I too am a retired USAF Veteran. This is just a story, but shows respect for ALL MILITARY VETS. It hasn't always been this way, but it's finally setting in. That's is being a story line is encouraging to those of who served and not respect for our service was given. Now though, older Americans and some younger folks actually born after 9/11 truly are thanking for our service. It's refreshing. Thevothers that are just paying lip service, I hope you actually don't learn the hard way that you are kept free by those of us, both prior service and surrrent service members have kept this country and others free, truly free to follow their own countries' fight to allow them to make their own decisions. My opinion. Thank you all Veterans, current members, and civilian first responders.
AMEN!! I thank anyone wearing a uniform to protect our country or a country needing help to uphold democracy! I an in your debt past and present… not a lot of future left .. time has gone much quicker than I thought possible!!
I wasn't able to serve my country, but I've always held true to the honor deserved by Vets! They don't pay bills when I'm around -unless I just can't afford what they're buying. But never have I failed to thank them verbally!
it’s heartening to see that more people are now expressing gratitude, especially younger generations who didn’t experience the conflicts firsthand. It’s a powerful reminder of how much our freedoms are owed to those who have served, and how important it is to appreciate the sacrifices made by both veterans and active-duty members. Your service, and that of all those who have worn the uniform, truly deserves our respect and thanks every day.
You have my promise.. .. my brothers both were air force VIETNAM, my nephew, Air Force after Nam … the concern is the stories coming from young women being treated very poorly…. It is all sexual accountability not being given any credibility by superior staff… something seems fishy to this old lady.. all of a sudden all the women have been denied ?? Just not buying into their excuses.. too many , too late!!
Thank to our military special forces and thank every military person for your service . Thanking you is a part of my life without you I might not be here . As Lee Greenwood said in his song “God Bless the USA”❤❤❤
@stevenstair1068 no he did not. That was a claim by a General that was anti Trump and he said it to Biden, who perpetuated it. Watch what both do, not just what they say. I watched Trump chase down and return a Marines head cover, he did not have to. I watched Biden check his watch every time a body of one of the 13 soldiers he was responsible for ghosting was wheeled past him....their families noticed as well. Those same families asked Trump to join them on Veterans Day at the resting place of the 13. Biden and Harris had better things to do that day. Harris was only 11 minutes away at the time. I stand with God, America and President Trump! Unapologetically!
My dad and one of his older brothers served in WW2 , one of my best friends served in Vietnam , and one of my schoolmates retired from the Army. I listened to them all, learned from their encounters, and learned what they taught me benefited me later in life. What this story teaches us is true, patience and calm reserve as well as proper thinking (like in chess, thinking 3 moves ahead) , will conquer any wall you encounter. 😊
Especially when just communicating home & disrespectful of our brave men & women who have been through so much to give us all freedom that most people take for granted, personally I wouldn't have had the self control & had to break his arm so to give him a memory that he would never forget!!
Stories like this remind us of the sacrifices our service members make every day. They deserve all the respect for the courage they bring, even in tough situations. Thank you to all who serve!
Thank you, James.. I am so happy for you after all the torture you went through in another country fighting for the people or standing in front of you. I’ve seen the world has gone crazy but you’re the winner God Bless you
Bullying is for chumbs low life . Real men fight for the ones not able to fight for themselves and look to avoid fights. But whenever pushed, they WILL Tear YOU A NEW ONE, and go about their business as usual!!! Whoooyaoo
Reminds me when I came home in St. Joseph, Mo, from the 101st. Airborne for Christmas when a Bully challenged me in a local Bar. I too also knew my Ranger Training Hand to Hand Combat training,
@@neallance7311 I’m sorry but your statement is quite confusing. Wouldn’t your Ranger training have been enough to kick someone else’s butt , not yours???
what an impressive story! The way you kept your cool and used your hand-to-hand combat training to handle the situation is truly admirable. Bullies never realize they're picking a fight with someone who's been through so much like you.
To all past, present, and future service men and women, thanks for keeping us free. It is because of your sacrifices that we still walk freely upon this land. You did not give into fear you all stood bold and proud in the face of unspeakable danger. It's moments like these that give us hope for a more peaceful earth. And unfortunately when that appears to not always be the case l look up and thank God for our rare military personale. For all you do not make it home l find peace in knowing there is a much bigger reward beyond those clouds.
THANK YOU for sharing this amazing story! I’m so proud of our Military! My husband served during the entire VietNam era! Joining and retiring, 1962-1985! My sons also joined the military & retired. Now, our grandson is a Major in the Army who flies the Black Hawk and another, I can’t remember the name, Senior moment! He served a tour in Iraq & Afghanistan.
Very nice Ma'am, ty for sharing. I know you are proud of them and your family is a proud Family Military Tradition now,there's no shame in serving, for it makes us more than what we were, better, smarter stronger, tougher and ready in most occasions 🙏 🫡
I like this kind of story! Respect a man who would give his life for his country and act respectfully for its course! There's nothing like a born gentleman in the military 🪖!!
Thank you all each and every one of you in every branch. of service every where for everything you have done and are doing for America ❤and us all and are still doing thank you

Thank you for sharing this story. from Canada
I thank God for how the soldier stood up against the bikers. I'm very disappointed with the bikers. I'm very thankful for all of the soldiers. It's as I told a veteran I saw in a store I was thankful for him and all the soldiers. Plus, all soldiers and their families are in my prayers.
Air Force Vietnam vet. I had limited hand to hand training, and it amazes me that punks and bullies seem to think picking on old men makes them big. I just give them the warning I'm a vet, trained, and some martial arts. Anything I bring to the table is built in and could turn deadly at any time. It's worked enough to back off and let them stew a while.
Most do not realize that when you join , you have promised no matter the situation you will go and fight and do the job you are trained for, but even more It is I agree to leave my family at s drop of the hat or determined tome frames 6 months or more. My husband retired with a total of 31 years of service. It was a life of not knowing if any day you could be called back up etc. He served in 2 wars ,He missed His Son's Graduation and other fsmily times childrens and wives or husbands birthdays, Wedding Anniversarys etc. There is souch more too!!! Thankyou To All The Service men and Women.@@johnsamuel1725
Followed their leader who has no respect for our servicmen cheap drinking bullys with stupid names, not man enough to have normal names and run in packs the only time they feel tough, pathetic Thank you, James, and your men for your service ❤
Military training saved my life. I am a Vietnam veteran and I retired from the navy in 1995. 2012 I was working sugar beet harvest getting off between 9:00 and 9:30 PM. On the way home I came up with a 10-wheel truck and I looked around it for oncoming traffic, seeing none I started to pass. As I got to the front tandem, in his lights I saw the hood ornament of another truck. Without thinking I used a maneuver I had been taught at boot camp in 1971 and never used in the navy. Hard left until coming to the course I wanted, hard right to stop the turn and then center the steering. I stopped 5 feet off the pavement and the oncoming truck went between me and the truck I was passing. The second truck didn’t have any lights on as far as I saw.
@ I got out of the car, walked to the back and paced from the back bumper to the pavement. Got back in the car and backed onto the road and drove home. I don’t remember an adrenaline dump, maybe because I was looking for problems before I started around the first truck. Maybe because I have had so much combat.
Me and sister-in-law Chris in Mexico City when we visited with Jose Alfredo Jimenez in the 60s. Jose Alfredo took off his cufflinks and gifted them to Joe. We all had a great time. May she rest iCystitis what u think about Trump winn peace. @everyoneCystitis what u think about Trump win
Thanks for telling this story. I was stuck like glue to my tablet. God Bless our service men& women, our policemen & women, our firefighters…those that serve & protect…and God Bless America. No better country in the world to live in. And now that we have our President Trump coming back into office, it will be better than ever. He truly respects & honors those that protect us. God Bless President Trump.
It reminds me after being in the marine corps. Ordering a coffee and a couple guys told me to hurry up. Well I put both down less than a minute. And just walked out. To many bullies out there.
I once drove a bike gang of Marine Vietnam combat veterans out of their house across the street from my first home. The Free Wheelers they called themselves. There was never more than 10 or 12 of them. But they terrorized the neighbors and were driving down the value of my house. I bought my first 3 guns the night it began and because I took a Los Angeles Deputy DA to the gun store owned by a LAPD officer walked out with them instead of waiting 2 weeks, or whatever it was in California in 1976. I got a Bicentennial Mini 14 in that first batch. For the record I did not join the military because God gave me the winning number in the 1970 Draft Lottery for good behavior and being born on November 1, 1952. Plus as an American it bothered me that we would fight a war on the side of the colonial power trying to keep a colony and its wealth for the colonists . Call me old fashioned. I was a Republican by the way and later was involved in the Contra War and afterwards had Wyclif Diego as an employee at my shrimp processing operation in Puerto Cabezas. I am so dump I blocked the street in front if my home with my body to stop a biker from going 70 or 80 up and down it last year. After the yelling died down he apologized and never did it again. Afterwards I was thinking “ what an idiot, I’m in my 70’s now”. He waves when he putts by occasionally.
My 84 year old veteran husband shed tears over this. What our VietNam Vets went through was even worse. It was hard to jut get a job, and men had to hide their military service. That was the 70s, and it was the only time I was ever ashamed of my country. I was so proud to be the wife of an officer and the sister of another. I have sons who have served since. When you treat a veteran badly, you treat an entire family badly. It’s disgusting. James, we know your value and we are grateful for your service. We are fortunate to learn of you and proud of your demeanor and your expertise. We are proud of your service and we care deeply about you and all who serve. Than you.
I was a Viet Nam aviator, trained by a Korean Master Sgt on martial arts. Mostly serious self defense on how to immediately immobilize an opponent, therefore, i choose not to fight unless absolutely necessary.
I lost my husband in 2006, he died from cancer caused by his exposure to many harmful chemicals on his job. He worked designing and building Defensive weapons to protect America. He worked very hard, he earned 3 college degrees and devoted 43 years to protecting our country. He wanted our military to have the very best weapons. He battled the cancer for 2 years and 5 months and worked 4 days during the work week, took chemo during 1 entire day and worked every Saturday and Sunday. He put in 12 hours every day he worked working on something top secret and very important that he wanted to complete before he died. When 9/11 happened he was in a meeting being held in a SCIF with Generals,Admirals and the Secretary of Defense. He wasn’t allowed to take a cell phone in the plant but he wore a pager. We had a signal if I double paged him, it was an emergency and he needed to call me. He stopped the meeting came out found a phone and called me and said what’s wrong, I told him we were under attack. I repeated the page when the second building was hit and I said the Pentagon had been hit. All of the important men from DC came out to find phones to try and get ahold of others in the Pentagon and tried to get flights back but as you know all flights were shut down. After that I hardly ever saw him, all he did was work then in 5 years time he was gone.
James’s calm and disciplined response to those bikers was incredible. True strength is in control, not aggression. What did you all think about the way he handled things?
I'm a retired Marine and biker. I believe both Marines and bikers are mislabeled at times. Most bikers are decent people who just want to ride, just like Marines who don't want to be labeled as war mongers or baby killers.
That's a horrible thing to be labeled and I'm sorry on behalf of those that have done that to you and your fellow Marines. I recall, very vividly, our family being stationed at a now old radar site on Cape Cid, MA, back in the late 60s to early 70s. The airmen stationed there would march in the Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day parades dressed in their dress blues, at spit and polished. We were all so proud of our fathers. My memory comes from watching my father's anger and disgust, at the hippies in their long white gowns, flowers in their hair, sandal wearing persons, who interrupted their marching in these parades, to go over and blow smoke, which I didn't know what it was at the time and worse, to spit on them and their uniforms. My father and his fellow airmen, with red stoic faces, kept on marching, ordered to not engage the locals. Afterwards, meeting my father and his coworkers, who would be wiping spit from their faces and trying to clean off their uniforms and ribbons, made us all cry, not understanding why people would do this to our fathers? This was especially disheartening as my father spent two back to back tours in Viet Nam. My father earned a Bronze Star over there that we never saw the write up for until after he passed, never knowing he even had it. Because of his career field, he was unable to ever discuss the details of his job, although we frequently asked about him seeing UFOs which we'd be quickly told to not bring it up again. But even the award write up is so vaguely worded so as not to disclose the true meaning of his mission. Even my ex, working at DA, was not able to get the real details behind the mission, it being deemed classified. It's truly sad we overlook the sacrifices made of our service men and women, where the details can last a lifetime. Those spitting incidents after his return from Nam, hurt him more deeply than I can tell you. But you yourself know....Never let anyone who acts less than, take away from you. As a veteran, you'll always be a much more than. Thank you! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏
@@blondeblue156 I thank you for sharing your thoughts and support. I salute your father and will always have the highest respect from me and my fellow brothers and bikers..
GOD bless ALL who serve and have served,WE will not FORGET YOUR SACRIFICES! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE FROM A MARINE'S DAUGHTER! NO MAN LEFT BEHIND!💪🔥🇺🇸🔥💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Thanks to the military worldwide. Remembrance Day is to remember all military world wide with thanks. I have visited many war graves multiple and. Singular. Those ones were more emotional a person buried where he stood. Thanks to those out there still looking for soldiers bones at send home to their families. We have our freedom thanks to all these soldiers, sailor, and airmen across the world that we have freedom. Let's keep fighting for it.
Coming from a old school military Veteran of Vietnam was a Security Specialist USAF and lives in Texas 🇨🇱 you don't think you can attack Veterans and get away with it.
Thank you for your service. Thank you to your family for keeping the home fires burning. My dad was in Vietnam from 1966-1968. He came home with everything still attached. 💙
I am a 4 yr Airforce Vietnam War Vet I also ride a Harley-Davidson and have ridden since my discharge. I'm a retired VP 38 yrs. of a major Corp. This story is great for our soldiers our flag our Patriotism, but its FICTION.…bikers love our Military, most bikers are Vets or Active! The Hells Angels began as a group of WWII pilots who kept military brotherhood going on motorcycles. BIKERS ARE NOT BAD! We do Toy runs for children at Christmas, we help homeless Vets, we help abused children, we have Christian bike clubs, we visit senior homes take seniors for short rides to fill in a Bucket list! More of us Bikers do Good and Love God and America the Rule of Law and LIFE!!!
My Dad was a WW2 veteran. Growing up I didn’t realize that he had been a war hero because he never spoke of it. When I would date hometown boys they always had me home on time and had such respect for my Dad. I asked my boyfriend at the time what’s the deal and he said his Dad told him stories about my Dads service record and the respect everyone had for my Dad. When he was dying of lung cancer I asked him why he never talked about WW2 and I had to hear things from other people and these were his words, You never brag about taking others lives because he said he carried each one in his heart. He apparently saved his whole platoon in France. He met my Mom in Austria and married her before he came stateside. Many years later I was told he saved my Opapa ( grandfather) from a concentration camp not knowing then who he was. The last thing he said to me before he died was live your life with no regrets and I’m 72 now and I have tried to live with those words. I appreciate every soldier including my son who has fought for our freedom 💕💕💕
@debraernst3628 Respect! One of my Grandfather's fought the German's at the Battle of the Bulge. Escaped only after he hid under the bodies of 3 of his buddies as the enemy overran them and were either shooting or bayonetting anyone in a foxhole. My Dad was in Vietnam and I fought in the invasion of Panama. Long tradition, but I know why your Father did not speak of his time in Hell. I feel that way every time a civilian asks if I ever shot/killed anyone. I close off.
@ My Dad didn’t ever talk about killing people either. He was WW2 and was among the soldiers that helped free people from the concentration camps. At the time he didn’t realize he helped free my Opapa ( grandfather). He met my Mother in Austria and married her before he came back stateside. Those were the kind of stories he told us. One story was that he and the soldiers he was with were so hungry, they saw an elk and killed it. Dragged it to a farmers house and the farmer helped them skin it and all my Dad wanted was a meal and the elk horns. He carried those horns on his back for the remainder of the war and brought them home. They hung in our family room until I was about 42 and I asked him where he killed a deer with horns that big and that’s when he told us the story. My husband was in Vietnam and he never ever talked about it. So he understand how you feel. Thank you for your service because you guys did not get a warm welcome when you came home but I was a teenager and didn’t understand much of what was going on. I just remember when the news came on and talked and showed news reels about Vietnam my Dad would turn the tv off. From all the boys in my small town that came home my Dad visited each one to welcome them back but I was so young and naive about the whole thing until I got older
THESE soldiers fight for our freedom he handle himself very well not throwing a punch when you disrespect a flag you disrespect someone that fought for my freedom I am proud to be an American so please show respect that one that fought for you & God Bless all Soldiers A real hero doesn’t deserve disrespect So when you see someone that may have a hat that what war they served in please tell them for their service and show them the respect they deserve
I'm a Navy veteran as well as a long time Harley rider. I have belonged to the Harley Owners Group (HOG) for about 20 years. HOG is full of Vets and honors them whenever possible. The next time you see a biker with a vest on, check for military patches. More than likely, you will see patches from every branch of the military. Trying to remove our flag or unit patch is a bad idea no matter how big the wearer is. We earned the right to display those patches. I have the deepest respect for the soldier in this story, thank you for your service.
My Father served in the U.S. Army, EOD during the Korean Conflict. I have the utmost love, and respect for ALL of our military active duty, reserves, and veterans. That is extended to our Law Enforcement Officers, Emergency Medical Services, and Fire department personnel. Without them, we would not have the country that we have today. Thank you. God Bless You All.
Yes we are trained to a high standard!!! Praise to US Army Rangers, SOF, Snipers, Delta Force US Marine Corps Recon US Navy SEALS!! Train hard and Always be COMBAT READY!!!! From one VETERAN TO ANOTHER GODSPEED!!! Never forget our fallen Brother warriors Your in my prayers daily GOD BLESS THE U S A👍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 The US Flag Stands for Something
I was a British soldier in uniform at a bus station, sat down on a bench waiting for a bus, just finished a combat tour in Northern Ireland. Exactly the same scenario, said "look what we have here a tough war hero soldier boy from Northern Ireland". Grabbed my beret off my head, took a swing at me but I caught his arms, told him drop the beret. Tried to knee me in the balls, he missed. He was close, he took a full head-butt on the nose it split wide open. Not what I wanted to do but he gave me now choice.

Most do not realize that when you join , you have promised no matter the situation you will go and fight and do the job you are trained for, but even more It is I agree to leave my family at s drop of the hat or determined tome frames 6 months or more. My husband retired with a total of 31 years of service. It was a life of not knowing if any day you could be called back up etc. He served in 2 wars ,He missed His Son's Graduation and other fsmily times childrens and wives or husbands birthdays, Wedding Anniversarys etc. There is souch more too!!! Thankyou To All The Service men and Women.@@johnsamuel1725
Vets = good job done; help the weakest persons; disabled persons and old seniors....
Some people may not have appreciated you when y’all came back home but I damn sure did and I was a young teen at the time… 🇺🇸🫡
They’re not defending this country maybe the global resources for the ruling class just to keep things in perspective
Followed their leader who has no respect for our servicmen cheap drinking bullys with stupid names, not man enough to have normal names and run in packs the only time they feel tough, pathetic
Thank you, James, and your men for your service ❤

WELCOME HOME MEN!!! PROUD OF YOUR SERVICE ....THANK YOU....... GOD BLESS YOU ALL XXXXOOO
Thank you Brother. You show who we really are. Welcome home both of you. Climb to Glory
Military training saved my life. I am a Vietnam veteran and I retired from the navy in 1995. 2012 I was working sugar beet harvest getting off between 9:00 and 9:30 PM. On the way home I came up with a 10-wheel truck and I looked around it for oncoming traffic, seeing none I started to pass. As I got to the front tandem, in his lights I saw the hood ornament of another truck. Without thinking I used a maneuver I had been taught at boot camp in 1971 and never used in the navy.
Hard left until coming to the course I wanted, hard right to stop the turn and then center the steering. I stopped 5 feet off the pavement and the oncoming truck went between me and the truck I was passing. The second truck didn’t have any lights on as far as I saw.
@ I got out of the car, walked to the back and paced from the back bumper to the pavement. Got back in the car and backed onto the road and drove home.
I don’t remember an adrenaline dump, maybe because I was looking for problems before I started around the first truck. Maybe because I have had so much combat.
What a wonderful story! My complete honor to our military 🙏❤️
God Bless man like You & Thank You for your service to are country

It reminds me after being in the marine corps. Ordering a coffee and a couple guys told me to hurry up. Well I put both down less than a minute. And just walked out. To many bullies out there.
@ I don’t like like democrats do know reason to.
❤❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL STORY AND YOUR GREAT SERVICE. GOD BLESS AMEN.
Amazing dude God bless u brother
Moral of the story line, DON'T MESS WITH THE MILITARY!
Awesome story 👏👏.
My admiration and thanks to all veterans and current serving military 🤗.
RIP to all who lost their lives serving their country 💔✝️
Most bikers do not mess with soldiers, because alot of them are veterans.
I once drove a bike gang of Marine Vietnam combat veterans out of their house across the street from my first home. The Free Wheelers they called themselves. There was never more than 10 or 12 of them. But they terrorized the neighbors and were driving down the value of my house. I bought my first 3 guns the night it began and because I took a Los Angeles Deputy DA to the gun store owned by a LAPD officer walked out with them instead of waiting 2 weeks, or whatever it was in California in 1976. I got a Bicentennial Mini 14 in that first batch. For the record I did not join the military because God gave me the winning number in the 1970 Draft Lottery for good behavior and being born on November 1, 1952. Plus as an American it bothered me that we would fight a war on the side of the colonial power trying to keep a colony and its wealth for the colonists . Call me old fashioned. I was a Republican by the way and later was involved in the Contra War and afterwards had Wyclif Diego as an employee at my shrimp processing operation in Puerto Cabezas. I am so dump I blocked the street in front if my home with my body to stop a biker from going 70 or 80 up and down it last year. After the yelling died down he apologized and never did it again. Afterwards I was thinking “ what an idiot, I’m in my 70’s now”. He waves when he putts by occasionally.
My grandfather served in two wars for us so yes I respect military personnel and he had a Purple Heart and medal of honor medal
Jesus Christ, please bless this soldier for all he has done for this country. Don’t let anyone else bully him, please ,
Thank you soliders for your service 🙏🏼 🌺🌺🌺🌺
I'm a Veteran, hoorah way to go.
See there's still those who will stand with us if things falter in the states thanks for their service

Remember, we have many Patriot Bikers now days too! It's all about the heart folks. Don't let social media make you think all bikers are bullies.
I totally agree!! My son is a Vet and rides a loud Harley but has a heart of gold!
AaaaaëaaaZZZz
after 28 years as a texas cop there are biker gangs that are evil
@@terriunderwoodmeredith2452I totally agree
My dad was a Vietnam vet, '64-'72.
My 84 year old veteran husband shed tears over this. What our VietNam Vets went through was even worse. It was hard to jut get a job, and men had to hide their military service. That was the 70s, and it was the only time I was ever ashamed of my country. I was so proud to be the wife of an officer and the sister of another. I have sons who have served since. When you treat a veteran badly, you treat an entire family badly. It’s disgusting. James, we know your value and we are grateful for your service. We are fortunate to learn of you and proud of your demeanor and your expertise. We are proud of your service and we care deeply about you and all who serve. Than you.
Same in Australia.
I was a Viet Nam aviator, trained by a Korean Master Sgt on martial arts.
Mostly serious self defense on how to immediately immobilize an opponent, therefore, i choose not to fight unless absolutely necessary.
Thank you for sharing
True American people love our military officers and veterans
I love this.....I lost my husband....he was in military.....he passed away in the hospital.....passed away on 1-20-2024
I'm sorry for your loss .
May he rest in peace sorry for your loss
Sorry to hear that, you had a wonderful husband that want to fight to save his country. ❤
So very sorry for your loss.🙏🏻🇺🇸
I lost my husband in 2006, he died from cancer caused by his exposure to many harmful chemicals on his job. He worked designing and building Defensive weapons to protect America. He worked very hard, he earned 3 college degrees and devoted 43 years to protecting our country. He wanted our military to have the very best weapons. He battled the cancer for 2 years and 5 months and worked 4 days during the work week, took chemo during 1 entire day and worked every Saturday and Sunday. He put in 12 hours every day he worked working on something top secret and very important that he wanted to complete before he died. When 9/11 happened he was in a meeting being held in a SCIF with Generals,Admirals and the Secretary of Defense. He wasn’t allowed to take a cell phone in the plant but he wore a pager. We had a signal if I double paged him, it was an emergency and he needed to call me. He stopped the meeting came out found a phone and called me and said what’s wrong, I told him we were under attack. I repeated the page when the second building was hit and I said the Pentagon had been hit. All of the important men from DC came out to find phones to try and get ahold of others in the Pentagon and tried to get flights back but as you know all flights were shut down. After that I hardly ever saw him, all he did was work then in 5 years time he was gone.
God bless are military and there families. 💕🙏🇺🇸
James’s calm and disciplined response to those bikers was incredible. True strength is in control, not aggression. What did you all think about the way he handled things?
Payback quietly😊 hugs guys!
I'm a retired Marine and biker. I believe both Marines and bikers are mislabeled at times. Most bikers are decent people who just want to ride, just like Marines who don't want to be labeled as war mongers or baby killers.
That's a horrible thing to be labeled and I'm sorry on behalf of those that have done that to you and your fellow Marines. I recall, very vividly, our family being stationed at a now old radar site on Cape Cid, MA, back in the late 60s to early 70s. The airmen stationed there would march in the Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day parades dressed in their dress blues, at spit and polished. We were all so proud of our fathers. My memory comes from watching my father's anger and disgust, at the hippies in their long white gowns, flowers in their hair, sandal wearing persons, who interrupted their marching in these parades, to go over and blow smoke, which I didn't know what it was at the time and worse, to spit on them and their uniforms. My father and his fellow airmen, with red stoic faces, kept on marching, ordered to not engage the locals. Afterwards, meeting my father and his coworkers, who would be wiping spit from their faces and trying to clean off their uniforms and ribbons, made us all cry, not understanding why people would do this to our fathers? This was especially disheartening as my father spent two back to back tours in Viet Nam. My father earned a Bronze Star over there that we never saw the write up for until after he passed, never knowing he even had it. Because of his career field, he was unable to ever discuss the details of his job, although we frequently asked about him seeing UFOs which we'd be quickly told to not bring it up again. But even the award write up is so vaguely worded so as not to disclose the true meaning of his mission. Even my ex, working at DA, was not able to get the real details behind the mission, it being deemed classified. It's truly sad we overlook the sacrifices made of our service men and women, where the details can last a lifetime. Those spitting incidents after his return from Nam, hurt him more deeply than I can tell you. But you yourself know....Never let anyone who acts less than, take away from you. As a veteran, you'll always be a much more than. Thank you! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏
@@blondeblue156 I thank you for sharing your thoughts and support.
I salute your father and will always have the highest respect from me and my fellow brothers and bikers..
Salute
Love this. Happy Veteran's Day to all our great service Personnel.
We are PROUD of all of you🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
I spent 6 months at Ft. Bragg prior to shipping out to Viet Nam. This story brings back many memories, some good, some not so good.
GOD bless ALL who serve and have served,WE will not FORGET YOUR SACRIFICES! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE FROM A MARINE'S DAUGHTER! NO MAN LEFT BEHIND!💪🔥🇺🇸🔥💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Thanks to the military worldwide. Remembrance Day is to remember all military world wide with thanks. I have visited many war graves multiple and. Singular. Those ones were more emotional a person buried where he stood. Thanks to those out there still looking for soldiers bones at send home to their families. We have our freedom thanks to all these soldiers, sailor, and airmen across the world that we have freedom. Let's keep fighting for it.
Coming from a old school military Veteran of Vietnam was a Security Specialist USAF and lives in Texas 🇨🇱 you don't think you can attack Veterans and get away with it.
Thank you for your service. Thank you to your family for keeping the home fires burning. My dad was in Vietnam from 1966-1968. He came home with everything still attached. 💙
This was a great story. Too bad the video wasn’t posted , thanks for sharing too!
Not accurate
Wonderful. Thanks to all who have served in any military branch , Police , FireFighters and all other first responders.
Such a great post! Thank you for sharing it! Support our troops! ❤
I am a 4 yr Airforce Vietnam War Vet I also ride a Harley-Davidson and have ridden since my discharge. I'm a retired VP 38 yrs. of a major Corp. This story is great for our soldiers our flag our Patriotism, but its FICTION.…bikers love our Military, most bikers are Vets or Active! The Hells Angels began as a group of WWII pilots who kept military brotherhood going on motorcycles. BIKERS ARE NOT BAD! We do Toy runs for children at Christmas, we help homeless Vets, we help abused children, we have Christian bike clubs, we visit senior homes take seniors for short rides to fill in a Bucket list! More of us Bikers do Good and Love God and America the Rule of Law and LIFE!!!
Thank you United States Militarily😊❤
Proff that you don't disrespect your country and those who serve...SPECIAL FORCES equals your gonna get your ass kicked!!! MUCH LOVE FROM CANADA
Thank you Soldiers and your families for your service and your sacrifice so that I could raise my children in freedom.
My Dad was a WW2 veteran. Growing up I didn’t realize that he had been a war hero because he never spoke of it. When I would date hometown boys they always had me home on time and had such respect for my Dad. I asked my boyfriend at the time what’s the deal and he said his Dad told him stories about my Dads service record and the respect everyone had for my Dad. When he was dying of lung cancer I asked him why he never talked about WW2 and I had to hear things from other people and these were his words, You never brag about taking others lives because he said he carried each one in his heart. He apparently saved his whole platoon in France. He met my Mom in Austria and married her before he came stateside. Many years later I was told he saved my Opapa ( grandfather) from a concentration camp not knowing then who he was. The last thing he said to me before he died was live your life with no regrets and I’m 72 now and I have tried to live with those words. I appreciate every soldier including my son who has fought for our freedom 💕💕💕
Vietnam Vet, whooya!!!!!
@debraernst3628 Respect! One of my Grandfather's fought the German's at the Battle of the Bulge. Escaped only after he hid under the bodies of 3 of his buddies as the enemy overran them and were either shooting or bayonetting anyone in a foxhole. My Dad was in Vietnam and I fought in the invasion of Panama. Long tradition, but I know why your Father did not speak of his time in Hell. I feel that way every time a civilian asks if I ever shot/killed anyone. I close off.
@ My Dad didn’t ever talk about killing people either. He was WW2 and was among the soldiers that helped free people from the concentration camps. At the time he didn’t realize he helped free my Opapa ( grandfather). He met my Mother in Austria and married her before he came back stateside. Those were the kind of stories he told us. One story was that he and the soldiers he was with were so hungry, they saw an elk and killed it. Dragged it to a farmers house and the farmer helped them skin it and all my Dad wanted was a meal and the elk horns. He carried those horns on his back for the remainder of the war and brought them home. They hung in our family room until I was about 42 and I asked him where he killed a deer with horns that big and that’s when he told us the story. My husband was in Vietnam and he never ever talked about it. So he understand how you feel. Thank you for your service because you guys did not get a warm welcome when you came home but I was a teenager and didn’t understand much of what was going on. I just remember when the news came on and talked and showed news reels about Vietnam my Dad would turn the tv off. From all the boys in my small town that came home my Dad visited each one to welcome them back but I was so young and naive about the whole thing until I got older
True hero! God bless
THESE soldiers fight for our freedom he handle himself very well not throwing a punch when you disrespect a flag you disrespect someone that fought for my freedom I am proud to be an American so please show respect that one that fought for you & God Bless all Soldiers A real hero doesn’t deserve disrespect So when you see someone that may have a hat that what war they served in please tell them for their service and show them the respect they deserve
I'm a Navy veteran as well as a long time Harley rider. I have belonged to the Harley Owners Group (HOG) for about 20 years. HOG is full of Vets and honors them whenever possible. The next time you see a biker with a vest on, check for military patches. More than likely, you will see patches from every branch of the military. Trying to remove our flag or unit patch is a bad idea no matter how big the wearer is. We earned the right to display those patches. I have the deepest respect for the soldier in this story, thank you for your service.
Its nice to be appreciated, especially after the cold, prejudiced way we were treated after Vietnam.
31:17
It's horrible the way they did y'all. Our government makes me sick and I hope Trump does something about it
He was a staff sargent by the officer and clerk referred to him as sargent!😢
My Father served in the U.S. Army, EOD during the Korean Conflict. I have the utmost love, and respect for ALL of our military active duty, reserves, and veterans. That is extended to our Law Enforcement Officers, Emergency Medical Services, and Fire department personnel. Without them, we would not have the country that we have today. Thank you. God Bless You All.
my father was in Korea , sgt. 2nd infantry div. He was there when they had the ceasefire. He would always remind on the date they stopped fighting
Loved this story, The AMERICAN SOLDIER needs all the respect they can receive. I was proud to have served in Viet Nam.
Thanks for your service God bless you and your family All veterans thank you
Thank you all who served for us all. AMEN
Yes we are trained to a high standard!!! Praise to US Army Rangers, SOF, Snipers, Delta Force US Marine Corps Recon US Navy SEALS!!
Train hard and Always be COMBAT READY!!!! From one VETERAN TO ANOTHER GODSPEED!!! Never forget our fallen Brother warriors
Your in my prayers daily GOD BLESS THE U S A👍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 The US Flag Stands for Something
I was a British soldier in uniform at a bus station, sat down on a bench waiting for a bus, just finished a combat tour in Northern Ireland. Exactly the same scenario, said "look what we have here a tough war hero soldier boy from Northern Ireland". Grabbed my beret off my head, took a swing at me but I caught his arms, told him drop the beret. Tried to knee me in the balls, he missed. He was close, he took a full head-butt on the nose it split wide open. Not what I wanted to do but he gave me now choice.
