Honor Walk: North Florida Regional Medical Center

Across the nation, hospitals and members of their staff show respect for organ donors in a simple but unbelievably special ceremony called an 'Honor Walk.' Watch this video of a recent Honor Walk at North Florida Regional Medical Center in Gainesville, Florida.

[@Tlyna1952]

I am a retired nurse who could not help but start crying during this video. It was both heartwarming and heartbreaking to watch. May this gentleman find eternal peace and thank you for your service both in life and death. Rest well.

[@tata011670]

Unbelievable that this hospital chooses to honor this soldier and organ donor. I wish that this act of honor can spread coast to coast of our great nation. I salute you and thank you sir.

[@ms.martiegallego8834]

This Gentleman is A Hero !! A Vet, and a organ donor !! A real Hero !! God Bless Him and He lives on through His gift of organs !!

This is wrong to donors to do that's not right at all lots of people who got really sick and die doctors and nurses shouldn't take other people heart kidneys bones away from the people

[@msuehale]

A touching farewell for a person that gives life to others through their own death. Thank you sir.

As an organ recipient from a donated organ this touches me immensely. Thank you for your service and your kind donation to continue life for someone else. We don't need our organs in heaven.

[@Ecthelion1967]

The Lord works in mysterious ways. I am happy that you got a life from a doner. From the apple of Eden mankind got free will. My free will is that i belive in the Lord. You and youre doner may not shaere my faith. But i will keep you in my prairs.

[@wendykrause415]

No that's not good to donation from people because people have problems like smoking drugs and drinking alcohol beer wine mix up drinks that's true

@Judy Duckett I am sorry for your loss. I hope your husband did not suffer much. It is apparent that he had a loving and devoted wife by his side until the end. As for the honor walk that I never knew existed until this video, I hope the men and women lining the hallway know how much this small act of respect meant to you and your family.

[@heatherkmetz6136]

This is such a beautiful and touching thing that hospitals do for those that as they pass from this world, they are giving this precious gift of life to others who can benefit from this. As you are taken down these long hallways, this is just the beginning of your long journey into the hands of God. May he rest in peace and I thank him so much for his service. I will also pray for his family that this can give them some comfort.

[@janeforst8464]

To the man who not only served his country in life, but also in his death. I don't know you; I don't know anything about your life, family, or friends, but I love you. I love you because of your service to our country while you were alive, and I love you in your passing into eternity as you have your organs given to a person or people needed them so they could live a fuller life. Your heart is beating in the chest of another person. Your lungs were given to someone who's labored breathing can now inhale and exhale without pain, your kidneys went to someone who had to live with the help of a dialysis machine. Your liver was given to someone who perhaps suffered with cirrhosis or some other fatal liver disease, your eyes now are seeing the world by someone who could no longer see. And your skin is alive and well on a person who needed a skin graft after being burned, much like my son who received a graft after an extremely serious burn. You are a hero. You are alive and well in eternity and here among us who live our every day lives. So thank you, my friend and my hero. May God continue to bless you and your loved ones.
