With a group of recipients of the nation's highest military honor on a trip from New York to Washington for National Medal of Honor Day 2011. See more at stripes.com/medalofhonor
Our V/A is terrible, the only “lovely treatment” veterans get is a couple discounts and a pat on the back. The government doesn’t care about our military. A lot of our soldiers end up as homeless, addicted or both.
"Above and beyond the call of duty...." It's telling that even a five star General salutes a recipient of the Medal Of Honor. They represent the highest values of courage and sacrifice in our country.
Technically, the Medal of Honor gets the salute, not the recipient, but the rank of a medal-wearing recipient only matters if they encounter another medal-wearing recipient.
Medal of Honor recipients hold an annual convention. If it comes to your city, there is a time during the convention when there is a "meet and greet" session which is open to the public. By all means attend that session if possible. I attended in Minneapolis and it was one of the highlights of my life. They will all return your salute if rendered...and it should be.
Thank you for your service to all the veterans who fought for the freedom of Korea. Still remember your great sacrifices in South Korea. Really thank you America.
Your kind words and gratitude mean a lot. My uncle saw combat in Korea….his squad was wiped out except for him. He was not the same coming home. My other uncle was in the merchant marine…civilian ships that supply the Navy in combat. My dad had just finished Army basic training. Orders were cut for his unit to deploy for combat in two weeks. A week later, the Armistice was signed. I’m glad S Korea is doing so well. I pray that the North will be free soon and communism fall…everywhere. It is a curse upon humanity. Peace.🇺🇸🇰🇷
Never served, but I understand the weight and sacred position of the Medal of Honor holders. This brought tears to my eyes. So many heroes in one place! It was good to see the respect shown.
That you have these Men to honour is a comforting way to go to sleep at night , knowing we are safe in our beds with them to uphold our way of life so we can sleep peacefully.
These brave souls, along with all who ever honorably wore the uniform, are the ones we owe the greatest measure of devotion to. NOT the overpaid underperforming athletes who sit down during the National Anthem out of "protest", not the nutjobs, lunatics who trash the very country who gave them so much and asked for little in return....it is such as these who made it all possible....God bless and keep them and their families and our country safe always.
David, I agree with everything you posted. My only wish would be for the NFL spoiled brats be made to watch this and maybe they will see how insignificant they really are. I have personally boycotted the NFL for 4 years and have vowed never to support them in any way, shape or form. Have a great Labor Day.
Thank you so very much, to all of our Medal Of Honor recipients. Thank you to all who have served, are presently serving, and those that will serve in the future. Your courage is so very much appreciated. Semper Fi
It would indeed be the highest honor to meet each & every one of these men! Since that is a bit unlikely, I will thank the ones I know who have served, or are serving, all the more fervently and often.
The Angel of Fredericksburg should have been awarded a posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor. The Federal soldiers who fought for the Union at Fredericksburg would welcome his recognition.
Sometimes people tell me "Thank you for your service," and I just nod my head and move on, because the wouldn't have said it when they saw me come off the plane from Vietnam. But THESE are the men and women who should be thanked far and beyond our poor abilities to do so.
Mr. Block, There are those who may have been ignorant, were very wrong or deceived about your service in Vietnam. I was a child then, so didn't understand all the discord about the war. But I was raised by a proud Army veteran to love my country, honor those who served, to weep over those who lost their lives spilling blood for my freedom, and to cherish those who are blessed enough to come home. Thank you, sir, for answering the call to arms. I rejoice you came home, & hope you have lived a full life.
Among the many benefits given to medal of honor recipients is free flights on all us aircraft all military personnel will salute you nomatter the rank and your decendants will have a spot in in any service academy of their choosing (ie. Westpoint, Annapolis ect)
what does it mean to receive the medal of honor? to me it says that there are limits to "going above and beyond the call of duty" and when you surpass those limits is when you get the medal of honor. thank you to every past, present and future recipient of this medal as you have demonstrated that you are what we see in real heroes.
@@jamespiattsr7758 not really, most awards in the military are awarded for going above and beyond the call of duty but the difference with the medal of honor is that most who are awarded it are awarded it posthumously or they died because of their brave actions. I watched a video on the differences between the medal of honor and being knighted by the queen of england and in that video was a story of a military Chaplin who personally carried at least 20 injured soldiers to medical helicopters during vietnam and was awarded the medal for it
William Kyle Carpenter is a medically retired United States Marine who received the United States' highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, for his actions in Marjah, Helmand Province, Afghanistan in 2010. Carpenter is the youngest living Medal of Honor recipient.
I hope these incredible chaps never have to pay for a beer, never have to pay a parking ticket, and would be welcomed as a guest into any home in the USA, for the rest of their lives. I would far rather be awarded a MOH than a Nobel Prize.
Just think of them now, EACH ONE OF THEM POTENTIALLY WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIFE FOR A FELLOW SOLDIER!!!!!!!!! MAY GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Not too sure of the airline who flew them but is it the best idea to put all of them on the same plane? They’re a national treasure and it would be an absolute tragedy if we lose any of them. Only 66 remain alive.
When will they ever build a Medal of Honor memorial in Washington DC? Just announced a memorial for Desert Storm which was a very short fight. I don't think that should be cancelled but a Medal of Honor memorial should have been constructed long ago.
I wasn't born in USA, but love how they treat their veterans and war heroes. Long live this great nation!
Our V/A is terrible, the only “lovely treatment” veterans get is a couple discounts and a pat on the back. The government doesn’t care about our military. A lot of our soldiers end up as homeless, addicted or both.
@@Coolguy992 They can apply for SNAP, housing, college, etc. I think only the people who are in to drugs suffer a lot.
Thank You.
Hahahahahha great nation hahahahaha
Not all veterans get this treatment. Sadly some end up
Homeless and most don’t talk about it or get the welcome until years later.
1:56 thank you for your service Korean War veteran
Thanks to your sacrifice, we're alive.
From an old beat up disabled vet....I was almost moved to tears watching this.
From a beat up civilian, thank you for your service sir.
dabprod from a honored, proud American citizen...thank you for your service sir.
"Above and beyond the call of duty...." It's telling that even a five star General salutes a recipient of the Medal Of Honor. They represent the highest values of courage and sacrifice in our country.
Even the president of the United States is required to salute a middle of Honor recipient
You have to salute a Medal of Honor recipient even if they're a lower rank.
Technically, the Medal of Honor gets the salute, not the recipient, but the rank of a medal-wearing recipient only matters if they encounter another medal-wearing recipient.
Wow. Those that saw all these veterans with the Medal of Honor is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
🇺🇸
I got chills watching this. God bless you guys.

From the UK. The greatest respect to these guys…
Each one of you are not regular people. Each of you are the shining example of what a hero is.
Putting someone else's life above one's own, even for just a short period of time, is heroic and brings tears to my eyes.
AMEN, ME TOO
No greater love has a man who would lay down his life for a friend.
"Greater love has no man than he that lays down his life for a friend."
@@leonardwolf1820 Now you got me crying again!
Never served, but I understand the weight and sacred position of the Medal of Honor holders. This brought tears to my eyes.
So many heroes in one place! It was good to see the respect shown.
The soldier sitting chatting with the airline pilot is Sammy Davis. His footage receiving his Medal was used in Forest Gump.
That you have these Men to honour is a comforting way to go to sleep at night , knowing we are safe in our beds with them to uphold our way of life so we can sleep peacefully.
nothing we can ever say or do can show our true application for men and women in the military. god bless them all
부럽다 우리도 625때 훈장을 받은 분들을 이정도 대우 해주면 좋겠다. Thank you for your service

In so many ways, this medal is THE GREATEST HONOR that America can bestow upon it’s citizens….
I am Vietnam Combat Veteran, I have Honor and Respect for MOH recipients Always
What an awesome clip. Can’t imagine how LOUD those bagpipes were in the cabin of that plain.
대한민국 국민입니다
미국민의 메달 수여자를 향한 뜨거운 찬사에
깊은 감명을 받았습니다^^
주한 미군의 희생에 깊은 감사를 드립니다
thank you
The US and South Korea will stand together forever in defense of the liberties which have made great both our nations.
How fantastic just to be there🙏🏻🙏🏻GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FROM THE HEART GENTLEMAN 🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
God bless you, and thank you. A proud, blessed, and thankful American.
It would be an honor to meet these men
Jonathan Kysar the highest honor even
It would indeed be the highest honor to meet each & every one of these men! Since that is a bit unlikely, I will thank the ones I know who have served, or are serving, all the more fervently and often.
한국전쟁 모자 쓰고 계신 분도 있네요. 감사합니다.
Let each one of us have a SERIOUS moment of silence for everyone who UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT or WILL NOT make it home !!!! 😭😭😭😭
There is still some amazing signs of excellent respect in the USA that is worthy of admiration.
The best America has. How could anyone. Possibly object to this video?
Great respect and appreciation for veterans:-)
These heroes need to be honored.! Any man or woman who fought for freedom anywhere in the world is a hero in my book.!🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏😊
No matter their rank all officers must salute even an enlisted man wearing a MOH.
The Angel of Fredericksburg should have been awarded a posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor.
The Federal soldiers who fought for the Union at Fredericksburg would welcome his recognition.
Look at these grandpa's there were more bad ass then you can imagine
Sometimes people tell me "Thank you for your service," and I just nod my head and move on, because the wouldn't have said it when they saw me come off the plane from Vietnam. But THESE are the men and women who should be thanked far and beyond our poor abilities to do so.
People are wrong a lot of times in this world but don’t let history repeat itself especially after Vietnam.
Mr. Block,

Thank you for your service 🇰🇷 🇺🇸
Thank you for giving us the ability to be free!!! I love you!!!!
Thank you for your service
From S.Korea
A very humbling video, I served in the Marine Corps and I only met one person in my life that received the honor.
Among the many benefits given to medal of honor recipients is free flights on all us aircraft all military personnel will salute you nomatter the rank and your decendants will have a spot in in any service academy of their choosing (ie. Westpoint, Annapolis ect)
Room full of humble hero's I thank you for your service!❤❤❤
I have personally met four Medal of Honor holders. That was a rare privilege for me.
하....진짜 멋있다... 우리나라는 대체 목숨 바쳐 싸움 뭐하냐... 한달에 20만원이나 던져주며 모른체 하는데 이러면서 OECD 20위 안에드는 선진국? 에휴...역사를 잊은 민족에겐 미래란 없다..ㅠㅠ
제복을 무시하는 나라 또한 미래는 없다
Thank you for your service - KR -
Thank you CMH winners for your service ..........
Spectacular! I'm so grateful for those who served, and those who recognized and planned this wonderful event for them. Just awesome.
God bless all those man and woman who really know what it means to protect us and are flag
Ordinary Men Extrordinary Heros !
This is what makes the United States the greatest country in the world.
None of these people wanted it. But it was awarded to them. And they bear the cross of their friends. I pray for all of them
Respect ..👍 Greetings from Denmark.
★ God bless America !!! - S.Korea -

Thank all of you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

I was impressed. That's why U.S.A. is great.
Absolutely awesome!!!! Heros!!! Love it!

It’s more than going above the call of duty. It’s doing more than that.

Holy cow!
That’s like running into a herd of unicorns.
This is awesome but one question: How did they get the plane off the ground with all that brass on-board?
Military Determination!
24/25 Sept 2021 HONOR FLIGHT AUSTIN (TX) went to Washington. My former next door neighbor was NICK BACON. MOH winner!
이 감동은 뭐지
Our true American Heroes. Enough said.
Bravo Zulu
Very Humble Men!
Hand Salute ready 2
These badass life are worth living on this Earth ...
These guys are real life superman
how did they all fit into that airplane with balls that big ?
To think that a TSA employee confiscated a Medal of Honor because he thought it was just another sharp, pointed, metal object.
정말 멋있다
없던 애국심도 생기게 만드는 미국
있던 애국심도 사라지게 만드는 한국
Este recibimiento fue mucho mejor que el que su pais le dio cuando regresaron de vietnan en los años 70's
Kyle Carpenter is a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor
Ok
William Kyle Carpenter is a medically retired United States Marine who received the United States' highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, for his actions in Marjah, Helmand Province, Afghanistan in 2010. Carpenter is the youngest living Medal of Honor recipient.
The bagpipe is the only instrument that sounds the same when you master it as it did the first time you played it.
Eu admiro e parabéns e por amor a sua bandeira,o patriotimo pelos símbolos de seu país. 🇧🇷🌹❤
For explained unknown Star light ⭐ and stirpes for forever ♾️.
I hope these incredible chaps never have to pay for a beer, never have to pay a parking ticket, and would be welcomed as a guest into any home in the USA, for the rest of their lives. I would far rather be awarded a MOH than a Nobel Prize.
Many MOH are awarded posthumously. These men are a VERY RARE BREED.🇺🇸🇬🇧
Just think of them now, EACH ONE OF THEM POTENTIALLY WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIFE FOR A FELLOW SOLDIER!!!!!!!!! MAY GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
진짜 초강대국 미국의 힘을 저런데서 나오는듯.... 멋지다 미국
미국은 없던 애국심도 생기게 만드는나라.
진정한 천조국.
Lebron James , Michael Jordan don’t have shit on these men ! This is what real BLING looks like boys !!!
존멋임
Semper Fi to all our medals winner
You expect me to believe that a plane could take off loaded down with that many giant brass balls?
Not too sure of the airline who flew them but is it the best idea to put all of them on the same plane? They’re a national treasure and it would be an absolute tragedy if we lose any of them. Only 66 remain alive.
The honor....
When will they ever build a Medal of Honor memorial in Washington DC? Just announced a memorial for Desert Storm which was a very short fight. I don't think that should be cancelled but a Medal of Honor memorial should have been constructed long ago.
미국 - 우리는 국가가 알아주는 위대한 사람들이다. 그에 맞는 행동을 해야 한다.
한국 - 우리는 국가에서 버려진 땅개 물개 참새다. 국가가 잊어도 끝까지 싸우자
미국 영웅들 미국이 강대국인 이유가 이런분들의 희생때문이란걸 알아야된다
The difference between the MOH and any other medal is that the MOH involves saving lives. The others are for eliminating the enemy.
Not really. DSC, NC and AFC sometimes involve saving lives, and some MOH recipients received the medal for killing enemies like John Basilone
진짜 멋있는 나라다 미국은

감사합니다! Korea..
Realized what the US Super Power really is.
榮譽勳章：madel of honor .✍️⭐
I wish scotland had more respect for its service personnel a part of our community has nothing but hatred for them and our veterans
Ain’t no terrorists going to hijack that flight
Semper Fi
It's summer '23. America is a mess. . . but when it does stuff like this, WOW!!!
