- While editing my recent flight video out of the sky club at LAX, something strange happened at the gate where multiple police cars were heading towards the gate. At first I thought an aircraft was being diverted due to unruly passengers but once I saw formal military wear, I immediately realized that it had to be a fallen soldier returning home.
The flight DL520 from New York (JFK) - Los Angeles (LAX) reunited the fallen one with his family and my heart goes out to everyone affected by this loss and the hero received a formal welcome home ceremony from law enforcement and first responders
Make no mistake, we are all here on this planet for a purpose and this young individual proudly served and protected our country and for that I will always hold respect and gratitude!
Rest easy young soldier, thank you for your service and for everyone out there going through stuff, you got this!

I was on a flight from MN and the guy sitting next to me was in uniform. When we landed, he got off first and we all waited on the plane as he went out and met the body of his fallen friend. It was the same ceremony you captured. Sadly, some people on the plane were complaining out loud that they had to wait on the plane for the ceremony. If they only stopped to realize they’d probably be on a train to a prison camp rather than a comfy jet plane if soldiers didn’t fall for their freedom. Sorry to put a negative vibe out there, but people can be completely ignorant more often than not.
Thank you for your service first of all! ❤And second,you are so right! 🙏🇺🇸
People need to realize that “Freedom is not free”… thank you both for your service and I’m sorry for our loss! RIP Soldier 🇺🇸🙏🏼🇺🇸
You're not being negative. You spoke the Truth! ❤
I was on a flight from Seattle to Dallas with a fallen soldier. It was incredibly sad but beautiful. Luckily everyone on the flight was respectful and understanding. There were many tears. Anyone that would seriously complain at that moment should lose their US citizenship. Everything we have is because these men and women fight for our freedoms every single day. Never take that for granted.
@@allisonrobertson2994 I’d be glad to lose mine, sister. No American has ever fought for my freedom, then or now.
As a veteran, I was honored to attend and bear witness to one of these ceremonies. Even after passengers were allowed to disembark from the plane, many remained in their seats respectfully watching thru the windows. What they didn't know, was that this family had waited over 60 years for this moment. You see, my uncle died in a POW camp during the Korean War and was buried in a mass grave. In a joint agreement in the 90's several crates of remains were delivered to Hawaii for possible identification thru DNA analysis. It was my mother and sister who flew to Hawaii to escort my uncle's remains home. I will be forever grateful to the DPAA for their dedication to identifying and returning fallen servicemen and women to their families, and to Delta for their gracious handling of these matters.
My cousin Carl was brought home in 2004 after he died in Korea, 27 November 1950. I didn't gerg to see him brought home, but was glad he made it home at last.
A sailor from about 20 min. Up the road was committed to the Punchbowl May 20. He was killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor, on the Oklahoma. He was ID'd in 2018.
This is what Memorial Day is about. Not barbecues, beaches, a day off of work or parades
What you said is so true that people don't really take recognition with memorial Day is about except drinking barbecue and the beach. I wonder how many people have gone to a veterans hospital to pay respect to veterans or 10 a memorial service on veterans Day at services 🙏
Memorial day started out for CSA only.
Learn your history.
@@user-pm1ds8bm4j USA always invaded another country due to minerals or petrolium. Because it that your sodiers died. Would you agree another country invaded North America to explorer natural research using them companies?
Yes, it is not a time to celebrate, but a time to recognize.
From a veteran of another country’s army, I respectfully salute the fallen soldier. He is back to his home after giving his most precious gift, his life, for his country.
Thank you!🇺🇸
Thank you SergioXYZ for your honoring our veteran! 💖🙏
@Sergioxyz99 from an american veteran, thank you for your service to your country
I’m the widow of an Iraqi War veteran injured in the line of duty. My heart wept for the family as I was looking at this. In fact my tears flowed. That’s a sacrifice never gotten over. My heartfelt condolences to the family of the fallen soldier. 🕊️🇺🇸. And to the person who captured this, thank you for the utmost dignity done in your recording.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
❤❤❤❤❤
😢😢😢
From one vet to another thank u to ur husband look at it like hes the reason I'm alive or many others. And worst part is the Iraq war was BS we need hold these leaders accountable make sure u vote for trump
@noveless My heart felt gratitude for the sacrifice you and your husband have given to your Country. It takes very special people to serve, I'm not one of them but am very appreciative of folks like you and your husband.
Hurts my heart to see this. As a father of a 25 y/o disabled vet, I'm so grateful to still have my son.
Sir, please tell your son/daughter I would like to thank them for their service. They are very much appreciated. I will pray for your family. God bless you.
Yes please tell your son we are very grateful for his service.prayers for you and your son
tell him although he will never meet me I am forever greatful that he gave up his physical health for my freedom
Para vocês americanos saberem que a política de seu país é tentar invadir outro país alegando ser legítimo aquilo para levarem para os Estados Unidos o que não pertence a vocês. Muitas nações não tem a força militar que vocês possuem, mas podem deixar algumas familias americanas de luto.
Just another citizen who watched with deep respect.
As a 28 year Delta employee, thanks for sharing….very proud of how we handle these incredibly sad events. RIP
From this former police officer to you I stand and salute you for your sacrifice. Rest In Peace.
From this Navy veteran to you, my Armed Forces brother, salute. May God bless you, your family and your friends. Thank you for your service. RIP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🫡🫡💙🫡🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸

Classy comment and heart wrenching video..God bless all our vets
Thank you so much for your service. ❤
Thank you for your service!
So glad this soldier was treated with total respect. Very hard to watch... I was crying and have no idea who this soldier is.. RIP .
From a retired army vet to a fellow soldier rest in peace bro be with God and thank you for your sacrifice 🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your service ❤
Thank you for your service!
It is not humanly possible to give these men the respect that they truly deserve
Yes all the colonial expeditions they go on, bringing chaos and problems to the locals. Respect
@@vanfja I can not believe you would disrespect a man who gave everything he had for the freedom of ungrateful people like you.

@@jaycee3974 I am just speaking up for all the brown people we seem to not care about and occupy their countries for fun. I am happy to say bad things about our mercenaries who are not protecting us in any way. The American people have been fooled for so long in thinking our soldiers are actually protecting us from something. Haven’t done anything good since Korea.
@@jaycee3974 I am glad to be a jerk to our mercenaries who are just fighting and invading countries of less valued brown people for our politicians. Our soldiers have not defended anything since Korea. And not defended us since WWII. Now they are just mercenaries. Americans are hated around the world because of our military interventions everywhere, destroying countries and peoples lives.
My salute to Delta airlines, the ground crew and all personnel involved here, your respect is appreciated by the family, the ultimate sacrifice was given to each free American by this fallen soldier, don’t take it for granted America.
While I worked at Delta as a pilot, I will say the way they did this was classy.
Rest Easy Soldier.
Your Duty is Done.
RIP 🇬🇧.
Well put. The words I was looking for.
I cried for this brave soldier. He lost his life fighting for our country and our freedom.
It may be a she. We also serve in the military. I am one of them.
What freedom he fighting for .America is at war.??? Or we go around the globe and make trouble
@@su22-wv3ib Exactly 💯
🤦🏽
@@su22-wv3ibwe come and go as we please 🤷🏽♂️
These videos should be a "must watch" for the young people of this ungrateful and spoiled generation that soldiers like this fight for a give up their lives so that those idiots have the right to act the way they do. I watch these videos often because it's a reminder of just how much I am grateful to those soldiers for fighting for all of us. RIP to this soldier and thank you for your service and ultimate sacrifice.
I cried all the way through thinking the exact same thing. Not all, but so many teens hear about soldiers killed in the line of duty, but it doesn't sink in that a human being, that thousands of human beings gave their life to keep their country free from terror and control. It should be mandatory.
Watching this from BIRMINGHAM ENGLAND. Just like to say what a wonderful tribute to the brave soldier who. Sadly lost their life my deepest respect to the family and friends🙏
I was changing planes at Chicago O’Hare in the early 2000’s and witnessed the arrival of a fallen soldier and it was the most amazing experience to watch the complete professional ground crew handle this very sombering moment in time
RIP soldier, thank you for your service. This old vet was in tears watching this video, this is a sad loss of their life and has my deepest respect to their family and friends. 🙏 God Bless. 🇺🇸 PS, Thank Delta and the employees who hand this event, done well.
Thank you for your service!!! ❤
Thank you for your service
The respect the ground crew is touching. If you haven't watched the movie Taking Chance I would recomend it.
My first thought. I've watched that film numerous times, gonna have to dig it up.
Well done Delta & LAX!
Thank you for recording this ceremony and sharing it. Important for these events to be witnessed.
A fallen hero is finally home. Thank you for your service.
What service? North America was invaded?
Very sad to see yet another young soldier serving our nation, making the ultimate sacrifice. God bless our armed forces and first responders everywhere. That was such a classy job by Delta and the military handling this somber but dignified transportation home of this warriors remains!!
Greatest love is to be willing to lay down your life for your fellow man(country). Salute Salute Salute. R.I.P
He, or she, has given their life for every American. No honor is too much. God bless you and keep you, you did good soldier. 🙏🌹
I learned today that a friend died yesterday from injuries suffered in Ukraine. His wife is working to bring his body back from Germany. I am so grateful for his sacrifice. Ukraine needs our full and unconditional support.
💯
They had a peaceful option. These kids are dying to expand NATO borders for world domination. I hope the kids poor mother thinks that's a good cause
@@oliver9089Putin wants to rebuild the USSR. Don’t be fooled.
I’m so sorry for your loss you all in my prayers
@@oliver9089 wow, I assume you're Russian, thanks for your comment, most don't realize the ignorance of people like you
May this soldier Rest In Peace, thank you for serving our country and giving your life for all we have here in the USA! My condolences to their family and friends.

Very heart breaking to watch this. Respect how all was going on to all people there. May his soul rest in peace and the family with much strength of the loss of the loved one. My best wishes from Switzerland
I wasn’t going to watch this but I thought why not this person gave their life so I can enjoy the freedoms I do This is a way I can show my respect
i hope this warrior found peace.
Amen
Thank you for posting this. God Bless our troops and their families.
I remember pulling funeral detail when I was on Active Duty. We had to receive a soldier to bring the body bact to his hometown in El Paso, Texas. This was one of the most hardest ones I did.
Thank you for posting. Condolences to the Soldier's family.
Thank you for your service sir. god protect and comfort the family
This is heartbreaking Thank you to the solider , the ultimate sacrifice. To the family ,please know our arms are around you to comfort you .
It’s small moments and times such as these that we should always remember… if it weren’t for the bravery of a soldier, we may not be enjoying the freedoms that we have today.😢❤🇺🇸
Thank you for showing Americans this amazing view. Thank you sir for your service mayu rest in peace 😢❤
This is very honorable
Soldiers are heroes. It's time for this country to get back to honoring them for their sacrifices and start teaching the youth of America what it means to protect the homeland
Thank you for posting these sad, poignant scenes as it's always heartbreaking to learn we've lost another hero. Rest easy, soldier.
Thanks for your service to our country. To the fallen serviceman and the escorts.
Final respects, respectfully done. RIP dear soldier and than you for your ultimate sacrifice.
My heartfelt condolences to the family and my deepest gratitude for the service and sacrifice of this soldier. Thank you Delta for bringing him home. 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service. Our freedom is due to your sacrifice.
No, his death has nothing to do with your freedom!
@Christin5554 let me guess. You were born and raised in a free country. So only speak for yourself. Me I appreciate my freedom .
and biden is taking away your freedom! and biden is dissing this man's death.
So sad. Thanks for sharing. I salute him.
USMarine Corp veteran.my sincere condolences for the entire family.
Thank you for your service
Bro.
You were blessed to bear witness to this and to share it. I thought the audio really diminished the solemnity of the occasion, and it would have been better to cut it out altogether. Nice camera work, though, and thank you.
Unfortunately LAX Delta Terminal plays really loud music and it's quite frankly annoying at times but especially moments like this where silence is needed they kept playing music which really ruined the moment....
@@skyeye787 There were brief moments when the audio cut out...which was lovely. Airports are so stressful, the loud music would drive me up the wall.
@@carriedebehnke6209 yea I cut audio especially in places where moments like the casket coming out had extremely loud music playing…. The class is gone from American airports
Thank you for your service, and may your memory be a blessing!
Thank you for sharing, RIP young man
Thank you for sharing this. It’s a stark and much needed reminder that this could have been any one of many of us.
Thank you for sharing this video. Good Bless this fallen military member and their family.
Thank you for sharing. And thank you for your service. RIP sir or ma’am. 😢😢
Thank you for your service and sacrifice! My thoughts and prayers are with your family, friends and your team.
Well done with such respect. Welcome home Soldier may you RIP. My condolences to your family, friends and fellow soldiers.
Much respect, and thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Never use to care to much about this but, after my dad passed, who served in the USAF, I have huge respect.
So Sad And Emotional When This Situation Happens. To The Family Of This Fallen Soldier And Hero My Utmost Thoughts And Prayers Go Out To The Entire Family. To This Fallen Soldier, Thank You For Your Service, You Have Given The Ultimate Sacrifice. Because Of Service Men & Service Women, We Have Freedom To Live The Way We Do.

Rest in Peace. Thank you for your service to our country and protecting our way of life, the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights and those who cannot defend themselves. You will not be forgotten.
Thank you for your service, RIP
This is so sad, my heartfelt thanks to this soldier, my thoughts are with his family. May God Bless him and guide his family in healing. The airport should have shown more respect, this soldier paid the ultimate price for our freedom...respect to the fallen is paramount.
why does everybody say that he died for your freedom? Are you all that brainwashed? He died to fight in countries that don't even respect the US. He would have died for your freedom if he fought at your borders. When do you people wake up.
I watch because it helps me feel my presence was there as well. These are the best the world has to offer for peace. I truly hope this soldier, brought some hope for the rest of us to live on.
Thank you for your service
And U.S. Personnel'Family Serving World Wide We Love You
what a way to start my day. wow #respect #honor
welcome home, little brother. i cry of joy to see you home. i cry of joy as i see you return from where you always wanted to go. i cry of joy for the memories we shared. and it is all those great memories that will forever keep me and make us proud of you and for how you so valiantly defended our freedoms. eternal gratitude to you, and love. rest well and in peace.
thank you lax. thank you delta. thank you SB.
Thank you for your service. RIP my friend.
Thank you so much for posting this. Thoughts and prayers to the family…
My family would always fly Delta. Unfortunately, my ears could not take the going up and coming down, so we traveled by vehicle.😢 I do miss being in the clouds. My Mom was in another state when she passed away, she came “home” on a plane. So I appreciate the airport staff and service members who helped.
Thank you for your service & sacrifice. Rest In Paradise 🙏🙏🙏
Such respect and reverence. Good to see.
I would be so honored to one day be on the same flight that is bringing a young wo/man home to her/his family. Rest well young man and than you for your service and sacrifice. 🫡
My sincerest condolences to the family of this fallen soldier. May he/she rest in peace.
Very sad thanks for your service 😔
My deepest condolences to his family and friends. May God rest his soul in peace! 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🇺🇸
