To the 369 of you that gave this a thumbs down, what the hell is your problem? A wife waits 40 years for her Marine husband to return and when she is notified that they found where he died and can bring him home soon, you give it a thumbs down. It's obvious to me that you have no idea of the pain and suffering at the not knowing about the fate of your loved one. Despicable...that's just how I see you.

Baha Mousa was an Iraqi man who died while in British Army custody in Basra, Iraq in September 2003. The inquiry into his death found that Mousa's death was caused by "factors including lack of food and water, heat, exhaustion, fear, previous injuries and the hooding and stress positions used by British troops - and a final struggle with his guards". The inquiry heard that Mousa was hooded for almost 24 hours during his 36 hours of custody by the 1st Battalion of the Queen's Lancashire Regiment and that he suffered at least 93 injuries prior to his death. The report later details that Mousa was subject to several practices banned under both domestic law and the Geneva Conventions. Seven British soldiers were charged in connection with the case. Six were found not guilt, Cpl Donald Payne, pleaded guilty to inhumane treatment of a prisoner, was jailed for a year and dismissed from the Army.[1][2][3][4][5]

I was tasked out as a Casualty Officer with the Army in 2004-2005. I thought these cases, known as "historical remains" cases would be easier than notifications of Active Duty Casualties. They turned out to be just as hard.....mainly in seeing the old pain and grief being brought to the surface again. Every family was thankful for the closure that we were able to help bring them, but it showed me that time dows not heal all wounds....it just allows people to deal with it. Being able to help with closure and to hear the stories of the fallen Soldeir and their families was an honor for me. I had the honor of returning remains from WWII in both theatres of war, along with items and remains from the conflicts in Korea and Vietnam. This still occured even while I was handling stuff from the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I was shocked that we still had recovery teams functioning on prior wars while a new one was going on. This came back around to me when I buried my own son at age 20 this past June (it was illness, and not combat or anything military related). Time does not ease the loss. This video is very well done, and although it is not exactly how the process is done, it shows the emotions, dedication and functions of how it plays out for all of those involved.

[@MrCRAIGSHILL]

That was one job i would never do, rather do anything in the world then that shit! would have ate a bullet after the first one. Sorry for your loss

[@benerval7]

MrCRAIGSHILL I am/was (befroe retirement) an artilleryman. The NCOES schools NEVER mentioned that any SFC or above could be tasked with doing that. I was in shock when I was "voluntold" it was my turn. They didnt get easier.....but unfortunately I became very skilled at handling the job. In a way I felt that I would rather do it for the families and the fallen Soldier, rather than having a random guy do it and possibly making it harder on the families. The families deserved perfection and I felt it was the least I could do. Truthfully though it really did impact me in the long run. I had been on the giving and receiving end of artillery and small arms fire....but really was not bothered by that......but after my time of doing the CNO/CAO job was done, some really intense bottled up thoughts and dreams started to come out.

[@MrCRAIGSHILL]

The year before we left we were told we may get tasked to do that job at Hood, my SSG told me he wanted me to do it and to get ready, i told him i rather be sent to levingworth or even reclassed as a low level pog then to do that job! everyone got mad, thought i was disrespecting the fallen... in reality i couldn't handle having to tell the parents, wives, and possibly children of the fallen of their loss! and i was right the thing that hurt the worst over there was losing friends, and the thing that gets to me the most now is watching *(real/fake) door knockers do that shit. i see their faces and everything with their deaths when i see that shit

[@benerval7]

MrCRAIGSHILL I uderstand that....very well. In a way I lucked out....all of my guys came back from Iraq in one piece, but I guess that each casualty I dealt with back here then felt like a Soldier that was now assigned to me. I did hold it maybe a bit too close. There were a few people that I dealt with that could not do that job.....and I never felt any anger or disrespect towards them. Not everyone could do it.....just like there were things that other Soldiers might do that I would not be able to do. (one of my biggest worries was to be forced to fire on a car/car bomb with a terrorist and kids inside......I was never sure I wold be able to pull the trigger on a kid)

Sacrifice for what? 1971, I was 21 and in college with a deferment from being drafted. Then came that summer and they took my deferment away and announced that we were all to be given a number on TV by the Sec. of Defense who would draw out a number out of a barrel filled with ping pong balls with numbers on them. I was vehemently against the war. I was dead set against the war. You could tell by watching the news and reading the reports that this was a civil war, that the South Vietnamese government was corrupt and the fear of communism was unwarranted. Then the Pentagon Papers came out and the cat was out of the bag. US involvement in VietNam was fruitless and they knew it. I decided I was not going to let the US Government make a war criminal out of me. I was not going to let my future be decided by some idiot pulling ping-pong balls out of a basket. I decided that if I got a low number I would not serve. I would go to Canada or something but I would not kill for the US Government. As luck would have it I got a high number and I was never called to serve. But this whole mess still bothers me today. I've been to the wall in DC, and I watch the veterans wear their stupid Viet Vet baseball caps. The real people that should be honored are the 100,000 who marched on DC in 1970 and slept on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to protest the war. The real people that should be honored are the soldiers who resisted the war and had to serve time in jail. The real people that should be honored are people like Howard Zinn and others who spoke out publicly against the war. They helped stop that war and they saved the lives of countless Vietnamese and US soldiers. I visited Cambodia in 2009. I visited the killing fields of the Khmer Rouge and I know the story of how 2 million were killed at their hands; an atrocity on top of the war that many say never would have happened without the US involvement and pullout. I've seen the war-wounded amputees in Phnom Penh. There was no glory in that war, there were no heroes in that war, and those that went and fought deserve no more remembrance than those that stayed home and resisted. That's the truth

Old men start wars that sacrifices both the youth and future of their country. The lesson is never learned and often repeated. This video is a great honor to those young men and their sacrifice.

[@klo3496]

Very touching. Thank you. And thank you to all our servicemen.

Wow.........a Marine....his wife ..and eternal love...Praise God....Some of us understand the ''forever''!.............That was special and a powerful video..and statement...well done!

COL, (Cry Out Laud). Don't know why I have only just seen this, but from an old vet - Not Forgotten! Thanks for the Sacrifice!!!

[@hughjunit2503]

Such a powerful and humbling insight into what it's like to not know where your one true love has gone. Bring them home, bring them all home where they belong and can finally rest, in peace.............this was my father's war and I am here today only because of the bravery of 9 other men whom I'll never meet in this life, who saw it better to die to save my dad then let him die alone and save themselves..........I could never thank them enough even if I could meet them..........I miss you dad, glad you are finally at peace

[@TheGamingStoner7432]

this is what should be like everyday with people helping other people not saying our country is bad just for the person we elected not because one persons skin color not because one belief we should all support one eachother and we should all stand by each others side and never ever let eachother down because the moment we do is the moment that we fail as friends its the moment we fail as people and its the moment we fail to support the ones we love GOD BLESS AMERICA

There were so many thoughts going through my head, heart and soul, I didn't know what to write. But I did want to write something, so I'll tell you this. This 3.51 minute video has more depth, is a better love story, and hits at the heart far better than movies like Endgame and Marvels movies. To those that have served before me, I salute you.

Простой солдат, отдающий Долг Родине,не виноват в ошибках своего руководства - он просто исполняет приказ. С огромным уважением и почетом из России. Спасибо, что чтите и помните павших воинов! Горе не имеет границ, а честь и доблесть должны быть чтимы в веках!

This is why we reenlist, why we don’t want to leave, the feeling of being left behind is unbearable for us until our brothers tell us it’s ok, I’ll see you when I get out as well. Some never do. Fights never over

Tears flooded my eyes on this tribute. The Brotherhood I belong to, all those who served in Vietnam, especially those who did not come back. runs strong in my blood even after 54 years. Wishes for different outcomes back then will never come true...ever.

What a wonderful and yet tearful experience watching this over and over. As a wounded OEF/OIF combat veteran I always have had problems in keeping emotions to myself. This magical work hits the mark like nothing else. Thank you so very very much. Also, can anyone cite the specific name of the background music for this video?? I would like to record it for simply listening on some of these lonely nights. Thank you!!

[@MyDailyPerspective]

To the eleven of you who gave this a thumbs down....you have that right. It is because of the brave men and women of our Armed Forces team who provide assurances that you can give thumbs down. Regardless of your thoughts....we fight for you.

Yep, that's right, but they are still PUKES.

@james cordan do you understand the historical context of Vietnam? We were there to stop the spread of communism. Communism inherently creates vast levels of human suffering. Even today. Look at Hong Kong and North Korea.

From a grateful Nation and a grateful American. . . "You Are Not Forgotten" Your honor lives on in those you fought and died for. In every war from the beginning of time, Veterans, especially American Veterans, have been sacrificing their youth, their innocence, and their lives so we, a free nation and world can live free of tyranny and ungodly horrors. Veterans of all wars, I honor you, because you answered the call, because you gave ALL, because you gave that ALL to me, a humble America. You are what make America, this world GREAT. GOD Bless you!

While surfing the net I came upon this short video.......Thank you for that moment of remembrance. I'm in my late '60's now. You've awakened in me the friends that I've lost during the Viet Nam conflict. I really never forgot them. But put them on the shelf of my mind. So once in awhile I could shake the dust off and hug them. Thank you and thanks to the men and women still on patrol.

Excellent video which left me sobbing. My most vivid memory from those times while mustering out is not of death and destruction but of getting off a plane and being continuously spit on and jeered at by protestors. For years I often thought that I should have never stepped off that plane. Still ... I wore my uniform proudly, stood tall, and never bowed my head in shame or rebuked my tormentors. To this day, I cannot understand why my countrymen were scorning me and I probably never will. During all the years after getting off that plane, I have remained patriotic and have a deep respect and love for my country. I am now old and am looking forward to resting with my brothers in the near future. Semper Fi my brothers.

[@louiewatson9389]

[@hijimhere]

I am humbled each time I hear of Vietnam Veteran, MIA and KIA. At one time in my late teens I was minded to get to America somehow to volunteer for service. Whatever you believed then and now honour and respect cost nothing. History repeats itself there are service personnel today making the same sacrifices.

[@reddevilparatrooper]

I am still in service with our country even though I am retired. I was a soldier back in my youth and served both peace and war. My oath to my country and service to this nation is forever. No matter where they send me to deploy or fight by the elected leaders bad or good. My oath is to this nation and the Constitution of the United States of America. I know. I did it , I have seen it. Service to nation was my goal for 23 years. We all differ to opinions on how this country should be ruled and run. One thing in my heart. Our nation will not be put on chains by Communism and under a totalitarian authority in this modern day. But live free under our Constitution and we swore by it on the first sentence of our oath. We shall never forget the men who are missing because they would have done the same if I was. I swore allegiance only to the US and to the people. Leaders don't matter. As in the Army motto "This We'll Defend". I did fight hard overseas in other countries with my soldiers with them. Better over there than over here. My country, my people, my home... Don't FUCK WITH IT!!!

@@math67000 lol...you do realize that if it wasn't for the U.S., that most of the world would be speaking German, Japanese , or Russian. if we kept all the territory that we have taken back from our enemies, the U.S. would rule 3/4's of the world. in most places around the world, only thing keeping some countries safe, and free from invasion is the might of the U.S. military. the U.S. is truly the world's super power, unlike most countries, the U.S. can survive without help from other countries. we have one of the largest oil reserves, food, steel, etc...only thing that kept england from being starved out was the U.S. sending food, weapons, supplies to them, even before it entered WW2. as a Admiral in the Japanese navy said after pearl harbor.."i fear we have only woken a sleeping giant.

Just found - recommended by YT. This was hard. My military serving family goes back to the Civil War. My dad helped free Leyte and Luzon; my other WW2 uncles fought in the Pacific, one a Marine on Iwo Jima and survived to go on to be a paratrooper in the Korean War, PH recip. My only child was chosen to serve in the United States Coast Guard; that's when I started making stained glass windows honoring our military men and women. This POW/MIA as my pic - I made and sent to Guam for a young (then only 40) yr-old MSGT in the US Air Force to leave on the island to honor those who never came home. This is a hard watch but necessary watch. God bless you all and thank you all who served. from a US CG mom, believer and follower in Lord Jesus Christ. NO FEAR. < MARANATHA
