American Airlines commercial 'Putting Them First'

[deltafan100]

U.S.A.

[aaronrodgers77]

That made me tear up! How nice!

[TheJenn85345]

I wish our men returning from Vietnam had been given that kind of respect.

[monkeydman]

Ha Marine cammies but no Marine name tapes? Could have used a person in the military!

[libralice95]

I'm not even American and even I cried when the old Vet sauted her!!!!

[MrVDUBBZ]

Thank You I am a soldier with 1st Armored out of Fort Bliss, Texas. I am from Fort Worth, Texas near DFW Airport and home of American airlines.

[Titan14151]

Great commercial

[Flyboy3245]

I felt so valued when I flew on American over Christmas. I appreciated all of the thank you's. GO AIR FORCE.

[mr22pct]

I LOVE watching commercials like this when assholes like alec baldwin and adam carolla are acting like they deserve some kind of special treatment simply because they are rich. YEAH, eFFFeewWWWW asssshoooles!! Even though this airline went bankrupt, they treat people with respect that DESERVE IT. Not people that BOUGHT IT. Fukkkkin fags in holllywood can eat sheeit. Military trumps an HS GED every time. Suck It, fags.

[MeisterJager90]

HEY DEVIL, WHY THE FUCK ARE WE WEARING OUR CAMMIES IN PUBLIC. Nasty WMs. . .

[elmntzom4]

@MeisterJager90 She also had no name tapes. BOOT!

[elbugie345]

It broke me down as well. I would like to thank all the folks who support us. Jumpmaster, mighty 82nd (ABN).

[FloridaGiant305]

[wolfmp5]

[SuperLeftyPitcher]

[Angelbaby0xx]

@rosa0parks0is0a0nigr OIIII KEEP UR OPINIONS TO UR FUCKING SELF UNGREATFUL PERSON

[rlmcpp1]

"Thank you for your service" is the comment of this period. I am happy to see military personnel are wearing their uniform in airports! I remember when (in the late 60's) our uniforms were a target of insults. Now, these soldiers deserve all of the thank-you comments we can give them. Thank you American Airlines for recognizing them!!!

[USMCofficerMV22]

Oorah American Airlines and Oorah all who serve!!!

[TheKiersteng]

This what american means to be! be proud be american

[Dlaser609]

I am 20, and consider myself a rough military member, but grateful civilians always choke me up.. thankyou American people for your prayers for us!!

[Hoschi0913]

@Dlaser609

NO thank you for your service and sacrifce Sir

[SK8inhome]

Thank you for posting this. I am a U.S. Soldier with the 82nd Airborne. Thank you again.

[fastchapter]

Damn it. I let an airline make me cry.

[tomcat561]

[kenenash]

If they really wanted to do something put them in FIRST CLASS ! AMERICAN AIRLINES SUCKS ASS, THEIR MOTTO IS WE'RE NOT HAPPY TIL YOUR UNAHPPY!

KENNY NASH

[MrNikopapi]

[alanpineda11]

[kenenash]

[hellogoodbyemylove1]

@MySSSSSS123 I am truly sorry for your loss..I might not have lost someone to war but I definitely know from experience that any loss hurts quite a lot. I will pray for your friend that he is happily watching down on you from heaven:) God Bless him and other troops!

[chaseyoungismine]

[RaheemM18]

[sam92695]

I remember when i walked in to the airport and everyone started to clap for us and a little boy walked up to me and said thank you i really apperciate what you do and i said your welcome and smiled back proudly knowing im proud to serve my country as a united states marine.

[MreowZoomage]

Thank you for all you do. You are an amazing person.

[sam92695]

[CJtech323]

God damn im proud to be an American.

[darkhorse0687]

@Calibwai Marines don't get R&R from deployment, The only time we wear our uniforms is when we are working, If on leave or libo Military attire is against regs for OPSEC reasons. That is all.

[kingmarco301]

instead of that girl has a soilder they should put Paris Hilton to do something good for her country.... imagine Paris Hilton in war ohh god cover me its going to ruin my makeup.... HAHA.... THUMPS UP PLZ

[thtkidnick7]

[thtkidnick7]

@MrToxicheyna7 hes a marine and has served his country with honor if he wants 2 speak his mind u let him because its a free country tht HE fought 4 he can say what he wants show some class and respect. And im a marine 2 in case your wondering so MarineCorpsDixon means a hell of a lot more 2 me than u do.

[EternalPhoenix2183]

Never ceases to bring a tear to my eye

[BenshannaboyCali]

It's nice to see people go out of their way for the men and women who serve their country.

[c0stlytech]

the 14 the disliked this need to rethink their lives..

[yndexmen]

fuck man.... this is deep...

[edcitems]

wait, why didn't she salute back?

[spriggs20]

@edcitems Generally you don't salute indoors

[blkcoverboy]

the head knod was good enough for me...!

[sooner1028]

@blkcoverboy For me as well.

[EarthaKit2]

Piece of crap!

NBO Airlines have EVER done this! Business is business, and airlines don't care about "the boots on the ground."

And this showing a woman soldier, NO U.S. woman soldier is at the front lines.

[TheAce22716]

@EarthaKit2 ha, wow... first, I've been boarded first several times in uniform, even got bumped up to first class once. Second, I'm a combat medic, which is an MOS open to females(I'm male). I know several females who have been attached to line units, aka infantry platoons. so... just my $.02

[bmays002]

Fuck the USA, their WW2 vets, and all the other killers that have engaged in unprovoked war. You guys enjoy your niggers.

[state135]

@bmays002 I don't wanna argue with on youtube. I just wanna ask a question how was WWII unprovoked?

[bmays002]

@state135

The USA was seizing German merchant ships and killing sailors, this was obviously totally unprovoked. So Germany declared war on the US. The US congress was then forced to declare war on Germany. They then proceeded to bomb railways to starve civilians, then firebombed heavily populated German cities to inflict massive numbers of civilian deaths.

[state135]

@bmays002 Germany declared war on the US because of the tripartite act btwn Ger, Japan, and Italy stating that if one went to war the others would assist this wasnt followed thru by the japanese since they didnt help with russia but the Germans also realized that with full US involvement came US industry that would help Britain and Russia. and I have never heard of US ships attacking German merchant ships before the war that would just provoke Germany's Navy which was powerful at the time

[wwefanworld]

Yeah, because it's negroes who have sacrificed all to create and maintain this country, right? The whites just sat and did nothing, right American Airlines? All negroes have done is destroy and destroy (ie. Detroit, Miami, Chicago) You can't deny it.

[14AmericanNazi88]

Retarded commercial. Subliminal message: Black women are the people who are "saving our country from third world islamics" and that all white people are old fags who are too old to fight.

All the sheep probably started crying as they watched this. bahh, bahh.

[killathrillaspilla99]

@14AmericanNazi88 Haaaaaaaaaa okay are you happy now you've gotten that off your chest? Did you receive the attention you were seeking?

[mycinnymon]

My grandfather was a WWII Vet. He passed away on April 17th, 2011. I have actually witnessed my grandfather do this once, and then he told them thankyou for their services. The first time i saw this video on tv the other day, i burst into tears. To see this reminds me of my grandfather. But it also makes me even more proud to be an American. I myself am an Army brat. my father is a Vietnam vet, and him and his fellow brothers never got told thank you for their service. So to all, THANKYOU!!! <3

[Vandal2424]

Every one should just take time out of their day to salute these fine men and women.

[ChaChingORight]

kinda game me the chills

[Lavard14]

American Third Position Party! Tired of leftists and Neocons? Tired of people using words? like racists and anti semite to try to silence their opponents? Tired of affirmative action? Tired of spending billions on upholding a overseas military empire? Tired of the? illegal alien invasion of the USA?

Look no further than at the American Third Position Party! Take a look at their homepage at american3p . org and take a look at their videos here on youtube.

The American Third Position Party

[prorobo]

Love this latest ad campaign from AA saluting our troops. Too bad they'll probably lose their luggage on the way to the Middle East.

[RAT0311]

Uck: how bout u put a uniform on and do something with ur life and country.im a marine and my dog has bigger balls then u! This isn't a race thing there r blacks in the marines who cares it's the respect that that old vet showed towards a fellow service member

[uckfayooyay0]

lol double posted for double disdain

[uckfayooyay0]

This commercial is shit, anyone who likes it is a fucking imbecile.

But in a way it's also perfect. The black woman is given an entitlement and refuses to indicate anything resembling gratitude for it. At most, there is a calm self-assuredness that this is what she deserves.

Then it's capped off by an old white man, a veteran perhaps, saluting her. And in the most flagrant disrespect of human and military courtesy she fails to return salute. Fucking bullshit. Fuck you, American Airlines.

[dexstar69]

@uckfayooyay0 Its against military policy to salute someone out of uniform. You can receive a salute but you can't deliver one because you don't know their rank. Her lack of reply has nothing to do with race. It's sad that you think it does. It just goes to show how much of an imbecile you are and you should seriously consider killing yourself.

[uckfayooyay0]

@dexstar69 lol that you think it's "sad" - of course this commercial has to do with race you fucking turd.

[uckfayooyay0]

[ERAUPRCWA]

@uckfayooyay0 soldiers do not salute civilians... another thing, you're an idiot

[satandog]

How can you be patriotic when you have muds defending a racially impure country? What's the point of defending a country when there's no common blood!? 14/88 RAHOWA

[somefellow12345]

Whites went from whipping blacks to worshipping them. Well done, crackers.

[IceAgeColumbus]

This commercial is disgusting.

People in the military are there for an income. Usually nothing more.

And the mission of the US military has been hi-jacked.

The US military is NOT defending our borders. Instead they are destroying/building (not sure which) foreign nations of Non-whites that mostly hate us. And we do this for Israel as the prompting of Jews, and Jew-controlled Congress. Get your head out of your ass/ clouds and face realities .

[MrTimmyBuns]

I remember a time when the images, nay the subject of our grandfathers and now fathers, mothers,sisters and brothers - wasnt - used to sell things on tv. Budweiser has a young vet returning home commercial. My grandfather fought in North Africa, and on the Gothic Line in Italy and I dont know if he would feel respected or manipulated, the question will remain as he is gone now. With all said though, I fully respect the American fighting man and woman, as I respect our Canadian soldiers abroad.

[sweetiemush]

who directs these commercials?!? if anyone knows please message me !

[MarineCorpsDixon]

ok im a marine and  this commercial is nice and all.. but it is incorrect...that is a marine uniform and marines can not wear cammies in public...plus the girl had no name tapes...

[crankymrman]

@MarineCorpsDixon i see you havent been down range and come home on R&R

[MrToxicheyna7]

@MarineCorpsDixon its a commercial dipshit, thats not the point you totally blew it off, understand it for what it means!

[ERAUPRCWA]

@MarineCorpsDixon be realistic, no commercial with military personnel can have accurate uniforms for OPSEC reasons... stupid, yes, but that's how it is, so relax

[sucka4life]

@MarineCorpsDixon I agree with the name tapes. But when we deployed we were in cammies.

[Kaarington]

@MarineCorpsDixon its the idea behind the commercial that gets people. its about what americain airlines does for military personal. so sorry that they were incorrect but if that ruined this ad for you, your missing the message. ... haha altho honestly that just means your media aware. and thats not so bad.

[saguviper]

@MarineCorpsDixon and its a commercial! She could be an actress or even removed her name tape to keep confidentiality. Also, the marines probably gave permission to wear cammies in the shooting of this video, since this video is staged and all.

[DougMcHead]

@MarineCorpsDixon If I remember correctly unless you are an actual member of the military you are not allowed to wear the uniform in its correct manner. So that could explain why she has no name tape or an identifying marks of what branch she is in. I think this commercial is just trying to show its support for the entire military. hence the reason nothing to identify her with any specific branch.

[expressmylife]

@MarineCorpsDixon if thats true good catch.....you would think with the money put into commercials they would do their research...

[prglg]

@MarineCorpsDixon It's just an ad.....

[KhaosXTheoryX]

@MarineCorpsDixon

She is representing the military as a whole, not just the Marines. Theres another commercial by AA with people in Air Force and Army cammies as well.

[FlagFlyingHigh3]

@MarineCorpsDixon However, these girl is probably a actor and as you know you can't wear a uniform exactly like a Marine or you would be impersonating military personal. Which is illegal

[FlagFlyingHigh3]

@MarineCorpsDixon sorry "this girl"

[thisguy76354]

@FlagFlyingHigh3 you have to be a pog "this girl" nice ont homie prolly never deployed anyway so you would be the one scanning you tube and pointing out boot ass shit like oh you cant where cammies in the airport

[FlagFlyingHigh3]

@thisguy76354 Well im not going to make up some bullshit story of how i've deployed, because I haven't. Plus I'm not going to tell you im a POG, but ill tell you my job im a 13F Forward Observer responsible for calling in Artillery, CCA,CAS and whatever fire power is needed for the job on the field. So in all technicality I am a Personal other than Grunt. Plus I never said anything about uniform in airports, and your message to marinecorpsdixion was dead on what I was trying to say.

[thisguy76354]

@FlagFlyingHigh3 no my bad it looked like you are the other guy talking shit your good

[thisguy76354]

@FlagFlyingHigh3 no my bad it looked like you are the other guy talking shit your good

[FlagFlyingHigh3]

@thisguy76354 its all good marine ha

[thisguy76354]

@MarineCorpsDixon i made a youtube acct just to reply i am also a Marine if you are on R&R from a 12 month deployment you can have marpat on the way home or on the way back and as for her not haveing name tapes she is not a active duty marine she is in a t.v. add it about the point... so learn your shit and stop talking about things you dont know about

[MarineCorpsDixon]

@thisguy76354 yea cause...have cammies with no nametapes it totally allowed

[thisguy76354]

@MarineCorpsDixon okay dude you have got to be a compleat boot or a high up with no life you are missing the point it would be a crime to have nametapes on that blouse without the girl being a marine and if you a marine like you say you are than you know as well as i do that we cant be in t.v. adds other that recruiting adds without HQMC saying its okay so take it as it is its a nice add we can have cammies if your too or from and she cant have name tapes its okay you did not know

[rolloverriderpgr]

This just brought tears to my eyes! If I ever get to fly again it WILL be with American Airlines!

[rheanna21]

There is a pin on the vets sweater that says "WWII" So your guess as to him being a WW2 vet is correct..I'm not american but this commercial makes me tear up every time..I must say Americans respect and honor their service men and women the way that they deserve to be..Good on you American Airlines :) God bless them all :)

Much love and respect from Canada :)

[pcmax87]

I'm not American, but I fly often with the airline. I love it's service, and I'm very on agreement to the priority system to the ones in Uniform. Very special, very American Airlines.

[SampledMuffin]

ive only preborded one time while in uniform, and i got a lot of weird looks. Now I just wait in line with everyone else because I feel like a douche.

[TheGlock9mm]

i love this video!, thank you to the men and women who serve our country! keep up the good work HOOAH!

[prglg]

Oh my God!! I'm crying.....

[Mr0230412]

i did the same thing

[Mr0230412]

@prglg me too :(

[prglg]

@Mr0230412 Don't feel sad!! I wept with emotion! Pride of those who defend the nation! And the reverence of that gentleman, was very exciting! I am not American, but I'm proud of honest and courageous!

[Mr0230412]

[colo250]

[wizzair1313]

Gives me chills.

[state135]

I'm looking for a certain welcome home commercial that shows a marine just home and looks like he feels out of place until a guy wearing a paratrooper shirt comes up, shakes his hand, says welcome home does anyone know where i can find this
