The pain, the sadness, yet a slight sense of relief and kindness. Kindness does not signify weakness. No truer is that fact than in the mortuary services. Soldiers who go out of their way to see to it that the fallen find their way home truly are a rare and noble breed.
In this case a marine, not a soldier, but that's okay. It's offensive to call a marine a soldier. You can call them service members of the United States Armed Forces if you're referring to all veterans like this fine young marine and gentleman. I'm telling you this so you won't be screamed at or criticized by others on the internet. R.I.P to all who lost they're lives in all branches of the US military and those who can't be with us today. (Hand Salute*) /)(o_o) OOH RAH! Semper Fi!
@Duffelbag Drag Fu^k off. Sadly, the US has turned into yet another corrupt banana republic. I made that comment two years ago (with a different screen name and icon) at a time when I still believed in my country. Now the country is run by a senile old puppet and every three letter department has been weaponized against the American people. You probably don't know that in the so-called "Infrastructure" bill that was just passed, Congress approved the funding and hiring of 87,000 more IRS agents.
Talking shit about our armed forces is pathetic....say what you want behind your keyboards but I highly doubt you would say shit to any of these young men or women’s faces....pussies.
I'm from the UK and served in the military some time ago and I have to say this video bought tears to my eyes. Here is someone who is so dedicated to his job and the tasks that he's required to carry out. I salute you, your dedication and your uniform. 🇬🇧💓🇺🇸
This is a compassionate man who has a calling to do his job. These Marines deserve such a person to prepare their bodies for burial. They've earned it. God bless you L/Cpl.
You're right. They only ask one thing of us ... a proper burial .... and it's our job to see to it that they get it. I had had less than 3 hours sleep in as many days when I preached my fathers funeral sermon. By the grace of God, i was given the strength of character to get it done as if I was a well-rested stranger. My father did NOT love me ... but I loved him ... so I got it done.
Burying a loved one is always hard. One of the most moving things I have ever witnessed was the USMC Honor guard that came to bury my Uncle Tommy. 98 degrees with 80% humidity in full dress uniform and never so much as moved to wipe the sweat.
My Great Uncle was at D-Day as an Army Tank Commander, and the Honor Guard that came to his burial was the same. Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force, Coast Guard, they take care of not only their own, but all of us. God bless every warrior hero who serves and has served.
@@travis6694 i respect that move as i was a Soldier too. However, under todays politicians of Any party i would never . Most wars are now "banking ideas". Please also respect that comment. Ive learned this in my 45years. Most All U.S. wars were Not to benefit country NOR COUNTRYMEN✌🌐 . ..id say since ww2. Even w i joined , was another BULLSHIT war. Then again , as Soldiers we cannot pick our fights , nor our leaders . Its a sick sacrifice all the way around. God Bless You and Yours Brother 🇺🇸
DOUBLE ZERO yeah, the coast guard is the route I am going. Coming from a poor family o have the opportunity to get free education and hopefully learning medical so I can take it with me when I get out.
This is one job that requires a Marine Marine. We honor our fallen Marines every day of our lives until we ourselves join them at the pearly gates for our guard duty. Semper Fi to all our Marines.
I've spoken to fellow Marines over the years and when I've asked "what did you do in the Corps?" Many responses are "just a cook", "just a POG". I have to remind them that Marines are never "just a". This Marine has been gifted an incredible job in the Corps. Hopefully the words "just a" never part his lips. Semper Fi Lance Corporal/ Hopefully Corporal.
Informed American that's sad. as a marine i never said i was just in intelligence. my final mos was 0241. and i say that proudly. imagery analyst. oohh raahh.

The Marine Corps has a strong bond that makes the Marine Corps one of a kind. A bond only Marines and their family's truly understand. That's why I love the Marine Corps . -Semper Fidelis
That is one dedicated marine, thank you for taking care of those who sacrifice everything, to take care of our way of life, our families, our nation. God bless all that serve and their families.
Son, I don’t know you but let me tell you something if I could. You are a wonderful kid, a honorable man and if you were my son I would be beaming with pride because of the dedication and respect you give to the job but mostly the respect and love you show the families that are suffering such a loss. I know that loss son, I lost my youngest child just over 3 yrs ago. It hurts something terrible because as a parent , we are not wired to outlive our kids. Anyway , I just wanted to say THANK YOU for a job well done and a job done with such pride. You are a proud Marine and the country applauds you each time you perform your duty. Not many men or woman could do your job. Thank you again from my heart to yours. EPK 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✌🏻
When he started talking about the fallen marines with his story about being invited to the memorial personally, you can hear him choke up. Thank you lance corporal, and all of the people who protect me and my own.
salute from Malaysia. our countries were saved by Allied servicemen in WW2, Korean War and Vietnam war. A debt that we cannot repay. Thank you very much
As a Retired Airmen, This swelled me with emotions and Pride. I have always been proud of my Brother Service Branches and this is why. Yes, it made me shed a tear as well.
God bless you for caring for our falled with such respect and dignity. My father was wounded several times in battle in WWII. After his third time badly wounded he was reassigned to mortuary services. He took that assignment very seriously. With respect. 🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
The US Marines are not just well known for their awesome fighting capabilities. They are also known for their incredible pride in their history, their traditions and their dedication to each and every man and woman in the corps. This is what connects past to present members of the Corp and why they are so great. Semper Fi.
All Marines are a different breed of Warrior. But for Mortuary and Body Bearer Marines, that takes the strongest hearts out there. Much Love from just another Civvie.
This video went straight thru the heart. As a former Lance Corporal 2nd Commando Company, 3rd Platoon, Brazilian Army, "Jungle Boot - Snake Sh*t", I send you my salute!!!
Has a son of a Vietnam Marine who's getting ready to kick the bucket not alot of people show my pops respect but I'm glad to know you will thanks for your service and dedication to the Corp men like you make me believe in the good in people
The Marines serviced my dad's funeral with full honors. I have to say out of all of the branches I've seen at the cemetery they have stood above the rest. It was what my dad would have wanted. They did him proud.
I as well thank you a mother of 2 Marines and a grandson. I was fortunate to have my loved ones come home alive. Thank you for the love n care and respect you provide for the rest of my family who didnt
Mom of 2 Marines and 2 AF each 20 yrs each. THIS IS MY MOST LOVED VIDEO. THE FAMILES THANK YOU. I LIVE NEAR Camp Lejuene and I am at Topsail Island and I feel blessed to be near these Marine.
Along with the body bearers! How do you ever THANK OUR MILITARY FOR ALL THE JOBS THEY DO? I praise them and thank them, but words are never enough for the sacrifices, honor, integrity, love, self-sacrifice, duty, selflessness, among so many other words to describe these men and women in any position they hold!
What a heartbreaking job. Those are his people. He must have nerves of steel. I know that Marines are tough, and trained to become tougher but If I were him, I wouldn’t be able to hold it together.
Good Lord I dont envy these Marines at all what a tough tough job the mortuary personnel (professionals) have...deceased Marine plus the Family at their time of loss has to be hard.
I was active in 3rd MAW back in the days of some of these young Marines dads and granddads, but I consider these Marines to be my Brothers. United States Marine Corps. Semper Fidelis.
I have two very dear friends both marines as well as myself they both worked with me when we were on active duty and my oldest daughter babysat their kids. Their son is currently on active duty to become a warrant officer when he graduated boot camp his mom told "You are my son and now you are my brother" think that says it all. Semper Fi to all my brothers and sisters whether u a marine or not from an old retired Marine MSGT
im australian & my late father was a Royal Australian Navy Officer who put his life on hold for all of us in WW2. you sound like him, i hear your emotions in your voice just like he did. all the fallen deserve to have honorable send off's. god bless you sir
Back in the 90's I was the senior member of a burial detail for a retired MSgt. He served from 1950 to 1970. When we arrived at the funeral home prior to the service. I alerted the funeral home staff the MSgt's EGAs were incorrect and the anchors must be pointed inboard. "Is it that important to disturb the body in order to make the change"? I said I'm sure the MSgt would not want to be viewed in his uniform while it was incorrect. We were asked to leave the area while they made the correction. When the service started the MSgt was squared away.
My Father is a Marine. To make a long story short. A young man who had consulted with my father became a marine. Years later when my father passed. This young man drove 14 hours to be at my fathers grave side. I am brought to tears every time I relay the story and am tearing up now. Thank you Mark Badgley.
This has got to be the most appreciated jobs by soldiers. To know that your crew have your back is one thing. To know that on your death no matter what your body is going to be cared for with the deepest and sincerest respect has got to be a blessing. All credit to the mortuary marines and bearers for their excellence.
Marines take care of their own. A sublime understatement. I am an airline pilot. Former Air Force. Although I have never had the honor of transporting service member's remains, I have witnessed this happen and it is a solemn and emotional ceremony. I have had the honor of taking wounded soldiers, sailors and Marines to and from their rehabilitation hospitals in San Antonio and Washington DC. Every one of them is escorted to, and picked up from the aircraft by an active duty escort. It is amazing to see, the brotherhood runs deep. Thank you all for your sacrifice, thank you for protecting our nation, our way of life. Thank you for your service!
I hope and pray that one day my son will never get to meet you. If he has to, I would be very proud of you taking care of him. God bless the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. God bless all the men and women that are there today to take the place of their fallen comrade. 🇺🇸 Semper Fi
I salute you sir. You make their final destination, more bearable for those that are left behind. You are a true marine, and a patriot. Those families were fortunate to have you, attend to their fallen.
Sir, Thank you for your service to our special service men and their families! You should be very proud! This position calls for a very special person, you! I love you! My dad passed lately doing his time as lieutenant kernel. I miss him with all my heart!
So sad yet so vital for the families last memories of their fallen loved one. This is one job l hope he never needs to do in the future. May our fallen rest in peace forevermore.
As an Airman, in the USAF, I was stationed at Dovver AFB and had the blessed opportunity to serve as a Body Escort for a fallen Airman who had lost his life in an automobile accident in Germany. I have to say that those who serve at the Port Mortuary, at Dover AFB, and I must say that they are all professional beyond professional. Much love and thanks to all of them!!!!
This is one job I don't think I could have done. In a deployed unit you can possibly see a few lost here or there, these guys see all of them. Semper Fi young man.
It's not all wine, roses, and glory. It sounds like a hard job, but someone has to do it. Thank you, LCpl Beaty, for your service, and Happy Birthday, Devil Dog!
You can hear that this matters to him, it's no act or simple job. It matters because they are his brothers and sisters and he looks after family. From a Royal Marine I say, well done brother, good effort. I hope you and yours are safe and well.

As an Airman, in the USAF, I was stationed at Dovver AFB and had the blessed opportunity to serve as a Body Escort for a fallen Airman who had lost his life in an automobile accident in Germany. I have to say that those who serve at the Port Mortuary, at Dover AFB, and I must say that they are all professional beyond professional. Much love and thanks to all of them!!!!
Amen.
This is one job I don't think I could have done. In a deployed unit you can possibly see a few lost here or there, these guys see all of them. Semper Fi young man.
It's not all wine, roses, and glory. It sounds like a hard job, but someone has to do it. Thank you, LCpl Beaty, for your service, and Happy Birthday, Devil Dog!
A position that requires a good heart and soul. Thank you for what you do.....
You can hear that this matters to him, it's no act or simple job. It matters because they are his brothers and sisters and he looks after family.
From a Royal Marine I say, well done brother, good effort. I hope you and yours are safe and well.
Thank you ! For protecting your own.
Military first, honor 🇺🇸
