    I love how Best makes great funny videos but when it's time to be serious and make a serious video he hits the nail right on the head.

    Back in 2002, I switched rotations with my best friend in my unit, because his son had just been born prematurely. So I deployed in Sep 2002 and 'Plummer' deployed a year later in 2003. While in A-stan, Plummer died in a helo crash when one of the engines failed just after take-off. I think about him all the time, wonder if it should have been me on that rotation. He was a great guy, one of those people that was bigger than life, almost like something in a book or movie. Thanks for this video Matt, it is exactly how I feel when I think about Plummer and imagine him walking or running next to me, grinning like a maniac, staying young and lean, just as bright in my memory as if I had seen him yesterday.....

    I just watched this and it made me think of my best friend Sargeant Gareth David Thursby, who died in Afghanistan 2012. I had the honour of carrying Gaz's coffin on his final journey home, hardest thing I have ever done, emotionally, physically and psychologically. On the back of the C17 (I think) the bugler played the last post. Even now when I here that being played my eyes well up and I think of Gaz 'The Bull' Thursby. Gone but never forgotten.
    I have a portrait of a bull in the front room of my house in his memory.
    A shout out to all the other fallen heroes who have died in service of their countries.
    And much respect and love to our allies over in the US, it has been an honour to fight alongside you in Iraq and Afghansitan.

    Some say here that it almost made them cry. I say cry. They were brothers and sisters closer than brothers and sisters. They challenged us with their strength, displaced our fear and loathing with laughter and made us brave by being brave. They shed their blood. It's okay to honor them by shedding our tears.

    • @bavarianpotato
      @bavarianpotato 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Armed Texan
      there were wars that were fought for your freedom. The men that died for example in ww2 died for your freedom. But are the men fighting and dying in afghanistan or in irak really fight for freedom? I am sure the soldiers are thinking they are and are doing everything on best intent, and i don't want to disrespect any of those men. But in which way is a war in irak or afghanistan to protect your freedom? To me, most of the wars the us military is involved in at the moment are only about power and often, about oil. and although the soldiers may think they are fighting for freedom, and again: i dont dount their honor or anything, do you really believe that those wars are worth dying for?

    • @armedtexan8373
      @armedtexan8373 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      In terms of freedom, do I want the war in the US or over there. Yes if they want to fight, let's fight in there lands not mine. With no fighting here, I can freely do as I please, which equals to freedom for my family and myself.

    I'll be honest, this is the first time I've watched this video in 2019. I haven't been in the Army but I know what it's like to lose people. It's true that they're walking right by your side because brothers stay brothers no matter how far apart you may be. Soldiers sacrifice their freedom so that others may enjoy their freedom. As one wise soldier once said, "We fight not because we hate what's in front of us, but because we love what's behind us." Thank you for your service and Honor the Fallen. Fallen but never forgotten.

    This means a lot.
    See I was a combat medic. Naval Ground Forces, MOS 68W. Wolfpack.
    Our job was simple, drop in, take care of the wounded, provide cover and reinforcement, then get everybody out. We were used to being the last ones out. And we nailed the drop every time. There were six of us, so we each had one jump partner. I was always second on the ground. Me and my partner. Everything was just another jump until that one time. I’m not sure if I made a mistake or if he did or what.. but when we hit the ground and I looked up. The first thing I saw was his arm get ripped.. I wasn’t too worried until I saw how much blood he was losing. And where he was hit. I was trying so hard Mat and when he looked at me and said “hey. Am I gonna make this or what?”
    ....I lied and said “yeah”
    I’m most proud. That I haven’t blown my head off yet. It’s so much easier when you’re dead. Best, honestly bro, you kinda keep me going... so thanks. Thanks for giving me something that makes me remember the good times. And not his last time.

    Respect to our Vets, current Soldiers and the fallen. My grandfather was a ball turret gunner in WW2 and came back and my great grandfather was one of the first American fighter pilots in WW1. He was shot down seven times over France but never died, we were lucky. I know there were a lot of soldiers that never came back to their families. Respect to them, may you rest in peace.

    Freedom is not free. It is paid for by my brothers and sisters. All who have worn the uniform paid but those who gave their lives paid the ultimate price. I wear my scars like a badge of honor. I hold my head high and am damn to have earned the title of Veteran.
    Life after the Army has not been without challenges. There have been many dark days. In those dark times I think of my fallen brothers and I can hear them saying "suck it up and drive on bro!" I am trying to honor them by living my life and being thankful for every day I am given. I miss my brothers and I hope to see them on the other side. Till then I choose life!
