- The Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations or AFMAO is largely staffed by Airmen, but all services are represented within the walls. Two Marines are stationed in Delaware to provide care, service, and support as liaisons to families of fallen Marines. SSgt Caitlin Jones is with one young Lance Corporal who has a big responsibility to his fellow Marines.

This Marine takes his job to heart. You can hear it in his voice. Well done sir. Well done.
The pain, the sadness, yet a slight sense of relief and kindness.
Kindness does not signify weakness. No truer is that fact than in the mortuary services.
Soldiers who go out of their way to see to it that the fallen find their way home truly are a rare and noble breed.
In this case a marine, not a soldier, but that's okay. It's offensive to call a marine a soldier. You can call them service members of the United States Armed Forces if you're referring to all veterans like this fine young marine and gentleman. I'm telling you this so you won't be screamed at or criticized by others on the internet. R.I.P to all who lost they're lives in all branches of the US military and those who can't be with us today. (Hand Salute*) /)(o_o) OOH RAH! Semper Fi!
A. T. OoYeah morning u
Immense personal sense of duty. Well done. You should be proud of yourself
No Doubt!!!
"marines take care of marines".... made me tear up real quick
Even with a fake name son...🤮
@adrian collette but its your kids that voluntarily serve
Talking shit about our armed forces is pathetic....say what you want behind your keyboards but I highly doubt you would say shit to any of these young men or women’s faces....pussies.
Why are you homosexual? The us marine corps are
Just like they took care of squadron 242
The emotion in his voice tells you everything you need to know about his commitment to honor his fellow Marines.
Yes. Couldn't have said it better
@Duffelbag Drag Fu^k off. Sadly, the US has turned into yet another corrupt banana republic. I made that comment two years ago (with a different screen name and icon) at a time when I still believed in my country. Now the country is run by a senile old puppet and every three letter department has been weaponized against the American people. You probably don't know that in the so-called "Infrastructure" bill that was just passed, Congress approved the funding and hiring of 87,000 more IRS agents.
@@GoodLifeInSpain Yea but you can’t blame everything on that senile old puppet Donald Trump…can ya?
A great actor indeed
Burying a loved one is always hard. One of the most moving things I have ever witnessed was the USMC Honor guard that came to bury my Uncle Tommy. 98 degrees with 80% humidity in full dress uniform and never so much as moved to wipe the sweat.
My Great Uncle was at D-Day as an Army Tank Commander, and the Honor Guard that came to his burial was the same. Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force, Coast Guard, they take care of not only their own, but all of us. God bless every warrior hero who serves and has served.
Sheepdog Smokey leave for cape May in two months. Fucking nervous but proud to serve and follow the path so many have set before.
@@travis6694 i respect that move as i was a Soldier too. However, under todays politicians of Any party i would never . Most wars are now "banking ideas". Please also respect that comment. Ive learned this in my 45years. Most All U.S. wars were Not to benefit country NOR COUNTRYMEN✌🌐 . ..id say since ww2. Even w i joined , was another BULLSHIT war. Then again , as Soldiers we cannot pick our fights , nor our leaders . Its a sick sacrifice all the way around. God Bless You and Yours Brother 🇺🇸
DOUBLE ZERO yeah, the coast guard is the route I am going. Coming from a poor family o have the opportunity to get free education and hopefully learning medical so I can take it with me when I get out.
@@travis6694 Cape May is the bomb. When you get your weekend off, go to the Ugly Mug and have 1 for me.
This young Marine is fallowing our proud tradition in the Corps of being " Always Faithful ". SEMPER FI
No longer p
Fidelis?
@@-unbreakeblecow488 Fi is just a short way to write it but yes that is the word. Hince the saying "Semper Fi do or die"
Someone didn't pass their "Spelling for Marines", did they?
I'm from the UK and served in the military some time ago and I have to say this video bought tears to my eyes. Here is someone who is so dedicated to his job and the tasks that he's required to carry out. I salute you, your dedication and your uniform. 🇬🇧💓🇺🇸
Thank you for your service, we truly appreciate you for that. God bless you and our brothers 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
😞 yes, makes me cry, too. I'm a Marine Mom
This is a compassionate man who has a calling to do his job. These Marines deserve such a person to prepare their bodies for burial. They've earned it. God bless you L/Cpl.
You're right. They only ask one thing of us ... a proper burial .... and it's our job to see to it that they get it. I had had less than 3 hours sleep in as many days when I preached my fathers funeral sermon. By the grace of God, i was given the strength of character to get it done as if I was a well-rested stranger. My father did NOT love me ... but I loved him ... so I got it done.
This is one job that requires a Marine Marine. We honor our fallen Marines every day of our lives until we ourselves join them at the pearly gates for our guard duty. Semper Fi to all our Marines.
Well said . Semper fi brother.
It must be hard seeing all those fallen men.
Yes, but I think a lot of them are elderly veterans.
@@noorrougelewis6704 I don't think this facility handles elderly vets. Its mission is to prepare the services member's body who have been KIA.
Jane Doh this is strictly active duty
And women
@@noorrougelewis6704 ÷÷
I've spoken to fellow Marines over the years and when I've asked "what did you do in the Corps?" Many responses are "just a cook", "just a POG". I have to remind them that Marines are never "just a". This Marine has been gifted an incredible job in the Corps. Hopefully the words "just a" never part his lips. Semper Fi Lance Corporal/ Hopefully Corporal.

The Marine Corps has a strong bond that makes the Marine Corps one of a kind. A bond only Marines and their family's truly understand. That's why I love the Marine Corps .
-Semper Fidelis
You can tell he takes it's very serious ...much respect to this man & anyone who serves in our military
No
The US Marines are not just well known for their awesome fighting capabilities. They are also known for their incredible pride in their history, their traditions and their dedication to each and every man and woman in the corps. This is what connects past to present members of the Corp and why they are so great. Semper Fi.
Son, I don’t know you but let me tell you something if I could.
You are a wonderful kid, a honorable man and if you were my son I would be beaming with pride because of the dedication and respect you give to the job but mostly the respect and love you show the families that are suffering such a loss.
I know that loss son, I lost my youngest child just over 3 yrs ago. It hurts something terrible because as a parent , we are not wired to outlive our kids. Anyway , I just wanted to say THANK YOU for a job well done and a job done with such pride. You are a proud Marine and the country applauds you each time you perform your duty.
Not many men or woman could do your job.
Thank you again from my heart to yours.
EPK 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✌🏻
Such an honor to see how our military take care of their own. GOD BLESS THEM.
Mortuary affairs United States army, Kandahar 10-11 such a pleasure working along side marines in the hard job that we do.

That is one dedicated marine, thank you for taking care of those who sacrifice everything, to take care of our way of life, our families, our nation. God bless all that serve and their families.
When he started talking about the fallen marines with his story about being invited to the memorial personally, you can hear him choke up. Thank you lance corporal, and all of the people who protect me and my own.
Marines put pride in everything we do. Semper Fi
Thank you for your service Lance Corporal Landon Beaty! OOH RAH! Semper Fi! Marine! Keep being a good marine! Even when it hurts!

Cpl Coffey and I served together in the same unit and platoon. He was such a great friend and person. Have some great memories!
Bless you and the Marine Corps ❤
As a Retired Airmen, This swelled me with emotions and Pride. I have always been proud of my Brother Service Branches and this is why. Yes, it made me shed a tear as well.
The Marines serviced my dad's funeral with full honors. I have to say out of all of the branches I've seen at the cemetery they have stood above the rest. It was what my dad would have wanted. They did him proud.
Job well done young man. Thank you for your compassion and the dignity that you have shown. Much respect for you.
Ooh Raah Marine! That's a tough job and glad they're men like yourself making sure those laid to rest look their best. Semper Fi
This story really choked me up. Respect and big love from the left coast of Canada.
America's best!!! God bless you all!! Thank you for your service it means a lot!!
This video went straight thru the heart. As a former Lance Corporal 2nd Commando Company, 3rd Platoon, Brazilian Army, "Jungle Boot - Snake Sh*t", I send you my salute!!!
God bless you for caring for our falled with such respect and dignity. My father was wounded several times in battle in WWII. After his third time badly wounded he was reassigned to mortuary services. He took that assignment very seriously.
With respect.
🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
Thank you Marines.
Thank you all.
Has a son of a Vietnam Marine who's getting ready to kick the bucket not alot of people show my pops respect but I'm glad to know you will thanks for your service and dedication to the Corp men like you make me believe in the good in people
All Marines are a different breed of Warrior. But for Mortuary and Body Bearer Marines, that takes the strongest hearts out there.
Much Love from just another Civvie.
God bless you and Thank You For Your Service and love, Proud Sister OF TWO U.S. Marines 🇺🇸❤💪🙏
This has to be done by a man such as this! We Marines are a Proud Family! Hopefully Sgt is in the future for such a dedicated Marine.
Thank you for your service, and the honor you show our fallen.
It means a lot, to families.
An old combat veteran salutes you.
Probably one of the most emotionally difficult jobs in the military
Along with the body bearers! How do you ever THANK OUR MILITARY FOR ALL THE JOBS THEY DO? I praise them and thank them, but words are never enough for the sacrifices, honor, integrity, love, self-sacrifice, duty, selflessness, among so many other words to describe these men and women in any position they hold!
It looks it..... no fun im sure....but they are good at what they do I'm glad they are there to care for our Marines do well
God bless and keep this dedicated Marine.
OUTSTANDING! From an AF Veteran....
I was active in 3rd MAW back in the days of some of these young Marines dads and granddads, but I consider these Marines to be my Brothers.
United States Marine Corps.
Semper Fidelis.
I have two very dear friends both marines as well as myself they both worked with me when we were on active duty and my oldest daughter babysat their kids. Their son is currently on active duty to become a warrant officer when he graduated boot camp his mom told "You are my son and now you are my brother" think that says it all. Semper Fi to all my brothers and sisters whether u a marine or not from an old retired Marine MSGT

Bolun Liu it was a movie ...not a real quote
God bless our service men and women and our Veterans 🙏🏻🇺🇲 My grandfather was a WW2 Veteran and I miss him everyday!!
Mom of 2 Marines and 2 AF each 20 yrs each. THIS IS MY MOST LOVED VIDEO. THE FAMILES THANK YOU. I LIVE NEAR Camp Lejuene and I am at Topsail Island and I feel blessed to be near these Marine.
I hope he is still doing well! Thank you for your service, God Bless!
Just read that he's a Staff Sargeant
Oh cool!
What a heartbreaking job. Those are his people. He must have nerves of steel. I know that Marines are tough, and trained to become tougher but If I were him, I wouldn’t be able to hold it together.
Thank you for your service to our country. Remember everyone deployed. God-bless America.
Thank you for your service! God bless the Marines! 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service and your dedication to the fallin Marines and their families
From a US Marine family, we cannot express enough gratitude for these professionals and the USMC……it’s very sad though.
salute from Malaysia. our countries were saved by Allied servicemen in WW2, Korean War and Vietnam war. A debt that we cannot repay. Thank you very much
Semper Fi! I'm USAF Veteran, Marines have the sharpest Class A's in the Military! Well done...
Yes I teared up. Semper Fi. This is what makes us great, Marines.
I was never in the service but I have family. This is the epitome of a big brother.
What a dedicated, wonderful, loving and just a good man. I honor you soldier ! "SALUTE"
Outstanding Job Thank You.
My dad was a Marine who was laid to rest 2/3/2017. Thank you for what you do. Semper Fi.
So sorry for your loss. God bless you, your family and your father for all your sacrifices. And God bless our country in these uncertain times.
I never served in the Military but this marine is one of a kind , thank you sir for taking care of your brothers & sisters in time of death
My Father is a Marine. To make a long story short. A young man who had consulted with my father became a marine. Years later when my father passed. This young man drove 14 hours to be at my fathers grave side. I am brought to tears every time I relay the story and am tearing up now. Thank you Mark Badgley.
They did a good job with my uncle I can't thank them enough
What an amazing young man!! As a man who served and a father of 2 Marines....THANK YOU!!
I as well thank you a mother of 2 Marines and a grandson. I was fortunate to have my loved ones come home alive. Thank you for the love n care and respect you provide for the rest of my family who didnt
I hope and pray that one day my son will never get to meet you. If he has to, I would be very proud of you taking care of him.
God bless the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. God bless all the men and women that are there today to take the place of their fallen comrade. 🇺🇸
Semper Fi
Marines take care of their own. A sublime understatement. I am an airline pilot. Former Air Force. Although I have never had the honor of transporting service member's remains, I have witnessed this happen and it is a solemn and emotional ceremony. I have had the honor of taking wounded soldiers, sailors and Marines to and from their rehabilitation hospitals in San Antonio and Washington DC. Every one of them is escorted to, and picked up from the aircraft by an active duty escort. It is amazing to see, the brotherhood runs deep. Thank you all for your sacrifice, thank you for protecting our nation, our way of life. Thank you for your service!
Thank you for All you have done. And will continue to do.🇺🇸🇺🇸
Many families are thankful for your dedication to your fellow Marines. Thank so much.
This guy is a hero. He joined to fight but now makes sure every fallen soldier is remembered, not out of spite but with honor and willingness.
Carrying on the tradition of excellence and honor! Thank you for your service.
I would be crying every day doing this job. Very emotional work.
Bless you LCpl Beaty. You have a sacred task.
Semper Fi!
im australian & my late father was a Royal Australian Navy Officer who put his life on hold for all of us in WW2. you sound like him, i hear your emotions in your voice just like he did. all the fallen deserve to have honorable send off's. god bless you sir
This man is a rare example of the right man for the right role. What a hero!
Soldiers and veterans have to take care of each other, nobody else will.
Thank you kind sir and your service to the country as well as our fallen soldiers may all you have dressed rest in peace and BEYOND BELIEF THANK YOU THE FAMILIES THAT HAVE LOST! Thanks to all service members current and fallen!!!😀😀😀😪😪😪
Beautiful. Love from Mexico. God bless the US Marines
thank you for your service from the UK
God Bless you. And thank you 🇺🇸🇺🇸
As an Airman, in the USAF, I was stationed at Dovver AFB and had the blessed opportunity to serve as a Body Escort for a fallen Airman who had lost his life in an automobile accident in Germany. I have to say that those who serve at the Port Mortuary, at Dover AFB, and I must say that they are all professional beyond professional. Much love and thanks to all of them!!!!
Amen.
If after watching this video you don't shed a tear then you are not human. May God bless our United States Marine Corps always!
Thank You for taking Care of our Brothers and Sisters!!! Semper FI!!!
Damn. I have nothing but respect for these marines.
Thank you for your service. You do a great service to these fallen men and women, and help bring a measure of peace and comfort to those left behind, giving them closure at last.
I truly honestly hope the day comes when your out of a job. I truly hope that you'll be fired someday, because that will mean our soldiers will be at home, with loved ones living theirs lives.
Until then Semper Fidelis, Semper Fi Marine, May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face. And may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars.
Heartbreaking when a young person dies. May they rest in everlasting peace.
It's not all wine, roses, and glory. It sounds like a hard job, but someone has to do it. Thank you, LCpl Beaty, for your service, and Happy Birthday, Devil Dog!
From an Air Force Vet, thank you.
My cousin died the 14th of February and I’m proud knowing that people like LCPL Beaty are taking care of him
Good movie showing all the preparation, starting at Dover, to get a fallen Marine home is Taking Chance.
That was the first movie I saw that showed how the fallen are taken care of. I cried so much and I watch that movie every chance I get. God bless our fallen and those who take such beautiful care of them.
@@lariette856 You have no idea what that was like for me thank you for recognizing that no earthly words to describe when I first saw the very beginning especially the very beginning the rest I knew but the very beginning I remember after 17 years holding on to my wedding ring and holding my stomach and hitting the ground slumped over eyes never left the tv just kept rewinding because tears were in my way I knew but to see it like that was like seeing his things the rest I won't say because I don't think anybody would understand but I will say this my Facebook is public and my daughter is my legacy holder because I'm terminally diagnosed I was supposed to go way before my Marine never did is MOS was 0311 if you knew my sock was in he would have been right there he was eventually wanting to go be a DI at Parris island I pray the microphone is saying everything correctly because I absolutely have to rely on it and I'm proud of my son for doing that cuz he wanted to be near his dad but on my Facebook way at the bottom because I got to where I just couldn't post anymore it was too much I became more of an introvert not on here but definitely there I would just show up every four or five months and just post a bunch of things and be gone because I just didn't know how to handle things anymore and just let God guide me and God told me that was what was best for man it works but if you scroll all the way down there is a 50 cal lab round and I had asked his Marines if anything should happen yank it off of his magazine and somehow break the rules and send it to me and they did and you can even see in the picture the little scratch marks on the side well they're not scratch marks but you could tell it was pulled off of the magazine and one of my fellow retired Marines was like oh my goodness they gave you a lot of round when we get that away from you and it was like I took a war I was like no no no no no and he said no I'm going to take care of it so it's no longer alive round he loves you he would never want a live round near you he has no idea you said this and he has no idea they obliged and did as you said he had to soak it in a solution his friend owns stuff with armory you name it he has it specializes in it and it was soaked in a special solution because the way that it was torn it was too risky to do it the normal way and I have a Facebook picture of it many times over on my wall but it's not at the top it's you go to scroll all the way down but everything's public and my daughter is my legacy holder and I'm very thankful for her for doing that he had passed away on her first day and she gave birth this year on her birthday so celebration of life and wedding anniversarie other birthdays veterans days which are additional memorial days for us even my birthday his birthday our children's birthdays you name it it lands in November and so that was that was really tough for me this year I must say it was probably the hardest birthday I've ever gotten through but I was thankful that I was able to live through another one memory for birthday ball was always somehow scheduled on my birthday miraculously it just always wound up that way and nobody knew I was awkward about my birthday but normal with everybody else's so that especially Hit me hard this year after 17 years I even sleep on a couch and soon my home is a hospice address and I told them I don't need the bed I want my couch that's my bad I still wear my ring there's a plastic thing that they got for me so it will still fit me and I always wear my bracelet there's a special bracelet I wear and a necklace that I wear and it's pretty difficult that those are hard to fit me that's difficult for me I'm finally wasting away after all these years and I don't like how my bracelet won't fit me and it's the metal kind and the little tiny Bible my eyes really can't read it anymore but thankfully I have my childhood Bible and it's huge I don't have many people with me except my pet but she's Heaven sent she's a real sweetheart she's a rescue head but I don't like the word pet my kids they're either serving or they're away healing I just want my grandkids to know me and I told them whatever is easier for them then that's okay cuz I know what it's like to lose a parent and so do they I pray the microphone said everything correctly I'm one of those people that want my grammar perfect .,! I don't like how I don't get that even have that anymore but as alone as I feel I know that God is with me everyday I've even had an out-of-body experience and God allowed me to choice to stay or come home and let me stay a little longer and how bright and how beautiful those angels are is mighty angels and they refer to him as father when they speak to me and will never forget that my ultimate Kevlar my Lord and Savior he even got me through that movie cuz I don't know how you can't watch that movie and not cry no matter who you are but you're the only one that has ever mentioned that to my knowledge to my eyes to my ears and as time goes by you know I sleep a lot it's like come asleep like you don't know morning from evening and I don't like that I want to be awake but when I'm asleep I dream of my family sometimes I sleep with that movie playing on demand believe it or not that's how much of home it feels like to me and I try not to miss a sunset but there's nothing like a sunset in twentynine Palms but thank you for remembering that detail and recognizing that nobody ever mentions that and nobody ever mentions their job I mean for them to do that then to come home and have dinner with their kids and their family God only knows what is going on in their personal lives God bless them my heart really goes out to everybody and I'm thankful I made it through another birthday I'm no longer awkward about my birthday I'm no longer trying to push away November I'm like come back come back come back it's been 17 years society hasn't been able to go 17 seconds without touching their phone or griping about something I've gone 17 years without things by choice and I and I could have easily done that differently but it didn't feel the same for me I could not do it was very grateful for your attention to detail though I really wanted to make that no it deserved to be said there is so much to say but not really always any earthly words to be able to say it sometimes it's just said with a gaze depends on what I have to hear in public or what they may have to hear afterwards in public but don't worry they'll reflect on life whenever I'm through it's not meant to ever hurt Lord knows I know too much about that but nobody knows more about that than Jesus and God is love and I love my Ultimate Kevlar so even though I don't get to see family except maybe once a year if not maybe once every few years my family had me in their fifties so I'm used to elderly and most of them have already crossed over and my siblings were 30 years older than me and were never really in my life but I come from a huge military family they know I don't video chat I want to look like me not what's happening to me so they just call if I'm awake but thank you for recognizing that that means really a lot to me nobody's ever recognized that not even a service member has mentioned that and they could have quietly I never would have said anything I suppose it just depends on the person on the other end of it I guess I'm sorry for his loss but I'm thankful that they kept that in the movie I'm glad that they really showed it in a way that it has not been shown before to the civilian community thankful the country can see God Bless him and his family and thank you again for your attention to detail ✝️💜⏳

This is one job I don't think I could have done. In a deployed unit you can possibly see a few lost here or there, these guys see all of them. Semper Fi young man.
You can hear that this matters to him, it's no act or simple job. It matters because they are his brothers and sisters and he looks after family.
From a Royal Marine I say, well done brother, good effort. I hope you and yours are safe and well.
Wow. What an incredible honor to be selected for this duty. I'm ex-USAF (10 years). Good to know that my service men and women were taken care of by folks like him
Very sad but beautiful job to have- he stands out within those that
STAND OUT.

The bond Marines share is a unique one. U won't find it anywhere else. I love being a Marine & I consider every Marine my brother.
That's a marine right there ..be the best at all you do
Wow one big family. So honourable. Big respect. 👍🇬🇧
the movie, 'Taking Private Ryan home, showed the extreme honor given to all our fallen. It was very touching and gratifying to see the extreme care given to every detail of their presentation. I think makes us proud to realize their honor doesn't end with death!
