There was a poem I once read in a book. I think an excerpt of it is fitting here: For the sake of thee I stood my ground For the sake of thee I bore the sound Of bullets as they whistled past And each one sang "All flesh is grass" ‘Ere long one came and laid me low And falling as I felt the blow As I laid, that’s all I know I might have lived 10,000 days I could have died a thousand ways But for thy sake, I chose THIS way. It may not be exact, I’m doing it from memory. I read the book several years ago, but the sentiment is there. I have nothing but respect for our military and their families.
to all the children and families, Thank you is not enough. May God bless and keep you in His amazing love. For greater love has no one, than this, to lay down their lives for a friend.
This was a part of the Snowball Express, put on by the Gary Sinise Foundation and American Airlines. They do it every year and have been for a few years now. A very positive activity that has been disrupted by the COVID-19 problems.

@wweebb uusseerr you do realize you can be patriotic and not support the wars right? I'm proud of my country for other things and don't support the wars at all ya know? Being proud doesn't mean being brainwashed, it just means recognizing the good and then (hopefully) working on fixing the bad. The U.S. gov has started to pull troops out if the middle east.

There is a simple thing we Ukrainians say for our fallen heroes and since we are here in the US Diaspora its appropriate. Slava Heroyam (Glory to the Heroes) and may God keep His hand on the children and protect them.

This is so beautiful, I have tears just streaming down my eyes. I'm thinking of my Father and My Grandfather, and my own Sons as I hear this. Bless those children and the families of the Soldiers that have Fallen. R.I.P.
It's up to US Americans to watch over these children and provide for them whatever they need (e.g., mortgage assistance, free college, etc.) to so that they can reach their full potential and hopefully find peace. It's our obligation.
I have witnessed this scene many times: it’s heartbreaking; I’ve also loaded and offloaded planes with fallen soldiers; to see the family approaching the casket draped with an American flag, I always cry. My dad was a Navy veteran and proudly served.
Thank You Nashville Int'nl Airport, for honoring my children, the way you did. It's nice to see that some people, are still grateful for the price, that must be paid for freedom
This story warms my heart. Besides my current family. I'm the last one alive from the family of four I grew up in. I lost my mom in 1989 and my dad in1991. My little sister died at age 56 on December 28th, 2017. I also sympathize with those who lost loved ones. It can be painful emotions.
While Americans are turning their backs on GOD, HE still remains watching over us. We need HIS presence to once again flood our nation, restore respect and loyalty to the very foundations of this once great country.
This is amazing I can't believe there are dislikes of this post. These people died to keep you safe. God Bless our Military we have no idea what they have had to do and see to keep us free. We can't imagine what their families loss is doing to them. I pray for them and am ashamed of the people who disliked this post.
I CRIED DURING THE WORDS OF THIS VIDEO AND THE SCENES OF WHAT AMERICAN AIRLINES DID FOR THOSE HEARTBROKEN CHILDREN THAT HAD LOST A PARENT IN THE LINE OF DUTY IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. YES, OUR MILITARY (OF WHICH I COME FROM A LONG LINE OF THOSE IN UNIFORM AND AM SO VERY PROUD OF EACH ONE OF THEM, INCLUDING MY PARENTS, MY BROTHER, MY BROTHER-IN-LAW, MY HUSBAND, MY DECEASED UNCLE WHO DIED IN SERVING HIS COUNTRY, MY COUSIN IN THE MARINES, ETC,) DO SERVE OUR COUNTRY, OF WHICH WE SOMETIMES SADLY DO NOT APPRECIATE AND DO NOT HONOR THEM AS WE SHOULD HAVE (VIETNAM VETS WERE SO HORRIBLY TREATED UPON ARRIVAL FROM THEIR DEPLOYMENT) AND SADLY, WHEN THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IS PLAYED OR SUNG, I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE AROUND ME TALKING AND LAUGHING AND I CAN'T HELP BUT STARE AT THEM, WITH A LOOK OF "DO YOU NOT CARE AT ALL FOR WHAT OUR COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON, OUR MILITARY HAS SACRIFICED THEIR BLOOD FOR THOSE SOLDIERS AND MARINES WHO WERE CALLED TO SERVE AND PROTECT OTHERS IN A FOREIGN LAND, JUST BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT OUR MILITARY DOES." MOST OF THE TIME THOSE TALKING OR LAUGHING WILL STOP FOR AWHILE AT LEAST. YES, OUR COUNTRY IS SO DIVIDED, SADLY IT IS SO HEARTBREAKING. BUT I BELIEVE IN THE END, LIGHTNESS WILL PREVAIL AND DARKNESS WILL NEVER WIN. IT IS WRITTEN SO~~~I AM SO PROUD OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT UNDERSTOOD HOW PRECIOUS THOSE WHO GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE AND ALSO THE PROFOUND EFFECT WILL REMAIN WITH THEIR CHILDREN ALWAYS. THIS IS WHEN SOCIAL MEDIA IS SO VERY POSITIVE AND GOOD, WHEN OTHERS REACH OUT TO SHARE SOMETHING SO VERY HEARTWARMING AND OVERWHELMING~~TO SEE THE ENTIRE SCENE IN THE EYES OF THE YOUNG CHILDREN. THANKS AGAIN, AMERICAN AIRLINES FOR THIS WONDERFUL GIFT TO TAKE THE CHILDREN TO DISNEY. THANK YOU TO OUR MEN AND WOMEN THAT GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY, FOR THE FREEDOM OF OTHERS. MAY WE NEVER FORGET! SEMPER FI~~
I think it was wonderful to honor these family members and the memory of those fallen Heros. I would have much preferred hearing the Anthem and to see the reactions of the family members, bystanders and the public. I felt the video narrative was to long and we didn't get the excirement of the musicians Honor Guard, or the families and friends. Thanks to Ameican Airlines, and airport personnel for bringing this about. This is a memory these children an family members, wll carry for life. God Bless them all and God Bless America.
@tinwoods you really have no idea what's going on do you. both your points are lies and it's not hard to find the evidence which proves they're lies. if people want to hate trump they are allowed to, but stick to the facts.
This was so wonderful and heart touching so very sweet that the airline did this. I am so thankful for our soldiers and veterans for all they did and gave for America.
@wweebb uusseerr first off, don't ruin this nice comment. Second, as someone who moved to the U.S. I can tell you they aren't as ignorant as the stereotype says. Almost all schools teach them about the U.S. flaws extensively and no one thinks they are the best. You can be proud if your country and not be the best
@wweebb uusseerr I just said I moved to the US, I know what there education is like, I LIVED AND LEARNED IT. It's not the worst education, it's just one of the worst on a highschool level in the first world. Also, the US literally has some of the Top colleges in the world. The reason highschool education sucks however is because the government doesn't control your education (so we can't be brainwashed) the states do. However, sadly, with states controlling them they also don't get as much funding as if it was run by the federal gov
@wweebb uusseerr dude, I'm someone who lives here and moved here. You literally aren't listening to what I'm saying, schools are state run. In regards to the military which isn't even a part of this petitions all across the US have been brought up to lower military funding. You do realize people can disagree with there government right? Also, what do you mean a US bachelor's is worth nothing? I literally got a bachelor's in psychology here and have been offered jobs across seas many times. You act like every decision the government makes we agree with. Incase this last year has shown anything, it's the dead opposite
God bless each one! Our country is coming back together as we enter a time of great decision. Americans must stand as one to keep our country free. We welcome Gos into our hearts. Praise the Lord!
I Can Not express the amount of grattude towards our Military And civilian Police population for what they do And for what they've Done And Sacrificed. My Heart goes Out To All
Christine S I am 77 years old and a Vietnam vet. I returned home in September 1969 after 12 month tour of duty in Cam Rahn Bay, Vietnam. When I found out I was being sent there I sat down and wrote my wife that (LORD WILLING) I would be coming home in 12 months. I was being sent to a huge supply depot and not the Boonies with the infantry. My father was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and spent the rest of the war in Stalag 4B in Germany. My father weighed about 85 lbs. when they were saved by the UNITED STATES 3RD ARMY. My father was my Hero to me. The Greatest military the world has ever seen. Everyone who serves our military may at any time loose their life while serving. In or out of war. When I came home there were no parades for us and no love except from our friends and relatives. We were taken from the airport at Seattle to a large wear house where we changed out of our military clothes to civilian clothes. This allowed us to blend in with the public. Today I am praying for our President and our First Lady’s speedy recovery. I really do. But that is God given enabling right granted to us through our Constitution. This time maybe you should consider the roll of our military and how important it is for a President to be passionate about our military and country. I am glad you have your hope restored in our country. At this time our leadership hates all our FORMER ALLIES except Turkey and loves Russia and putin. I personally still love them, our allies. Can you speak 🗣 Russian? My partner and I spent about 2 months working with our Russian business partners in 1993 and 1994. Needless to say we were introduced to them through the University of Tulsa where we took a basic Russian course.
@@victorholleymanii6723 Very inspiring story, Victor. I am old enough to remember how the country treated VN vets and I didn't like it at the time. Not sure what you're getting at with our "former allies" comment. We haven't lost any allies but alot of our EU allies are not happy with our President because he calls them out on their BS, and there is much to call out on there. Plus, they are globalists and hate it that Trump is in office because he is not. Thank God!
Outstanding!!!! In this day and time--what a wonderful thing for everyone in the airport to come together and sing the National Anthem. Amazing for the Airline sending these kids who have lost a parent in the US Military to Disney World!!! You won't see this on Capitol Hill!!!! God Bless all who were a part of this heart rendering moment!!!!
I’m so glad to live in a country that honors those in the military and the loved ones of those fallen in the name of freedom. In today’s times we often forget about the people who sacrifice so much. My heart goes out to those tots.❤️
You always think of the fallen horeo's who have made America great , but if we are honest before God , how many of us think about the children that have lost a parent , or worst still , both parents ? , i'm ashamed to say , i for one have never thought of the children
There are just not enough words to say thanks to these families that have paid the ultimate price for the freedom we all enjoy. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!
As a two year Vietnam,it does me good to see Americans show respect to these kids who lost parents in a conflict,when we came home the country didn’t want anything to do with us,thank God for these folks who showed they cared,Got Bless American
That is awesome it is one of the best things I,ve heard in a long time I,m Aussie and I,d like to take off my hat to the American service men and women who stood with my dad in defence of Australia during WWII I just watched a history vid of the Battle of the Coral Sea .I,ve tried to find out a decent history of it for years now I know how close we came to being invaded SO THANKYOU BUT THANKYOU ALSO for the responce to those kid,s that is truly awesome God Bless you.!!!!!!!
Only in America. That's what makes America great btw. You keep asking what's so great about the US? Things like this. Unity. Not division. Not hatred for the police, military, military families ffs!
Wow how beautiful and moving. I love our God, country, family and our military. Oh and Gary Sinese is one helluva patriot. Thank you Mr. Sinese. I am proud to be and American!
What a beautiful heartwarming story.All those children I hope had a wonderful day at Disneyland and if only for a moment all their sadness was gone it would have been worth it.God Bless Northwest Airlines for doing something like this. Signed:Tom Brennan.
I’m sorry for the children who had lost a parent or relative. It truly showed much respect for the family & the deceased for the entire airport to stop & Stand at attention, saluted. I too salute the family & the deceased everywhere. Elaine M. Smith.
Oh yes this is America I know! Thank you God for blessing America and to all the family that have lost their loved ones fighting for us in the ones that are serving in our military thank you thank you God bless
@@maryann1531 no thank you, for supporting our great military. It means a lot to me. Here's a story what happened to me. I was a United States Marine serving on Okinawa when Saigon fell to the Communist North Vietnamese back in April 1975. Fast forward to September 1975, myself and 3 other Marines were at the LA airport waiting for flights to Camp LeJeune, NC. As we were walking around the airport, of course in our uniforms, 5 civilian guys in their 20s like us, called us "Baby Killers" now this was 5 months after South Vietnam fell to the Communist North. Well being Marines we got in their face. We thought 3 Marines against 5 civilians, no problem. We reminded them we did not kill babies. They backed down and ran off. To be honest that has hurt for years. In the past few years people like you have thanked me for serving OUR great Nation. In my heart I have forgiven those 5 guys for calling me and my Marine buddies "Baby Killers." But to be honest the pain is still there. Now military personnel returning from Vietnam (65-72) faced this a lot more than me. Again thank you so much, one favor, if you see a Vietnam Veteran thank him or her for their service. Stay safe and greetings from Charleston, West Virginia, Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.
THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME EXTREMELY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! WE SHOULD ALWAYS HONOR OUR MILITARY AND THEIR FAMILIES FOR SUCH SACRIFICES FOR ALL OF US!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As a Nashville native, I'm proud to say that this does not surprise me at all. That perfectly fits the respectful, God-fearing, southern hospitality nature of our town. The only things that have changed some of that in recent years are the large numbers moving here from places like California and New York, and sadly they bring tremendous rudeness and selfishness with them. But, what you see in this video is very typical of people here. Thank you for posting this.
I'm from California, born and raised, and after having traveled throughout America, I don't believe that our citizens here are any more rude than those in other states. In all states, some are gracious and polite, and some are... well, not. I've not traveled to New York, Louisiana, Alaska, Maine... the one state that did stand out as having the nicest people, imo, was Hawaii. Man, those people were laid-back and accommodating. Just really nice people. Canada had really nice people as well. Anyway, every state (and country) has rude people and nice people.
@@pameladamaris9213 You're correct to an extent, but what I said is also true. I've been to every state in the lower 48, and I've lived in various places. But, having lived in Nashville the longest (the last 34 years), there has been a very clear and dramatic shift away from politeness, especially in the way people drive, as flocks and flocks of people have poured into the area from other states. So, what I said earlier is absolutely true, and I've watched it happen with my own eyes. But yes, what you said is also partially true. There are certainly kind people in each state. Have a good one.
Thank you AA for doing this for the children that have lost a mom or dad protecting all of us from evil and it shows ther are still good people out there to stop and show respect to these kid's and there father or mother that gave all for this country Thanks 🙏🌹🇺🇸🐰🇺🇸🌹🙏
This is a beautiful video & I thank you for sharing it. The respect shown to your son's remains were handled so respectfully and rightly so. But sadly most deceased service men & women don't receive the same. There was a local story here about how a service man's remains were transported from the plane via an actual baggage cart. People were rightfully upset but point is it should never have happened. Talk about being asleep at the wheel!
Omg, I have goosebumps. Maybe our world isn't as cruel ad it seems sometimes. There is still love and respect for our fellow man.....and child. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
I'm Canadian but hearing things like this is why I love Americans.
Stay strong and God bless you all.
As an American I just wanted to say, Thank You neighbor. 😘

There was a poem I once read in a book. I think an excerpt of it is fitting here:
For the sake of thee I stood my ground
For the sake of thee I bore the sound
Of bullets as they whistled past
And each one sang "All flesh is grass"
‘Ere long one came and laid me low
And falling as I felt the blow
As I laid, that’s all I know
I might have lived 10,000 days
I could have died a thousand ways
But for thy sake, I chose THIS way.
It may not be exact, I’m doing it from memory. I read the book several years ago, but the sentiment is there. I have nothing but respect for our military and their families.

This is so beautiful, I have tears just streaming down my eyes. I'm thinking of my Father and My Grandfather, and my own Sons as I hear this. Bless those children and the families of the Soldiers that have Fallen. R.I.P.
God Bless to the the ARMED FORCES AND THE FAMILIES.
What a tremendous tribute to our fallen for their service. God bless their families.
Please watch over these children who lost love ones and the ones that have parents serving in the service
It's up to US Americans to watch over these children and provide for them whatever they need (e.g., mortgage assistance, free college, etc.) to so that they can reach their full potential and hopefully find peace. It's our obligation.
What a really wonderful thing to do God bless you all
AMEN !
God Bless America. Forever. Amen.
I have witnessed this scene many times: it’s heartbreaking; I’ve also loaded and offloaded planes with fallen soldiers; to see the family approaching the casket draped with an American flag, I always cry. My dad was a Navy veteran and proudly served.
Thank You Nashville Int'nl Airport, for honoring my children, the way you did. It's nice to see that some people, are still grateful for the price, that must be paid for freedom
Its bullshit made up to get clicks never happened
@@barrysmith1651 I'll pray for you brother.
God bless us each and every one!
I love living in this great country. It has its quirks, but undoubtedly a wonderful place to live.
As an immigrant I couldn't agree more
It’s really good to hear a heart warming story.
This made me cry. I'm from UK
This story warms my heart. Besides my current family. I'm the last one alive from the family of four I grew up in. I lost my mom in 1989 and my dad in1991. My little sister died at age 56 on December 28th, 2017. I also sympathize with those who lost loved ones. It can be painful emotions.
God, Please Bless America. We still need You. And God Bless the Soldiers and their families!!!
While Americans are turning their backs on GOD, HE still remains watching over us. We need HIS presence to once again flood our nation, restore respect and loyalty to the very foundations of this once great country.
2 of my friends died so young they never got a chance to live a good life. Lets not forget those either.
This is amazing I can't believe there are dislikes of this post. These people died to keep you safe. God Bless our Military we have no idea what they have had to do and see to keep us free. We can't imagine what their families loss is doing to them. I pray for them and am ashamed of the people who disliked this post.
It is things like this that give me Hope! God Bless The USA! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I CRIED DURING THE WORDS OF THIS VIDEO AND THE SCENES OF WHAT AMERICAN AIRLINES DID FOR THOSE HEARTBROKEN CHILDREN THAT HAD LOST A PARENT IN THE LINE OF DUTY IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. YES, OUR MILITARY (OF WHICH I COME FROM A LONG LINE OF THOSE IN UNIFORM AND AM SO VERY PROUD OF EACH ONE OF THEM, INCLUDING MY PARENTS, MY BROTHER, MY BROTHER-IN-LAW, MY HUSBAND, MY DECEASED UNCLE WHO DIED IN SERVING HIS COUNTRY, MY COUSIN IN THE MARINES, ETC,) DO SERVE OUR COUNTRY, OF WHICH WE SOMETIMES SADLY DO NOT APPRECIATE AND DO NOT HONOR THEM AS WE SHOULD HAVE (VIETNAM VETS WERE SO HORRIBLY TREATED UPON ARRIVAL FROM THEIR DEPLOYMENT) AND SADLY, WHEN THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IS PLAYED OR SUNG, I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE AROUND ME TALKING AND LAUGHING AND I CAN'T HELP BUT STARE AT THEM, WITH A LOOK OF "DO YOU NOT CARE AT ALL FOR WHAT OUR COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON, OUR MILITARY HAS SACRIFICED THEIR BLOOD FOR THOSE SOLDIERS AND MARINES WHO WERE CALLED TO SERVE AND PROTECT OTHERS IN A FOREIGN LAND, JUST BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT OUR MILITARY DOES." MOST OF THE TIME THOSE TALKING OR LAUGHING WILL STOP FOR AWHILE AT LEAST. YES, OUR COUNTRY IS SO DIVIDED, SADLY IT IS SO HEARTBREAKING. BUT I BELIEVE IN THE END, LIGHTNESS WILL PREVAIL AND DARKNESS WILL NEVER WIN. IT IS WRITTEN SO~~~I AM SO PROUD OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT UNDERSTOOD HOW PRECIOUS THOSE WHO GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE AND ALSO THE PROFOUND EFFECT WILL REMAIN WITH THEIR CHILDREN ALWAYS. THIS IS WHEN SOCIAL MEDIA IS SO VERY POSITIVE AND GOOD, WHEN OTHERS REACH OUT TO SHARE SOMETHING SO VERY HEARTWARMING AND OVERWHELMING~~TO SEE THE ENTIRE SCENE IN THE EYES OF THE YOUNG CHILDREN. THANKS AGAIN, AMERICAN AIRLINES FOR THIS WONDERFUL GIFT TO TAKE THE CHILDREN TO DISNEY. THANK YOU TO OUR MEN AND WOMEN THAT GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY, FOR THE FREEDOM OF OTHERS. MAY WE NEVER FORGET! SEMPER FI~~
it is such an honor to be an american. god bless america, and god bless president trump.
I think it was wonderful to honor these family members and the memory of those fallen Heros. I would have much preferred hearing the Anthem and to see the reactions of the family members, bystanders and the public. I felt the video narrative was to long and we didn't get the excirement of the musicians Honor Guard, or the families and friends. Thanks to Ameican Airlines, and airport personnel for bringing this about. This is a memory these children an family members, wll carry for life. God Bless them all and God Bless America.
Amen Bob
@tinwoods you really have no idea what's going on do you. both your points are lies and it's not hard to find the evidence which proves they're lies. if people want to hate trump they are allowed to, but stick to the facts.
@tinwoods Taken out of context. You need to listen to the whole coversation. Maybe you should listen to Biden calling Military Personnel "Bastards".
God bless The USA and God Bless Presents Trump. Amen
This was so wonderful and heart touching so very sweet that the airline did this. I am so thankful for our soldiers and veterans for all they did and gave for America.
We are free because of the brave. Thank you for your service!
This is incredible‼️❤️
I have such a deep love for those who serve in our armed forces for us all. Yes they sacrifice for YOU.💕
God bless the USA🇺🇸🇺🇸💪
@wweebb uusseerr first off, don't ruin this nice comment. Second, as someone who moved to the U.S. I can tell you they aren't as ignorant as the stereotype says. Almost all schools teach them about the U.S. flaws extensively and no one thinks they are the best. You can be proud if your country and not be the best
@wweebb uusseerr I just said I moved to the US, I know what there education is like, I LIVED AND LEARNED IT. It's not the worst education, it's just one of the worst on a highschool level in the first world. Also, the US literally has some of the Top colleges in the world. The reason highschool education sucks however is because the government doesn't control your education (so we can't be brainwashed) the states do. However, sadly, with states controlling them they also don't get as much funding as if it was run by the federal gov
@wweebb uusseerr dude, I'm someone who lives here and moved here. You literally aren't listening to what I'm saying, schools are state run. In regards to the military which isn't even a part of this petitions all across the US have been brought up to lower military funding. You do realize people can disagree with there government right? Also, what do you mean a US bachelor's is worth nothing? I literally got a bachelor's in psychology here and have been offered jobs across seas many times. You act like every decision the government makes we agree with. Incase this last year has shown anything, it's the dead opposite
@Southeastern777 awww, thank you! Yeah, I definitely did get trolled. Hope you have a nice day!
Or... For a change... Add god bless every other country as they are all equal...
God bless each one! Our country is coming back together as we enter a time of great decision. Americans must stand as one to keep our country free. We welcome Gos into our hearts. Praise the Lord!
I Can Not express the amount of grattude towards our Military And civilian Police population for what they do And for what they've Done And Sacrificed. My Heart goes Out To All
This gives me hope that there are more people that still love this country than not. Vote in person! Trump 2020
Christine S I am 77 years old and a Vietnam vet. I returned home in September 1969 after 12 month tour of duty in Cam Rahn Bay, Vietnam. When I found out I was being sent there I sat down and wrote my wife that (LORD WILLING) I would be coming home in 12 months. I was being sent to a huge supply depot and not the Boonies with the infantry. My father was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and spent the rest of the war in Stalag 4B in Germany. My father weighed about 85 lbs. when they were saved by the UNITED STATES 3RD ARMY. My father was my Hero to me. The Greatest military the world has ever seen. Everyone who serves our military may at any time loose their life while serving. In or out of war. When I came home there were no parades for us and no love except from our friends and relatives. We were taken from the airport at Seattle to a large wear house where we changed out of our military clothes to civilian clothes. This allowed us to blend in with the public. Today I am praying for our President and our First Lady’s speedy recovery. I really do. But that is God given enabling right granted to us through our Constitution. This time maybe you should consider the roll of our military and how important it is for a President to be passionate about our military and country. I am glad you have your hope restored in our country. At this time our leadership hates all our FORMER ALLIES except Turkey and loves Russia and putin. I personally still love them, our allies. Can you speak 🗣 Russian? My partner and I spent about 2 months working with our Russian business partners in 1993 and 1994. Needless to say we were introduced to them through the University of Tulsa where we took a basic Russian course.
WildAl Mayhem ..........and you?

@@victorholleymanii6723 Very inspiring story, Victor. I am old enough to remember how the country treated VN vets and I didn't like it at the time. Not sure what you're getting at with our "former allies" comment. We haven't lost any allies but alot of our EU allies are not happy with our President because he calls them out on their BS, and there is much to call out on there. Plus, they are globalists and hate it that Trump is in office because he is not. Thank God!

God bless every one at that airport for the respect and honor they showed our heros, our flag and our country,,
Outstanding!!!! In this day and time--what a wonderful thing for everyone in the airport to come together and sing the National Anthem. Amazing for the Airline sending these kids who have lost a parent in the US Military to Disney World!!! You won't see this on Capitol Hill!!!! God Bless all who were a part of this heart rendering moment!!!!
Canada here,this is what I love 💕 about Americans we should learn how.
This is just one reason I’m so PROUD to be an AMERICAN. GOD bless our country and all who serve her!
True respect and patriotism! Maybe there is hope for our country. Never take a knee.
this is what are real america is..we must not ever lose this..stand up america..we got your back!!
Thank God there are actually some American's left in our great Country. God bless them all.
I’m so glad to live in a country that honors those in the military and the loved ones of those fallen in the name of freedom. In today’s times we often forget about the people who sacrifice so much. My heart goes out to those tots.❤️
Love, Gratitude & Respect to All Who Serve & Their Families! 🙏
We so desperately needed this Video
You always think of the fallen horeo's who have made America great , but if we are honest before God , how many of us think about the children that have lost a parent , or worst still , both parents ? , i'm ashamed to say , i for one have never thought of the children
There are just not enough words to say thanks to these families that have paid the ultimate price for the freedom we all enjoy. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!
A few moments where human greatness is seen. Miracles happen each day and this is a great example. 😎😎
God bless all our soldiers and veterans. God bless America 🇺🇸
Heartwarming story! God Bless America and all her patriots!
As a two year Vietnam,it does me good to see Americans show respect to these kids who lost parents in a conflict,when we came home the country didn’t want anything to do with us,thank God for these folks who showed they cared,Got Bless American
That is awesome it is one of the best things I,ve heard in a long time I,m Aussie and I,d like to take off my hat to the American service men and women who stood with my dad in defence of Australia during WWII I just watched a history vid of the Battle of the Coral Sea .I,ve tried to find out a decent history of it for years now I know how close we came to being invaded SO THANKYOU BUT THANKYOU ALSO for the responce to those kid,s that is truly awesome God Bless you.!!!!!!!
Only in America.
That's what makes America great btw.
You keep asking what's so great about the US?
Things like this. Unity.
Not division. Not hatred for the police, military, military families ffs!
God bless America
That's heart warning. God bless America.

God bless those children and military, and God bless America1
Wow how beautiful and moving. I love our God, country, family and our military. Oh and Gary Sinese is one helluva patriot. Thank you Mr. Sinese. I am proud to be and American!
The Gary Sinese Foundation has done this for 5 years I think.
What a beautiful heartwarming story.All those children I hope had a wonderful day at Disneyland and if only for a moment all their sadness was gone it would have been worth it.God Bless Northwest Airlines for doing something like this. Signed:Tom Brennan.
I am weeping and my heart is HUGE with love for this beautiful story! 🥰👍🏽❤️
I’m sorry for the children who had lost a parent or relative. It truly showed much respect for the family & the deceased for the entire airport to stop & Stand at attention, saluted. I too salute the family & the deceased everywhere. Elaine M. Smith.
To the 105 thumbs down, there are other countries accepting new residents. Just saying.
Oh yes this is America I know!
Thank you God for blessing America and to all the family that have lost their loved ones fighting for us in the ones that are serving in our military thank you thank you God bless
WOW these people really get it. God bless our heros and their families. God bless us all. That airport is badass for doing that.
A proud moment in America. I'd serve all over again. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
Thank you for your service! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
@@maryann1531 no thank you, for supporting our great military. It means a lot to me. Here's a story what happened to me. I was a United States Marine serving on Okinawa when Saigon fell to the Communist North Vietnamese back in April 1975. Fast forward to September 1975, myself and 3 other Marines were at the LA airport waiting for flights to Camp LeJeune, NC. As we were walking around the airport, of course in our uniforms, 5 civilian guys in their 20s like us, called us "Baby Killers" now this was 5 months after South Vietnam fell to the Communist North. Well being Marines we got in their face. We thought 3 Marines against 5 civilians, no problem. We reminded them we did not kill babies. They backed down and ran off. To be honest that has hurt for years. In the past few years people like you have thanked me for serving OUR great Nation. In my heart I have forgiven those 5 guys for calling me and my Marine buddies "Baby Killers." But to be honest the pain is still there. Now military personnel returning from Vietnam (65-72) faced this a lot more than me. Again thank you so much, one favor, if you see a Vietnam Veteran thank him or her for their service. Stay safe and greetings from Charleston, West Virginia, Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.
GOD bless all these wonderful people. These children have gone thru a horror and deserve all the love that they can handle.
THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME EXTREMELY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! WE SHOULD ALWAYS HONOR OUR MILITARY AND THEIR FAMILIES FOR SUCH SACRIFICES FOR ALL OF US!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for reminding us of our great people!
Warms my heart and brings a tear to my eye!
As a first generation Filipino..I consider myself American then Filipino
As an American this made me chuckle, welcome brother!
@@hinklefamily1831 I am glad I made you chuckle, during these difficult time..God bless
I love that. I am an American that just happens to be black. But an American, first and foremost.

As a Nashville native, I'm proud to say that this does not surprise me at all. That perfectly fits the respectful, God-fearing, southern hospitality nature of our town.
The only things that have changed some of that in recent years are the large numbers moving here from places like California and New York, and sadly they bring tremendous rudeness and selfishness with them.
But, what you see in this video is very typical of people here.
Thank you for posting this.
I'm from California, born and raised, and after having traveled throughout America, I don't believe that our citizens here are any more rude than those in other states. In all states, some are gracious and polite, and some are... well, not.
I've not traveled to New York, Louisiana, Alaska, Maine... the one state that did stand out as having the nicest people, imo, was Hawaii. Man, those people were laid-back and accommodating. Just really nice people. Canada had really nice people as well. Anyway, every state (and country) has rude people and nice people.
@@pameladamaris9213 You're correct to an extent, but what I said is also true. I've been to every state in the lower 48, and I've lived in various places. But, having lived in Nashville the longest (the last 34 years), there has been a very clear and dramatic shift away from politeness, especially in the way people drive, as flocks and flocks of people have poured into the area from other states.
So, what I said earlier is absolutely true, and I've watched it happen with my own eyes.
But yes, what you said is also partially true. There are certainly kind people in each state.
Have a good one.
Where's my tissue? ( Smiling thru my tears.)
Thank you friend for making this video. Very touching.
I'm sucker for this,it always gets to me,they loose so much and we don't even know.
Thank you American Air Lines And to the soldiers thank you for your service and to the families of the brave fallen soldiers GOD BLESS YOU
Thank you AA for doing this for the children that have lost a mom or dad protecting all of us from evil and it shows ther are still good people out there to stop and show respect to these kid's and there father or mother that gave all for this country Thanks 🙏🌹🇺🇸🐰🇺🇸🌹🙏
This is a beautiful video & I thank you for sharing it. The respect shown to your son's remains were handled so respectfully and rightly so. But sadly most deceased service men & women don't receive the same. There was a local story here about how a service man's remains were transported from the plane via an actual baggage cart. People were rightfully upset but point is it should never have happened. Talk about being asleep at the wheel!
What a 💕 lovely act of kindness! 😷❤️💐🌿
Omg, I have goosebumps. Maybe our world isn't as cruel ad it seems sometimes. There is still love and respect for our fellow man.....and child. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
