I don't mean to be mean, but didn't you already post this story?

[@aliberkozderya3112]

For people who might have missed it because it is not shown in an obvious way here, what we have in the last scene is a missing man formation. It's an aerial salute performed in memory of fallen pilots. The plane which pulls up in to the sky symbolizes the fallen pilot who has went up to the heavens. Look it up, it's beautiful.

@yat9779 Yah I know. In my opinion, the war isn't helping Russia or Ukraine. I wish it could just end, but sadly reality is it can't just end like that.

[@BULLITT4193]

Absolutely outstanding! The use of Hudners' actual voice really brings home the emotions in this.

[@Masonthebaconhair]

I watched the movie called "Devotion" and I gotta say it's a masterpiece in my book, with all the struggles he had to go through from his allies and enemies, just for a heartbreaking ending with a quote for all of us to hear, he will never be forgotten for his bravery and determination to fight until the end for his country.

[@MattKearneyFan1]

Not a bad movie but it could have been better

[@teidelmoo]

Was really suprised how good it was. Only watched it because it came out at roughly the same time as maverick and I really wanted to know why they thought that was a good idea.

[@lunseren]

I Saw the movie too, very good! Recommending to anyone watching this video👍👍

[@aurum5981]

I did not like the movie because in my opinion they could’ve done better to make it more accurate to the book, for example, they never shot down a Mig-15 fighter jet and Jesse blew up that bridge with bombs not rockets I’m pretty sure

[@henrydomanboi8327]

devotion was a good movie, It was sad that Jesse died. Jesse was an amazing person, and I am awed that Hudner risked capture to save him, where others would fly away and get help from helos

[@monhu6289]

Imagine, having a friend that would crash an airplane to try to save you. Now that is true devotion. Shame he couldn't save him. But at least he wasn't alone at the end.

[@Wolfywolf925]

This is yarnhub

[@A-ph4or]

That word choice is a great coincidence, they actually made a movie about them and its called "Devotion"

[@whiskervault]

What a milestone for this channel. Looking forward to the ever improving content!

[@laurencia2020]

When I watched the movie "Devotion", I literally cried at the end, thank you for remastering one of your best videos ❤

[@dusterl1472]

Damn, you guys have stepped up your graphics to an unbelievable level. The stories you tell are always some combination of inspiring, harrowing, heart breaking, and unbelievable. I'm truly pleased to know that someone with the talent and resources that you and your team (I assume you have a team) are dedicated to remembering and passing on the stories if those who may have otherwise faded to history... But stop making me all choked up damnit!!

[@suprchickn7745]

The missing man formation at the end as Jesse peels way into heavens brought a tear to my eye. I have become fascinated by Jesse's short but exemplary life and you have done his and Tom Hudner's memories a great service.

[@Dustin_Bins]

Very heartwrenching and amazing at the same time. The story telling ability at Yarnhurb through art and through narration has provided many a tear on this day. Thank you for telling this story.

[@jacksonis2rad196]

I remember asking a couple months ago for you guys to remake this story with your new animation style. I’m so happy to see it actually happened.

[@Eidolon1andOnly]

Glad this story was able to get this treatment. Truly one of the best stories you guys ever done.

[@lukeskywalket2894]

What hurts is that the movie flopped in theaters. Having read the book and seen the movie, it’s a fantastic adaptation, and I really wish more people were able to see it.

[@Jacques_JvR]

I was there when you published your first video about this story, so this is all the more exciting to see a newer fresh version of the story with amazing graphics. Keep on going yarnhub team, just dont burn yourselfs out tho.

[@deliveryman_dan]

Seeing how this was a remake of a video from 3 years ago, shows the amount of progress and how much your skill has grown in between the years. No words can describe just how beautiful the animations are, bravo!

What a heartbreaking shame to lose a pilot and friend of that calibre. Thank you for your sacrifice, Jesse. Your honor is an inspiration.

Very touching! I've known this story from other source before, but your rendition of all those eye gesture and facial gesture, plus the high similarity of their appearance to their photos, added lots of mood to the video!

YarnHubs animations were great the first time they made this video. V 2.0 is a real testament to how much they have improved and it’s astounding. I’d like to imagine that these brothers of the skies met at the gates above. “I’m sorry for failing to bring you home””you brought me home to my wife in your heart. That’s more that enough. Let’s take one more flight together”… then they fly through the skies of heaven

[@Para_MimeProductions]

Your first video of this made me wanna see the movie that came out. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@RickMiddleton-1]

As every week passes, and with each new video I am sounding more, and more like a broken record. Each week I say “this is Yarnhubs best video yet”. That is a testament to how everyone in their team improves, and strives for better with each passing video. The heart and passion of every story beams through the retelling of each pivotal episode. The courage, and honor shown in this story is what all of we Veterans, and those currently serving strive to uphold, and honor. This story is a reminder that even in the angst of uneasy times the best of humanity always tries to find a way to rise above it.
