TAKATU
Today we send you off into gods hands & take over for you. Stand Down - END OF MISSION BROTHER 💯❤ R.I.P BUCKY

[@user-ns1jj3ks5s]

With much respect from a United Staes Army retired vet.

[@meeruisland]

What a send off to a warrior. Doesn't matter where in the world we serve, we all have our own way to honor our heroes, UK veteran

[@michaelmosley5412]

Now, THAT'S a send off!!!

[@mstrdiver]

The Haku sendoff brings as many tears to my eyes as the playing of Taps for a US military funeral. Mstrdiver - US Army - 1973 to 1995 Beannaich Dia na h-Albannaich anns a ’Ghàidhlig! ~~ Seas gu cinnteach

[@jmpersonal2402]

NZ Military Forces might be small, but they carry themselves with the dignity, passion and integrity of soldiers long gone. The sight of a Lemon Squeezer still brings a tear to my eye.

[@lorenzolopez7434]

In 1985 I had the opportunity to serve alongside the NZ Army and the privilege of observing the Haka. Truely a powerful and moving honor.

[@TheWizardOfTheFens]

Never single occasion that these send offs don’t make me sob. As a British veteran from a long line of veterans, I believe that all fallen warrior should be sung to their grave. It’s what cultures have always done and it’s good to see it still carried out in some places. I don’t know you, but I know of you by the the respect of your brothers. Take your rightful place in the hall of the fallen. I’ll meet you there.

GO my fallen to maker from ret .officer correction FIJI rip

[@lauriecoates9699]

Such Patriotism is to be admired and is sadly lacking in the UK - RIP Warrior - Valhalla awaits ..

[@threethreedelta]

My god....!! That extracted tears of respect from me. I really really felt that inside my soul. What a great way to send a warrior on his way. Big respect, from a humble UK Veteran.

New Zealand has a culture and they are proud of it.

[@phbrinsden]

Gotta love the Kiwis and the Hakka. Great send off for a comrade in arms. Respect from a Brit in Texas. God speed warrior.

[@Carol-D.1324]

I just wish I could express how beautiful and moving I found this. It reaches deep inside you and just touches your heart. The love and respect they all showed for their brother in arms. Beautiful. Just absolutely beautiful. Now.. I need to go get a Kleenex. 😭🤧

[@ashpitcher3]

Massive respect to the Gunners! You sent your Brother off proud. Honestly, the best Haka I've seen and a fitting tribute to a warrior. Ubique.

[@georgecatana9081]

Why did he died

[@icebergrose8955]

The march the pallbearers did was exactly the same as the bearers who carried Queen Elizabeth II. It's nice to know our soldiers get that respect too. Aroha ❤

[@ZATennisFan]

I don’t know if there is any better way to send a warrior to Valhalla than with a Haka… It’s so raw and primal

[@surpenc]

That's a send off.Respect from 🇬🇧. God accept brother bucky into your kingdom.

[@user-vd6xv8mg9z]

Those are Myths my mate. All will be judged in the end and we are without excuse best believe that. There’s only one of two places my mate and that so called place “Valhalla” ain’t one of them💯

[@abrahamwharepapa1604]

We will REMEMBER THEM...

[@markl2322]

Oh, how I wish that when my brother U.S. Marines were down there during WWII they had adopted this amazing, and intense way of sending our warriors HOME! It would have been such an amazing and heart building thing for us young Recruits at San Diego or Paris Island to learn these chants, and what they meant for the journey a fallen warrior needed to hear! Sometimes people have this idea that "primitive people" don't know how to show faith, and devotion to the God that lives and breathes, and works to make them human...but I have found that this is not true. People know how to worship GOD, in His 1,000 different faces, and in 10,000 different ways of faith. By the way....God bless you all. Reverend M.A. Lauer.

[@jg2072]

This is a strong send off for a brother in arms. It is incredible. I will be sending off my brother this week from a illness. Best wishes to the family of the fallen.

[@chrishay8385]

Wow what a way to send off a warrior Amazingly emotional watch

[@jimkeappock7558]

There is NO OTHER CHANT MORE POWERFUL THAN THE HAKA!!

[@robdykes3659]

Rather have the Scottish bagpipes at my funeral, the haka is all about violence and hatred should be banned

[@helgedonath1524]

[@hugodesrosiers-plaisance3156]

I really wish the Haka tradition would spread around the world. Or maybe I was just born in the wrong country. Such a beautiful expression of raw and genuine Humanity.

[@user-oh4yd5uh4e]

I´m not too sure about that. They close those boxes really good.

[@peterholmesgavleman]

A very moving tribute. However, I noticed that the female soldier on the left side of the screen, whilst the Haka was being performed, was not bending knees and remained standing for most of the ceremony. Is there a reason for this.

[@ohnean1]

You'll notice that all women in this haka are standing in parts, they have different protocols than men when it comes to haka, they also do not pūkana with the protruding tongue, they frown the mouth and widen and roll the eyes. Kia ora

[@peterholmesgavleman]

@@ohnean1 thanks for the clarification.

[@maxclickenhof1049]

What is Gunner?

[@riyaazleroux8302]

A military designation for a soldier that shoots from a big gun or cannon. I was a Bombardier in Anti-Aircraft which is similar to an Infantry Corporal.

[@waldemarlarrauri8119]

The man who operates a large gun or machine gun
