish you the best going forward for you and your family as I know how hard it is to loose a loved one from war.
And it is such as shame that there are many American-born citizens who hate on the fallen soldiers who were just doing serving to do what they thought best to protect their home. But luckily, there are still a few of us who kept our ground and stood by our soldiers instead of pushing them away. Thank you for respecting this part of our patriotism.

@@lc3763 As you cite Moses you cite the Old Testament - and the god of the Old Testament differs quite a lot from the god which is described in the New Testament. But this discussion shows, how useless the Bible is to proof anything, as almost everthing can be justified with the Bible.

I didn’t knew this since I live in Houston but I love how everyone showed respect in silence.
The one thing that truly leaves me in awe, is this part of our American patriotism. Bless that soldier for their service.
But it’s so heartbreaking by the amount of American-born people who hate on and spit at those who truly serve(d) to try and do good for our home and safety. We are at that point where soldiers who volunteered are shown less respect and sympathy than celebrities who do criminal acts.
My parents are born in Vietnam, a poor, communist government that hates its own people so they lived through it all. However, they have nothing but the utmost respect and gratitude to those who served when they moved to America for a better life. Imagine their shock when people burned flags freely, and rejecting to stand up to show respect. How cruel that we hate on our own people that volunteered to protect. As a minority born and living in Texas, I hope the U.S. can find it’s patriotism again.
Dino Ridgeway Why bring Trump into this? And why the harsh insults? I never once said I supported him and only stated what I’ve experienced and heard. You are just assuming things about my opinions. You might not have experienced it but I have, there are many Americans who actually blatantly hate American troops and I know just by me talking to people, not through media and propaganda. If anything, it’s the other way around. And the flag burning, yes, it’s uncommon, but I bring it up because it always baffles me, that someone would burn a flag so openly cause it’s very punishable where I’m from. Flag burning to promote your political arguments is just off to me, that’s just how I personally see it.
My entire family are immigrants just like many other Americans, we are simply just thankful for a second chance in the U.S and worked hard to make a living and we, personally, show pride in it. Both my grandads served and died in the Viet. War, we are trying to move past that now. I’m just stating what I see about patriotism through my own experience. I don’t want to spout anymore animosity here.

@@sirajshahid1491 You should try to study out of twitter sometimes.
I'm not american, but I acknowledge american soldiers are honorable for fighting terrible groups such as ISIS. They're not only protecting their nation, but also rescuing the population made hostage by the terrorists.
@@oliver4276 I'm sorry, but as far as I know, terrorist groups act based on religious/ideological fundaments, not in order to get revenge against the "despicable and unfair and capitalist US".
You can prove that fact observing that these groups attack not only the US, but other countries as well, and sometimes, their own people. They ain't victims, they're aggressors.
@@oliver4276 I didn't know about that fact, but if it's true, it could've influenced on today's situation for sure, however I don't think it would be the only factor...
Honestly, i watched this a 2nd time. Standing. May God bless this soldier! RIP!
This is why you stand ladies and gentlemen.
The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him (his home)
Asmosis Jones is I respect the people who fought for our country, and say it to all who served but I kneel for change in the justice system that hasn’t happened in 400 years because of someone’s race.
@@jaydenmartin7090 soldiers kneel for their fallen comrades as well. I believe there is a very iconic photo of one soldier kneeling in front of a memorial.
Spicy One i truly agree
Soldier would still be alive if not for the illegal war...
One thing i love about the USA is the respect they have for their fallen. RIP brave soldier
gotta luv all the brown bootlickers in the comments desperately trying to obtain a "white" card
My last year in Army, I was a Casualty Assistance Officer. That experience, which included greeting the body of a young Soldier as he returned home, is forever burned into my memory.
Thank you for your service and for making the ultimate sacrifice 🇺🇸 🇺🇲 🇺🇸
@Fuq Utube Why?
@Fuq Utube Because they fought for our country and was willing to die for it maybe?
@Fuq Utube Many veterans said they are willing to die for the country. They say thank you because they were willing to die for our country and sacrifice their life for our country.
@Fuq Utube But many are willing to die for our country.
Makes it hard for a grown man to hold back tears... these comments.
You show you are a real man when you don’t hold back tears! Real men care!
This sort of reminds me of my grandfather. He’s a Vietnam war veteran and he was lucky enough to survive, and I’m glad he did. After watching this it made me realize how dangerous being in the military could be and I’m glad that I still have my grandpa today, and the respect everyone had!
Sending prayers for his family and loved ones. Thank you for your service.
Love from Scotland 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
Thank you for your service, and sadly, your ultimate sacrifice.
It’s good to see AMERICANS STAND FOR OUR FALLEN!!!.....SO SICK OF PEOPLE THAT DONT GET IT......PROUD TO BE AMERICANS 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.......LETS MAKE THAT A GOOD THING AGAIN!!!!!
he died protecting his country from invasion... oh wait... oh damn, wait... oh no... he didnt... he died invading another country
Kris B ....obviously you are another fuckboy!!!....go back to your mommy’s basement bitch.....GOD BLESS THE 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
How dumb do you have to be to confuse an anthem with a life?
Kneeling at a football game protesting police brutality has nothing to do with soldiers overseas.
@@LB-tc3wj its always sad when a soldier dies, but dont be delusional about it, they didnt die in the US, they died in the middle east stealing oil. you can sugar coat it so that you dont have to feel bad about it though if it makes you feel better.
Kris B lmao....you are a gay boy....probably an only child that was sexually abused by and uncle or boyfriend that is a tough guy that “hates America”because he’s just a fuckboy......I’m not confused about shit!You are......USA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As one who spent 15 Years embedded in the Australian Military, My greatest Respect for this Serviceperson and Condolences to their Family.
@@thetruthk5138 Australian Military Personnel have Served Overseas in any number of Countries where their Professionalism and Military Prowess has been required. Unfortunately their simple Presence has not always deterred others from firing upon them and as a consequence a number of very Brave Australians have sacrificed their lives in the pursuit of peace. Belittling their sacrifice does no one justice.
Not going to lie... 36 year old tough guy from England here with tears literally streaming down my face. RIP sir.
I love how it doesn’t matter what color you are in this video everyone stood up and showed respect to the fallen soldier it really shows were united ✊
Thank you to this soldier for his or her service and the ultimate sacrifice. And thank you to the all of our military for their service
Every time I see something like this I’m reminded of a 19 year old boy who would come home from Camp Pendleton on the weekends when they had liberty ,he was among many that did ,but there was something quite special about this quiet ,unassuming sweet boy .
He would ship put to Vietnam with my brother.they would serve in the same platoon for a few months ,then be separated.
My brother would send the newspaper from where he was serving with the Mia’s and Kia’s ,he circled the name of his buddy the one our family had fallen in love with ,he was listed as a kia.
My mother kept in touch with all my brothers buddies from boot camp,so she wrote to this boys mother ,what came in the mail was a packet of information about his funeral and the letter from his CO, I was 17 at the time ,I’m now 73 and I will never forget what the letter said,the officer told his mother what an excellent Marine he had been and his kind he was ,while on patrol once he picked up a small Vietnamese child while on patrol and carried them for several miles ,he was killed by a sniper while marching one day ,this us what I think of every single time I see one of our military personnel come home in a coffin ,may god bless each and every single person who is now serving and who have served our country.
As someone who doesnt know of any family members dying in war, at least I haven’t met the ones who have because I’m sure I’ve had one die. I bless all who have lost a person close to them from war. And I thank them for their family’s service.
There was a beautiful movie made about the exact protocol that must be followed to bring home a fallen soldier. Kevin Bacon (believe it or not) starred as the colonel who volunteered to bring the soldier home. It's called "Taking Chance." It is so worth a watch.
My step father has been a captain and pilot for American airlines for over 35 years and he says that these events are the hardest and saddest part of his job. Usually every passenger will thank him before departing and it means a lot that he can bring these soldiers home safely.
God bless this soldier for fighting and defending our freedom. RIP.
You don't really believe that do you? I'm not being disrespectful as these soldiers should not die for lie. The USA doesn't invade countries that threaten their freedom, they invade countries that have oil or natural resources they want. How was Iraq or Syria or Lybia going to threaten your freedom in the USA? These kids are dying for oil profits for companies that mainly avoid tax. It needs to stop. The USA spends trillions to make billions for oil companies all because politicians are being bribed.
I understand but most of this kids don’t know and they just join because they want to make a difference and to get somewhere in life, they are poor, and can’t afford college. I agree on what you said.
A young Life sacrified for what ? Not democracy’s day not freedom, that the fairytale they tell us.....
@@AnyoneCanSee I'm sorry but geopolitics isn't just "oil", there isn't oil in Syria, the US doesn't have control over the libyan oil. For each of this countries there is a multitude of reasons, and almost none of them are oil or natural resources (only Iraq).

As much as the fallen soldier will be remembered. The very plane that took him to his resting place in Houston has now been put to rest as well
RIP Fallen Soldier. RIP MD88
Sad to hear the news of both cases...🥺 if it's not an excuse, may I know what happened to the plane?
@@AK-ff1zp retired and sent to scrap
i appreciate the dedication to your craft
Thank you for you Service
As a native Houstonian, I am proud of those in Terminal A who stood out of respect. THIS is the reason why Texas was, is and shall always be a RED STATE. God Bless Texas and God Bless America!
You do know Houston is a blue state right lol?
Having served during Vietnam and losing over 56K soldiers. We never got that respect.
Sir , thank you for your service. Believe me i am the daughter and niece of Vietnam Veterans, my dad was lucky unlike my Uncle who was hit by tomatoes when he came home. You sir have my utmost respect and God Bless you sir.
I’m sorry Vietnam vets weren’t respected. My dad was a ww2 vet so I’ve always loved our country and men and women in uniform. He was in Normandy but he could never talk about it cause he saw a lot of friends killed
Thanks to all the People there at the Airport for showing their Respect for the Fallen. God Bless All of You!
Man when they start walking with the coffin, felt sad but total respect. That’s our soldier
Well said
Have a message for my American brothers, there may be a million problems in your country but the one fantastic thing about you guys is how you honour your fallen with love and pride and dignity. Respect you guys so much for that. love from 🇮🇳
Never served but I have a Dad and Brother who did. Both US Army, Dad Pearl Harbor and Brother Vietnam. If I see a vet young or older I shake their hand and say thank you. My Mom rec a flag when my Dad passed away, it has been with me to KY and NY, it now hangs proudly on my living room wall, an old tattered on draped on my dash,several others around my apartment. Thank you for All who served and serving. God Bless America.
May the Holy Spirit bring comfort to family and friends!
Actually..... Jesus said we should love each other.... not going to war to kill each other.... 😉
Much respect for this fallen soldier and his family... all should Stand and offer a prayer for his sacrifice🇺🇸
Well a sacrifice for what??! I mean no disrespect to his sacrifice... but the cause i mean most likely they have been sent to middle east to steal stuff from people over there, then how can this be justified?
@@Tan99bani r/woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh
tanmoy aj ok we'll pack your bags and move to th Middle East then. If you don't like life in the USA, or don't agree with how they operate as a country.. pack your bags, and leave
tanmoy aj only a complete moron (like you) would make such a ugly and uninformed statement concerning a soldier who gave his life for his country. You must be either un-American or one of those cry babies sitting in mommy’s basement pretending to aspire to being a man, without principals. You have no idea the complexities of war, or enforcing peace in a lawless country, so do us all a huge favor and crawl back under the rock you emerged from.
I'd rather give more to the VA and offer more healthcare to all Americans, including vets.
But conservatives and republicans love their symbolic acts.
If prayer worked, wouldn't need soldiers in the first place.
Me too I love how they all stood call respect thank you. Most of all thank you for being there for me protecting my country..
My Dad and his Brother were WWII veterans- RIP.
They all gave respect thank you
Always hard to see a fellow brother or sister coming home to be paid to rest thank you warrior you rest with God now we got the mission from here God bless your family RESPECT from a fellow Army veteran
Good thing for your militaries, they are being respected. Not like here in the Philippines.
Our country is the greatest nation on Earth BECAUSE of our military.

Gooptroop Goopy you’re a dumbass, go play with fortnite little boy. This videos for adults
Gooptroop Goopy shut up snowflake
@@chrishandsome4267 I've lost close family in pointless middle eastern wars. We dont need to spend $600 billion dollars on our military, MAD doctrine is still effect so no one will want to fight us. Also our attacks on poor middle eastern countries create more terrorists which get more and more funding by our enemys leading to a downward spiral. No man deserves to die in a pointless conflict.
The Navy was in attendance. Most likely a sailor.
Yeah, i was thinking navy seal.
@@jayj7725 Why?
Timothy Hickey no idea how old this video was but says returning from Afghanistan so was probably a boots on ground sailor leaving him to probably be either a seal, eod, corpsman, or maybe swcc
I was also on a Delta flight bringing home a hero. It was my privilege to give up my first class seat to the soldier who was accompanying him home. When we pulled into the gate I could see the family down on the tarmac waiting for their loved one to arrive. Our plane was silent as the casket was unloaded. Then one, a few and suddenly all the passengers were singing God Bless America. The scene in the terminal was the same as this photo. Sometimes Americans get it right!
This is the honor that every fallen soldier deserves.
Welcome home soldier.
