Lots of pictures at link.
Roger all. Can’t imagine how emotional this was for those present.
Hmmmm....This must be a lie....According to many right here, LA/CA is just a rotten place, with nothing but leftist...
Prayers up for the fallen.
And, may God bless those passengers touched by this event.
This old soldier’s eyes are “sweating”.
What a somber but most privileged moment for all on board. God rest this young soldier.
Dammit... I need to replace my monitor again. This blurriness crap has got stop.
We laid to rest an old Marine a few weekends ago. He was 82. He was a Korean War veteran and my grandfather’s best friend in life. I’m not a veteran, nor are most of the members of my family, but when that Marine Corps honor guard, made up of men easily into their 60s and older, marched into that funeral home to honor our fallen family member, I cried like I never have at a funeral.
There’s something incredibly moving about the pageantry and honor among the men and women of our military. To see how they treat their brothers and sisters and to behold the event of a funeral, no matter how morose it may seem, is something truly awe-inspiring and one of the cardinal reasons I am truly proud to call myself an American.

Absolutely wonderful article. Shows that there are still patriotic Americans out there who understand what our servicemen and women are doing and sacrificing their lives for.
Unlike those red bastards in the Red House.
....never fails. I, at one time, had to limit my participation with the PGR.
I attendant a service in Pen Argyle PA for an 18 yr old whose family had already suffered near fatal auto accident for the young mans father and brother just a few weeks before he was returned. Both Dad and Brother arrived at the service in hospital beds in separate ambulances....the Dad requested that he be allowed to follow his son up the steps and through the front doors of the Church. The Riders made it happen...(sobbing all the way)...it never gets easier,nor any less emotional no matter how many missions you do.
for later.
The cost of freedom is......incalculable.
I would write more but I can’t see the screen so well right now.
Bump
Me too

Tears, yes, there are tears here.
Every American needs to ask themselves from time to time, “Am I living a life worthy of their sacrifice?” Many folks are, but as a country, I don’t believe that is the case.
When the video finished playing, I received a phone call. The call was from my 3 granddaughters, ages 7, 10 and 13. They sang Happy Birthday to me. These girls always overwhelm me, but on the tail of watching this video... it really hit.
That fallen soldier sacrificed his life for them, just as others have done before him. I hope this country finds the courage to stand for those who can’t.... and for generations yet unborn.
Thanks for posting.
For anyone who hasn’t seen the movie, “Taking Chance”, see it.
