Wow, wake up call!

Jpzaluski 03-17-2014 02:15 PM

Damn. That is a great thing to see. In a world full of those "too busy", it's nice to see a commercial giant take the steps to honor those who gave all.

Please correct me if I'm wrong (most of the time I am). I was under the impression that you where suppose to have a detail made up of your "Brothers In Arms", I would not appreciate being received by Delta baggage handlers after giving my life for my country. It just seems to me that there is a certain ceremony that goes with the handling of a fallen soldier. They are entitled to get the respect and gratitude from us they earned by paying the ultimate price. Again if I'm missing the point let me know, but it didn't think it looked right.

Not saying this was wrong I am wanting others observations and opinions.

I'm sure that he or she was given the proper respects that is deserved, however it is great to see that the people that they gave their life for would go out of the way to show respect from a community standpoint. It is a much better greeting than being spit on as our soldiers have been on in the past.

Amen brother .

US1 Fountain 03-18-2014 05:25 PM

Those Delta baggage handlers are also your fellow Americans.

Mseuro 03-18-2014 06:04 PM

I knew this was going to happen, I was just asking if this was the proper way to greet a fallen hero. I am not trying to demean what the video was showing. My wife and I watched the video and the first thing we both noticed was where are the servicemen to greet the casket. There are not many people as big of a supporter of our military than me and my family (about the only section of our government I care greatly about), just something looked off and was wondering what it was.

I do not want to offend anyone on this forum, I know most of you guys are like me HARD CORE AMERICANS.

ICDEDPPL 03-18-2014 06:20 PM

You didn`t see the service men in the video?, I can`t watch it again cause it gets me every time but I remember seeing at least 3. Think of all the other folks as an added bonus.

US1 Fountain 03-18-2014 06:20 PM

I wasn't trying to question your question.I understand your thoughts, but don't know the answer. It was more of an observation that complete strangers showing the highest respect that could be given for those deserving of such, regardless of their job/classification. I'm sure those guys will be touched forever for being able to do this show of respect as they could. Possibly by volunteering, and not so much as a duty??? No disrespect meant there. just for lack of the correct words.

Both videos brought about the same level of respect from myself.

God Bless our soldiers!

Mseuro 03-18-2014 06:32 PM

I did but I was referring to the honor gaurd.

I'm certain that will happen later at an official ceremony. It could have already happened also at some point.
This could be a secondary transport of the soldier's body in route his/her final resting place.

dockrocker 03-19-2014 06:25 AM

Reminds me of this story: Passengers give up first class seats for returning Marines.

CraneHillFast 03-19-2014 03:50 PM

Does anyone know if the second smaller box was personal belongings or a service dog? My eyes I think were sprayed with mace.
