Thanks Bryan for posting this. One of the best movies ever. People need to watch and remember.

Amen.

Beautiful sentiments brother...good on. you:)

Thank you, Bryan, for posting this. I remember watching 'TAKING CHANCE' years ago and my eyes burned for days because of how hard I cried. I'm a military mom, military daughter, niece, and great granddaughter of the Civil War. I volunteered for 10 yrs helping serving military and wounded veterans and veterans at risks through my post ( I was Ladies Auxilary because of my dad and son), and the planned demic took ALL of my ability to help veterans away. (We're in Calif - Commiefornia.) Whenever I get the chance, I thank veterans, welcome them home, God bless them, and to Marines I tell them of how my uncle was 20 on Iwo Jima, survived it, saw his brothers raise the 2nd larger flag, and go on to save 5 of his brothers in the 82nd in the Korean War. Before the SOUND OF FREEDOM, my only child was already rescuing those being trafficked and shot and stabbed them the traffickers/kidnappers and drug smugglers. I've stood in countless flag lines at military funerals and held Gold Star Parents and made them stained glasses to honor their children and spouses. It is my honor, it should be all our duty - they earned it and we enjoy FREEDOM because of THEM. God bless you and thank you again.

My husband went to Australia a few times as a US Naval officer in the early 2000’s. The second time he went he happened to be there for Anzac Day. He was very moved so much so that he taught our children the origin of Anzac Day and the Australian and New Zealand soldiers that fought so bravely in WWI and all the wars that your country’s soldiers served in from then until today. Their sacrifices must never be forgotten.

Thank You for your service Brother, Soldiers may never meet face to face, may not even be on the same battlefield at the same time, but will none the less form Alliances that transcends all, God Bless You, and all Our Aussie Brother Soldiers! Again "Thank You for your Service Brother!"

In this "great nation" our Vietnam vets were despised by their country. Spit on by her people and ignored by the government that they served. Even to this day the least respected of all vets are those who served during that conflict. As one who was unable to serve, I make it my mission to apologize to each Vietnam vet I see for the disgraceful treatment they received. When they came home there were no parades, no cheering crowds and no sense of appreciation for the sacrifices made. The worst part of all is those people raised a generation that does not appreciate what those brave men and women gave them. Let no veteran go unappreciated, revered or neglected. We do not know them all, but we owe them all. Not my quote, so don't get on me for using it.

We are all brothers

You do not offend. The Australian military doesn’t take a back seat to anyone. We weren’t always respected, but we respect you. Simper Fi.

Amen

@@edwardhayes6113 Truth that.

Every single day🇺🇸

@@edwardhayes6113 Amen brother

Absolutely!! Every minute of every day….sounds patriotic……but to those who have not been there….. we can’t forget. Some moments are harder than others…..but we are proud none the less!,, Knowing what we know now…would we do it again? 99.7 percent of OS would say….ABSOLUTELY….show me the plane…

Wow! Thank you for sharing that memory!

This is a great movie. Certainly an eye opener.

Semper Fidelis!

Thank you so much for your service..both of my sons are Marines it all came out of the blue single mom we never talked about the service.. well let me say it looks good on my boys..well men

Respect.

God Bless

Thank you for your service to the Marine Corp and the young soldier you escorted home.

Bless you, Robyn, for sharing the story of your unimaginably sad loss. That you have found peace and gratitude speaks volumes; my heart goes out to you and your family. We’ll never forget.... ♥️🇺🇸💙

Your loss is every America's loss, we honor and thank him for his service.

God bless you and your family. Your sacrifice means the world to me and my family.

I am truly sorry for your loss ma'am.

God bless you Robyn and your family.

I believe this was the second time Kevin Bacon has portrayed a US Marine, and I have to say, that both times he did the uniform justice. RIP ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO GAVE ALL

@@safriedrich1631 the other time being A Few Good Men correct?

Bacon’s tears at the end were not him acting, I believe it was him realizing he was playing the most significant and important role of his career.

What's the name of the movie

I lost my older brother in Mali(where Swedish Armed Forces go to serve) about five years ago. That's when i decided to become a cop. I miss you, i remember your life and the times we had and when you looked out for me as i grew up

AMEN!

"all who have bled...shall be my brother forever." Including the enemy?

Hoorah Marine! Thank you. Staff Sergeant, USAF Security Forces OIF Veteran 07-08, 2010

Good on you sir! SALUTE!

Me too.

God bless I thank all of you who served and sacrificed for our country

Thank you sir. For all that you’ve done. Those 13 souls live on in you and all of us service members everyday. You and the 13 of them are heros. Thank you

They are not lost, they are with you forever. You are their lasting epitaph until the changing of the guard where you join them and someone else takes your place.

Live Sir.....Live !

Sir ... tell me it was ok I didn't go. Its killing me. I served. I was a tanker. I was a good tanker. But I got hurt and got out when my enlistment was up before everything happened. All these years later, its still killing me. All of my brothers from the Big Red One that have died or got hurt bad .... all of the tears and screaming at night and it still hurts. Please tell me its ok. Thank you, brother for what you did.

If you're crying tears for them, that alone tells me they were in good hands. I know your pain brother. Not to the amount of 13, but I understand it. I lost my best friend. He died in my arms. Out of 11 remaining men in my squad only 7 of them are left. The rest committed suicide.

😢😢😢😢

Your dad was all the way and then some. I am also a paratrooper 82nd. You be safe. He’s running security on you every day. 🇺🇸

OOH RAH!

Is this a movie? What's the name pls

@@simonsim5933 / the movie is titled Taking Chance, truly worth watching

@@timothyedmiston8756 thank u. I was wondering the same. Definitely will be watching.

HONOR. COURAGE. COMMITMENT.

Tim, I agree, one of the hardest to watch. After seeing it, I bought the DVD so show the family...haven't watched it since. Served as a Casualty Assistance Officer, very grateful to everyone from The Theater, Angel Flight, Dover who care for the remains, Base/Post Casualty Assistance Teams, Body Escorts, Funeral Party, Airlines / Kalitta Charters who execute the contracts with such honor and professionalism (that's a real comfort to the families)...yes it is all for our fallen but, in reality, at this time its also all about the families who have to live with the loss of a loved one. I sometimes wondered during that time as CAO and to this day, who really pays 'the ultimate price' when our nations treasures die?

what is the name of this movie?

Puesss haré mi comentario en la lengua de M.de Cervantes Saavedra en CASTELLANO...allí donde vais 🇺🇸 la ignorancia y la ansiedad de PODER DESTRUYE CIVILIZACIONES & sus IDIOSINCRACIAS ..

Platoon does a good job of it.

The movie is called "Taking Chance"

SALUTATIONS

I am so sorry for your loss. My nephews both came home.

@@colleen3107 I'm glad they did make it back safely.

I was a Stewardess during Vietnam era. I can’t tell you how many soldiers we brought home in the pit, especially to small cities. We always knew because the soldier escort was the last one one the plane. Very sad days when the families met the plane. Forever etched in my mind.

@@Maggs708 Thank you 🙏🏼. Thank you……

My mom and I buried my dad in 2014. He was a Vietnam vet and passed from cancer. We’re lucky to have a national cemetery about 15 minutes from our home and that’s where he’s buried. The saddest and proudest day of my life is when I saw that flag draped casket, heard the gun salute, and TAPS playing in the distance. Until you’ve stood by that flag draped casket, or have been handed a folded flag, you just can’t understand. 🇺🇸

Losing a Brother, is harder than losing a family member. I don't know why... it just does.

Well said

The film is called Taking Chance. I highly recommend it. I would imagine it might be hard for you to watch but then again, could be great therapy. I thank you for what you did. I watched it alone the first time and sobbed.

Mr. Moore, this is one of the best movies ever made. I highly encourage you to watch it with some loved ones sometime.

You are never alone.NO ONE EVER GETS LEFT BEHIND AND WE NEVER EVER GIVE UP.........

Semper Fi...

Thank you for your service sir.

They will never understand! Better tell it to a tree, to a dog, to the wind or to another brother-in-arms.

Twenty five years after returning from Vietnam, I wrote a poem. The poem was my therapy for my PTSD that was blossoming in my life at age 49. I told someone...I told ME. It helped me go on when all seemed black...the night terrors, the feeling if distrust in everyone around me, the startling sounds, the details of the events. It can be read at the Co. A, 227th AHB, 1st Cavalry website under 'stories'. It is titled "My Package". It helped me see that life goes on...with it or without it. Sure, I think about it nearly every day, BUT it doesn't hold me back much anymore. VN '69-70

As it should always be...🌹🙏✌️

Respect from ireland

My son makes trip from Ohio to Jersey every year since 2014 to honor a friend lost during my sons time in Afghanistan.

@@martin7955 amen,i second this may my former uncle by marriage us army sgt chris kozlowski r.i.p

@@donniereese9271 tell your son THANK YOU for HIS service

Mine, too. Very powerful...

❤

Some vet graves get overlooked for a flag on Memorial Day. I make sure each grave has one.

@@Jleed989 thank you!

That is a very great honor that you do. My God bless you for your service to him let us never forget these brave and wonderful people who served

@@Anonymous-ff5wr thank you. We will never thank them enough, but it is rewarding to at least do a little.

god love you man...and our service members...and NO more wars...our people have bled enough.

I'm sick and tired of the fighting. Seen too much way too much. And for what what has it achieved?

Thank you fro your sacrifices for our Nation.

Semper Fi Doc.

As the saying goes, “The Marines have their few good men....Navy Corpsmen” 81-85.

My time was way before yours, 0331 from 71-77. I am a United States Marine! God bless all Navy Corpsmen! We Marines love our Navy Corpsmen! Semper Fidelis forever! Oohrah

Corpsman up!! Thanks Doc....

Thank you for his service!

@@boyscouts83712 thank you for your husband's service

Amen.

@@Thundering_third_0311 THANK YOU for YOUR service

@@brandongrenier436 69=70 17years old

Nice to know there is somebody who recognizes what the day is about. Paying tribute to those that served and especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice. You cannot thank them because they are buried all over the world, from Normandy in France, italy, the south Pacific, a whole ship at pearl harbor, 1100 men lie at the bottom of a harbor. Never had the chance to live life to the fullest, their lives cruelly snuffed out by a bomb, a bullet, a mine or a booby trap. As you "celebrate" (remember is more appropriate) this weekend remember it is about those who served and currently serve. It is not about stuffing your face with barbecue. It is not about going to home depot and getting a deal on a washer dryer, nor going to bed, bath, and beyond and getting bedsheets on a memorial day "white sale". It is about THEM, those who served. Remember that. I served 4 years, the last 2 with B co, 3/187th infantry battalion, 101st airborne division...MY OATH IS ETERNAL.

Hooah Sir, this video is of the upmost and honored tribute that I have seen. I’m thankful for this video and will share it in 2021 Memorial weekend.

I'm sending this to all my friends!

Find Gardens of Stones. It’s another view of war, and casualties of war.

@@rebeccamartinak3441 This made me very happy to hear. If there is one thing I want this video to do, is to help our younger generation realize how blessed they are to have the freedom's they do. I fear that the history of all those who fought for us are being forgotten and in some cases vilified. Bless you and thank you for sharing, this made my day.

Certainly a deserved observance for a fallen hero

Platoon gives a different perspective from the 'loss' of someone returning from combat.

Amen 🙏!

@David Vantress I'd like to meet the young man you fired, but then I would go to jail for assault when I was done with him!!!

I do not try to start to watch since I have yet to finish watching it since it came out.

Me too

This is tough but important to watch. I'm fortunate all my friends have come home. This is a duty that would be nearly impossible for me. God bless all the men and women of our Armed forces 🙏.

It is a long weekend...remembering those who gave their lives for my freedom. Remembering those near and dear, takes its toll, and makes these days seem longer as well. The brave, the free, and giving them all their due. Take it as you wish, but this weekend is not one of celebration other than celebrating the lives of those gone too soon, far too soon...

Damn straight!

@Bryan Keen Thank you for uploading, it's a beautiful tribute .

HOOAH!🇺🇸

Roger that Bryan.

Sorry brother for your loss. My time was in peacetime and only got caught out there in 1 near miss heading towards a hot zone while overseas, but my unit turned around. It certainly made me have an idea of what was to come, but yet I did not do the deed as it was not our time. I have have had friends that did, but they are not the same. I am a DAV volunteer now so I deal with some bad PTSD vets and I feel for the ones who still suffer. Sorry again, but no words can be expressed for what this does to their loved ones.

My nephew served in Iraq. He came home alive. 2years later he killed himself. His memorial was attended to by friends and family. And at least 10 marines. He was buried at Arlington. I think of him of. He was born on my birthday.

Did not commit suicide. Balfour Beatty murder.

5:40 My father was a Vietnam Veteran. He was a Spearhead in the US Army. I lost him in February 2018. I shook to the core when the Honor Guard here in NC gave the 21 gun salute. We had watched this together when it was 1st released. Bless all of you who served for our freedom and those of you who are still fighting!

Wonderfully said, I spent two decades on active duty and your recommendation is precisely right.

Sir, have been that CACO Officer, totally agree. This never leaves you.

My brother died many years after his service. We had Patriot Guard motorcycle escort to the cemetery. Some highway construction workers stopped when they saw the procession and put their hands on their hearts. A few random men got out of their cars and saluted as we passed. That really got to me.

Thanks for such a thought provoking and high quality production. Once again this year it will be in our Holiday Weekend Closure announcement.

Thx Bryan Kean! Made my day!

You have put a face to the pain. Never forget. 5 more shipmates died this year. It has been a painful year. Doc Leon Mac Stephen Larry Your not forgotten. Too young all in their 50's.

HOOAH, thank you for your your support, and the so very touching share. It never stops the tears and sacrifices of all involved.

I have to add, that I never look forward to the Memorial Day Holiday, and have people telling me to have a good/great Memorial Day… it’s sad that American Citizens don’t know what the Day is about.

If your grandpa has any of the following, he needs to speak to a benefits officer to help him file a claim with the VA: • AL amyloidosis • B-cell leukemia • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia • Type 2 diabetes • Hodgkin’s disease • Ischemic heart disease • Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma • Parkinson’s disease • Prostate cancer • Respiratory cancers • Soft-tissue sarcoma (not including osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma or mesothelioma) The following conditions, if they become greater than 10 percent debilitating within a year of exposure to an herbicide agent: • Acute and subacute peripheral neuropathy I am a DAV volunteer (also former US Navy too), but any VFW, American Legion or DAV officer can help guide him through a veteran administration compensation claim.

I am a 74 year Vietnam Veteran Company H 75th Infantry (Ranger). Too many of my friends came home in a coffin draped with the American flag. That's why I would love to spend an hour with Colin Kaepershit. He would never walk again after my baseball bat got through with him.

Now you can understand the words Semper Fi.

We are never strangers for we are brothers-in-arms!

God Bless you and your sons. I hope they always come home safely to you.

@@martindavis9930 Thank you so much Martin for your kind words. God Bless and have a beautiful Christmas

Kenny, I also have two active duty Officers in the Army. Please thank them from a veteran and a father of servicemen. I thank you for raising two boys with the honor to serve this great country.

@kenny rogers thank your sons for their service and my prayer is that your boys come home safely to you always
