As veterans, we may have served in different branches, but when one of us has fallen, we have lost a brother or a sister. We are a family. Sure, we rib each other about which branch is better than the others, but when a fellow comrade is down, we pull together and help where it is needed. Just like family members do.

I have the utmost respect for the veterans thank you all for your service

🥰🤩🥰🤩🥰🤩

brotherhood...honor... dignity...a salute from the retired scout ranger from the Philippines.

@@archievalpena8239 amen brother.

Marine...

im army i still would have brought them home if you put on a millitary uniform regardless of branch you are a brother or a sister

Your exclamation point aside, the term soldier can mean anyone in military service. Encouraging members of any branch to feel they are special only serves to heighten competition

Amerikkka 😂

Well at least he ain't a coward like the rest of them

Hurrah!

Absolutely! My brother, who passed 9 years ago, was a Marine. On his behalf Semper Fi! Thank you for your service Sir!

Semper-Fi, The narrator named our fallen brother a Marine Soldier, No its MARINE, A United States MARINE, And do not forget it.

​@@robsr.5518it's an AI voice. I left a comment about that. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸❤️

Thank you ALL for your service and selflessness to step up and do what many of us couldn't. You are the real supermen, a cape would just be unnecessary overkill...💗🙏

I humbly honor all of you Patriot Guard Bikers. God bless you all! Riders. May you all ride in safety in God’s love and compassion. 🙏❤️😇

My cousin is and always will be a Marine! As you said, you are not a Gang! You are a group of brothers and sisters, ❤❤ Family takes care of family! It has no braering on if your blood or not!

no offense but to most people a group of bikers is called a gang they don't know any better its just the way that groups of biker are perceived in our culture

Yeah I didn’t like the “gang” reference

Sir Thank you for your dedication to our fallen brothers and sisters. In 2006, the Patriot Gaurd were called apon for my cousins funeral. Sgt.Rickey E. Jones of Kokomo, Indiana. The Patriot Guard set up a 300 meter perimeter for his funeral, cause there was threats from a church in Missouri that was threatening to disrupt his Funeral. This evoked then President Bush to enact the Rickeys Law that prohibited any protesting within 300 meters of a military funeral. That church actually threatened to dig up his grave to desecrate his remains. All that was in his casket was his uniform and some family momentous from us family members for his journey to Valhalla. If it wasn't for the Patriot Guard, there wouldn't been no security for my family at Ricky's funeral. So I thank everyone of yall who was involved in that momentous occasion. God Bless everyone of yall and May God put the wind to your backs and give everyone one of yall safe travels Please never forget Sgt. Rickey E. Jones KIA- 22/02/2006 C. Company 1/327 Inf. Regiment 1st BCT 3 Tours in Iraq Promoted to E-5, 7 days before KIA KIA by an IED road side bomb. Till Valhalla Cousin, Larry Jones Ret. Active Army E.51 Inf. Airborne Ranger SUA SPONTE RLTW/ATW

Thanks for your service . I was an Operations Specialist from 1985 to 1995 . Ten weeks ago I buried my grandfather who served two years in the US Army during the Korean War . Two Honor Guards from a local National Guard Armory conducted his funeral service and presented his folded colors to my mother .

@@victorwaddell6530 I was OS1 from 1970-1993.

Navy, an acronym for Never Again Volunteer Yourself! I got that from a Navy Veteran when we both were at our VA hospital for appointments!

Semper Fi Shipmate ! 🇺🇸

I'm also retired, Navy. I worked along side of marines in aviation. Marines are soldiers, sailors, and airmen. All in all, Marines. Thank you for your sacrifice.

I 2nd that!!!

Patriot riders took care of my stepfather when he died last fall (30 year Navy submarine vet). Very impressive and mad respect for their professionalism.

thank you to everyone who made it possible ❤️ your special people God bless you all and America 🇺🇸

Great story!!!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏

Yes thank you for thr Patriot Riders what you did uou are truly heros

Exactly! Sending a grieving momma her son's remains by mail THAT'S what's unthinkable...

Channels like this, use click bait titles. They use titles that bait hate and anger. It's why I report these channels and then forget them. If I come across them again randomly, I just repeat. They're not worth it because they just steal the story of others and add musics and clickbait titles.... Entirely worthless.

And now they changed the title.

Semper Fi my fellow military brat 💕 Army brat here, balling my eyes out over this video. Thank your family member for their service.

My pops was a marine his ashes sit in a wooden bear on the bank of the kenai river in alaska and i have a little package i take fishing with my daughter and mom so he continues to get to go on family fishing trips

I'm a mom of a soldier who joined when he was 17 cause he always wanted to be an army man when he was little .just after his 18th bday his group did 3 weeks at 911 and when he come home he looked at me and said mom I know I'm your first born and my dad only child but what I saw I just could hold back my tears and even getting a spanking I wouldn't cry but seeing what I did broke my heart and that why I volunteered to go over seas and do what I have to do .just get hold of my dad I said ok . He finally left for Afghanistan 2005 ..and his first born was only 4 months old..he's been out awhile now but not the same if you know what I mean .but I call him sir..my hero my son

Thank you for serving the families of the fallen

@@JoyPeace-ej2uv It’s an honor to do so.

PGR was there the day I buried my best friend 17 years ago. It may not have been your charter but thank you guys for helping get him to his final rest. 🫡❤️🤍💙

@@michaelzimmerman8285 PGR is a nation wide organization. 100% volunteer, riders and cagers, many members are not even veterans. The only mandatory requirement is honor and respect for those who have served our country.

As a mother, David, this is one of the greatest gifts that you can ever give one of us. I sincerely thank you for your service and your support. 🩵

Thank you God bless you and yours.

Thank you and all the other patriots that serve your fellow soldiers with respect. Thank you for your service to this country.

You are a true American and kind humanbeing. Bravo. Thus country and world need more people like you in the communities thru out this country. God bless you and your family. My entire family for generations have served over 250 yrs in the US military since the Revolutionary War.

FedEx is horrid as it is, I cried as soon as I heard they were shipping him through FedEx, anger as well. So I’m so glad these bikers stepped up and gave him the trip home he deserved.

Semper Fi, brother!

I'm a retired 75 year old Army vet who did 2 tours in Nam and Operation Desert Storm. Once a Marine, always a Marine! To call them soldier is total disrespect to the United States Marine Corp.

Was just about to say the same thing Semper Fi!

@@user-ns1jj3ks5s Agreed!

@@user-ns1jj3ks5s Welcome home soldier, and thank you!

This display of brotherhood is a microcosm of the brotherhood that we all should show globally! Love & respect, from the UK brother!

& tours in Iraq and Afghanistan is kinda impressive,but,Marines only stay deployed for 6 months.My first tour in Iraq was 1 yr & 6 months of combat missions with an infantry unit,I did 4 total deployments to Iraq ( I volunteered for all 4 tours and did 2 tours back-to-back ) with the Texas Guard. I wanted all that-SMOKE !!! LOL. GO-GUARD !!!!

Unless things have changed, the Marines go in first to make it safe so other services can go in and stay

Marine, not soldier.

@@robertwilder8688wow there’s a critic in every crowd. She ment no disrespect give her a break

@@lesterbuckman5493, it was just a correction, nothing more. I did not name call or bad mouth her in any way.

Thank them classy

@@robertwilder8688You could have worded it better? Did I say you had bad mouthed her? It came off a bit condescending critical after she’s left a positive message. Again she ment disrespect and I stand by my original post

Semper Fi brother

Thank you for your service.

Thank you.

@@adminbusinessdevelopment6220 Semper Fidelis brother

@rudestlittlesoundwave642 no need to thank me at all, I made it home, alot better men then myself didn't have the same opportunity, they deserve the thank you, I can say it was an honor to be able to serve next to some of the greatest young men to have walked this earth. I got to call some true heroes brother. Thank you though, it was an honor

Yeah, and a Paratrooper is forever a Paratrooper, so what, they referred to him as a soldier, that's supposed to be a bad thing??? Maybe you should look up the definition of the word "Soldier" and another thing, Paratroopers are hard charging and mission specific as well.

​@jackdaniel7465 that response is expected from a civilian who doesn't understand. But instead of intejecting what another service member should do, how about you doing some research. As a Marine, we don't like being called soldiers. It's no disrespect to other branches but a marine is a marine. Like an an air force member is an airman and a navy member is a sailor. As Marines we hold our title of MARINE with high esteem. And thank you for your service Jeff

@@jackdaniel7465 Perhaps you should actually talk to a Marine. They don’t call themselves soldiers at all, they are always Marines. So put down the whiskey and learn something from a Marine.

@@jeffc5474 I don't need to talk to a Marine, because when you do you better hip waders on because the 💩 gets deep with the constant propaganda coming out of theirs mouths and having to hear them bad mouth the other branches of service, sitting down and listening to their crap is like sitting in a dental chair and getting five hours of root canal, I have talked to many of them before and it's the same old crap, like a broken record....And BTW I DID SERVE just in case you have any questions.

@@Girard-it2wt Well I served myself, I am not just a civilian. So the first part of your statement doesn't pass the smell test.

So true!😢

Total disrespect

Who gave them permission to cremate him ? Why couldn't they , fly him to her..Or her to him ? Like You Say, TOTAL DISRESPECT 😢😢

​@@phyllisreese6476it might have been his wishes?

The military takes so much from taxpayers, there should be a service that brings these men and women home to rest. They should be taken care of with respect.

The military did not handle his funeral arrangements. Jonathan did not die while serving in the military, he was a veteran and civilian at the time of his death. His family would only have received $2000 towards the cost of his burial or cremation. If they chose to inter his remains in a National Cemetery, the military would provide a coffin or urn, a grave site and a tombstone or marker, and only a portion of the transportation costs to that cemetery. His remains would have been handled by a civilian mortuary and the details worked out and decisions made by his family. He lived in CA, his family lived in GA, and unless they were able to pick up the cremains, they would be shipped.

The military would not handle it. That would be the Department of Veterans Affairs.

sound fishshe , what if not right person remains, we all know the government can be corruption..

@@galndixiehe may not have died during his active service, but it was during his active service he accumulated his injuries that resulted in his death.

What a beautiful and respectful act when certain people try to divide us saying we are a racist people. I look at something like this and say no most Americans are pretty decent when the rubber meets the road . It’s about the contents of your heart not the color of our skin.

Marines aren’t soldiers. They’re Marines. Army personnel are soldiers. Air Force are airmen (airwomen), and Navy personnel are sailors. I’m not positive on how female personnel in the Air Force are addressed. Maybe a female member of the Air Force can jump in and educate us.

@@user-vm5ud4xw6n THANK YOU BROTHER !!

A special breed of woman to be a soldier . I served in the US Army and retired plus 20 years.

@@walliegoolsby5389 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE MA'AM......FOR ME YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT...TAKE SPECIAL BREED OF A WOMAN ALSO TO BE A SOLDIER....... IN GENERAL WHETHER IN THE AIR FORCE, MARINES OR JUST A SIMPLE COOKER ......FOR ME THEY ALL HEROES!!!!

​@user-vm5ud4xw6n They're jarheads, squids, doggies and blueboys. Oo Rah, Semper Fi !

I didn’t realize Ft. Leonardwood had Marines too. I was in 2nd grade when we were stationed there and my daughter, Army-family tradition- graduated from basic/ait at Ft. Leonardwood. We drove past where our housing was but it was torn down. There’s a huge tree there. My dad planted it while we were stationed there.

It makes me embarrassed that a veteran, who served, was going to be sent home through the mail. So much of taxpayers money is spent on military, but they couldn't send this soldier home with respect. These riders, are heroes.

Just a Marine waiting for his/hers final deployment.

A significant percentage of those bikers WERE veterans, and taking care of "their own" was precisely what was going on here. Though I do agree the premise of the story seems sketchy, I don't think the US would simply mail cremains. At the very least, a single uniformed member of the USMC funeral detail would hand-deliver the urn to her doorstep. Clickbait-y title, that an organization -- the Patriot Riders -- founded to do just this sort of thing actually doing the thing is somehow "unthinkable".

As veterans, we have to look after each other, because nobody else will. We’re just numbers to the VA. All the VA cares about, is how to medicate and isolate. My wife has numerous bottles of different medications that the VA doctors have prescribed to her. I could fill numerous boxes with them.

Out of the current living population in the U.S. about 6 percent of them are veterans.

@@xheralt He was a civilian at the time. If died on active duty then likely a Marine would have delivered his remains.

i've only run into 2 other military retirees in over 30 years, and i live in norfolk, va, a heavily navy city. you may be overestimating your numbers.

Me to

Busy crying, army, not a marine but still a brother!!!! Ed low rvn 66_69

They saw it as a DUTY rather than a favor.

Thank You

me too

I also cried

The video was for that Marine, so what if they mistakenly said Soldier, look up the definition of soldier, you guys cry about something so trivial as that?? How sad.

Just read a story the state of Massachusetts voted to house migrants over veterans 😢.
