21 Gun Salute for Cadet Williams
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 янв 2012
- Cadet 2nd Class Stephen E. Williams, assigned to Cadet Squadron 20, was killed in a one-car crash on campus. Williams was a systems engineering management major and a manager for the academy football team. It is unknown whether Williams was performing any duties related to either of those roles when the crash occurred.
Brig. Gen. Richard Clark, the academy's Commandant of Cadets, said in a statement released Tuesday that Williams' death was "a tragic loss" for the Air Force Academy family.
"We ask everyone to please keep Stephen's family, friends and wingmen in your thoughts and prayers," Clark said.

Most professional and executed 21 gun salute I've ever seen
Anyone who dislikes this has no soul whatsoever. RIP Cadet 2nd Class Williams.
This is a 3 rifle volley (which is, despite the name, possible with 3-7 rifles). A 21 gun salute is actually done by a battery of artillery pieces, and only used for heads of state.
that's a tribute to the fallen soldier. rest in peace
Fallen CADET
Thank you for keeping the video up all these years. I'm sure it's painful even though time has passed, but this has ended up on all my "america" and "patriotic" playlists. It symbolizes more than just the loss experienced in the moment. The salute and taps are a required part of the celebration of the freedom and life that we have. That which is good is built atop that which was lost. It's impossible to understand the freedoms we have now, imperfect though they may be, without also understanding the cost it took to get here.
RIP Cadet 2nd class Williams. From Cadet Warrant Officer 1 Lee. UK ACF
Old video, but I still must say R.I.P. to Cadet Williams, a fellow airman, from B.C. Canada, Sgt. Nik N.
May he never be forgotten he may had not a chance to see the battlefield but may he be remembered for his willingness to join one of the armed branches of the United States military
Thank you for your service and sacrifice. sorry for your loss.
with all respect for a fallen warrior I'm saluting you all
Who ever is the first cadet i wanna say James....Jesus Christ cadet get on time with the others this is fucking important

I must ask, why is it that whenever I hear American drill commands given, the precautionary is rather long and I can't pick up any of what they're saying. It sounds like they're giving commands drunk.
Someone enlighten me please!
Short answer - Command voice (command presence)
Slightly longer answer - Its the way that commands are taught to be spoken, even though they're actual words on paper. Its full of subtle cues the ending the word with a 'P' sound for a sharp movement, and rolling the end for a longer one. I could go on, but I'm too lazy to type that much out.
Thanks!
Yep. However the CO of this flight does not sound like everyone else normally the command presence aspect is spot on.
Can't we agree to disagree?
Stop arguing over what the proper termanology is an pay tribute to the loss of a young airman.
The bickering on this video is a disgrace to his name and to all others respected in this historic military tradition

My bad...though the video title is wrong then:)
are those m14s or m1 garands with mags?
+Elite Tanker M14
Elite Tanker an M14 is essentially an m1 garand with a detachable magazine equipped. Next closest thing would be an M1 carbine.
Dod they fire live ammunition?
Ohloveeh blanks
Rip Roblox
Wrong... It's signifies going back to battle from the civil war.

M14 bolt action rifles
Reaper25 The M-14 IS NOT a bolt action rifle! It is semi-automatic. A semi-auto rifle cannot cycle a blank cartridge ( unless a blank adapter is used), so the bolt/charging handle is manually used to eject the fired cartridge and chamber the next one.

@@ronaldrobertson2332 Oh my god this explains so much lmao
My adin t
got scared wen he heard the guns
A 21 gun salut can be 21 single shots by artillary or three shots by 7 rifles. 7×3=21..
Austen it wasn't a 21 gun salute
Wrong ... wrong ... wrong ... Firing parties do NOT fire 21 gun salutes ... they fire 3 volleys....

Only former and current presidents get 21 gun salute. This is 7 guns x3 volleys totally different
@@ViolatorZ06 it really doesn't matter what anyone calls it this is a tribute to a fallen soldier
