Honor and Glory

This was a college project I did showing what the 92 Mikes(Mortuary Affairs) do at Dover Air Force Base. I am a former 92M, and there's not much on the internet demonstrating what we do. Although this does not cover the field portion, it does show how we care for the remains of fallen soldiers once they arrive at the military mortuary facilities. The video was put together with clips from "Taking Chance," and the song is "Fallen Not Forgotten" by Ray Boltz.

My Great Uncle was KIA in France Sept. 19 1917 as a Gunner with the 3rd Canadian Siege Battery. Never knew him. but after all these years he is honored and remembered for his sacrifice by myself, my sister, grandaughter and son's. May all those American soldiers be remembered as well. it is all that we can do to thank them. Bless them all.

im from a far away country, maybe i don't think like an american in a lot of matters, but i can tell you this, it doesn't matter where you from, but if you die for your country, for your people, you are a hero, my respects to all the fallen

[@alwojtas3730]

First and foremost, I do not want to minimize or discredit those who have given their lives, or to those that have attended to their remains, in any or all conflicts. I myself lost close friends in the Viet Nam war. However, I have a personal take on what really took place in the 1966-1970 years at Dover Air Force Base where I was stationed. It was before the current mortuary was finished. The then facility was next to the base "hobby" shop, where woodworkers made things, and I washed and changed oil on my 1964 GTO. The mortuary was right next door, and the sights and smells I still recall. In those years 200-300- deaths or more per week were not uncommon. The system was overloaded. "K" loaders were filled with the shipping caskets of fallen soldiers, unloaded from the then new C-141s. There was no honor guards, no ceremony, no fanfare, and certainly no photographers/press. Space was utilized in an aircraft "C-133 nose bay dock" to process the overflow, draped with canvas supported with cables. The 141s would leave for a SEA (South East Asia) run and come full with the pallets full of remains, 4X4 sixteen to a pallet. Times have certainly changed, and definitely for the better. All should honor and respect the fallen young, and old men who have served, not because they believed in political lies or ideology but because they felt they should, like the ones before them. But never forget, the disrespect shown those many thousands that fell so long ago. May they all rest well, having paid the ultimate price.

Sorry but your piece has its place and this wasn’t it! People who had family go through Dover during that period could read this or be told about it! No Sir! Wrong Place, Wrong Time!

[@BobMuir100]

@@daveenyart Dave thank you for your comments, in truth I cannot recall why I was so motivated. Maybe I had watched something else and the two caused my gander to rise. I do genuinely feel that we do need to take care when folk who are connected may still be alive. We must however we must also publish such pieces as we do need to know. So I am very sorry but I don’t know where it should be posted, but it must be posted somewhere. Kindest Bob

[@rkilldog1]

To CPlWeeks and MikeL0352, This video is intended to show the amount of respect that we, "Mortuary Affairs," show the fallen soldiers, as well as civilians who have been killed while assisting the military. I don't believe it would be fair to discredit an entire faction of the military for the fallacies of a few misguided individuals. What the Mortuary Affairs individuals do is second to none.

[@adventureguy4119]

The funeral Home In which I am employed, is ran by a husband and wife, who both got their start in mortuary affairs and they are know for theire second to none work.

a couple years ago i sat next to African American soldier in Hawaii, at the Polynesian Cultural Center, lovely guy. his wife was also present, i went and got them ice creams from the buffet, thanked him for his service ... and im an Australian, from Adelaide.. because in reality , Australia would be so easy to overrun by our northern neighbours, if not for the consequences of such an action from the U.S.A. im forever grateful... some people forget that on D-Day , 75% of the invading forces were made up of Americans, thousands died, it wasnt even their war for Christs Sake

[@BobMuir100]

Small (possibly large error) it was everyone’s war, if the world had allowed any action to go unchecked neither Hitler or the Emperor would have stopped, the USA, Australia, India would today be speaking ‘Facist’ and never allowed to do what we are doing right now. NEVER forget that NEVER forget that we wouldn’t have a single Jew, Gypsy, Romany, Homosexual or disable person, alive ANYWHERE! It was ALL our fight and it took all of us to win.

It's melted ice. We pack the remains/case with ice for transport since the remains are not embalmed yet.

[@primate4]

Much respect to you and military personnel assigned to your MOS. I was not in the military, but I am a huge supporter of our soldiers. I also have friends in the funeral business and have learned a great deal about the behind the scenes things that go on that the general public does not realize. It takes a special kind of person to be in that line of work. The care and special attention that you all give to honor the fallen with dignity is remarkable! I know that you do the absolute best job you can for the families of the fallen since it will be the last time that they get to view their loved ones if that option is available. Also, i can imagine that it is an emotional job that can have traumatic side effects for some people in your field. After all, you are human like the rest of us. If that’s the case, I hope that resources are available to help you. Thank you!!!!!!! 🇺🇸

It's got to be heart breaking having to look at fallen soldiers and prepare them for their families, its an honorable job but I got to say it must be very tough.

[@firemedic5100]

You talk to any of the people at Dover, and they will tell you that whatever job they are doing, from the embalmers, all the way to the ones getting the uniforms perfect, are doing their part to help provide closure for the families. Most actually look forward to going on duty to do their jobs. They do it because they care.

I’m a 92M and they showed us the movie during AIT at Fort Lee. Not sure it it’s PRT of the curriculum or was just the initiative from our instructor though

[@1am636]

i watched the movie in social studies class. our teacher used to be in the army, and he said he streamed this movie for 15 years, and each year he had 4 classes, and he cried every single time. so over 30 times of crying over this movie. he was a solider so it makes sense. and everyone had watery eyes, some people really cried hard. i had watery eyes, i was freaking shaking so i wouldnt cry. my social studies's teacher grandpa had a purple heart. his grandpa died at 18 years old in combat. and all of that was to educate us about why memorial day exists
