Flying Home with an "Angel" | Lone Fallen Marine 

Thank you Master Chief, I’m sure it was a very difficult flight. Gods speed and following seas. Semper Fi

Guys why do you call a soldier who has made the supreme sacrifice a fallen soldier? I do not like the word fallen..a soldier never falls..never falters...he rises above everyone else..that's the truth..

I have had the honor of escorting on angel flights couple times...escorting fallen friends home...very humbling....God speed.....

Sgt. "Lamoe", USMC 67 / 71, ChuLai 68. Yes I ate the crayon when done. Purple is my favorite flavor. Never eat the brown or yellow. Those I save for the other branches. Grateful Americans should grateful they have people like us to protect them from people like us Those who serve Only those who've had the courage to insure the freedom of strangers can truly comprehend its meaning and appreciate its value Honor always, those willing to sacrifice their tomorrows for your today Those who wait That day might be today That day you've dreaded That day you learn your loved one is coming home that final time Those of us who served our country insuring the freedom of strangers in had it somewhat easier than those who wait. We knew what was happening. Those who wait can only watch the door and pray that today is not that day. On Veterans and Memorial day be sure to honor those who wait. In so many ways theirs it the greater sacrifice. Those who returned From those whose names are etched on the Wall To those who made it home and now stand tall We say to you who tried to make us feel small FU, It was for you also we answered the call Honor always those who did sacrifice their tomorrows for your today. The little old man on the bench There he sits, that little old man Everyday he sits on the park bench, eyes closed, mumbling to himself. Very few passersby wonder, is he well? Does he need help? No one stops to ask. Most ignore the little old man on the bench, he is of no significance in their lives. There was a time, so long ago, in his new uniform, he stood tall, strong, hale and hearty. There was a time, so long ago, he laid broken on a field far, far from home There was a time, so long ago, his brothers sacrificed to insure "no one gets left behind" There was a time, so long ago, he lay in a hospital with other broken men waiting to go home Today, he sits on the park bench as he does every day Today, he does not need help, he is well, he is not talking in his sleep Today, he pays no attention to those to whom he is of no significance Today, he speaks the names of those who sacrificed their tomorrows so they will not be forgotten. Tomorrow, he will not be sitting on the bench Tomorrow, few will even notice he is not there Tomorrow, there will be one fewer to remember the names of their fallen brothers Tomorrow, the sacrifices of he and his brothers will be forgotten Soon, another young man, in his new uniform, will stand tall, strong, hale and hearty. Soon, he will lie broken on a field in a country far, far from home Soon, others will sacrifice their tomorrows to bring him home Soon, their sacrifices will also be forgotten

God bless you and thank you for your service to our great country.

Fair winds and following seas, Master Chief!

Thank you, Masterchuef! 👍♥🇺🇸😢

Very touching and heartfelt, a great video to help us reflect on the fallen soldiers this Memorial Day

Whish more people would be listening. May God Bless You Always

I choked up at 2:30...just about the same time you did. Well done Master Chief.

Master Chief, thank you for your service. I would like to offer a thought for those who are not often spoken of. Those who must meet the family at any hour of the day, wherever they are, and deliver in person the notification that will change their lives forever. In my time, it was a senior NCO and an officer, and that duty is never forgotten. USAF/ USN ‘72-‘80.

Thank You for your service from the UK God Bless

Thank you for your service.

This was always one of my favorite sea stories❤️

good content man! it was a pleasure playing golf with you guys today!

I am for i am AAM

Not every soldier ,airman,marine,or seaman dies during a war.....i helped to bury 4 soldiers from 2 different car accidents in an 8 day period. They all were given military funeral rites. I parcipitated in all 4. One of them was my best friend. TAPS on a bugle with a flag draped ⚰ is just killer for me. 😢 This is a powerful little story.

Thanks for the tale told RJ. Cheers.

Is the bad music really necessary?
