- Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Edward C. Byers Jr., a member of SEAL Team 6, receives the Medal of Honor from President Barack Obama during a White House ceremony, Feb. 29, 2016. Byers received the award for his actions while serving as part of a team that rescued an American civilian held hostage in Afghanistan in December 2012.
I'm sitting here, in my beautiful home, with my two daughters and wife playing outside in the sun. I sit here with no worries of death, no worries of attack, I sit here in pure appreciation of these men, and all who serve. Thank you for allowing me this life, thank you for putting yourselves in front of danger so that it may not reach our children, our loved ones. Thank you
Couldn't have said it better.
You fight wars for oil only your wonderful usa has only been invaded 2 times in history(by us the uk)so what wars should you be fighting ( no wars) god bless america you need help alot of help
Please keep you negative comments far far away from a video honoring a great American, I'm sure you have no idea what it is to be an American, judging by your sentence. No one is asking for your opinion here, please stay away, as you can probably tell, Americans are not to be messed with.
I was not been negative and yes you are correct i dont no what it is like to be a American as i am from the uk (we have helped you out many times) Americans are not to be messed with ? Yes your right no body should mess with Total Federal Government Debt in 2016.
At the end of FY 2016 the gross US federal government debt is estimated to be $19.3 trillion, according to the FY17 Federal Budget.
Damn you are VERY VERY unknowing...sitting there in your green garden...sir. Just stay there and lock the door as soon the US will be falling, as we can see the cracks appearing as we speak.
I'm not an American. But I have huge respect for people of this country. You inspire us by your bravery ,humility and determination. Thank you :)
aayushi mehta respect friend
Thank You for your support.
I'm a retired Army Ranger and I am in awe of this warrior. This is a certified hero and legitimate bad ass. Thank you for your service, sacrifices, and your tears for your fallen teammates water the seeds of patriotism in this country.
Thank you very much for your service I am a teen looking at a career in the military and I to hope to serve our great country one again thank you
Bill Smith Well said. Thank you for sharing those words, it's an amazing way to see some of the beauty in such a sad thing.
thank you for your service, sir!
Had the privilege of meet Chief Byers today....Absolute honor
It's gotta be a hard decision to narrow down just one to receive this honor. So many brave souls out there but only one gets chosen. Much respect!
2 Purple heart, 5 Bronze stars with valor and a Medal of honor.. Well, atleast I got my Camporee ribbon...
Had the opportunity to meet Byers down In ft pierce and get a picture with him, was such a honor to meet a warrior of his caliber
FSXGOLDKING lucky

Your public profanity and language is indicative of your childlike ignorance. Grow up ad shut up.
For anyone to get a medal of honor is the best of the best.
A TRUE BAD ASS !!!! IM SO PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN WITH THESE BAD ASSES WATCHING MY BACK... GOD BLESS ALL YOUR SOULS BAD ASSES !!!
I have had the privilege and honor to meet multiple Medal of Honor recipients in Atlantic City New Jersey.
I was amazed at how humble they were and did not seek out any attention.
I am a Marine Corps Veteran and it was a special too be in there company.
Thank you for your service and sacrifices protecting our great Nation.
Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey USA.
The finest of the fine... No greater love hath a man than he lay down his life for a friend.
Thank you for your service Edward
I thank you so very, very much for your service Chief Petty Officer Byers!
God, it was so nice to have a president who was literate, eloquent, educated, and exuded dignity and grace.
Thank you for your service to our country and everyone in it. I'm also very sorry for your loss. The loss of a friend, a teammate, a brother is something even I can't put into words myself
jmho but Chief Byers has expressed more courage and dedication to service and country then have those presenting or observing this esteemed honor on this day. Thank you sir for your service to America...
Amen fellow warrior . . .& prayers to the families of our fallen.
I'm not an American, but I travel a lot there (too dangerous to do so in my own country). In a sense, when I travel America, I enjoy the beautiful country and the liberties these guys provide, only as a guest, but I thank all of them for that.
I can tell you are Filipino
Jorge Villalobos Thank you Jorge, we love foreign travelers, and immigrants. What many do not realize, is freedom is not free. Millions of brave men and women have died for this freedom. Please remember this my friend.
Rascal The Friendly Madman I rememeber and I won't forget my friend.
You sound like a good man Jorge. We need more good people in this world. Thank you for your blessings. Many blessings to you as well friend .
You should live here and not fear anyone.
I am so proud of u guys thank u for keeping me and my fellow Americans safe u guys r da shit

What's really amazing is watching the relation between Mike Thornton and Tommy Norris. "Big Mike" seems to always STILL be Norris's protector. In interviews with them both, Mike will have his arm around him. Amazing...
“Swim buddies” forever.
hate it or love it,the underdogs are on top.i love the seals
Apparently SEAL Development Group is not a covert unit the way SEAL Team 6 was when Richard Marcinko was the Captain back in the 80's! Basically they didn't even officially exist! Kudos to Senior Chief Byers!!! He saved American lives that night!!!
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸 as well to all of our U.S NAVY SEALS🇺🇸
Thank You Sir for your service! Solid Mike P nailed it!
Thank you for serving our country!!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have said this before on comments I have made. I am not American, but I watch many videos about the Green Berets which always get to me because I love them so much. I play that special song all the time. You know the one I mean!!!
Anyway, tonight I came across this beautiful video about this Navy Seal being presented the Medal of Honour being given by President Obama. I had never seen this ceremony before, and I was completely enthralled at seeing the MOH being presented to this hero!!!!!
Truly magnificent, and I salute this man for his bravery.
Kindest Regards to you Sir,
From Australia.
Chief....you are an example of a true American.
God bless you and thank you Jody Nassour El Paso Texas
Thank god for SEALS
They make a lot of guys out to be stars, and this is not to denigrate their accomplishments, but any man who works and takes care of a family is a hero.
Mass respect to the navy seals from the uk.
We love you, honor you and pray for all of you and for your families...
you can say what you want about president obama, but that man could hold a speech!
Christos Georgakopoulos and tell the truth.peace to you.
I’d spit in his face
Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as a Hostage Rescue Force Team Member in Afghanistan in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM from 8 to 9 December 2012. As the rescue force approached the target building, an enemy sentry detected them and darted inside to alert his fellow captors. The sentry quickly reemerged, and the lead assaulter attempted to neutralize him. Chief Byers with his team sprinted to the door of the target building. As the primary breacher, Chief Byers stood in the doorway fully exposed to enemy fire while ripping down six layers of heavy blankets fastened to the inside ceiling and walls to clear a path for the rescue force. The first assaulter pushed his way through the blankets, and was mortally wounded by enemy small arms fire from within. Chief Byers, completely aware of the imminent threat, fearlessly rushed into the room and engaged an enemy guard aiming an AK- 47 at him. He then tackled another adult male who had darted towards the corner of the room. During the ensuing hand-to-hand struggle, Chief Byers confirmed the man was not the hostage and engaged him. As other rescue team members called out to the hostage, Chief Byers heard a voice respond in English and raced toward it. He jumped atop the American hostage and shielded him from the high volume of fire within the small room. While covering the hostage with his body, Chief Byers immobilized another guard with his bare hands, and restrained the guard until a teammate could eliminate him. His bold and decisive actions under fire saved the lives of the hostage and several of his teammates. By his undaunted courage, intrepid fighting spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of near certain death, Chief Petty Officer Byers reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

Navy Seal my respect congratulation
I honored,with much love and care.
Happy blessed holiday's to you and your family's, friends, colleagues. 🔊❤🌎🦅🏈🦜😂😂😂
Congratulations to Chief Petty Officer Byers! You are truly a hero. Cruz 2016!
No he's not. He's a genius. And it is not hard, actually it is pretty easy why he should be our next President.
amazing and silencing rumours ,just utter respect
Why doesn't a guy like this run for president?
I'm just assuming because SEALs are not all about politics I'm assuming their more of a I'll do what I'm ordered sort of people you know who would want to go from jumping out of planes shooting guns and having bad ass beards to having to be a suit wearing pencil pushing politician
ben schreiner i doubt theyd make good candidates anyways. Too many secrets and black ink.
Devan Jeffries Not true at all. There have been a couple governors that have been seals. Not to mention there are only about 3k seals with a 3rd of them being active.
I assume because he has a sense of self respect and love for his country.
He did, Admiral Stockdale with Ross Perot
This why Portugal support free Americans. We are few, we are great.
Angelo Oliveira Obrigado, friend!
Angelo Oliveira and fuck trump.obama forever
Thank you for your Service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
HOOYAH Brother!
My life is boring compared to Warriors like this man.
This how you do honors!
Gave me chills
THANK YOU.
PeaCelOVEfAith, Shelley
He actually serves on team 6.
Obama was the best at awarding the Medal of Honor. I’m not even a democrat! Thank you sir for your service and bravery for our wonderful country. 💜🇺🇸💜🇺🇸💜🇺🇸💜🇺🇸💜🇺🇸
Senior Chief Petty Officer Gigachad Byers
WHAT A TRUE BAD ASS !!!!!!
5 bronze stars with V's ...damn Thank You for your service
what does Obama know about brotherhood, service, duty, etc?
What does the Orange Emperor "Bone-Spur" Trump know about it? The lie counter clicks hourly
Wow you would never guess that guys DEVGRU just by looking at him, crazy
They are so damn brave. I'm scared of spiders and these guys see bullets fly past them
God bless stay safe God loves y’all all I hope everyone has a blessed day and great day ✝️🙏✝️🙏
What war did this Navy Seal fight in? How many lives did he save? How long was the battles he fought and why?
At 19:22 Biden would be saying your hair smells good.
what i find repugnant is how people write the nastiest, idiotic things...call other people filthy names.....then don't use their real names Geee..were I come from we call that cowardice,
God Bless You SEAL. God Bless You Barack Obama.
Love this President! He was very careful not to say that Ed killed the Terrorists while his mother and daughter were in the room.
yea because he has a hard time admitting that they are terrorists...
Yeah, because I'm pretty sure his mother didn't know that anyway. WTF.
13:51
awesome !!!
God bles you🙏🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Hero!!!
Who Dares Wins.
He isnt sas though
Sorry but their are many heroic acts that surpass what he did and those people will never get recognized. He did his job but I don’t think it merits the Medal of Honor. Silver star, sure. Soldiers battle for hours with out food or rest to keep their unit safe and many individuals have done heroic acts but they can barely get help from the VA.
I hope a few folks like Ed Byers run for office. The country could sure use more doers and fewer talkers.
Admiral Stockdale already tried as ross Perot running mate
That’s fucking insane
holy shit i just realised this.... did the US Navy in the description for the video, just advertise that an active duty Navy SEAL is part of SEAL Team 6........
Oops he said "Meyers" instead of "Byers", must have been thinking of Dakota Meyer. I'm sure his mistake will be forgiven. :-)
He clearly said Byers
God damn look at that stack.
stack meaning his ribbons on his chest
Stack of the other MOH recipients.
I miss having a class act as president of the United states of America.
Did President Obama say that 55 Navy Seals have died scince 9/11.
Wow I had no idea.
Considering how small the men of the Navy Seals are that is a very large number.
12:44 imagine being that guy 😳
4:22
Officially known as DEVGRU.

I would have demanded that the medal be presented by nobody in that administration. God bless you soldier.
isnt sailor not soldier since hes in the navy?
Art Mccomeskey Correct! I stand corrected my freind.
You're such a dumbass. I bet you support draft dodging Trump.
Go fuck yourself. Now you can thank me, I'm a vet.
7:43 no?
This is the only time Obama made a speech that I was at
💜🇺🇸💚
“Non sibi sed patriae”
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
NAVY SEAL without hair gel, common
Ark angel Raphial, the gods did get involved with his physical form creation. They made his hands smaller than average hands. That was done on purpose with his pre given consent. I had to remember to get my checklist complete, we had to expand our home kingdom of heaven to make room for all of the good back home. We had to create hell and expand heaven. Raphael hes been around for a long time, he is also a transfer to the 16th chappel.
THIS IS HONORABLE AND IS DO ALL THE HONOR AND ALL WHO SERVE THAT YOU FOR YOU UNLIMITED SERVES TO US ALL LEMAY

Thunder and lightning. If I may quote an American president we bring thunder and lightning, should I not do the same in defense of Priscilla with the same veracity.

You can never say, sailor,
"He had never prayed for us."
When either of us is gone.

I'll bet Oblaima was about to throw up being around a real man's man like that especially with his disdain for the military

Constitution ensures separation of church and government.
First line in this video, literally in the white house with the president is "let us pray".
Oh the irony,
Marco Marcella FIRST amendment to the Constitution, read it. Thomas Jefferson on the separation of church and state, an author of the Constitution, read it.
Who doesn't understand the Constitution again? Maybe next time reply with some actual substance ;)
Marco Marcella and again you've said absolutely nothing. Congrats on those 3 "impressive" words though. It takes a real moron to be pretentious about his knowledge of the definition of "enthralled" 😁
Marco Marcella it's okay you can google the word pretentious ;)
+ShonThom McGah Like many people, you have a misunderstanding of the meaning of the Separation of Church and State. The Constitution ensures that the Federal government will not establish a national religion nor will it force the American people to attend any religious services chosen by any governmental official. Nowhere does it state that government meetings and/or special functions cannot be opened and closed with prayer. As a matter of fact, sessions of Congress,State functions, etc. are always opened and closed with prayer. This is in no way a violation of the Constitution.
