The Haku sendoff brings as many tears to my eyes as the playing of Taps for a US military funeral. Mstrdiver - US Army - 1973 to 1995 Beannaich Dia na h-Albannaich anns a ’Ghàidhlig! ~~ Seas gu cinnteach
NZ Military Forces might be small, but they carry themselves with the dignity, passion and integrity of soldiers long gone. The sight of a Lemon Squeezer still brings a tear to my eye.
Never single occasion that these send offs don’t make me sob. As a British veteran from a long line of veterans, I believe that all fallen warrior should be sung to their grave. It’s what cultures have always done and it’s good to see it still carried out in some places. I don’t know you, but I know of you by the the respect of your brothers. Take your rightful place in the hall of the fallen. I’ll meet you there.
My god....!! That extracted tears of respect from me. I really really felt that inside my soul. What a great way to send a warrior on his way. Big respect, from a humble UK Veteran.
I just wish I could express how beautiful and moving I found this. It reaches deep inside you and just touches your heart. The love and respect they all showed for their brother in arms. Beautiful. Just absolutely beautiful. Now.. I need to go get a Kleenex. 😭🤧
Buckey I don't know you personally, much respect & love to you & your whanau, for your duty as soilder & protecting our country, Nga mihi nui i te Toa O Tumutaenga
The march the pallbearers did was exactly the same as the bearers who carried Queen Elizabeth II. It's nice to know our soldiers get that respect too. Aroha ❤
Very impressive, much respect to the deceased, our warrior brothers Pakeha and all do us proud , a small nation Aoetearoa NZ full of warriors to this day.
E kore rātou e kaumātuatia Pēnei i a tātou kua mahue nei E kore hoki rātou e ngoikore Ahakoa pehea i ngā āhuatanga o te wā I te hekenga atu o te rā Tae noa ki te aranga mai i te ata Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou. :They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, We will remember them We will remember them.
Это огромный выброс энергии человека и не одного а массы людей... Я ПОСМОТРЕЛА МНОГО ВИДЕО И СВАДЬБУ И ПОХОРОНЫ И СПОРТ, ГЛАЗА РАЗНЫЕ, ИАК, ЧТО МОЖНО СЮДА ПОЛОЖИТЬ ЛЮБОЙ СМЫСЛ...
This is a strong send off for a brother in arms. It is incredible. I will be sending off my brother this week from a illness. Best wishes to the family of the fallen.
Oh, how I wish that when my brother U.S. Marines were down there during WWII they had adopted this amazing, and intense way of sending our warriors HOME! It would have been such an amazing and heart building thing for us young Recruits at San Diego or Paris Island to learn these chants, and what they meant for the journey a fallen warrior needed to hear! Sometimes people have this idea that "primitive people" don't know how to show faith, and devotion to the God that lives and breathes, and works to make them human...but I have found that this is not true. People know how to worship GOD, in His 1,000 different faces, and in 10,000 different ways of faith. By the way....God bless you all. Reverend M.A. Lauer.
Those are Myths my mate. All will be judged in the end and we are without excuse best believe that. There’s only one of two places my mate and that so called place “Valhalla” ain’t one of them💯
I really wish the Haka tradition would spread around the world. Or maybe I was just born in the wrong country. Such a beautiful expression of raw and genuine Humanity.

Love prayers to all from Truro Cornwall UK
That shit is sooooo wicked!! I would honestly run away if I would encounter someone doing that ready to fight me. I would be like nope amigo not today adios!!
A very moving tribute. However, I noticed that the female soldier on the left side of the screen, whilst the Haka was being performed, was not bending knees and remained standing for most of the ceremony. Is there a reason for this.
You'll notice that all women in this haka are standing in parts, they have different protocols than men when it comes to haka, they also do not pūkana with the protruding tongue, they frown the mouth and widen and roll the eyes. Kia ora
A military designation for a soldier that shoots from a big gun or cannon. I was a Bombardier in Anti-Aircraft which is similar to an Infantry Corporal.
