Mortuary Marines - "We take care of our own." 

The pain, the sadness, yet a slight sense of relief and kindness. Kindness does not signify weakness. No truer is that fact than in the mortuary services. Soldiers who go out of their way to see to it that the fallen find their way home truly are a rare and noble breed.

In this case a marine, not a soldier, but that's okay. It's offensive to call a marine a soldier. You can call them service members of the United States Armed Forces if you're referring to all veterans like this fine young marine and gentleman. I'm telling you this so you won't be screamed at or criticized by others on the internet. R.I.P to all who lost they're lives in all branches of the US military and those who can't be with us today. (Hand Salute*) /)(o_o) OOH RAH! Semper Fi!

A. T. OoYeah morning u

Immense personal sense of duty. Well done. You should be proud of yourself

No Doubt!!!

So sorry for your loss. God bless you, your family and your father for all your sacrifices. And God bless our country in these uncertain times.

Even with a fake name son...🤮

@adrian collette but its your kids that voluntarily serve

Talking shit about our armed forces is pathetic....say what you want behind your keyboards but I highly doubt you would say shit to any of these young men or women’s faces....pussies.

Why are you homosexual? The us marine corps are

Just like they took care of squadron 242

Yes. Couldn't have said it better

@Duffelbag Drag Fu^k off. Sadly, the US has turned into yet another corrupt banana republic. I made that comment two years ago (with a different screen name and icon) at a time when I still believed in my country. Now the country is run by a senile old puppet and every three letter department has been weaponized against the American people. You probably don't know that in the so-called "Infrastructure" bill that was just passed, Congress approved the funding and hiring of 87,000 more IRS agents.

@@GoodLifeInSpain Yea but you can’t blame everything on that senile old puppet Donald Trump…can ya?

A great actor indeed

My Great Uncle was at D-Day as an Army Tank Commander, and the Honor Guard that came to his burial was the same. Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force, Coast Guard, they take care of not only their own, but all of us. God bless every warrior hero who serves and has served.

Sheepdog Smokey leave for cape May in two months. Fucking nervous but proud to serve and follow the path so many have set before.

@@travis6694 i respect that move as i was a Soldier too. However, under todays politicians of Any party i would never . Most wars are now "banking ideas". Please also respect that comment. Ive learned this in my 45years. Most All U.S. wars were Not to benefit country NOR COUNTRYMEN✌🌐 . ..id say since ww2. Even w i joined , was another BULLSHIT war. Then again , as Soldiers we cannot pick our fights , nor our leaders . Its a sick sacrifice all the way around. God Bless You and Yours Brother 🇺🇸

DOUBLE ZERO yeah, the coast guard is the route I am going. Coming from a poor family o have the opportunity to get free education and hopefully learning medical so I can take it with me when I get out.

@@travis6694 Cape May is the bomb. When you get your weekend off, go to the Ugly Mug and have 1 for me.

Thank you for your service, we truly appreciate you for that. God bless you and our brothers 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

😞 yes, makes me cry, too. I'm a Marine Mom

OORAH!

SEMPER FIDELIS

They watered the Tree Of Liberty, they should be given all honors for that.

ghostbear200123 SEMPER FI !! 🙋🏻‍♂️

ghostbear200123 *SEMPER FI*

Well said . Semper fi brother.

No longer p

Fidelis?

@@-unbreakeblecow488 Fi is just a short way to write it but yes that is the word. Hince the saying "Semper Fi do or die"

Someone didn't pass their "Spelling for Marines", did they?

Yes, but I think a lot of them are elderly veterans.

@@noorrougelewis6704 I don't think this facility handles elderly vets. Its mission is to prepare the services member's body who have been KIA.

Jane Doh this is strictly active duty

And women

@@noorrougelewis6704 ÷÷

You're right. They only ask one thing of us ... a proper burial .... and it's our job to see to it that they get it. I had had less than 3 hours sleep in as many days when I preached my fathers funeral sermon. By the grace of God, i was given the strength of character to get it done as if I was a well-rested stranger. My father did NOT love me ... but I loved him ... so I got it done.

Informed American that's sad. as a marine i never said i was just in intelligence. my final mos was 0241. and i say that proudly. imagery analyst. oohh raahh.

Informed American 6432! Semper Fidelis!

Numn nuts

Brad Morrison nah nigga. You gonna bring anything good to the table numb nuts

A VERY SPECIAL JOB ..... Done WELL! S/F ALWAYS FAITHFUL👍

Thanks so much for your service to our COUNTRY blessings to yours.never, forgotten ETERNALLY grateful! SHALOM.

R. Mercado I hear it too Brother. Robert Mashburn, Plt 172 PI, July 1972

Along with the body bearers! How do you ever THANK OUR MILITARY FOR ALL THE JOBS THEY DO? I praise them and thank them, but words are never enough for the sacrifices, honor, integrity, love, self-sacrifice, duty, selflessness, among so many other words to describe these men and women in any position they hold!

It looks it..... no fun im sure....but they are good at what they do I'm glad they are there to care for our Marines do well

I’m sure they won’t

No

God bless the USA and the USA military

Respect and honnor god bless the USA

According to Dvids he is now a staff sergeant

I have two very dear friends both marines as well as myself they both worked with me when we were on active duty and my oldest daughter babysat their kids. Their son is currently on active duty to become a warrant officer when he graduated boot camp his mom told "You are my son and now you are my brother" think that says it all. Semper Fi to all my brothers and sisters whether u a marine or not from an old retired Marine MSGT

That was the first movie I saw that showed how the fallen are taken care of. I cried so much and I watch that movie every chance I get. God bless our fallen and those who take such beautiful care of them.

@@lariette856 You have no idea what that was like for me thank you for recognizing that no earthly words to describe when I first saw the very beginning especially the very beginning the rest I knew but the very beginning I remember after 17 years holding on to my wedding ring and holding my stomach and hitting the ground slumped over eyes never left the tv just kept rewinding because tears were in my way I knew but to see it like that was like seeing his things the rest I won't say because I don't think anybody would understand but I will say this my Facebook is public and my daughter is my legacy holder because I'm terminally diagnosed I was supposed to go way before my Marine never did is MOS was 0311 if you knew my sock was in he would have been right there he was eventually wanting to go be a DI at Parris island I pray the microphone is saying everything correctly because I absolutely have to rely on it and I'm proud of my son for doing that cuz he wanted to be near his dad but on my Facebook way at the bottom because I got to where I just couldn't post anymore it was too much I became more of an introvert not on here but definitely there I would just show up every four or five months and just post a bunch of things and be gone because I just didn't know how to handle things anymore and just let God guide me and God told me that was what was best for man it works but if you scroll all the way down there is a 50 cal lab round and I had asked his Marines if anything should happen yank it off of his magazine and somehow break the rules and send it to me and they did and you can even see in the picture the little scratch marks on the side well they're not scratch marks but you could tell it was pulled off of the magazine and one of my fellow retired Marines was like oh my goodness they gave you a lot of round when we get that away from you and it was like I took a war I was like no no no no no and he said no I'm going to take care of it so it's no longer alive round he loves you he would never want a live round near you he has no idea you said this and he has no idea they obliged and did as you said he had to soak it in a solution his friend owns stuff with armory you name it he has it specializes in it and it was soaked in a special solution because the way that it was torn it was too risky to do it the normal way and I have a Facebook picture of it many times over on my wall but it's not at the top it's you go to scroll all the way down but everything's public and my daughter is my legacy holder and I'm very thankful for her for doing that he had passed away on her first day and she gave birth this year on her birthday so celebration of life and wedding anniversarie other birthdays veterans days which are additional memorial days for us even my birthday his birthday our children's birthdays you name it it lands in November and so that was that was really tough for me this year I must say it was probably the hardest birthday I've ever gotten through but I was thankful that I was able to live through another one memory for birthday ball was always somehow scheduled on my birthday miraculously it just always wound up that way and nobody knew I was awkward about my birthday but normal with everybody else's so that especially Hit me hard this year after 17 years I even sleep on a couch and soon my home is a hospice address and I told them I don't need the bed I want my couch that's my bad I still wear my ring there's a plastic thing that they got for me so it will still fit me and I always wear my bracelet there's a special bracelet I wear and a necklace that I wear and it's pretty difficult that those are hard to fit me that's difficult for me I'm finally wasting away after all these years and I don't like how my bracelet won't fit me and it's the metal kind and the little tiny Bible my eyes really can't read it anymore but thankfully I have my childhood Bible and it's huge I don't have many people with me except my pet but she's Heaven sent she's a real sweetheart she's a rescue head but I don't like the word pet my kids they're either serving or they're away healing I just want my grandkids to know me and I told them whatever is easier for them then that's okay cuz I know what it's like to lose a parent and so do they I pray the microphone said everything correctly I'm one of those people that want my grammar perfect .,! I don't like how I don't get that even have that anymore but as alone as I feel I know that God is with me everyday I've even had an out-of-body experience and God allowed me to choice to stay or come home and let me stay a little longer and how bright and how beautiful those angels are is mighty angels and they refer to him as father when they speak to me and will never forget that my ultimate Kevlar my Lord and Savior he even got me through that movie cuz I don't know how you can't watch that movie and not cry no matter who you are but you're the only one that has ever mentioned that to my knowledge to my eyes to my ears and as time goes by you know I sleep a lot it's like come asleep like you don't know morning from evening and I don't like that I want to be awake but when I'm asleep I dream of my family sometimes I sleep with that movie playing on demand believe it or not that's how much of home it feels like to me and I try not to miss a sunset but there's nothing like a sunset in twentynine Palms but thank you for remembering that detail and recognizing that nobody ever mentions that and nobody ever mentions their job I mean for them to do that then to come home and have dinner with their kids and their family God only knows what is going on in their personal lives God bless them my heart really goes out to everybody and I'm thankful I made it through another birthday I'm no longer awkward about my birthday I'm no longer trying to push away November I'm like come back come back come back it's been 17 years society hasn't been able to go 17 seconds without touching their phone or griping about something I've gone 17 years without things by choice and I and I could have easily done that differently but it didn't feel the same for me I could not do it was very grateful for your attention to detail though I really wanted to make that no it deserved to be said there is so much to say but not really always any earthly words to be able to say it sometimes it's just said with a gaze depends on what I have to hear in public or what they may have to hear afterwards in public but don't worry they'll reflect on life whenever I'm through it's not meant to ever hurt Lord knows I know too much about that but nobody knows more about that than Jesus and God is love and I love my Ultimate Kevlar so even though I don't get to see family except maybe once a year if not maybe once every few years my family had me in their fifties so I'm used to elderly and most of them have already crossed over and my siblings were 30 years older than me and were never really in my life but I come from a huge military family they know I don't video chat I want to look like me not what's happening to me so they just call if I'm awake but thank you for recognizing that that means really a lot to me nobody's ever recognized that not even a service member has mentioned that and they could have quietly I never would have said anything I suppose it just depends on the person on the other end of it I guess I'm sorry for his loss but I'm thankful that they kept that in the movie I'm glad that they really showed it in a way that it has not been shown before to the civilian community thankful the country can see God Bless him and his family and thank you again for your attention to detail ✝️💜⏳

@@koraleyaangelica3033 Thank you so much for sharing your story, please take care of yourself.

Good luck have you joined yet?

If you look out for us, the least we can do is look out after you. BTW, Trump won, so the VA is going to start doing its job again soon.

Bolun Liu it was a movie ...not a real quote

Ľøŕď Šâťáņ Jőņëş I did 4 years

Couldn't you try to go back? Too old when you left or you couldnt?

LibertarianUSA1982 We’ve heard that b4. I’ve regretted it and my son regrets it. Anyway you never really got out did you?

And thank God for each and every one of you! Stay safe

Look at it this way: the job has to be done. Who better to do it than a fellow Marine? Who else would you trust with this detail? Who else would sweat the small stuff for a guy they've never met and who is now missing the left half of their head and most of their legs? These guys get the full treatment even if the parts have to be reassembled back into the uniform. They will enter the after life ready for inspection.

bill65761 true!! I can’t imagine the mental and physical toughness these men and women must have to do their fallen brothers and sisters this honor!! Thankful to ALL MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVE IN ANY CAPACITY!!!

Surely they can't let you hold that position too long, or ridiculously long. Inevitably it will take a toll indeed.

A great movie

#Gary Fernandez, a very powerful movie. I've watched it twice and it still moves me. My 4th oldest grandson is a Marine and I'm so proud of him. Semper Fi. Go Devil Dogs!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Semper Fidelis

Somebody call God to do his job himself please

It's for all

No disrespect, but maybe you should enjoy the present. If your father is still alive and into his 70s then enjoy your time with him, he's not going anywhere yet, unless he is sick.His mortuary attire should be the least of your worries now. Enjoy the present, enjoy your father's company.

No disrespect intended, but I think he knows the situation better than you do. Don't tell him not to worry, when what he is doing is preparing. Someone who is prepared doesn't have to worry.

juanchoja my dad's currently 74 years old and is doing very well. no bald spots and he still flys every week to go to work. he's only here for 4 out of 7 days of the week

Kim Cook it's for war
