SEMPERFI BROTHER..BE BLESSED... GREAT FAMILY..MY DAD PASSED AWAY 10/22..HE WAS 90.. SERVED 40 YRS IN THE CORPS.. BURIED HIM ON NOVEMBER 10.. MARINE CORPS BIRTHDAY...IT WAS SPECIAL...
Wow, finally back home after so many decades. I salute thee, PFC Bruce Wayne Carter, from planet Earth to Marine Heaven.
Thank you. Rest easy now Marine. You’re finally home. 🇺🇸
They had to turn off the turbofans, out of consideration and respect for the Soldier, a hero who gave his life for his beloved Homeland
Marine*
Finally home PFC Carter. Rest now.
Welcome home PFC Carter thanks for your service may you R.I.P
It took so long 45 yrs. to send a body of Marine back from Vietnam. War is a monster/killer over a human. I was lucky twice during the combat in the Vietnam War.
There can never be enough said to make sure that this man has the honor he deserves. A medal of honor winner is someone who has given his all and in doing so has saved the lives of countless people but has done so in such a fashion that most of us dont even realixe that they did anything different or unusual. These are the true heros. The ones who do wonderful things without of reward
Just one thing... I am not American, I am Greek and I have the impression that you don't win the Medal of Honor. It is awarded to someone for his actions beyond of call of duty. If I am mistaken, please correct me.
@@paparia_mentoles You are correct sir, the medal is awarded and cannot be "won".
@@paparia_mentoles, As Patrick Holland stated, you are correct. To a person, though, every recipient of the MOH states or has stated that it is not their medal but belongs to all of those serving with them, both the survivors and those that paid the ultimate price, they are just wearing it for them. This is the calibre of people that receive this honor.
@@paparia_mentoles you are correct. It is an honor bestowed on someone that went above and beyond the call of duty without thought of the cost, life or limb, usually both. It’s laying on that grenade thrown in the middle of your fellow soldier, it’s walking into the mouth of hell to pull your buddy out or give them a chance to get out while you stay behind. You make the sacrifices so that others may live…
WOW, WHAT A GREAT VIDEO! Thanks for showing the world! John P.
Saying "Goodbye" to one of America's best!
As a 4th Infantry Division soldier, and a Vietnam vet. I salute you and welcome home, thank you for your service. R.I.P.
Hello 4th IN Div Vietnam vet. I went over on the advance party and later joined Co A 4th Bn 2nd BDE 4th IN div as a plt Ldr and was medivaced in 1967 from 3 Tango I think it was also called to Oasis. I served with CPT Harvey as a plt Ldr. I admired Cpt Harvey, because he knew what he was doing , and had been to Vietnam once before. Welcome home .
God bless the Police Honor Guard for being there and their dedication but they cannot match the precision of the Marine Corps. Respect sends the fallen home so Thank You all for giving those lost that...
The police are American heros Goddamnit
I salute you sir. You received the highest honor our nation can award for your sacrifice. Retired USAF
Mike Simpson, just wanted 2 let the 🇱🇷 know that our colors don't run, Our military men/ women are should be considered heros these awesome group of people who put there🇱🇷 lives on the line every damn day month or even yrs what an honor what grace, and true humility dignity. God bless the 🇺🇸.
What an honor to watch this. Semper Fi. Rest in Peace, Marine.
In August 1969, his unit was ambushed outside of Vandegrift Combat Base in Quang Tri Province. Carter had stopped the enemy's advance when a grenade landed between him and his fellow Marines - Carter threw himself on the grenade, sacrificing his life to save the lives of others. From this USMC mom to his Gold Star Mom . . . God bless her.
Just curious why did it take it so long to bring him home.
He was being moved to Arlington National Cemetery. @@YoshiYosheda
Thank you for your sacrifice Sir!!! RIP AMERICAN PATRIOT!!!
Given the way we were treated after coming home from Vietnam, it is good to see how things have changed over the past 55 years. Unfortunately PFC Carter had to give his young life to achieve the honor he so richly deserved.
Sir
Thank you for your service and a very heartfelt... WELCOME HOME
💯❤️🇺🇸
You all got such a raw deal. Thank you for sacrificing for our country.
Whenever I meet a vet, I shake their hand and thank them for their service. Having had a uncle who did two tours in Vietnam and having witnessed first hand the utter disrespect given our returning Vietnam vets, I would like to thank you for your service and give you a hearty “Welcome Home!”. Of our paths ever cross the first beer is on me.
Welcome home PFC Bruce Wayne Carter. Your service is greatly appreciated!
Rest in peace Sir, your duty is done. Thank you for your service. from across the pond. Per Mere per Terram.
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends
This is my only gripe when awarding the MOH. Young enlisted personnel mostly earn theirs by dying. Yet, senior officers earn theirs simply by sending these young men and women into battle. Throughout our war history there are many enlisted men who should have been awarded the MOH but no there to document their heroism mainly because their buddies also died. I remember when my unit went to 'Nam, our career officers submitted requests for a Bronze Star. This would have looked good on their records. Gladly someone up the line nixed this.
@@XJarhead360, it is, as has always been the case, that the brass rarely earn any of the accolades handed to them. There is a saying in the military that"S--- flows downhill". The lower ranks pay in blood so the brass can be rewarded with promotions and medals. I'm a Vietnam era vet and my time will soon be over. Until the day I die I will NEVER understand the horrid waste of so may lives both in Vietnam and in Afghanistan. At least the young men and women today can wear their uniforms with pride whereas we had to hide ours once we were stateside.
@@janetbrowning9089, my heart goes out to you with your loss. The day after Thanksgiving, the 26th, will mark 22 years since I lost the greatest gift God ever gave me to cancer.
Sadly, one of the biggest outrages of that phoney "war" was to find bottom feeders like John Kerry, who was supposed to be one of our own, jumping ship and joining forces with Hanoi Jane to benefit his political ambitions and knifing all of his fellow military comrades in the back. John McCain, the songbird of the Hanoi Hilton was another, who sang like a canary for the NVA. Those are some of the really hurtful things our men and women faced when they returned to a nation that didn't want them.
The greatest thing I did today was watching this escort
I don't see it as a Final Salute
PFC Bruce Wayne Carter - Company H, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines, 3rd Marine Division
Posthumous MEDAL OF HONOR Vietnam War
All Americans salute this man / soldier / marine every time we stand for the flag!
Thanks to all that made this escort amazing & special thanks to Patrick J. Hughes for taking the time.
All Australians salute him too.
Well said!
Thanks
RIP Pfc Bruce Wayne Carter Thank you for your service and sacrifice
My grandfather passed this year, he was a ww2 navy vet, I miss him a lot and I wear his college class ring with pride
Please pass me the tissues... Only a veteran will truly understand the significance of this.
34 years Andre... We will come and find you!!
“A veteran is someone who at one point in his life wrote a blank check made payable to the United States of America for an amount of up to and including his life. That is HONOR, and there are way to many people in this country who no longer understand it!” Go easy Marine, Semper Fi.
(Vietnam Veteran, U.S.Army)
Does anyone understand the word honor today...do people understand it today...
@@zuzannawisniewska4464 does anyone understand the word honor today? Let me give you an example of how people think today. I am a Vietnam Veteran. I said that to a high school kid once, he just looked at me and said “I’ve never heard of Vietnam.” Are you shitting me!? That should answer your question about what this generation thinks about honor! 😢👎
Beautiful and strong mother💐
As a grateful Australian that remembers the sacrifice of the United States Navy and Marine Corps in the pacific war. God bless you mates.
This former Air Force Aeromed & Vietnam Veteran salute you and welcome you home, PFC Wayne Carter! R.I.P

I've always wondered where these men and women come from. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Some of the books I've read about WW 2 and Viet Nam, I read a page or two then I have to stop because I can't see through the tears. God bless all our service members.
His mum so proud of her marine son ,rip ,never forgotten, am from the UK 🇬🇧, 🇺🇸USA
@Jacob Russo You're right. On occasions, when there's nothing else to do we often argue amongst ourselves. When it comes to it and we turn together to face a threat to either of us then you'd better stand by.
I've worked alongside your Marines,, snappy dressers, good people and always the best kit that we've always been happy to "borrow on a permanent basis" but, happy to fight alongside them.
Rest easy Marine.
Thanks Mate.
Rest in Peace Marine - Semper Fi

God bless the USMC and all thier members
I was a medic with the 23rd infantry division, did nothing heroic just my job. I pray some of the soldiers I treated are still kicking today.
PFC Carter as he recently reported to the Pearly Gates, “One more Marine reporting SIR, I've spent my time in hell!”
He died in Vietnam when he jumped on a grenade to save the men who were following him during an ambush.
He was KIA in 1969.
RIP my brother.

Rest In Peace my brother!

RIP PFC Carter you are home
Excellent ceremony for a fallen soldier and veteran of this nation. This should be mandatory for every veteran
RIP SALUTE
I'm sure when he came home from Vietnam, he was spit on and called a baby killer as he got off the plane. 50 years
to get the respect.
mirage 455, he never had to face that humiliating treatment that so many of us did. He made the ultimate sacrifice in giving his life to save his fellow Marines. As I have stated elsewhere, the young men and women today can thankfully wear their uniforms with pride whereas we were told to hide ours and not wear it home once we processed out. I have never been, nor will I ever be, an anti-war protestor, but until the day I die I will NEVER understand why our government chose to waste so many of our young men and women in Vietnam and now Afghanistan. We gained nothing but a lot of innocent lives lost and in both cases we abandoned billions of dollars in arms and equipment for our former enemies to confiscate and use. None of it makes any sense to me. RIP, my brothers.
Thank you Bruce and God bless you. May you rest in peace.
Semperfi! Rest now Marine A snappy salute! Thank you for your service
Rest in Peace. Sir
SEMPER FI! WELCOME HOME!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HHOOAAHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OORRAAHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEMPER FIDELIS & THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE YOUNG MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hand Salute, Semper Fi Marine
Welcome home and R.I.P *salute*
All this is for the living. The last thing that Carter remembers is the humidity, the mosquitos, the flies, the ants and the unknown of what's next in the jungle. His last thought was, "Goddammit. Fuck this shit."
another one comes home, RIP my friend and fellow veteran...
hey pfc bruce wayne carter marine rest in peace
WELL DONE MARINE AND SEMPER FI 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I receive the best care from the VA Medical Center named in PFC Carter's honor.❤❤

What were the coins being handed out?
They’re commemorative coins for the Marines who rendered the salute in honor of the precious young Medal of Honor posthumous recipient. One day, they may place those coins on the headstone of this young hero resting in Arlington. We can never give enough honor, gratitude or praise to our service men and women past, present or future… ✨🇺🇸 ✨
