Fallen Soldier escorted and flown home to FLA on American Airlines. Honorably greeted by Army personnel, local police, family, and fire department - who showed their respect by showering the plane with 4 powerful streams of water from fire trucks on both sides. (the plane sat under the streaming water for about 5 minutes - edited about 4 minutes out) God Bless the soldier's family and God Bless our Troops! (video taken from inside plane - then out on the tarmac when the fallen soldier is taken from plane)

If not for SOLDIERS we WOULD NOT be FREE like WE ARE

@piperstune 12 лет назад

That the irony of it, this soldier did die so that these small minded people that disliked this can do so......remember WE live in a democracy, we can have the right to think say and act as we please with in the laws of the land and within respect to ordinary social standards. However they thatt voice dilike and are discontent with thier lot we say, we know where your heart lays, and we know your mind.......and we feel sorry for you.

God bless your son and you. Ignore the soulless people who have nothing but insults for our military people. America is truly, truly grateful. Your son is with his comrades and God.

@BunkerGearGal 13 лет назад

I'm thinking a Reservist or National Guard Trooper who was also a full-time cop in his jurisdiction. That would explain this level of greeting. Either way, RIP and thanks for your service.

I was a F/A on this plane & had deadheading pilot tape this w/ my camera. As with all returning fallen soldiers, there was a soldier on board whose job it was to escort his fallen comrade home. The passengers were asked to remain seated until the escort could deplane. Though the plane was late & some people had connections, NO ONE complained. It's nice to know that people have their priorities straight and render respect when they should. God Bless the family and God Bless our Troops!

@BettyBaldock 14 лет назад

I was on this flight.. The captain came on overhead speaker and requested everyone remain seated until one passenger was taken off the plane.. No one but myself knew the reason till they saw the casket..

@breeo13 15 лет назад

That really was beautiful. Monday me and my family will have to go through the same thing. My brother, SPC Norman Cain III, was killed last sunday (03/15/09) while proudly serving his country in Afghanistan. Thank you, for all those that support the troops, and i pray for the safe return of the soldiers still serving over seas.

@HercDriver82 13 лет назад

As a C-130 pilot i have taken some of our Fallen out of theater to meet up with the aircraft that will bring them home. There are few things in this world more sobering than seeing a flag draped casket being set down in your aircraft. We place them as far front as possible, accord them every possible honor, and land as softly as possible. Something I am honored to have done and hope to never have to do again.

@electrogeek77 15 лет назад

My mom and stepdad were on a flight coming home from vacation a couple of years ago, when they discovered that there was a Fallen Soldier being escorted. Everyone on the plane wrote notes of sympathy and appreciation to the soldier's family, which were then hand-delivered to his companion, whom had earlier been upgraded to First Class as an act of appreciation.

Sorry for your loss. Your Son didn't die in vain and will be remembered forever. Thank you for raising such a wonderful young man. Because of Marines like your son, America can sleep at night. I have served for 19 years in the Army and I salute all those that have given the ultimate price. Thank you again for bringing this wonderful young man into the world and allowing him to serve in our beloved Military.

Bambambullies4 I want to thank you for proving for us the power of Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage that each and every Soldier, Marine, Airman, Seaman display and live everyday they put the Uniform on. It takes all these Morals/Values that we live by everyday to continue fighting for YOUR rights to say and think what you wish, that is what we fight for. It does not matter what you think and say because WE will always be here to protect your rights

To all the servicemen u have my respect. the fallen heroes we will always remember you. Thanks for the sacrifice you made to leave all the comforts in your countries and go to foreign land to fight. Only God will pay you back best. We know your families can never forget the good moments you shared together while still alive. But He who is the comforter will give them the strength to cope. Much love to you all...

@futuref22pilot 11 лет назад

All of this for one soldier! Honestly the most amazing thing I've seen in a while. So much appreciation can be seen in this video. I don't usually cry, but this is such a beautiful video. I cried.

@TopDealTravel 11 лет назад

I am deeply impressed and touched. I would be the proudest guy on earth to taxi a fallen hero through a water fountain salutation to the holding position at the gate. This is realy outstanding. Thank you so much for this video. My deepest condolences to all families of every great nation which lost a loved one. May they rest in peace and never be forgotten.

From an old Vietnam vet from Texas, Thank you for doing you sacred duty by keeping our country safe and strong. Without you, our heros, we would have nothing, There is a special place in Heaven for you, rest easy. For you folks who criticize these brave men, please feel free to continue your idiocic rhetoric, courtesy the sacrifices of those you denounce.

@JamesGrimesJr1981 11 лет назад

I am not even going to pretend to know what that is like. However, what I can do is this: Thank you for your service. Being in the Armed Forces is huge. I am a military brat and saw things from an interesting vantage point and still cannot fathom actually being on the front line. God Bless.

Transporting the Bodies of the Fallen Heroes to their Final resting place must be the Hardest Job ever on Earth like the Fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice the drivers of each and every one of those hearse funeral cars are also heroes willing to transport those Fallen Heroes who died protecting our country so we can stay safe and free... God bless America...

Actually, the US Government puts 42% of its yearly budget into Medicare, Welfare, Food Stamps, and Social Security. Military spending is less than 15%. This economics lesson brought to you by Project 17 Productions, and the United States Treasury Department.

@kematthe 12 лет назад

God bless you. We owe you a debt we can never repay. I'm a firm believer that we would have been attacked again had we not taken the battle to them and it's only by God's grace and the bravery of people like your son that we have stayed safe back at home. Thank you for your sacrifice.

@guitarhamster102 13 лет назад

@titanarum666 still, it's a form a sacrifice. Our troops sacrifice their time and often their lives for you and I. If there is to be another attack on US soil, they will defend us. It's a tough job and people who choose to do it should be respected, like how you would respect firemen and (sometimes) policemen lol.

I'm the owner of this video.... thanks to all of you who responded to this most ignorant and unpatriotic comment posted by BratSimpson. After all, it's because of our soldiers that even the most undeserving have their freedom! I contemplated removing BratSimpson's post (and still might) but your positive comments make him look even more silly! Thanks for honoring our troops - both overseas AND stateside!

@ContinuEntertainment 12 лет назад

My brother just got back from Afghanistan a few months ago, and I haven't seen him in 11 years. The thing is he came to visit me before he left in case he didn't make it back. Yeah you're 1997FutureMarine, you probably play MW3 all the time. Just wait until you go over there. I live with my grandpa a retired Major in the Marines and he's a double vet. He reminds me at least once a week that what I play isn't like anything over there. In the game you respawn, in real life you don't.

@orcawhale1975 12 лет назад

Mam Im so sorry for your loss truly, it is men like him that keep such a great legacy for our country. It is men like him that make look at myself and say I am proud that i joined The Marines. And Once I become a Marine I promise I will keep My honor high for the men who gave their lives for the best country in the world.

@ericmharper 13 лет назад

@KoolJay2324 It's not an easy thing, I too had to see my brother be buried as well and I want to thank your brother and you and your family for making the ultimate sacrifice so the rest of us can live the lives we do everyday. We can never say thank you enough.

Again, Thankyou for sharing this personal moment with us!!!!

@cycloneous 13 лет назад

Each time I watch one of these videos about our beloved soldiers, it sends chills down my spine and makes me teary eyed. We have grown so selfish that we have forgotten the sacrifices these brave men and women undertaker to defend not just our freedom, but the freedom of others, to give a voice to those who have been denied that right to have a voice in freedom. God bless the American Soldier!

@InsaneMonk08 12 лет назад

This is so touching, got me teary eyed!! I wonder how those pilots felt stransporting such precious cargo!! Well done Miami!!!!! I was in DFW two years ago waiting for my flight home to NJ and out of nowhere there was a huge applause and cheering, so I walked a few gates down to see what was going on, and it was complete strangers, and some family. greeting soldiers coming home. I thought it was awesome that people do this!!!!

@thecolaratlady 12 лет назад

America is the greatest and I am proud and lucky to be an American. America is Number 1 because of the courage and sacrifices made by such fine citizens for their country and freedom. No words are enough to describe my feelings, and heart-full wishes go to the family of the fallen soldier. This video put me in the scene as if there and to live the moment of this fantastic event of respects offered to the fallen soldier. God bless his family and America.
