Grandpa's Marine funeral / flag ceremony - bagpipes

[EphiliatesUSMC1775]

Semper Fi.

[MrOhcomeonseriously]

He was a hero. but so were so are many amen that served before and after him. In the militaries around the world. Every man that fights for his country is a hero.. (as a soldier, not as a terrorist)

[ilovebusshystuff911]

I'm army and I cried watching this

[Cab00S31]

Exactly like my grandpas funeral still a little sad

[laxchamp781]

god bless america

[Inheritencefan1134]

reminds me of my grandfather's funeral, except he was U.S. Army

[Athanase48067]

This is a very humbling thing to watch.

[doomfromheaven]

If the Army and the Navy, ever look on Heaven's Scenes...  They will find the streets are guarded by UNITED STATES MARINES!

[gpghosts]

Semper Fi



[StudebakerHawk57]

To the Marine whose funeral this was, Semper Fi, sir, and may the Almighty God who watches over all of us bless your eternal soul.

[Isp5570]

who are the assholes that can dislike this... you are un-American!

[kingnick104]

@Isp5570 what if were not american not that i dislike the idea of a good send of 

[Isp5570]

@kingnick104 if you hit the dislike button you are pretty much disrespecting this Marine and all others who are marines..... as I am a former Marine, I just can't see how someone can hit the dislike button.... If you don' t like it... don't watch it.

[marine0351ster]

i may have never met your grandfather but i as a fellow marine, i stood at attention and render him a salute. semper fi.

[kevinchajka2010]

that was awesome display thank you for this video...He will always be a solider in the USMC God Bess you.

Semper fidelis

[photoplanet]

I'm British (English), and although the United States has a shorter history than ours, I am always humbled by your patriotism.

Of course we honour our War Dead, and the surviving Veterans, but we just don't do it as well as you do......

Even the reverence to your national flag... I wish that the public here in Britain had as much respect for our own flag.

[cwood4ever]

@photoplanet really I figured England would have tons of history and all kinds of stuff for people to be patriotic about.

[xXxCOV3RTxXx]

I remember when my greatgrandpa died he was in world war 2 and each time they did the gun salute each time they shot i was hit with a wave of tears and almost fell to the ground. Miss you grandpa love ya

[torycrow1]

OOH RAH, Marines never die, they just go and beat the hell outta the devil cause they Devil Dogz

[jgtemplars]

OOH RAH

Grandpa is sitting in mighty fine company. Pour him a drink Chesty Poller.

[kk1987M]

Ooh-rah

[lorenzohawk]

[gunner2t]

This is the saddiest thing you will every hear in person.. i buried my brother in 2004

[hdst77]

who what doing the 21 gun salute tat looked like a jrotc unit

[dynodonfb7]

@hdst77 More than likely they are a unit of fellow service members from WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. There are several groups that offer their services at their fellow service member funerals.

[gunnypapa]

Semper Fdelis

[HHHdahman]

Tumbs up if you would have stopped if you were driving and saluted.

[supernole100]

I have had to play taps at two funerals. Both in the same year. There is nothing fun about, I have been playing my trumpet since 6th grade, in 11th now. And those two moments I will remember for the rest of my life. God Bless you Grandfather, and may he rest in peace.

[rollin717]

[SailingukNet]

Thats sad....SEMPER FI CLINT PHILLIPS THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE HOORAH

[MsKamioo]

Semper fi, RIP Clinton Phillips. The most honorable song to be played at a military funeral, the military does some things right. Thank for serving our country sir.

[tbgallien]

The sound of brass hitting the ground is a sound only a Marine should know. He has listened to many sounds, and to taps every night before hitting the rack, thinking of marines before him. The rest of us Marines will continue thinking of your grand father every time we hear it as well.

Semper Fi 0300 to the people

[wolfden3000]

May God rest your soul and accept you into the kingdom of heaven

Semper Fi my friends

Hoorah

[chewylloc]

RIP....... i enlisted for the marines and i go this febuary. I dont know if ill make it back all 5 of my brothers have died. God bless all branches of the Military for we are all equal. And god bless your uncle and my cousin Srg. James Craig who died by a roadside bombing, RIP

[chadstur1991]

English? You mean the British!

More Scottish soldiers died in both world wars than any other in Europe as we were front line.

I take great offence to you referring to the British military as "English" when it's 48% Scottish personell.

[NorwegicusOnAstick]

If my ration consisted of haggis i would have died too :D

[balny2000]

lol have you tried haggis?? it's great!

[NorwegicusOnAstick]

@balny2000 I have not, i have only seen it ....from a distance

How ever, knowing what it is and how it looks i can safely say that i will not have a go at it. :)

Not that my own country lacks disgusting traditional "food".

[balny2000]

lol everyone who aint tried it says its minging, but try it most people do like it..

[xav197459]

RIP Soldier,

sorry for my english

Peace for your familly, you had made your job. The same job of the Marines in Normandie the 6th june 1944. I'm french and never forget the Americans, English, Canadians sacrifice for my liberty

[cranberry6]

Farewell Marine!

I bid farewell to my soldier Grandfather a few years back. It sucks and you have my sympathy.

Jon.

[clint3611]

no, this was the military ceremony immediately after the funeral

its more of a honor to the Marines than a funeral at this point imo

[gammyland]

@clint3611 No, It's what us Marines do to honor our brothers who faithfully served this country.

[iliketheairforce]

Semper fidelis...

[MrTribaljames]

[MsAnthropy]

I've seen too many of these funerals. As honorable and beautiful as they are, when the widow is presented the flag it always breaks my heart.

[Texgame]

Thank you Sir.

[donjuanzx9]

I actually teared up at the end ....Never knew before, what they said either.

[CorBinKaY76]

i always wondered what they said to the person they were giving the flag to.

[xTingTingManx]

hey can i have the option to be cremated in the marine or do i have to be burried

[smarzotais]

its your choice really. they just do the ceremony thingy... but it is mandatory that they preserve your genetalia so that they can mix it into the new patriot XIII nuclear warheads... ya know... they need all that baddass that comes from marines... its what bunker busters r made from

[magbast243]

i can only fill free when i am with all of my brothers in heaven

Im so proud of him, and I hope to carry on the tradition when I enlist in the United States Marine Corps. I also want to thank Every Marine Here, and the grandfather who is showed here for you outstanding service thank you for what you have done.

[yamahonkawazuki]

[Theodorej1960]

From the "Parris Island March", a marching cadence we used to sing:

..."And when he gets to Heaven, St. Peter he will tell...."Another Marine reporting, sir, I've served my time in hell"". Semper Fi and G-d bless.

Semper FI ! bless your and your grand fathers bravery and gift of freedom for the rest of the heros and even cowards left off of the battle fields. for as long as their are men there will be wars, for as long as their are wars there will be men willing to or not willing to lay down their lives for their beliefs and freedoms. americans belief is freedom and its a cost with only one price to pay and too many young great men have payed the piper for the rest of us too long
