This was Something to see... Cong. Lewis’s Service was done so well. I was in awe of the Service men from each branch and what part they played in the service..
It would been nice to see a female soldier in the group. John Lewis fought for women's rights too.
the servicemen are excellent at what they do. much respect for them.
@@lisabradford8180 , much respect, this is my first time viewing this...absolutely Priceless...such an honor....and they are like a fine tuned machine, not missing a beat...
@@dianemccloud5990 i know the precision involved in what they do, i couldn't do it lol. they are the very best.
@@jeanettejamison1045 --AGREE 💯 🖤
His passing was handled with such love , care , and dignity. He was a force 🙏🏾
Yes look at the uncaring people with phones stuck in their faces. I find this most disrespectful, and you say it was handled with dignity.This was shameful. 😡 🇨🇦
Mr. Lewis deserved all the respect he got. A true American hero. RIP sir.
I thought the flag was racist 🤷♂️.
juana washington yeah it’s a racist flag but it’s ok to drape it on his casket. These people are a joke!
juana washington Not the time or place.
A moving tribute to a man who was willing to die so that future generations could have the rights that he was denied. Thank you Mr. Lewis!!!!🇺🇸
Beautiful comment!
Brings tears to my eyes. John Lewis was a true hero.
@@excelrange4246 same here.
LOL, why he was where he was! SMH.
Now he has gathered his well-deserved rest, now it becomes our charge to protect the torch of freedom and equality. We have come a long way, but we still have a long way to go. In this trial each of us must prove himself adequate.
Well said Eddy. Thank you. God bless and stay safe
Well said Eddie....well said. I'm going to post this in my office at work, and, share with as many as I possibly can.
Much respect and full 🎖 sir rest in peace now is our term to carry on
Yes
@Janet Burrus amen,
These men are sharp! 👏👏👏So much respect for the deserving John Lewis. Praying for his loved ones.🙏
Yolanda A Like if you were watching the funeral live on RUclips
Facts
May you forever Rest In Peace and “Thank You” for all your love and leadership. It truly is “Now Our Turn”🙏🏼♥️
Yes this is so beautiful. I saw it only once when my aunt die. But I was to young to understand. This is what America is with all it faults this is what John Lewis was fighting for what this country could be. John Lewis America is the one I want our children to grow and become. Not 45 America. Rest in peace ✌️ John Lewis all your Children in the streets of America and across the world will continue the fight.
@juana washington what a terrible comment on the wake of his death... you appear very bitter...
@juana washington well I understand your frustration but he is just One Man. It takes a village to carry out change. He couldn't possibly fix everything without support from Congress...When your up against ppl who systematically do not want to advance a community, particularly a black one, its very hard. Recall how your Trump called Baltimore a " shit hole city". Really? Its approximately 63% black... and! Trump never rented to blacks when he was a real estate tycoon in New York... its all documented.. he tried to convict the Central Park 5... now take Mitch Mcconnell who has been in Senate a long time ( as John Lewis was) for example has sat on many issues for a loooong time, one is the anti- lynching bill,which is absurd. There are other bills waiting for Senate approval that he,the majority refuses to bring to the floor... he prevented Obama of appointing a Supreme Court justice for NO Reason other than he deeply disliked Obama.. instead, we got the Brett who i am still waiting to see how he thinks... um, hes been not a favorite of many women...while Mr.Lewis has faults as we all do, his life since he was 15 was fighting for US,ppl of color. Do you realize as a young boy in Troy AL( which was a extremely segregated, racist town) he wasn't able to obtain a library card? To think a youngster back then couldn't even check out a library book! He didn't get one until he was 58 years old.... he marched with the heavy weights ( MLK) for voting rights act civil rights act, to stop police brutality against blacks. See for yourself, you can't possibly overlook or diminish what he did for ppl of color That is HUGE,!
Sadly, Trump has done zero for ppl of color. He's currently trying to reverse Obamacare . There are so many of us without healthcare and yet hes trying to destroy it,with no alternative path. Be sick with cancer and worry about your next chemo... I could go on and on yet Trump is not the man for minorities, never has been, never will. Again, Lewis got beaten, arrested many times so ppl like me( black woman) can vote,buy a home anywhere,attend schools.... I urge you to rethink your vote. Trump is not the one!
Amen
After all the eulogies... symbolism without words brought me to tears
Me too, Sis!
Absolutely..my wrestling coach just past and he was a veteran the silence was defeaning,the flag folding was very sad.
Ironically, the Flag is constantly burned and destroyed by his favorite marxist organization; BLM.
same
aaaaand the trumpista gotta shit on everything.
I watched the service on tv ...a very beautiful service for such a wonderful person RIP John Lewis you will never be forgotten 💔
😢🇺🇸
Rest easy mr. Lewis, you fought the fight, take your rest
Well said.
He did indeed🕊🇺🇸

I believe he's getting poke by Satan !
When judgement day come only thing he will he before God "well done thy good and faithful servant.
Such Honor and Respect: RIHeaven and Paradise Congressman John R Lewis.
How about Herman Caine's casket, and family????
Trump can hold his service since this was because of him
Just watch how those soldier are so INSYNC with their movement is just incredible. It just something to see.
@@Chinaglo24 how cruel.
Jonothan Doezer 👈🏼 Why are you here Inbred Idiot. ⚠️
Total respect given to a man who truly deserved it. Also total respect shown by everyone to each other by simply wearing a mask
"Speak up! Speak out! Get in good trouble!"
~Rep. John Lewis~
I ain't gonna front, this kind of brought me to tears 😢.
Such Respect and Honor, l literally had tears. Rest in Paradise Congressman Lewis
Mee too! RIP Congressman Lewis. We'll miss you dearly!
WHOEVER PUT THUMBS DOWN TO A STRONG MAN THAT STOOD FIRM REMEMBER THE CURSE IS ON YOUR CHILDREN'S CHIDREN
Much respect
Sofia Wheaton I did. This POS was a racist hopefully he’s on fire at the moment.
@@garydawson7218 GTH. 2020 BIDEN
When he pressed our flag against his chest, at 2:06 I cried.
Hector Mansancar Why?
I did too.
What exactly does pressing the US flag on his chest mean? 🤔
Czarina Czar It’s just to make the flag more flag and crisp as it was a little pillowy at first.
I cried too for the flag. Democrat holding a flag is pathetic and a dishonor to our country.
Taking a knee to honor the dead is a principle in militaries throughout all of history. Only in 2016 did it become “offensive”. I’m glad these servicemen showed the world the power of humility and reverence.
The Flag is not dead so it is offensive.
👏👏👏👏👏
Jeff Bowers fuck the anthem. Only God deserves worship.
Jeff Bowers thats bullcrap and you know it, you commie pice of trash... they were kneeling for the dead and all you saw was your own fear of being replaced. Own what you are but a patriot for freedom is the furthest thing from the ring kissing, water carrying cult the entire world knows you to be...You’d shoot your child before admitting you got duped...
Jeff Bowers Ps only an incel coward would make an “us vs them” comment on this video of all videos...You’ve already been replaced... you can’t stop it... lose the sour grapes and assimilate or keep enjoying being ignored by society. Either way, your daughters (not minorities) replaced you... take it out on them for getting on their knees and backs little man...
REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE, CONGRESSMAN MR. JOHN LEWIS. MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🌹
Which Heaven???? He hated TRUMP and God is Love, So he is not in HEAVEN, but under in the abode of HELL with the DEVIL. Only if he REPENTED and Made Peace with TRUMP and all THOSE he hated.
Millicent Ouma Does that me and all the Trump haters need to go to HELL? GOD will decide if he goes there or not.
@@millicentouma2324 when did he ever say he "hated," Trump? Trump is divisive and panders to bigoted minded people. He is dark and taps into everyone's fear. These are the same types of bigoted minded people that John Lewis faced during the Civil Rights Movement. He felt Trump's presidency was illgetiment and he definitely did not like him, but it doesn't mean he hated him. We will all have to meet our maker one day. How has Trump treated people while on earth? Better yet, how have you?
He might have gone down, or up, but NOT because of trump. trump is not God for goodness !!
Ironically, the Flag is constantly burned and destroyed by his favorite marxist organization; BLM.
188 miserable people disliked this video. But the moment was bigger than them anyway.
Marva Byrd 118 KKK fuckers you mean racist bastards can go fuck them selves, not you Ma’am, but the 118 people who thumbs downed this.
Tom Prosser That’s not a nice way to talk about people I disagree with them strongly about disliking the video as well but there is no reason to call them the vulgar names you have called them. It is groundless and makes you as bad as them. I would advise against this in the future.
Geezer Pathwalker That’s a gross generalization to make to be fair that is also how the President speaks and I don’t think you should call Congresswoman Tlaib the b word
@Geezer Pathwalker I can only assume you were one of the ones who disliked the video? But it really doesn't matter....as I stated before, the moment is too big for haters to ever understand. If you worship Trump and the rest of Republican party that tells me all I need to know about you. I will not be going back and forth ✌
Yeah but it isn't just KKK types that would dislike it. Proffessor Black Truth, Jason Black, Tariq Nasheed among others thought of Mr. Lewis as a sellout. Funny cause I don't see any of them trying to pass laws to help black people at all!
The honor respect tribute for John Lewis well deserve....I love the flag folding the art the beauty of it always has me in awwww.....🙏🙏
I love the military rituals of funerals.
John Lewis? Im wondering what branch of the military this man served in? Does anyone know?
Military rites are reserved for VETERANS. And Police service.
Tourist K, I agree. There are many who need to watch this act of respect for the flag instead of burning it. Mr. Lewis must have believed that also if he and his family requested its presence atop his casket.
@Mr. Fair it's not honoring .. It's just respect.
Nov 3, 2020 is fast approaching AMERICA it's time TO GET IN THE WAY & VOTE VOTE VOTE that's GOOD TROUBLE
I can't wait until November comes
What does that have to due with Mr. Lewis?
TRUMP 2Q2Q 🇺🇸
Anna Graser Still fighting for change just like John Lewis
Bonnie Braden no bitch
A beautiful ceremony, in which our military was so precised with the folding of the United States flag, for a man so deserving.
I can't im in tears smh I work for the federal government congressman rest in peace thank you for your service.
I didn't work for him and I'm tearful. A good man that cared. RIH
Luckesia Jones What service his District is a shit hole, he didn’t take care of those people! Prove me wrong!
Женя Марик You need some SERIOUS HELP! 😂🤣
As the flag is handed over to the family member the officer says "From a grateful nation." No truer words were spoken that day. RIP John Lewis. Yours was a job well done.
Absolutely bueatiful ceremony.
LOVES OUR AMERICAN ARMY
GoD Bless this Family and Thank You For Your Service Sweet John. 🙏🏼🇺🇸❤️
A Service “Fitting 4 a KING”
#Well Earned & Deserved
🦋 Rest Easy Mr. Lewis 🦋
What a blessing to be able to witness this. A man who was once beat down for standing for his civil rights and others now receives honors that no black man at the time could ever even dream about. RIP John Lewis.
Every human being only needs recognition from God. Black people do not need white people to recognize their value and significance. God created every man equally and that is written in the bible before man wrote it in the Constitution. That's the problem with evil racists people in this country thinking they are better and superior when that is a lie straight from the pits of hell. There is only ONE SUPERIOR BEING and HE IS GOD SUPREME and ALMIGHTY! GOD IS NOT WHITE GOD IS A SPIRIT. Again, He is a Spirit and His Names are ELOHIM, JEHOVAH, YAHWEH and JESUS! ALL ARE THE SAME ONE GOD! God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit = Holy Spirit and in Truth = Jesus. Jesus said, "I AM the Way and the Truth and the Life and no one comes to the Father but by me". When Moses asked God who should I say send me and God said to Moses, "I AM THAT I AM send you". Jesus says, "I AM The Good Shepherd". The Good Shepherd lays down His Life for the sheep. Jesus said, "I AM the Light of the World". God is One God that operates in Three Persons. God the Father is only Spirit, God the Son is Jesus and Jesus is fully flesh and fully God, and God the Spirit is the Holy Spirit. In my spiritual dreams Jesus is a light caramel mixed with beige colored person and Jesus is God in flesh form. Jesus came in the flesh and again He is fully flesh and fully God. The fullness of the Deity dwells in Jesus. The Deity is God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. When you accept Jesus as your personal Savior, the Holy Spirit dwells within you and you are sealed and your name is placed in the Lamb's Book of Life. The Lamb here is Jesus because Jesus was the last and final sacrifice on the cross or tree and only Jesus died and shed His precious and Holy Blood to take away the sins of the world. Sins that Adam and Eve brought on the world by disobeying God. Without accepting Jesus, you cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. You cannot go to heaven and live with God everlasting. To reject the Son Jesus is to reject the Father God. The Bible says if you say you have the Father (God) and not the Son (Jesus) you don't have the Father and if you say you have the Son (Jesus) and not the Father (God) you don't have the Son. You can't have One without the Other. They are One and the Same. Jesus said He and the Father are ONE! God draws close to you and shows you miraculous things that you cannot even tell some people. The Word of God is foolishness to unbelievers and they think you are Koo-koo for Cocoa Pops. God does not allow His children to have an unsound mind or to have nervous breakdowns. That is not of the Father. God gives His children a sound mind and He gives His children perfect peace when our minds are stayed on Him. God shows up in all people lives who accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. These people become adopted Sons and Daughters of God and Brethren to Jesus and Joint Heirs with Jesus and Jesus is the Only Beggotten Son of God the Father. Jesus said no one comes to the Father but by Him. Evil racist people will have a rude awakening when they die and stand in front of a Man of Color who is the only Savior Jesus Christ and who is fully man and fully God. Jesus died and was resurrected. Jesus flesh was raised from the dead. GOD cannot die. God is Everlasting in Existence. Jesus in flesh died but His Spirit went back to God before He died. When Jesus said "Father into Thine Hands, I commit my Spirit". Black people are in the bible. Black people have been treated with evil from slavery times thru the lynching era thru the Jim crow, segregation police killings and brutality, poor education systems, poor medical, poor housing and so much more evil done to Black people and yet they still live, move and have their being. God lets them still stand and God is the God of the oppressed. Evil Racists people will have their day in court in God's Great White Throne Judgment. The bible says it is appointed to man once to die, then the judgment. Judgment Day is coming and sooner than we know it. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when they are thrown in the Lake of Fire along with the devil, death, anti-christ, beast, fallen angels which are now demons or evil spirits and every false prophet and evil doers and human beings who rejected Jesus Christ. Also, going into the lake of fire are mistreaters of the poor, rich people who idolize their money, liars, fornicators, and so many more. There is a narrow but straight road to heaven and a wide and destruction gate to the Lake of Fire.
When you live your life well people respond to you death like this.
@juana washington How would you know that? Just curious. 🤔
Satan is always present glass house 🏠 🙄 and all
Y'all aint got no damn home training. 80s baby when did it become cool to speak ill of the dead? Just no class. Even if someone wasn't shit, you leave it be. They're dead. Nooooo not in 2020 smh
Amen to that
The special on tonight shows that in his hometown of Troy AL, as a young kid,he couldn't even obtain a library card! Blacks weren't allowed... he didn't receive one u til he was 58 which is absurd... all these negative comments of him... unbelievable... he did tremendous things during civil rights along with all the others...💞
I've never witnessed a ceremony where the flag was folded 🇺🇸. This was done in a patriotic, yet respectfully manner. To witness such dignity is really touching. The service men were Awesome. May Mr. Lewis now Rest In Eternal ✌
Rest In Power Congressman Lewis
@juana washington what is wrong with you?
@juana washington you sound like a racist hag delivering all the GOP talking points on que
@juana washington You poor thing
@juana washington it's cute when racists call other people racists
@juana washington brilliant response
That ceremony is extremely moving when it’s witnessed in person! 09.14.2013 my father and mom were laid to rest in Washington Crossing National Cemetery. Extremely emotional!
As I read the comments I can't believe all this negativity that's being said here. If you can't say something nice then just shut your mouth...Shameful

He looks quite good for someone who is at least 250 years old. Seriously, he had a life that mattered to many people and he made a difference for many people. But he didn't sign the Declaration of Independence. Were he there he be stellar.
What an honor.. rightly befitting for a man who chose integrity and #GoodTrouble over hate. 🙏🏽💙✝️‼️
A GREAT & HUMBLE SOUL THANK YOU MR.LEWIS we will keep voting and trying to make this place more equal for all .. & 100 RESPECT to the HONOR GUARD they show the UTMOST RESPECT & DIGNITY to the LIFE they are escorting everywhere they are at 👏👏
At the military funeral given my father for his 30 years of service, this is where I just lost it. It’s one of those moments where you’re filled with both sadness and pride. As long as I live I’ll never forget the honor bestowed upon my father. And I know it’s something that the Lewis family will never forget as well.
🌳R.I.P.🌳Representative John Lewis🙏🏽
A heartfelt thanks to everyone you played a role in each ceremony. Your love, honor support, dedication and commitment in ensuring that Congressman John Lewis (uncle Robert ) home going celebration was nothing short of amazing and memorable, will never be forgotten. The Lewis family will forever be indebted to you all. Much love
This made me teary eyed..
He fought the good fight of faith and earned his wings in heaven. God is saying......HE is well pleased. May the family be blessed with strength through this time of sorrow and joy.🙏🏽❤️
Such courage, conviction and compassion is rarely found in one man. Thank you John Lewis.
💗Rest in peace to John Lewis.💗 it's beautiful to be next to your loving wife of 45 years. Very Touching. 💗
I'm in tears
Why would anyone thumbs down a funeral weird azz people in the world. Thank You Senator Lewis R.I.P💕💞💕💞
MAY YOU
REST-IN-PARADISE
MR.LEWIS A SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE.WE THANK "GOD" FOR YOU.
MY CONDOLENCES TO THE LEWIS FAMILY.
I was presented a flag during my husband's retirement...it was so bittersweet. I didn't know whether to smile or cry...but since he was standing there proud of having served his Country, and being honorably discharged..I too was proud...In the picture that was taken...I smiled.
--Thank You for getting into "Good Trouble" Congressman Lewis. You're back with the love of your life" Enjoy Heaven.
Thank Congressman John Lewis! We Will Be at the Poles come November! Rest in Power 🙏🙏
God We are sending.You another Good Man HomeTo Rest. Thank -You For His Services.
*polls. Poles are people from Poland.
Mr. Lewis...you're an ancestor now! We will continue to keep you alive in spirit🙏🏾 RIP
This reminds me if the first military funeral funeral I ever attended,I was ten,my cousin was killed while tracking a Russian submarine,his plane crashed into the side of a mountain,all aboard were killed,I’ve attended more since then , my father and my older brother were in the Marine Corps ,it was an honor for me ,they are both buried at our local national cemetery,rest in peace sir....rest in peace.
edt
may they all r.i.p😔
@Walt Schmidt I'm guessing you're not black. Tell me if I'm wrong.. 🤔
@Walt Schmidt A serving U.S. Congressman is certainly entitled to a funeral with full military honors. Get your alternative facts straight.
Maoli2013 Because they “gave” it to themselves. It is enough to make one puke a little...
This man was honorable in life and even when he is dead ,he even more honorable.The life he lives speaks for him ,my God rest his soul.
Hear your voice in my ears clearly: "when you see an injustice, make some 'good trouble' and make a positive difference...serve your fellow (wo)man, and don't forget to forgive all the poison." Mahalo JRL for leading the way! Come November...I know my duty!!!
When John Lewis was 23, he would never have thought that he would help change America, have a US military honor guard at his funeral or leave this earth lifted by so much love and respect. He was a good man who did extraordinary things. Rest in power.
Watching them fold the flag and give to his son was awesome.
All of the comments were great! thank you my Brothers and Sisters, You are my family.
I love how our military fold the flag, with honor and dignity. This is patriotism regardless of color. God bless America and our MILITARY.
Amen 🙏
Respectfully done! - thank you
It gladdens my heart to see tradition and ceremony honour such a good man. He touched a lot of lives. His wish is for all Americans to exercise their right to vote. Be with the angels, John Lewis.
Thank you for your service. We salute you!
OMG...Such An Amazing HONOR..🙏for A Legend...GOD BLESS Him Always..
God bless all good people my love from scotland
A congressman with honor, honesty, and integrity. 100% democrat.
Cinny Manini to suggest that John Lewis is “100% evil” makes you a sick hateful person. Shame on you for dishonoring yourself and the death of an American patriot!!! What a creep!!
@@universal-creator many things but a patriot, he was not. R.I.P.
Reyna Price John Lewis laid in state at the state and national capitol. You never will be a fraction as liked as him. Not ever.
Cinny Manini So you’re another cult member too? 3 presidents won’t speak at your poorly attended funeral, guaranteed!
@@universal-creator thats okay, because that's just your opinion. You don't know me. Bless your heart, All I said was the man was many things, but a patriot he was not. I suggest you look at what a patriot is and for Americans solely where the word was derived from and why this country is what it is. With that Sir, God bless you, and again may he R.I.P.
The love and care they put into folding and presenting that flag moves me to tears
John Lewis was a warrior for justice ...tremendous respect shown, how fitting..
Man!!! Gives me goosebumps!! The coordinations was on point!
His latter was greater then his past!! God said if you humble yourself, He will do the exalting!! Praise God for him having a strong fighting spirit to the end!!❤
Another Angel has left us. Thank you for all you have taught us as a society. One Love dear friend. 🙏🇨🇦💜
This makes me so sad: It’s not easy dealing with grief of a loved one. RIEP congressman Lewis. Job well done!😢
Thank you John Lewis for giving a voice to those who could not speak but will now be heard . Rest in peace and Amen.
He died giving his all to this country.May his family continue his legacy
The way the flag is folded by the military gets me every time and tears stream down my face. Not for the flag itself but the pride, respect and honor for the dearly departed. Rest In Peace Congressman John Robert Lewis. Well done Sir. #good trouble
I wonder why that marine knelt down to hand the flag to the family!? Oh that’s right, IT IS A SIGN OF RESPECT!!!!!
what is your point? there were three former commanders there. that's more respect than a Sergent kneeling
JAY JUNIOR and your point is, exactly?!?!?
A Prophet of Civil Rights. A graceful, yet powerful voice. A doer of equality and bringing people together as one. The hand that held the nation as his child and fought for all the children in this house... THE WORLD HOUSE. The open hand, not the clenched fist. The creator of GOOD TROUBLE. OUR hero JOHN ROBERT LEWIS 🙏🏾💪🏾🤝🏽🤲🏾❤ From our Earthly Saint, to our eternal Angel. Rest in power Mr. Lewis. We will keep fighting the good fight, because here or not you lead the way. You taught us how to do it right, by example.... with grace, honor, respect, action and using our voices with meaningful, direct precision. THANK YOU CAN NEVER FULLY EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE ❤
Goodbye for now John Lewis. If there’s ever a time we needed your leadership, it’s now.
He never done any leading when he was alive. His district in Georgia is a shithole and he rode MLK Jr coat tail until he was killed.
K Cook so sorry you’re misinformed and filled with anger. That’s too bad for you. Try reading books to find out more about him.
@@vallee7966 where do you think I got this info from?
The folding of the Flag always brings me to tears. RIP Rep. Lewis.
That was spectacular. Rest well to a true American hero.
I remember watching them fold the flag from my uncle's casket and the sense of honor....pride and respect I felt for him in that moment. It really hit me hard!
RIP KING YOU WERE TRULY A SOLDIER IN GODS ARMY FIGHTING WITH FAITH ON THIS EARTH, WHICH WAS NEVER EASY🙏🏽💯✊🏽✅
Wow 😢😢EVERYTIME I watched one of his precessions I teared up , you can feel the love and respect for him . My goodness, this is a very good way to leave this earth and enter into the new world , wow
John Lewis deserves credit and his family should be proud he was able to able to play the race card all the way to the top.R.I.P Bruh.
Tears flowing what a brilliant and brave man of faith. He fought a good fight. I will forever remember his words to "Never Give up". May he rest in peace. 🙏
Simply Beautiful up most RESPECT
Befitting of a strong courageous human being.

Well done though good and faithful servant RIP CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS 💔😢🙏🏾
I find it extremely hard to watch or hear anything about Mr. John Robert Lewis without tears filling up my eyes. He was and will always be an angel sent from heaven. May he forever RIP.
So..... the 12 souls that thumbed this down, what's your problem?
Evil Hearted Trump supporters.👿
@Janet Burrus Listen! Smh the entire time.
There
Janet Burrus The sad thing is, they think they follow Jesus, but they worship false idols.
They were upset that a white soldier had to kneel before a black man, maybe I'm reaching, but that would make me uncomfortable as a white person, to see that the soldier knelled.🤷🏾♀️
This brought tears to my eyes. I never seen the flag so delicately folded. Memories of my military family and friends that had similar services came rushing through. Well deserved for him and the others. 🌸♥️🙏
I love seeing the *folding of the flag*, such beauty in the respect of it. 🇺🇸
The whole process of bidding this Titan of a man to his rest was handled with dignity and respect, honor for Congressman Lewis. I would gladly guess that the servicemen who bore the casket to its rest will never forget they are now part of history. Rest in peace and power, Congressman Lewis.
Rest in peace, John Lewis. You are so Admired!
God Bless the Lewis family
Honoured to witness this, massive respect and RIP 'Good Trouble'
Such an awesome and honorable display of military precision for Congressman John Robert Lewis! Despite everything that is currently happening in our Democracy this makes me feel incredibly proud to be an American citizen! 💞🙏🏿
GOAT OF HUMAN RIGHTS
Rest Well old soldier, finally you can get some rest from the constant struggle and battle for justice. You definitely left this world in a better place, just because you were here! I will do my best to honor you with no hate in my ❤️ for whatever comes my way.
Great man..great leader.. Great speech.. America lost a wonder man. His wish is to See america United. Lets do are part in November.. Remove TRUMP. We need a change. We all need to be United
His greatness is within us. Thank u Mr. Lewis
Looks like he had a beautiful turn out and a beautiful send-off rest in peace
Was a service befitting of a great man just beautiful
This was everything for me as a black person in America who loves her country. Brought me to tears to think that someone like our POTUS who questions rather black Americans love America...
But the you have BLM kneeling during the National Anthem and turning their backs on the American Flag
Tammy’s Vlogs your clearly ignorant so don’t comment if you don’t know better. BLACK ppl kneel because of injustice in America bc we feel like we’re worth less to some folks then animal or a house pet so miss me with your foolishness ma’am Nd nvr comment to any of my post again
ANN COOPER lmfao!!! Who’s ignorant???? They wouldn’t kneel during the National Anthem if they love their country! You’re the one who pointed out your skin color!!! The National Anthem has nothing to do with what the protesters are protesting or disrespectfully KNEELING during it!! Turning their backs on the very people of all colors and creed fought and died for!! In order for you “as a black person” to be able to live this great nation!! As in me “ a daughter of a United States Marine! And having cousins who are half African American! That absolutely think BLM and the Kneelers are a disgrace to their race. As in Mr. Lewis family being represented with the American Flag, as very well deserved and BLM and you “ as a black person” turn their backs on this very flag that this gentleman’s family was presented. You Ignorant ass!!!
Tammy’s Vlogs keep your racist ass off my comments. What part you didn’t understand fool
That is such a beautiful salute.
can't believe people would dislike this video grow up.
