- I wanted to filmed this historical event , so that others could see it Rest In Peace Lance Cpl. Squire "Skip" Wells
Welcoming Lance Cpl Skip Wells back home. Semper Fi!
I shot this video over 75N in Cobb County as this hero was being transported back home. Close to 100 Patriot Guard riders and 20+ police motorcycles lead the procession.
We will never forget the sacrifice that you made, Skip! God Bless America!
"A Delta flight transported Lance Corporal Skip Wells' body to Hartsfield Jackson International Airport early Thursday afternoon.
After a ceremony at the airport, a convoy, including the patriot guard and law enforcement, escorted Wells's body back home to Cobb County. Members of the community lined I-75 waving American flags along the route from the airport to the funeral home. The Wells family says they are thankful for the support from Marines and the community. Visitations are scheduled on Friday from 2-4 p.m. and Saturday from 6-8 p.m. at the Winkenhoffer Funeral Home in Kennesaw. The funeral will take place at 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon First Baptist Church of Woodstock.
All services are open to the public." - Спорт
Having served for 20 years in the military I am always choked up seeing the Patriot Guard and first responders bring home a fallen hero. I question those who disliked this video.
if you live in the USA and gave this a thumbs down, leave.
I'm already halfway out the door.lol... Not only is it a thumbs down. Here's a bird for ya. Lol
@@caseyisadore7952Good. We'll lock the door on your way out. Go be disrespectful to your fellow soldiers in another country.
@@fxdefiancy oh, I am. Ever notice, how every country and government, disrespect its own soldiers?. They don't get help. Lose lawsuits, live on the streets. die alone, trading your spirits soul, because, A . you were drafted, B, had no choice. Why should the receive respect? Because they traded their soul for blind integrity? and a need to belong? And was that the right thing to do... you misaligned. P.s there's a reason the word sold is in soldier
@@caseyisadore7952 They deserve respect because they do and see shit your entitled ass has never even experienced. You take your freedom for granted. Instead of disrespecting people who fight so YOU can be comfortable, take your anger out on the ones who send these young men and women to fight and die. The government. Leave our country with the little dignity you have left, we dont have room for freeloaders. ✌️
my citizenship is NOT determined by a thumbs anything!!! dont forget you bas**** i was spit on at the airport by people in 1973 SO DONT YOU LECTURE ME fool
edit hundreds thousand of veterans resorted to killing themselves to silence you pr**ks and your damn comments over the DECADES! and now you want to thank use when most of them are gone! go cram it......!
Respect from an old man in England
80 years old, retired from US Air Force in 1981. These processions continue to surprise me that each brings tears to my eyes and emotions I never knew I had. RIP Skip Wells.
Thank you for your service, thank you, Sir, appreciation and greeting from the state of Nebraska
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your service and sacrifices for your family and country !!
Thank you for your service man!
My husband and I saw this going in the opposite direction and I said a prayer. We were returning home after his grandmother's funeral. One thing I will say about Southerners is they hold fast to the traditions of respecting the dead. Strangers pulled over for my husband's grandma and it was beyond comforting to the family so may God bless the family and those who stopped for the family.
I am so sorry for your loss
It's truly amazing how many people DIDN'T LIKE THIS. For a young warrior to be honored for paying the ultimate price. Is it really TOO MUCH to express your gratitude for a selfless act by simply taking your finger and acknowledging the sacrifice??
shame on those who disliked video, i live in england and like to pay my respect to Lance Cpl Skip Wells.
Im in Africa and I can tell you this love Americans have for their service men and women is the reason why I know, nomatter what happens to you guys politically particularly with your politicians; your value and pride in your flag and country come second to none!!! RIP To The Service man and I hope we can someday have this much pride in our own countries! 🙏🏾
Speak for your own nation.
Sadly the Democrat party in America is stabbing their own country in the back.
@@alanandconnielast are you butthurt?
God bless you friend for your kindness. And please ignore the remarks of those whose brain is not working as you can see by the remark that is senseless. Unfortunately, they are in every country. We pray for them.
@@gh9111 what a story comment it's about a fallen soldier not yours or any other party affiliation iam a Vietnam veteran and I can't tell what party most of friends and comrades where but some lost their lives and limbs so some sort such as individuals could have the right to day which political
Party. Is the favorite. So damn sad
even though i am not from the USA it does me good to see people respect and honor their servicemen and women in this way.
These same scum bags live in SF and berkeley . They hate our Country.... All my respect to you Sir and a heart felt THANK YOU for your service. I am sorry you had to endure that kind of treatment coming home..God Bless you
True
Sure as hell to find now. Now you got half of Americans that are fascists leftists who get mad when something goes for good for the world
@@ronmurphy2069 No they don't. Can't you leave a beautiful video honoring a fallen soldier free ilof your politics.
@@syedazhar7171 can't you let a video being shown for a fallen hero of OUR military show that honor and leave politics out of it.
Guy in yellow that took off his hat when the hearst passed him respect
He also had a red USMC Flag he didn't salute so he may have had/has a family member in the USMC that there is a show of respect you can only get from the Family of another USMC Family member
Seen it!
Yep, at 4:45. Respect.
No T on the end of hearse
@@stephenmokshefski698 was thinking same thing. All Respect! Great Showing!
My youngest son, a Marine in Afghanistan, was medically discharged with an 80% disability from injuries. His brother also served. and ol' GySgt dad was Vietnam 1968-69 and 1972-73. Retired in 1988. Semper Fi young man.
I try to watch as many of these as I can. my brother was killed in WW II. All there was then was a telegram in the mail.
Best wishes for you son. Hope he's doing better.
Thank you and your family so much with the deepest appreciation from the bottom of our hearts, thank you! (from State of Nebraska)
Thank you for your son's service. The administration right now is goddamn dumber than a sheep. Best wishes, Godspeed.
God bless your sons sacrifices to America and yours for being their mom who had two sons in service to our country. I appreciate the sacrifice of family members whose sons and daughters who give all for our country.
Thank you to all that stopped and paid tribute
I am a Cuban immigrant, a proud American citizen. I love the USA, I love the flag, I love your people, I love your story, I love your heroes. I will always be grateful for the opportunity to live in this great country, "God bless America"
GOOD ! You can stay , but if you see any of those little commies, like emma gonzalez, who are talking BS about America , let us know ! OK !
Fuck you and Fuck Murica. .I.
@@vegassincity702 inspect your car and home on a daily basis.
We are all immigrants brother, welcome, and thanks for doing it the right way!
@@mishaco9196 lambehuevos que vola 😆😆💩💩💩
I'm Canadian. It is this respect that always made me respect my friends from the USA. I know there are different types of people there now. But the real Americans are still there and deserve their respect.
We're both Americans. Different leaders, but that's about it. To me North America should have been one country.
Thank you. ❤
Total respect from Scotland sir
I'm a 43 yr old Marine. Watching the respect for a fellow brother brings a tear to my eye. Rest In Peace devil dog
272 Untouchables you do know there is no such thing as a ex marine
Mr. you are never an X-Marine, ever, ever, ever. :-)
A DEAD COP IS A GOOD COP!
CON SMYTH
This a Marine
Golf Nut Semper Fi....!!
Oh my God i am from Manchester England and i am filling up watching this and i dont even know this soldier , what a turn out for your fallen hero, such fantastic support and appreciation for him, respect to you all.
😅
We in the South show respect will pull over to let a funeral procession pass so proud of Lance Cpl. Squire.
Same in Missouri. Motorists on both sides come to a complete stop until the last vehicle in procession has passed.
Thank you for your service to our country, I am the daughter of a WWII veteran that served his country proud, my father has since passed away, but he was proud of anyone who served our country, I thank you for this proud man who lost his life fighting for his country.
That is deeply touching. I cannot agree with a lot of what is going on in the USA at the moment, but your respect to your servicemen and women is to be applauded . To see one of your own come home to the country he served is very moving.
Thank you. God Bless LCpl. Wells.
My son, also a Lance Corporal, was killed in Iraq. I appreciate the honor and respect.
Semper Fi.
nnnnnie I am so sorry for your loss. I thank your son for his service and I thank you for raising a son that had the character and courage to serve. I owe you both a great debt. Thank you again. May God be with you. Very sincerely, Laurie Burnell, Boise, Idaho. USA.
*****
If you had any honor, you would know that this thread is not about you, me or my son.
*****
Son, you sent yourself into the Navy, or maybe your Momma made you do it. Whatever. Did you think they would send you to work in a Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor?
Again, this thread is about Skip Wells, not you. He apparently served honorably and performed above his pay grade. 'Nuff said.
Semper Fi.
P.S. If you had joined the read-headed step child of the Navy, the Marines, they would have unscrewed your head and shit down your neck. Leave it be.
+nnnnnie OOOHRAH!!!! Two nephews in the Corps. Proud of all our servicemen and thankful for their service and sacrifice.
ARSEQUITECTOSTAR... you will get yours, keep your head up
Now that’s how it should be done honor and respect
As a British Veteran, I REspect this serviceman for his service to his country and its people. God Bless you.
Iam a German Soldier, and this is awesome… it brings tears to my eyes to see this kind of support for your Servicemen’s 😢😢
That’s the reason why I love America.. your support and respect for your soldiers are hilarious ♥️
RIP ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸🇩🇪
Hilarious means hysterical or funny.
might be a translation error but Hysterical in this case would be quite disrespectful in that it means you find the love and respect for these soldiers highly amusing to you
What?
I am brought to tears seeing all the people paying respect to this fine Lance Corporal on his way to rest. Love seeing all the patriot guard members in service as well!
US people have a sense of honor we lost, in France! RIP "Skip", and god bless America and Freedom.
Different countries honor people in different ways, this is just the way we do it
@@yourneighborhoodwierdo8349 Of course you would make a historically inaccurate and ignorant statement. All of Europe honored their war dead in similar fashion. Even American servicemen have honored their fallen as we do our own. Now they have politicized every fallen man who gave all. Give it a rest and learn something about history before spewing ignorance.
@@mustardstain504d6 or.. you can not talk about what you do not know? not one single nation in europe have this nationalistic pride the Us have, the closest would be the british but we all hate them, we celebrate our people in diffrent ways..
@@LadyZeldaia Europe is a communist shithole. We paid for your freedom at the cost of a million American lives. I am a pilot. I'm there often. There are plenty of people who have national pride. It's the 3rd world immigrants and millinials who have never known sacrifice who have no pride or economic understanding of finances.
@@mustardstain504d6 I live in Scotland and here if more than three cop cars are in any one place at the same time they'll lose their windows so fast it's incredible. Stuff like this shown just doesn't work in any other country
As a vet it's proud watching this but breaks your heart
Total Respect from the West Coast of Ireland - Heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Lance Cpl Skip Wells...!
I am a British subject with Italian citizenship... i did my year service here in Italy ... this scene brings a lump to my throat.... I salute you son.... 🇬🇧🇮🇹🇺🇸
Rispetto per le tue parole
What a turn out, i have never seen a funeral procession so big in my life,, apart from a president Ronald Reagan's funeral,, im from the scotland and very very proud to be,, u guys certainty know how to honour your fallen heroes,, that puts the uk to shame, nearly brought a tear to my eyes,, god bless u all, love from scotland
Thank you for your sacrifice devil dog it doesn’t go unnoticed. I lost friends and family in Iraq and I’m lucky I made it home. My heart goes out to your family. All gave some some gave all. Tell Dan daily and chesty puller I say hi and we will meet some day. Semperfi Marine! Thank you to everyone who had a part of this.
First time seeing this. I'm 81, retired Army, Vietnam vet, and damn, I cried when I saw this. I won't say all of our fallen vets deserve a trip down a major highway, but they certainly deserve a lot more respect than most of them get. Rest in peace buddy.
In a way this is for all the Vietnam guys who deserved the same.
thanks to his family allowing us to have him for a time
brought a tear to my eye. Respect from Australia
Been There My Nephew Made The Same Trip & An Honored Procession On Our Completly CLOSED Interstae. .... KIA Iraq 4/11/2004. A Sad Easter Sunday For Us All. God Bless All Fallen Heros & Veterans 🗽
Kayzee God Bless you and your nephew
Indeed, God Bless!
My condolences to you and your family.
Rest easy soldier...God bless u and your family and we are eternally grateful for your service and your sacrifice for our freedoms..this my friends is how you show respect!!!!
I’m really impressed with your comment,if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?
Respectful please not refere to a marine as a soldier.
@@billsanders5067 what? All military serving people are soldiers.
NO ! People serving in the Marine Copps, Navy, Coastard and Air Force are not soldier, and NEVER should be refered as such.
The Patriot Guard Riders! ❤️
It’s really touching how the drivers going south also pulled over to show their respect.
Lance CPL Squire "Skip" Wells, Thanks for your service and may you rest in peace.
Our Flag doesn't fly on the Wind it flies on the last Breath of every HERO that has died DEFENDING this GREAT Nation Rest Easy Sir 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As an Army brat and a very proud American, these never fail to break my heart. To
his family, may God bless and comfort you in the days and years ahead.
A beautiful tribute to Lance Cpl. Wells , Thank You So Very Much for allowing those of us that could not be there to see how a fallen solider should be respected !
David Miller Your very welcome Thanks for Watching! yes very true
Brought tears to my eyes , God bless you Lance Corporal Wells and thank you for your service to our nation (RIP)
Thank you all men and women that have served in the arm forces, god bless you all
thank u for your service , may god hold u in they palm of his hand
There is one thing that gets to me everytime and it’s seeing everyone come together for a fallen hero💙
The ones who really care. I do not want to be "together" with people of this current age.
@@keithsy75 yeah, you're generation spit on returning Vietnam Veterans
This is why I'm damn proud to be an American. Thank you to all the men and women that have served in our Armed Forces.
thank you from me in ireland
So proud to be a US citizen, don't you mean? 🙄The US is NOT all of America, although you all don't think of anyone but yourselves for the most part. And damn proud of what?! Sticking your noses in conflicts where no one wanted you to be involved in? Being so racist and homophobic to this day {2023} that 1 would think it was still the 1900's? That's just for starters. The USA is a disgusting country and I for 1 wouldn't go bragging about the fact you're from there, if I were you. You have a hell of a lot to learn from countries such as mine, Canada. Somewhere 1 can *TRULY* be damn proud of being from!!! Canadian and wouldn't want to live anywhere else.👍💯🌎🎄🏳🌈🐺🍁
As a British Veteran it's Heart-breaking to see but a fitting tribute to one of your National Heroes.
May God Bless them All...
Stand Easy Soldier, You've done your duty..
Rest In Peace
We will Remember You and All your Fallen Brothers and Sisters..
Thank you for your service, it is much appreciated by all Americans
Rest In Peace Brother, This was an awesome example of professionalism, dedication & honour..Thank you all who made Skip's funeral a great celebration! God Bless You All..
RIP Lance Cpl Skip Wells thank you for the sacrifice you've given us, please look after my son Wesley he is with you now.
I'm 66 and this made me cry
Thank you America for all you've done for us in the UK. Much love ❤
i cant express my sorrow and condolence for this fine young marine and his family to keep me and my children safe and to give his life for his team mates his family his country and me and my own you are now a guard at heavens gate you amazing warrior
May he rest in peace...true american hero....thank you for your service...fly high with the angels
Tyler, thank you so much for filming this. Beautiful, just beautiful.
The Patriot Guard Riders and Ontario Police Department did this for my father last November from Ontario California to Riverside National Cemetery. It was beautiful. These will always choke me up. RIP young man 🙏🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thats it why I love Merica. Much Respect! Greets from Germany
Just watched this for the first time. All our hero's deserve the respect of our hearts. For they keep us safe and they never complain. Semper Fi brother
I love the fact that while they only needed the one lane closed, those truckers decided no way....we are shutting this whole fucker down! And God Bless that man at 4:45 who took off his ball cap and held it over his heart. I also want to give a big shout out to the members of the Patriot Guard. Those are where all those bikers came from. When asked to, they will ride in the funeral procession and create a barricade to prevent the Westboro protests if present at any funeral.
Westboro is a psyop. The whole "church" are all related, and they do not serve any God that we know. There is a new 8th circle of hell being constructed for those folks.
people from other lane stop and pay respects. One of reasons America is great.
Seriously this moved me beyond words. I'm tearing up even now as I type. Thank you for sharing this.
My father spent 30 years in the military serving this country.He sacrificed a lot to serve.To all the members of all the branches of the armed forces a heart felt thank you for your service so we can live in peace and safety in this great country. To Lance Cpl. Wells thank you and may God bless you Marine.
Absolutely incredible. Deserves nothing less. R.I.P.
Rest In Peace Lance Cpl. Squire !!! SEMPER FIDELIS!!! from GERMANY!!!! ..best Comrades ever.....!!!
How appropriate that I am sitting here on Veterans Day watching this tribute to this brave soul so I can feel safe in the United States of America. God bless us all, especially the Veterans.
I really respect soldiers' dedications and the great American citizens.....From S. Korea.
Massive respect to you proud Americans. Now that is a home coming! Moved me to tears.
I absolutely love being part of the Patriot Guard. Giving these men and women that served our country the respect they deserve.
God bless from a Canadian. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇲 🇨🇦
puts everything in perspective.... there are so many people finer than I will ever be I am in awe of someone everyday
Here in the UK we stand strong with all of our US brothers and sisters. RIP Sir, we thank you for your brave and dedicated service.
Gone but never forgotten. Thank you all for your service. Rest in peace
May Lcpl Squire "Skip" Wells now R.I.P. Thank you for your service to your great country. From a veteran Royal Engineer of the British Army.
Great to see total respect shown. I'm from England. Remember me and dad fishing a funeral drove past dad dipped his head in respect. Because I was young didn't know what it meant because dad didn't know who was in the coffin. But he said it's saying farewell to an old soldier. If he wore a cap he'd take it off. I still bow my head at any funeral passsing
This video is so impressive, in Germany something like that would be impossible.
R.I.P Lance Cpl. Squire "Skip" Wells, comes from an Afghanistan Veteran from Germany.
We stand side by side!
currently serving, two time Middle East vet (Aus Air Force) - RIP Skip
I served, and this video made me think of all who served before me, and with me, and who will ever serve. I enlisted in the Navy, during Vietnam, to beat the draft. My first orders were to a Destroyer off shore Vietnam. Those orders were changed when my ship was hit by a missile , off the coast of Vietnam. I ended up serving in the Mediterranean off the coast of the Middle East, in the Black September operations. Thank You Veterans, for serving. God Bless you all.... "Old Navy 1969 to 73".
This gives me chills Thank you for you’re service
My Condolences for the family that lost a loved one
So schlimm wie der Verlust eines Menschen ist, das Volk hat Seele und Anstand für den Gefallenen.
These videos always remind me that I still have some humanity. They break my heart and leave me choked up, but not with the heartbreak these families suffer. Four of my sons served our country, three of whom went off to war. I was lucky that I didn't need to face this tragedy. This type of thing always weighed on my heart for the better part of seventeen years as our endless wars went on. It is a beautiful thing to see when so many others salute this Marine. I am afraid that many have forgotten the sacrifices the best our country has to offer have made.
VERY IMPRESSIVE ! AMERICA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD…..THIS IS HOW THEY HONOR THEIR FALLEN SOLDIERS….love from Manila ….THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE Lance Cpl. Squire " SKIP " Wells……your service don't end serving your beloved Country, but you also served the Whole World fighting the evil forces .
Thank you for your service Lance Cpl. Wells. Rest in Peace now. We have the watch from here. Semper Fi Marine!
Thank you to all those who showed the upmost respect and solidarity. We need more of this in our country.
Semper Fi and Rest in Peace from a Retired Navy Corpsman
thank you for serving
Bob Sit ......I never did get to say thank you to the Corpsman who saved my life in Vietnam, I had an urgent MediVac to the Philippines Brain Trauma Center............. THANK YOU TO ALL THE BRAVE CORPSMEN .....3rd MarDiv 1969 SemperFi brother!!
Total and utter respect from a wife who lost her Australian Army Engineer husband in 2019. Bless you all.
From an old soldier to a fallen Marine. Meet you on the green.
THANK YOU -for the documentation
“A service man/veteran is someone who, at one point in their life wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America,” for an amount up to and including their life.”

This was awesome!!! Well deserved procession. Thank you for keeping my family safe and my unending thank you for your sacrifice.
Quite different than the show at the Grammy or Emmy awards!!! ..and we still have to question which people truly love this country?
Thank You so much for your service to our country! God Bless!!!
God Speed. The United States is in your gratitude. 1st CAV 2/8
Makes me cry in shame for what this country has become. If you cannot love this Country .....please leave. This Brave Marine gave His all for YOU.
“A hero is somebody who voluntarily walks into the unknown.” --Tom Hanks --
This is absolutely incredible. Beautiful and so very sad. God bless you Skip. God bless each and every man or woman in uniform. Thank you to you all. True heroes.
That was amazing to watch and brought tears to my eyes. RIP and thank you for your service!
As the hearse passed, the man on the left in the yellow polo shirt removed his hat and put it over his heart. What a touching gesture of respect! Obviously a vet.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!! YOU ARE OUR HEROES!!! R.I.P BROTHER!!!!! I SERVED MY TIME AS A GREEN BERET BUT YOU GAVE YOUR LIFE FOR OUR FREEDOM!!!! YOU HAVE MY RESPECT!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! GOD BLESS & FAMILY!!!!!
Uns
..,
Amazing support for those that risk, and unfortunately give their lives to keep us safe. Heros all
this should be done for every fallen solider
It is . If the families want it .
facom pat Marine, not soldier.
Instead of forbidding picture taking or meeting planes to transfer caskets this shows respect. It makes their sacrifices real, tangible. Maybe I'm wrong but this shows appreciation and support for family, friends, fellow marines. Not allowing it under Cheney/Bush was sad and not what many Americans wanted,
That's a lot of resources wasted for just one person
@@kaylamitchell1982 What resource? Funny you think this is a waste and yet you have no problem on what the politicians get after they are out of office and still collecting our money. This is NOT a waste. If you think this is a waste then why not pick up a rifle and join us on the battlefield otherwise I advise you to keep your mouth shut if you have nothing nice to say.
May God Bless you- THANK YOU for your sacrifice for my freedoms and safety. I will never forget.
Great vid, I just wish we were as patriotic in the UK!
Same
We are, we just do it differently.
We do show respect look at THE SMALL TOWN THAT STOPPED EVERY TIME A FALLEN HERO RETURNED!!
@@marcushough6128 I was at Aldershot in 86 when I was earning my Brit jump wings. This was actually discussed. He mentioned that few men were shown the respect when their remains were returned home like they are in the United States.
