USMC SSgt Robert Cox---A Heroes Homecoming...Services....Honors

He later worked as a radio operator during OIF. He served in four overseas deployments, two to Iraq and two to Afghanistan. Robert received numerous decorations, among them the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with gold star and Combat Action Ribbon. He was most recently assigned to the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion, Special Operations Command, Camp Lejeune, NC. He was a Critical Skills Operator.
SSgt Robert Cox was one of the Heroes that tragically perished in the crash of a KC-130 transport plane in rural Mississippi on July 10, 2017. The crash resulted in the deaths of all on board, 15 Marines and one Navy Corpsman. The flight had originated from MCAS Cherry Point, NC.
Robert was born in Santa Paula, CA. He attended schools in Fillmore, Ventura and Thousand Oaks, eventually graduating from Thousand Oaks High School in 2007.
SSgt Cox is remembered as “just the best person in the world. He was intelligent, and he loved his country and his family”. “He always had a book and was reading something. He was a really good guy. One of the best Marines I ever knew”.
SSgt Cox is survived by his father, mother, brother, sister and many other relatives.

Such sadness and tears for the loss of your beloved one. The outpouring love, honor, respect from your community is so touching. From all that spoke at his funeral, what a very nice, sweet, kind, giving, sharing, loving person he has always been. You were and are very blessed to have had him being part of your family. Rest In Peace and know that God is watching over him now as he continues to protect and serve our country. I am so very sorry for your loss.

It does not matter, US Military, Police, Firefighter, First Responder, we are all brothers and sisters. You may hear of us veterans joking of who is the best, however, go against us and see how we operate as a team to move against you, Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines or Navy. Active Duty or National Guard doesn't matter, we are all a team, Police, Firefighters and First Responders are with us, they protect us everyday. Thank You SSgt Cox for your sacrifice and service to our great nation. I am a veteran of military and police service, I am a member of the Patriot Guards, we ensure the funeral is uninterrupted and carry's on with the dignity and respect so deserved. It is an Honor to be a part of these teams to support our nation.

I am curious about the song that is playing in the beginning of this video. It is familiar to me but I can't place it. Does anyone know the name and who its by?

[@yareliflores6959]

orahhhhhhh soldier

[@loretoayalahernandez403]

😢

[@sanchezking6188]

I think it may be called ironic - and even moreso tragic - that you survive being in a warzone 4 times and then die in a plane crash back home.

[@tylorc8184]

Excuse my ignorance but what is the difference between the marines in whit pants vs blue

[@HonoringOurFallen]

Officer and non officer

[@tylorc8184]

Laura Herzog thank you

[@davidcovarubias4753]

You are incorrect. I believe the white trousers with the dress blues blouse is a parade uniform while the blue trousers are the regular dress blues uniform. The white trousers are only worn for special occasions and are worn by enlisted and officers.

These Patriots riders should mind there own business

[@janeym335]

Alot of times they are requested by the families because there is a church group that protests military funerals and the flag and they are there to protect the family. I have actually watched a video of this church group screaming at a military funeral and stomping the flag and the bikers hid them from the family. The bikers are all veterans...

[@MAXIMUSISADOG]

It is their business they are vets and they love all vets past and present. Maybe they'll ride for me when I pass one day.
