As a retired Marine, I have no words for what I would do to his son to make him realize the importance of his father, and to seek him out because that man is deserving of respect. Now, I can't make his son realize; I can only teach him, and hopefully that's enough. Everyone gets dragged down in society, but everyone can climb out of that "sunken place" too. This world is NOT what he and I fought for. This is something I don't know anymore.
Charles I agree These people put their life on the line So we can all live in freedom I am from New Zealand and respect anyone who works in the forces to keep everyone safe
Somebody isn't going to do what Everybody should do but Nobody ends up doing. Because social support system is called communism in the USA. This has been a popular issue since forever and if people really wanted to fix it, it would have already been fixed.
Fi K I agree that's why I don't understand racism a marine vet went into a restaurant for a free meal. Some guy said he wasn't a marine and he was black. Before you disagree with me if he was white he wouldn't got called out like that.
It's a sin and a shame. When a person comes forth and puts their very life on the line for you and millions of their countrymen whom they don't even know, they should never again in life want for a single thing let alone simple basics like food or housing!
He seems content with his life. Notice how he wants his son to come track him down vs him finding his son? or that he's ok playing for tips? I served in the USMC over 20 years ago, this man is 15 years my senior; I would never abandon my children without a very serious reason. Perhaps him staying with his child would have caused more harm than good, so he left. He may have mental issues because of his service experience but he also likely doesn't want to deal with the "system" any more. I don't blame him and wish him well.
“It’s a shame he’s homeless.” Yeah, and hundreds of thousands like him. Do something for these people. All of them deserve a roof over their heads and a benefit that allows them to live with dignity.
With you 100%. Who knows what this Marine witnessed to change his life. War does that to people - no matter how strong, how good, how devoted to human liberty and freedom. I talk with the homeless here in L.A. - help out as I can. We all should. But instead of sending 50 billion to Ukraine oligarchs, the money should help here.
"Do something for these people." Thats a lot coming from someone who probably never went homeless, never slept without a bed. YOU probably do not know how hard it is to do things like that easily. Would YOU be prepared to donate more than one hundred dollars that YOU earned? I'd like for you to know how hard it would be to do this, how hard it is to come back from homelessness, and that human nature would prevent people from donating enough to financially aid all homeless people.
@@BassS1nger Yes. I just gave $160 to a homeless 66 year old black woman who has a degree, had professional job, then had a stroke. I am looking for housing in L.A. And only can find these terrible “ shelters.” With lots of drug use, everything stolen. No individual rooms. I also donate $200. Month for my 95 year old friend for her rent. I am 70+ , social security of $900. But my husband is still alive and we own a modest 70 year old home. If I can do this, so can thousands of others. But the bloated city, county, state, federal governments need to get busy to solve this homeless issue - for all homeless.
Beth Roesch if you think the elite gives a damn about you and the vets than you’re dumber than the Donald dump supporters all the elite cares about is themselves and thier kids it’s called self interests smh
No there is a thing called a former marine, there’s no such thing as an ex marine!! While arguing that many of the habits stay with us, we have to come to the realization that most of us couldn’t pass the pft now!! Personally I smoke to damn much and am pushing 40!! I’d be lucky if I could finish three miles without a heart attack, tho if I walked I bet I could still beat some of the fat body corporals and terminal lances. 🤔
This actually happened in our town. The local hotel gave a homeless man a room and hired him to play the piano. They did it after hearing him play their piano.
Thank you so much for helping that man out I would have gave him and his son a roof over there heads if only I new this one touches HOME 🇺🇸 thanks again
Every country has the same failure. They train their citizens to go to war. They fail to train them to come home after. This failure is why so many veterans have the same problem adjusting to civilian life. This is OUR shame. OUR failure.
Agreed!! Anyone who served and has been fortunate enough to come home, should have a home waiting for them free of a mortgage. A pension that they can actually survive on, and PROPER mental health support at the snap of a finger to say the least!!
This man is not an ex-marine. He is a veteran of this country, like all veterans who served this country, should be taken care of. To all these veterans thank you for your service. Liberty and freedom.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Patrick Guy How is this possible our country's HEROES TO BE HOMELESS ??? I get so angry to see how the system let down those who SACRIFICE AND SERVE ! I am a Coast Guard proud mom ! Thank you for you're service to all who serve and they're families and more to be done for our HREOES !!!
My husband is a retired veteran had a hard time watching this ,I'm in tears. The V. A. can help if He is willing to want it. All of our love ( Aloha) goes out to Him coming to You from Honolulu, Hawaii. Welcome Home Sir.
His local Social Services Dept. Should be able to help him . Perhaps someone will see this & help give him a ride there. If anyone could do just what they can for him, l suspect he will receive some much needed help. Inside edition aired this story & my hope is someone can help set him up a "go fund me" page. Perhaps he will be able to get on his feet. I'm hopeful for him to be reunited with his son soon. God bless.

Not necessarily on purpose, but it shows that people still look down their noses at people who have fallen on hard times and live on the street. A little more thought in what they were saying and HOW they were saying it would have gone a long way in my opinion.

meaning their retarded. Edit* trump fixed VA clinics and increase solider pay, while every dem was against it. Remember when trump increased military spending... how outraged the Demonrats were...
This kind of thing always sickens me... This man,,any man or woman that offers their life to defend our freedom (no matter your country) should NEVER be left without anything..Their country owes them and should never forget them any day or any year....November 11th is but one day...They fought for us EVERY day and still do...This is where the governments fail.. "fight for us you're the greatest hero...come home and you're forgotten"..Disgusting
soirilien st hilaire Its as a shame the Government would rather spend our tax dollars on illegals , than those who served. Where's the love and repect? 2015
WHY....WHY is this HERO homeless? He's a marine and just like that he should have a home! That's messed up that our country doesn't care. What a beautiful gift he has. God bless 🙏
Cowboy Curtis obviously you have unreasonable hate towards military. Thats cool i get it. But some people go as a choice man. I loved highschool.. english and history were my best subjects.
Cowboy Curtis those things have nothing to do with being a marine, you’re just venting your anger and putting aside logic. You can’t compare earning the title of marine and being stripped of your title as a Doctor because of medical malpractice... come on, even a middle schooler can see that.
EarMode he is like most of us i was also in the corp we see our friends go to the va for help and a lot of times the va makes matters worse they killed three of my best friends with toxic pill cocktails before they hit 40
As a Marine myself, let me correct you "Inside Edition" on a common mistake. There's no such thing as a "Former" nor an "Ex" Marine. There's Marines, & Marine veterans.
Cowboy Curtis If someone has the commitment to complete a term of service as a Marine instead of entering into college just to pay off a debt for the next 20 years, I would respect the former more than the latter.
Cowboy Curtis Surprising as it may seem to you, public education isn't part of a wonderful dreamland where everyone has a choice to be perfect in every way. If your path is destined for failure, it is better to take advantage of the life that does not make you a slave to an educational system that didn't really do you much good.
Cowboy Curtis, it appears your "so called" education, hasn't remedied your ignorance. I "chose" to serve my country. Not due to a lack of options as you so claim. I attended college before I went into the Marine Corps. However, liberals, millennials, & people such as yourself, wouldn't understand the reasons for serving ones country & fellow man. You know I find it odd, you call me dumb, yet you call yourself Cowboy Curtis. Look up what cowboy means. Then talk to me about dumb. Stop & think about what you say, before you say it. It'll relieve the pain of removing your foot out of your mouth.
What an amazing man. It must be hard going from being a marine, husband and father to homeless. I hope someone gives him another chance and he gets a bit of comfort in his life. And keep up the piano playing. Sooooooo amazing
@@adamjackson2955 Some people just prefer to live a life unmoored from the rest of the world. I used to volunteer at a homeless shelter and there were definitely more than a few clients who had zero desire to take advantage of our services to help them find permanent housing.

Lenny The Troller that's true but a Marine (and other service personnel) was willing to give his/her life for America and America isn't willing to help them when they need it
I agree but a "soldier" is what you call someone in the army. It's specific to the army. A marine is a marine. Although they're sometimes referred to as jarheads.
Breathtaking! I only pray that our government will it together and help our veterans the way that they have helped us. Give them homes and get them off the streets.
That's a shame that a veteran that fought for our country has to be so much treated as if he wasn't even recognize as a man who served our country that the veteran would not put him in a house of his own

Not all Veterans want help. Some actually choose to be homeless although they receive benefit checks the drugs get the best of them and they don't want to get clean.
Someone who gives to the world his good spirit through music like this and touches people helps all who come upon him. He deserves respect an thank you for your service. Wow ! Can you play the piano. Mark. Westchester NY
@John Dohn What the hell is that supposed to mean? First of all its President Trump second of all when is he in charge of social services? Is everything his fault......get a grip
Why is everyone so surprised when a homeless person is good at something? Homeless people lived a normal life at one point in time, they had hobbies and interests just like everyone else.
@jeremy staples ....to be homeless and still maintain your piano skills is impressive....a piano is physical instrument that you have to keep playing to stay good at it.....its not like a singing voice where you can just sing anytime and anywhere....if there is no piano around this guy how will he practice and keep playing well.....he'll probably stuck playing the same thing just based on muscle memory.....
@@donovans6472 I'm sure most people aren't thinking that when they see him, I think they're surprised that a homeless person isn't entirely worthless and without talent or skill.
Help him find his son , build him a house , this guy severed our country & has hard times , loosing his wife & not seeing his son ( he deserves a chance 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇱🇷 ( thanks to him & all that’s done it
What a sad story to see. This man needs our help. Not because he can play the piano really well but because he is a human being and a former Marine who gave a lot to us!
Once a Marine ALWAYS a Marine. It's an embarrassing shame how our government doesn't do enough for these men and women. They should have free housing, medical and Job placement!
But instead of taking care of our veterans, Biden wants to give illegals $450k each!!!! If we have that much money, give each vet the $450k. This is OUR money, paid by hard working American taxpayers.
@@margaretlusk5556 Here we go again singling people out. This has always been a problem in America, it’s not all of a sudden become an issue since Biden became president.
Beautiful piano playing. He's a kind soul, who had lost his wife, son and his way. It's so heart breaking. What the HELL is wrong with us, is everything just a throw away.
The truth is the more medals you see on someone's costume demonstrates just how many times that soulless little cant was willing to sell his or her soul THAT IS ALL .
I hope everyone watching this sees that every person has a soul and value. People forget the humanity of the homeless until we see something that connects us to them.

This man,,any man or woman that offers their life to defend our freedom (no matter your country) should NEVER be left without anything..Their country owes them and should never forget them any day or any year....November 11th is but one day...They fought for us EVERY day and still do...This is where the governments fail.. "fight for us you're the greatest hero...come home and you're forgotten"..Disgusting
Yes👏 It’s a shame!
Welcome to reality
he's serving his country,but his country doesn't serve him back i think.because of stupid politics may be
It's a shame our government has so much to wasted on war but nothing to save a man like this one with his beautiful talent
Joey's mother sorry mate but it is
soirilien st hilaire more like they waste money on illegals and not our homeless.
spaceman1980 its actually not
soirilien st hilaire Its as a shame the Government would rather spend our tax dollars on illegals , than those who served. Where's the love and repect? 2015
your government better then Indian government.

WHY....WHY is this HERO homeless? He's a marine and just like that he should have a home! That's messed up that our country doesn't care. What a beautiful gift he has. God bless 🙏
Democrats don't care*
@@mikedamacenos this HAS to change......😢
It seems that's what happens when a lot of your money goes to buying drugs.
The Marines should make a living barracks for ex-soldiers so at least they have a place.
@@nyrockchicxx they should let them go on any of the bases and stay there right... something is better than nothing
Ex Marines dont exist. Once a Marine always a Marine.
Cowboy Curtis have a little respect man
Cowboy Curtis obviously you have unreasonable hate towards military. Thats cool i get it. But some people go as a choice man. I loved highschool.. english and history were my best subjects.
Cowboy Curtis i agree he's those things but i just feel like when a man earns that awesome title of Marine, it should stay with him forever
Cowboy Curtis those things have nothing to do with being a marine, you’re just venting your anger and putting aside logic. You can’t compare earning the title of marine and being stripped of your title as a Doctor because of medical malpractice... come on, even a middle schooler can see that.
Homeless marines exist. Period.
Seriously, the VA should be taking care of him. They need to reach out to him.
EarMode he is like most of us i was also in the corp we see our friends go to
the va for help and a lot of times the va makes matters worse they killed three of my best friends with toxic pill cocktails before they hit 40
steven chamberlain Yeap helped kill my Dad with medication changes. I’m also A Marine served 82-86 Camp LeJeune was a 3521.
If he was Excommunicated like the title says then I don't believe that the VA will treat him. If he's a FORMER Marine, they have a duty to help him.
EarMode they should be taking care of all veterans. Not just ones that play piano.
Agreed. They certainly take care of me after serving 21 years in the Army. My body is broken.
What talent. No one who served our country should be homeless. NO ONE ! !
An Ex-Marine deserves a Home. He deserves a truly life, as each one of us.
@bosco;hi
@@smitheric6038 hey, he plays good
As a Marine myself, let me correct you "Inside Edition" on a common mistake. There's no such thing as a "Former" nor an "Ex" Marine. There's Marines, & Marine veterans.
Cowboy Curtis If someone has the commitment to complete a term of service as a Marine instead of entering into college just to pay off a debt for the next 20 years, I would respect the former more than the latter.
Cowboy Curtis Surprising as it may seem to you, public education isn't part of a wonderful dreamland where everyone has a choice to be perfect in every way. If your path is destined for failure, it is better to take advantage of the life that does not make you a slave to an educational system that didn't really do you much good.
Cowboy Curtis, it appears your "so called" education, hasn't remedied your ignorance. I "chose" to serve my country. Not due to a lack of options as you so claim. I attended college before I went into the Marine Corps. However, liberals, millennials, & people such as yourself, wouldn't understand the reasons for serving ones country & fellow man. You know I find it odd, you call me dumb, yet you call yourself Cowboy Curtis. Look up what cowboy means. Then talk to me about dumb. Stop & think about what you say, before you say it. It'll relieve the pain of removing your foot out of your mouth.

"ONCE A MARINE ALWAYS A MARINE" OOh-RAH
This fellow Marine has a gift. God Bless Him.
What an amazing man. It must be hard going from being a marine, husband and father to homeless. I hope someone gives him another chance and he gets a bit of comfort in his life. And keep up the piano playing. Sooooooo amazing
No one who served shou be homeless in the country he/she served... especially if that country is the US... there's something very wrong here.😠🇨🇦
That's the US alright

@SDWS JASALSACS homelessness is a choice? Why would you make such a choice?
@@adamjackson2955 Some people just prefer to live a life unmoored from the rest of the world. I used to volunteer at a homeless shelter and there were definitely more than a few clients who had zero desire to take advantage of our services to help them find permanent housing.

This man might be many things, but he is NOT an "ex Marine"! Once a Marine, always a Marine. Sir, Thank you for your service. Welcome Home!
? WTF ? Welcome home? You're proud of this? What is wrong with you?
Welcome home he says. Pretty much the mindset of the dumbed down masses.
Who knows what he is. If we've learned anything about the internet, it should be that viral videos only tell half the story and the news media fills in the other half with whatever will get the most views. Maybe this story is true, but I have absolutely no reason to believe it is.
GOD BLESS YOU , well said 👍👍

No I don't but take into consideration that drugs can be addicting and he might of gotten addicted to them

No one should be homeless
Lenny The Troller that's true but a Marine (and other service personnel) was willing to give his/her life for America and America isn't willing to help them when they need it
Galactic Fox Gaming well we pay taxes 😂
Well they serviced, they risked their life for you. Also they paid taxes when they had a job so..
Shay Exactly! Some people just don’t understand.
No u.s. soldier should ever be homeless ever. I pray that he finds his son and way back on his feet.
BRO, Amen..... its insane and such a shame
How bout try some research on him he good now
@@chizurumizuhara6523 fr?
Amen!
I agree but a "soldier" is what you call someone in the army. It's specific to the army. A marine is a marine. Although they're sometimes referred to as jarheads.
This is proof that poverty unnoticed leads to a loss of talent
Hope this guy finds his son!☺
His son probably wants nothing to do with him
Nick Butta
Yes. Imagine what people could accomplish if we weren't in constant survival mode.
I carry with me information that could save the world but without a platform it is worthless. Evil runs the planet.
Carl sagan talked about this many years ago.
P North what caused him to take this drugs? Hmm, possibly PTSD, which is caused by going into war
Breathtaking! I only pray that our government will it together and help our veterans the way that they have helped us. Give them homes and get them off the streets.
It's sad this man served our country and isn't getting housing assistance. Poor guy looks 70, I hope he's ok and off the streets.
Not to worry, the police beat him to death in a bus depot not long after this was taped.

Very honest word
Sometimes a step, sometimes 100 miles.. Just don't judge!
Nope.... I can def judge without any of that .
If society ran by this philosophy...we would have no laws or justice.
That's a shame that a veteran that fought for our country has to be so much treated as if he wasn't even recognize as a man who served our country that the veteran would not put him in a house of his own
That right Linda
This is actually sad. What if the 18 year old son never found him and the old man died.
DarkNontix I'm crying and this is so sad he doesn't care if he is homeless he just wants to make people happy, and that's what makes him happy....
A how?

DarkNontix alot of reasons to became depressed and fall apart...but he'll came back to normal life by the grace of God.

hes a marine and doesnt have a house yet refugees come into countries where they get everything handed on a plate to them.. hmm me thinks people got something wrong there... ty for my freedom sir
He him self didn't give you freedom

Refugees come from war torn countries and with several love ones dead marines deserve housing but so do refugees
Muhammad Aadam Marines deserve housing even more. They protect the family and your loved ones.
Muhammad Aadam no refugees don’t deserve housing
Hopefully Veterans Affairs has helped him by now. He deserves a home like any human being.
help from Veterans Affairs yeah right they rather do nothing and get paid the same if they helped someone, so which do you think they would choose
Not all Veterans want help. Some actually choose to be homeless although they receive benefit checks the drugs get the best of them and they don't want to get clean.
@@hydrazombie ass

This makes me so mad thinking this man is homeless! No and I mean no veteran should ever be homeless.
Hello dear Dorothy
Very sad that we can't get help for the drug problem our veterans and others have. Other than jail, that doesn't work!
Veterans should be first and foremost to receive benefits entitled to them . Here in America? That’s outrageous..
The Americans enjoy doing this to their own people. They think it's funny. In more family-oriented societies, they don't abandon their men.
Was.. he isn’t now and has since recorded an album and reunited with his son
Why is everyone so surprised when a homeless person is good at something? Homeless people lived a normal life at one point in time, they had hobbies and interests just like everyone else.
Jeremy Staples it’s hard playing a piano bruv.
@@reavers4129 a lot of people play instruments, he just happens to be homeless.
Amen! 🙏🏼🤙🏽
@jeremy staples ....to be homeless and still maintain your piano skills is impressive....a piano is physical instrument that you have to keep playing to stay good at it.....its not like a singing voice where you can just sing anytime and anywhere....if there is no piano around this guy how will he practice and keep playing well.....he'll probably stuck playing the same thing just based on muscle memory.....
@@donovans6472 I'm sure most people aren't thinking that when they see him, I think they're surprised that a homeless person isn't entirely worthless and without talent or skill.

@@margaretlusk5556 Here we go again singling people out. This has always been a problem in America, it’s not all of a sudden become an issue since Biden became president.

Sad isnt it Tim.
I pray that someone or group will help him very soon .
He plays so beautiful. A shame none of our veterans should ever be homeless.
Why do SOLDiers get medals ?
Because the MAN knows SHINNY SHINNY will do 😆 .
The truth is the more medals you see on someone's costume demonstrates just how many times that soulless little cant was willing to sell his or her soul THAT IS ALL .
America help that man he was your hero.i salute you soldier....dont let him die a homeless...rescue that wounded soldier of yours.
I hope everyone watching this sees that every person has a soul and value. People forget the humanity of the homeless until we see something that connects us to them.
