Marine Corps Body Bearers

The Marine Corps Body Bearers are looking for new recruits. The Body Bearers are an elite group of 15 Marines stationed in Washington, D.C., whose primary mission is to bear the caskets at funerals for Marines, former Marines, and Marine family members at Arlington National Cemetery and the surrounding cemeteries in the National Capitol Region. The Body Bearer section is also the saluting battery at 8th and I, firing three 40mm cannons and rendering honors for special events and visiting dignitaries.

I now understand why everything was so precise at my cousin's funeral after he was brought home from Vietnam. Tom's parents wishes were granted, even right down to the smallest detail. Bless these men that told of their "brother."

I was my grandfathers Pallbear it was not easy. I seen military funerals in movies and games but never in real life until when my grandfather was laid to rest. He served in the navy during the Korean war on board the battleship Missouri. It was the hardest day of my life.

[@shwngbr]

I will never forget my Fathers funeral. He passed from a service related illness. USMC 68-70 Vietnam. Rest Easy.

[@rollotomassi6374]

My dad was a WW2 combat Marine veteran ……he passed in 2004 and the Marine Corps allowed three Marines to dedicate his funeral…..it was sad and more emotional when they played taps. Everyone was in tears, but the Marines were so professional and people paying their respects many came up afterwards to comment on how beautiful the Marine Corps tribute was…..Semper Fi.

Not even sure I blinked until they were completely finished and handing it to my Mom. It was definitely something I will never forget! Thank you to all that serve our great nation. Your sacrifice and dedication to protect the lives of people like me is greatly appreciated and never forgotten! God Bless you all!!! ❤️🤍💙

[@glenncourtney4876]

I was on a handful of burial details in the 90s, mainly WWII Marines but there was one Vietnam Marine. It was all voluntary. It sucked but there was never any shortage of Marines volunteering when it was announced we were needed for a burial detail, it was an honor.

"Please accept this flag..." is when what it was that my older brother gave his life for really hit home... He didn't give his life serving his country... he gave his life, without hesitation, to protect his brothers that he loved so much. And as devastating as it all was for me and my parents... proud is how i would describe the feelings i have about my brother's death. The men he died saving all made it home... so he did not die in vain... and his final act on this earth was one of courage, honor, and loyalty. He died a warrior's death... with his boots on and fighting beside his brothers. Celebrating his finest hour always seemed more appropriate to me. Rest easy Marine... We got the watch now... "The eagle born to those who pledged their lives and sacred honor was smiled upon by God and freed from chains and iron collar. He is held aloft on unity and by history revered; for preserving peace through strength, his wings now reach across two hundred years. But for each of those and one year more, God has smiled upon The Corps. From the Barbary Coast to the Eastern Sand... by sword... by gun... or by bare hand... So it's been and shall be weighed... though many are born... few are "made". Faithful Always... they shall remain... dogs to loose when war is waged..." Semper Fi Marine...
