God bless all of the Gold Star families. Thank you, Patriot Guard, for being there during funerals and deployments. Thank you to all of you who serve or haved served. My heart goes out to the service members that lost a fellow service member.
I actually didnt run into these guys until I visitied the South (Tenessee). In Los Angeles they aren't really a presence. BEFORE YOU ALL GO LEFTY LIBTARD SNORTING COKE OFF OUR BIBLES CRAZY...Know that where we are at almost EVERYONE is related to (sibling, parent or cousin) of military personnel...so even though cali is more tolerant of certain "freedoms" than others (or lack there of)...show up at a mexican marines funeral w/ HUNDREDS of fam...and say something... Nice guy though.
I feel so bad for the children who lose their parents. To me it dosen't matter what side you are on when the children's parents die. To imagine what they are going through, I just can't. God help those children who truly need it. Please?!?
2004 Apr 22 Pat Tillman professional American football player is killed by friendly fire. Then subsequent cover-up and lies told regarding his death. The Army Special Operations Command investigation concluded that Pat Tillman's death was due to friendly fire. A more thorough investigation concluded that no hostile forces were involved in the firefight.
2010 Nov 28 Iraqi airport employee Abdul Karim Abid killed by US soldiers going to work at Baghdad International Airport. He worked for national carrier Iraqi Airways as an engineer. Iraqi workers at the Airport shut down the facility for two hours protesting the killing. Since soldiers are there now only for training purposes Col Barry Joghnson didn’t say who there troops were training.
2010 Nov 29 US soldier Private David Lawrence, 20, shot and killed a Taliban prisoner locked in his cell.
@lesdoyle2000 My comrads shot the vehicle of that employee and the media never gave the true facts:
He was speeding towards the convoy with no headlights and wouls not respond to the gunners escalation of force warnings. They made a desion and now have to live with it something u will never have to make. This place is getting worse as we draw down This is my third tour here with a total count of 30mnths in Iraq, how maqny times have u stepped upped. we dont want to be here silence ur ignorance!
I'm crying listening to the part of the little boy and the dead mother. It's so sad to hear that this happens almost everyday. Thank You for what the heroes are doing for us and our counrty, weither Canadian or American. Thank You, Everyone! And God Bless!
For honor, valor, freedom, and justice. There are heroes far and wide and I consider The Patriot Guard to be our heroes on the homefront. Thank you for standing watch while our fallen comrades are laid to rest.
Thank you so much for this. But a tribute type video to us seems so unneeded, we simply repay what we are given, and do our best to defend those who, in pain and loss, may feel undefended. But again, thank you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
May all of our soldiers who commit war crimes overseas fall hard...and painfully. I watched a video of an american soldier tossing a live puppy over a cliff in iraq. Soldiers like that deserve the same fate and worse.
TAKE YOUR HATE ELSEWHERE!! IF YOU DONT CARE TO SEE THE LAST RIGHTS OF A FALLEN AMERICAN HERO!! DONT WANT AND FAVORITE SO MANY OF THEIR VIDEOS!!! I will be following you via your home page, as will many others, we will negative rate EVERY SINGLE one of your comments untill they are not viewable... you have an earned an enemy elsewhere today.
I hope we remember the fallen, and the reasons why they gave thier lives. The compassionate hearts of these soldiers is more powerful than any weapon that they may carry. God bless the Soldiers.
wow.... i am kinnda lost for words. i remeber when they gave my grand dads flag to my grandma and said "ur country thanks u" and i do endeed thanks all brave men that served. U guys are true heros. God Bless the Troops
@Covertmaddroxx1 thank you for your kind words and for your upcoming service to our country may God Bless you and your family , They have raised a wonderful son and i have raised my son Cpl michael james jauriguekia 26may07 may god bring you home safe
Brett, I have watched this video atleast once a week since you have posted this online how ever many years ago. I still cry each and every time I watch it. I want to thank you for this video. Nothing could be more perfect.
Dobbs, Thank you for taking the time to support these amazing men and women of our armed forces. This video and song really mean a lot to me. Thank you for your kind words.
Amen, God bless our freedom....On a side note to my American friends, Join the NRA! I don't care if you never plan on owning a gun, they fight for rights that save lives and some people don't get to see. Once the right to bare arms is taken away from you standing up for your freedom becomes that much harder if tyranny sets into your country. God knows here in Canada we are stuck relying on the crappy police if TSHTF. Liberals are making it harder and harder to buy guns.
this is not an unjust war unless you think that trying to give others freedom like we take for granted and trying to give others hope is unjust.
2 President Bush was a good president he has kept us safe through these tough times and maybe you should stop listening to what the media tells you and look at the true facts
we need more people like you. i hate these stupid liberal bastards who trash our troops. we need to defend them, for they are the bravest boys in the world, fighting for our freedom!
Actually, Bush didn't send us into Iraq. Congress did. So don't get pissed off at him when he only kind of contributed to it. Congress declared war on terrorists, Congress has the power to order the president to pull the troops out of somewhere, and they haven't. So obviously all the Senators and Representatives for YOU are really behind the war, so don't give me that crap. Bush has more compassion for the soldiers than anyone you can think of.
Shadow is correct. Besides Iraq is just a part of the greater war and it is just about won as a practical matter. What you think is as important as my neighors dog barking. Ittitating but meaningless.
Brett, as an AZ PGR member I watch your video weekly in order to inspire the hope and reason to give my time away from my family, loss of pay, privilege to stand in the pouring rain and snow, to honor our heroes that defended an oath and left politics aside in their beliefs.
There will be disagreement on the reasons for our heroes death. Please, YouTube members, do not use this rousing tribute as a platform for that disagreement.
Are you kidding me with this BS. The buck stops with the President!! Bush sent us in to this unjust war sold to congress under his BS WMD story. Iraq had nothing to do with 911 NOTHING! and the next day Bush was insisting on going into Iraq. Powell disagreed and eventually quit! Congress votes on going to war a war of the presidents request. 12 Billion dollars a month for what? So we can sit here counting our brave dead soldiers lives and say God Bless the Troops?
Did we learn nothing in Vietnam. I can care less about the Iraqi people, its not worth the cost or our own freedom and country and especially our brave soldiers lives, when is the US going to wake up and worry about ourselves for once and keep our nose out of other peoples business. We are a nation quite possibly heading for bankruptcy and we can no longer afford Iraq. Its a war started for big corporate profits just like every war.
3. Bushes grandfather Prescott Bush was a Steal tycoon and manufactured 60% of the iron for Hitlers Nazi Germany... The Bushes have always been an oil family who lean towards the corporate rich. Its fully Bushes fault the buck stopped with him. Simply speaking I have come to the conclusion he was not fit to be president period, the sad part is I voted for the guy...
I'm not a republican BUT.... you are absolutely right! Bush like a lot of other presidents made mistakes. I was so impressed by him when he dodged that shoe! His ratings started going up after that. GOD Bless America!
This is a great vid and I was disgusted when I first heard of all the atrocious behaviour (thats putting it mildly) of the Westboro Baptist Church, I mean how sick can you get by protesting someone's funeral? Its bad enough people lost a father, a son, an uncle, a nephew, a friend and so forth.
I am a great admirer of the Patriot Guard what they have been doing is very honourable. You might be surprised hearing all this from a British man like myself.
Ive been a member of the PGR since June of 2006. Ive sadly attened over 150 Funerals. to this day each and everyone of the Services hurts like it is a member of my own Family. Thank you Brett for putting into words. What it feels like for us to stand there. Like your reading our thoughts. Thank you.
Please thank your dad for his dedication to the PGR. I get the emails almost daily about another veteran's funeral from the PGR. Thank you for your nice comments and please spread the word about these heroes' sacrifice.
This is a great video, and it almost made me cry. I haven't even come close to crying in about 5 years. Actually, great is an understatement. More like a beautiful video.
Thanks to all the heroes who have fallen to keep us safe here in America. Thanks to the PGR for keeping the wolves of hate from dishonoring heroes and heroines.
Thanks to Brett Boyett for sharing these beautiful, heart-wrenching videos. May they remind everyone of the sacrifices made for us. God Bless America and our soldiers!!
My Motorcycle Club rides with the Patriot Guard when they have a service here in our area. This is a great thing that we are able to give back what we can to those who fall and give the ultimate so that others may live and prosper. God Bless America and thank God for our Military Men and Women. To those who've lost loved ones in the service, my heart to you for your loss and my pledge to always give love, respect, and support when the opportunity is there. Forever Ride the Patirot Guard.
all i can say is that the soldiers of today don't get enough respect, back in WWII there wasn't a singele american that didn't have a flag on there front porch, but today theres the westboro baptist church and others that spit on us as we return home from war...
Thank you for taking the time to view and listen to this video. Hopefully it can help people to see the level of sacrifice these young men and women have given.
Thanks to Brett for investing the care, time, talent and effort to express so greatly what sooooo many of us feel but have not the words or abilities to do.
