Glad they honored him.
Exactly 💯
Hi ball facts
Hey Jim👋
Exactly RIGHT !! THANK YOU SIR Eugene FOR YOUR SERVICE in Military !!! BUT GIVE THEM FRIENDS AND SUPPORT BEFORE THEY PASS !!! It’s so lonely, I seen the way my dad lived, it’s sad ! He did 20 years and was PROUD, but Army seem they done once retired … I hate it !!!!!
Could go and fight for a country that didn't love him on another continent only to come back having to fight another war just go get a bite to eat. What an evil nation USA is.
Thank you for everyone going to this hero's funeral.
Yes indeed.
That’s almost the best part of this story! God bless them all😍😍😍
They my sensitive self cry 😢 😂😂

"a generation thats almost gone" that hit hard
😔
That’s sad
Make way for us young people.
@@auc2.0 let's hope we can hold a candle to these legends
Why? It's nothing more than saying "We all get old and die."
A lot of loner guys like him tend to die without anyone ever really noticing. Instantly forgotten or never even remembered. It's nice to see one finally given some respect when they pass on.
@@caseyschryber1255 wow just wow race? Brvvmmmm
We die twice the first time when we die and the second time when someone remembers you for the last time . I flatlined from a car accident when I was 5 and had the same mindset asleep or awake every since. My cousin died ,, when I was exploring and analyzing a random place I was in I went up to a random house and saw a girl with tattoo laying on a sofa and I heard my cousin’s voice from another room . I went in the room and my cousin was playing cards and saw me and ran to me said long time no see then she asked was I dead also . She really acted and thought she was my cousin I didn’t notice any difference from my cousin I knew on earth. She told me things about her life and and when I checked with my aunt it was true . I wonder if I die and no one could go to that place that my cousin lives in will she vanish?
We are men because we can bear suffering in silence
@Supporter тормозить that’s right. I do that sort of stuff.
It's a shame some of us will never feel that love when we're alive.
I’m happy that, despite dying alone, he wasn’t sent off alone and had people around him.
R.I.P to this man ❤️
Sad to say this dead man knows nothing who was there from who was not.the dead knows nothing.
I would rather die along than be a embalm body or, burn body, both are Scarry some people say there is no death it just disworking being. But I think God would creat death just for Mercy. But there is graphing many thing from million years ago.
@@daisykaren6584 God did not create death because of sin we have death. The Bible says for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life. Sin the the transgression of the law of God (Ten Commandments). Death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire there will be no more.
@@animemegabucket7594 I been foolish and trick I for one have never sin in my life. The bible you talking about teachers of Jesus Christ was his clearly false teaching. I a believe in God and I can get to heaven without someone special to help. Christ is false teaching.
@@daisykaren6584 wait what??
R.I.P. to this veteran. Very long and deserved 100 years of life. God bless his soul. 🙏
No R.I.P. unless he was born again.

So true, my grandad fought in ww2 and passed away a few years back, such a nice man, I really miss him
People like him deserve such dignity. RIP, sir.
Thank you for honoring him, especially the funeral home for their generosity.
You honor a person while he is alive - all this commotion over a dead corpse is lunacy.
We honour people who are alive and we honour those who have passed away. Our kind deeds reflect our humanity, the love we have received and the love we give.
If you don't agree with others acts of kindness, that's OK, its on you.
Don't try to stop someone else from being kind and generous. It only makes you look petty.
I'd like to know what happened to you for you to feel like honour someone after they have passed away is such a bad thing. Sometimes it's only after they die that you learn what an amazing life they led (especially if you haven't known them all their lives).
This man honoured his country by serving as a soldier in war, the least we can do is to remember his service and his community buried him as a hero. It didn't cost you a single cent for his community to bury him with honour.
Blessings, Dot
@@dotcassilles1488 …I couldn’t have said it better ! 💯 👍🏻 God bless you for your Empathy for this Man’s Last Right to have a proper Funeral!
@@paulsawczyc5019 Your comment is lunacy.
@@dotcassilles1488 Agree with you 💯. Some people are so full of hate, it's really very sad. I was so glad to read this story of kindness and respect.
That’s so wonderful they did that for him. He looked like a child in his uniform when he went into the service.
Right!!!
A lot of ww2 veterans lied about their ages. There's numerous movies about dif people who fought in the war at 12/13 years old. There was actually one boy that at 13 years old was awarded the medal of honor for saving his platoon, and also a purple heart and they unfortunately took them away after finding out that he was underage when he fought in the war. Many were locked up in juvie, while many more got away with it. There really was no telltale way to full proof whether they were an adult or not back then, the only way to truly weed the liars out was to pressure them so they got scared and confessed themselves, or if somebody snitched on them. Yeah, a lot of teens didn't take kindly sitting back and watching as thousands of American men were slaughtered so they joined arms. Different times for sure, no matter if he was an adult or not it makes no difference, if he served in ww2 he is a vet and has my utmost respect! 🇺🇲
I thought the same thing. He only looked about 15/16
@@walker7155 id say there was probably more underage soldiers in ww1 than 2
@@walker7155 those kids back then were A LOT different than the ones we have today.
It's wonderful the people who did this for this war veteran. There is hope for humanity. Much respect 🏴
❤️
💚
Absolutely! ❤🩹
Is there tho. From what I can tell, he was deserted and ignored in life. No one cares for his well being when he was breathing. If he wasn’t a WW2 veteran, no one would care about this man in death.
Maybe it’s different where you are but I live in 🇺🇸 and all this shows me is how sick and selfish our society really is
@@joshuad7953 This country is messed up, loyalty, honor, and respect doesn't really exist anymore. But now its more clear we are all just a number in a complex mercyless system.
God bless the people who attended that noble man's funeral. There is still humanity left on this earth
I know 😢
Selflessness begets selflessness, in tears over the kindness of the soldier’s community getting him a proper military funeral. His service was respected.
Sad they get so disparaged.
@D.C. Washington **when you try too hard to make a point n just end up saying a whole lot of nothing, sounding like ur parents were too hard on u brainwashing u to go to church n now ur just old and get no women**
@D.C. Washington Women most definitely serve and support military efforts at home and abroad.
@D.C. Washington no you're the only fool, chill out on the misogyny...sounding like an incel when you say shit like "supreme gentlemen" 😂
@D.C. Washington this is disrespectful to all of the women that are serving now and the ones that have served in the past. Do you not understand who was nursing the soldiers back to health or helping run supplies or creating important and influential coding software that has helped the United States come out on top in several wars and also the cold war. You are out of your mind and prejudice towards women. Coming from a veteran you should be ashamed of yourself.
He has a family we are all his family
Beautiful 🙂🥲
Amen!
Exactly x
💯
where were you before his death? not knowing he existed
It’s sad that he didn’t have any family but glad that he was honored by dozens of people. May he Rest In Peace. Thank you for your service!!❤️✨
When you're old like that you may don't have any family who is still alive he was the only child and never married. There are many old people who don't have kids that are living in their homes alone. My neighbor is 87 her husband died she is alone. I'll go check on her from time to time. Get her groceries and do whatever she ask me to do. she is pretty independent at her age. I love old people
@@msyemisi7930 Bless you!
Ye hate how ppl only cares when someone dies when he was alive nobody was there for him he was lonely now that hes gone ppl started coming lmao
We don’t have many of these people left. They are the brave that we learned about as kids. He’s a hero. May he Rest In Peace, he might not have had a literal family but he definitely has an American family.
As a veteran this was a good feeling to know people of all races can do good together.
This bought tears to my eyes...it wasn't that he didn't have family maybe he chose not to deal with them...to live to see 100 is a blessing so you know he lived an honest lifestyle
How much did the tears cost?
Sometimes we have to leave family to survive
Blessings ✨🙏💞🙏✨
How do you know this information
@@Pbbbb Right. What is she even talking about?
What a load of bullshit? Western life style is anti-family and promotes Loneliness. Change your priority in life. Family comes first.
that’s really heartwarming, even though he had no family he had people around him on whom he had clearly left a lasting impact.
Sad how people only honor / know about him only when he's dead.
Yeah and if he wasn't a veteran, they wouldn't have done any of this for him.

@@evilearthego5256 damn
@@shegimmienerd Am I lying? That's basically what the funeral director said. They only did that shit because he was a vet but if he wasn't, they would have let him sit there and rot.
@@evilearthego5256 yup. Just because he's a war hero and don't make him no difference on anybody else that deserves a decent burial the funeral director definitely got some money off this don't let them fool you

very handsome young man

@@rain0069 Slang for your family. Not a huge difference between 17 and 21. The guy was basically a college student who survived 3 different campaigns in a job where people didn't live long. Quit fighting and respect this man.
This is what America should be about. All races coming together as Americans to Honor one another . Rip Sir.
Thankkkkkkkk youuuu 👍
Yes Sir, I'm an immigrant, but i love this great beautiful country!
we are divided by classes and those classes are divided due to one race claiming to be attacked from getting all the power.
Americans honoring another fellow American. God bless this man
@C Maurice Yes! Facts!
this was heart breaking to watch. To hear that this man died alone in his home is sad enough but to see strangers stepping up to be there for him so he would be buried alone is what almost brought me to tears.
There are dozens of old people living alone in their home. Many people outlive their family and friends. He was 100 years old the only child never married. most people don't live to 100 I'm sure he outlived his friends. My neighbor is 87 alone in her home her son and husband died before her. I go clean up for her do her shopping. I love elders and their stories.

I’m glad his neighbor was able to help him get the funeral he wanted/deserved and all the vets came together for his honors..much respect to Mr. Dednam! Thank you for your service fellow soldier! RIP
6 tours in WW2. That is remarkable. An amazing man. I thank him for his service. Thank you as well.
Could go and fight for a country that didn't love him on another continent only to come back having to fight another war just go get a bite to eat. What an evil nation USA is.
You should first thank the funeral director. It was him who came to know about how this vet's body was still unclaimed weeks after his death and it was him who decided to inform others and gather them for this great vet's funeral. Neighbours didn't even care about him for weeks until the funeral director informed them
Lots of people don't have family until they die. And everyone comes out to claim what's supposedly theirs. Glad this great man was honored the way he deserved. RIP!!
beautifully said

Will you go to heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, or lusted (which Jesus said was adultery, Mt. 5:28)? If so, God sees you a liar, Thief, blasphemer, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible placed called hell. But there’s good news Though we broke God’s law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.(Jn 3:16) then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by others (it’s not a fairytale). He fulfilled all the prophecy of the promised savior. Please repent, today and Trust Jesus, and God will forgive you and grant you gift of eternal life. (Eph 2:8,9). Then to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily and obey it 🤙
Yes, that made me tear up.
Can you image all those years, without family around you? Happy that they all came out to honor this hero.
Probably why he lived so long.
@@MrCaddy775 lol
All my family is gone, and I have no children. I can imagine, but it isn't as bad as many think...
We are the last generation to meet WW2 veterans. I haven’t met one yet, but I feel like I need to before it’s too late. RIP.

@@helenbridges2302 America been had hope you just don’t see the right doing it 💀
@JWIM96 not true. And speak for urself. That's not most ppl...that's our government..place the blame in the correct context. Most ppl don't know this but ANY vet, within 6 months of returning to America, if you can't find a job, can go to the Post Office. By law, even if there's a hiring freeze, they must give them a test and once they pass, will be hired. They don't make this public knowledge for some sad reason. That's where the statement "going Postal" originated bc a great deal of employees are vets....not all..sadly the ones with mental disabilities are the ones that end up in the news; thus, going postal.

@@EzzyStreet We are going through tough times currently, and it feels our nation is divided more now than ever. We all need to come together in order to have hope. Regardless of race, religion, political views, exc. THAT is what America is about.
Salute to Him and all the honorable Men and Women that have served this Country.
I wish he had all this support and love while he was alive. This is depressing
This man probably has way more people at his funeral then most people with “family” will ever have. This is cool to see, thats a long life man ,he earned his. Thatl be something if i ever could live that long
People need to realize having kids is not everything. But being a good person is. Most of the best people have no kids.
@@Notanks228 i have no kids, Lol forget that. Kids are nice but in todays time just taking care of my self can be hard enough haha. They also said that he’s was the type of man that would do every thing himself. thats exactly how i am. He kept his mind busy, and i think thats what allows him to live a long life
@@Notanks228 for a woman it is everything, for a man it's not

All women want children. They just don’t want the stress of dealing with it or are too selfish to give up things to care for them. Deep down they want kids. Just not the responsibility.
Wow!!! This is a great story. This is an American story. It's beautiful to see people who see beyond our races and differences and respect the service he gave. It is a shame he had to die alone. We all need to recognize all people for their goods and services. May Eugene Dednam Rest In Power!!!..... and may he never be forgotten.

"a generation that's almost gone"
.. it hits you, almost everyone that fought in WW2 is almost gone, the people who suffered through it too..
Sad to know that they will be forgotten one day
Gone but not forgotten. There are still many who honor our heroes and will continue. It's up to us.
When you raise your kids, when we all grow old, never forget to pass on the stories and names of these men. Let them never be forgotten. For even though our brains may rot, let the blood we leave behind tell those stories forever.
Maybe not. Gene-Editing will make us live forever!
I'm glad they remembered him, it's how it should be. rest easy soldier
Showing up there shows we are human
I don’t care how he is hurried . Give these veterans their flowers while they are alive. There are so many stories about veterans with mental illness, homelessness that we as a society needs to address !
Exactly!!!!! He doesn't know about this funeral because he's dead. Rip to a hero.
What’s saddens me is no one even knew that he passed away..
Wow, so pessimistic.
Yet the money that could help them goes to Ukraine.
At least he was buried in the perfect way. This is exactly the type of burial he wanted. His wishes were answered.
he lived a whole century, that’s amazing in itself, this man’s service and honor will not go unnoticed, may he rest in peace.
Made his terms clear he wasnt going out easy, back when being a hero really ment something RIP a real one 🙏
You know he and his parents on the other side are so overwhelmed seeing this
Dam 100 years old god bless
Served a country that treated him less than human, helped a continent that wouldn't dare help his. God bless him.
Shut up
Really incredible
Words cannot express the amount of appreciation this hero deserves. He provided much needed service to lead us to victory. Thank you to everyone who paid their respect to this Veteran. As well as to all other veterans during this war to help end one of the world's darkest times. 👏
My Grandad was a WW2 Vet in a segregated unit, when he died the funeral home was packed with us, his family. I just can’t fathom someone dying alone with no one there and to have you’re body sit in that house and then the morgue with no one there to say hey, that’s my dad, brother, father etc,These strangers who came together is the most heartwarming thing I have seen in a really longtime. Love it even more because people of all races came together. Beautiful just beautiful.
This country isn't perfect. But THIS time, we got it right. God Bless Mr. Dednam and God Bless your grandfather.

People need to stop pretending America is this hyper racist, intolerant, irredeemable, brutal wasteland. When push comes to shove most of us know what time it is and will help, regardless of race.
As old as I am, I will NEVER understand "segregation", especially when these men and women stepped forward to serve THEIR country. But in the end, race didn't matter to those to paid respects to this gentleman at his funeral. We can only hope for a better future.
It's so sad to die alone

That is a really kind gesture those people did for w well-deserving veteran. It touches my heart.
Much love. Being alone with no parents would hurt my soul. I can't imagine myself being in his shoes. It must have been tough for him. He will always be remembered as the man who never gave up and honored our country. Rest in peace Lone ranger you will be missed very much.
Veterans that get to make it to 100 years old are so bad ass, imagine the stories that man had. I woulda payed to sit on the porch with him and listen
Yep..they do have stories..my dad was a WWII Veteran...he very really spoke about his military service as a Blackman in the Navy.I wish now that I had asked him...he's dead now.....died in 1979.I wish we would've had many personal conversations... I believe he knew I was homosexual and hated for it.

All veterans are badass
I always think the same thing. I worked with a man years ago, who's grandfather was 100 and still mentally alert. I asked him if he ever sat down with him to hear his stories, sadly he didn't. Being he was a black man, I can only imagine the stories he could have told him.
This is what America should be about, truly amazing.
Jesus Christ the first notes on the trumpet and I’m already crying. I don’t know why.
The greatest generation are slowly leaving us all. We must honor those that have fought WWII. Rest well soldier.
Amen 🙏 my grandfather is 90 and he said he has outlived everyone that knew him. He has survived my grandmother, my Mother, his siblings, most of his friends but one that is 88. So I truly feel empathy for this situation and think it was beautiful of everyone that attended this Veterans service. God bless you.

Let his story be written and told. Let whatever anecdote he told or wrote be recorded. Let his memorabilia be part of a museum collection, for future generation.
This brought me to tears. To all the wonderful, kind-hearted people who respectfully attended the funeral, thank you. Love and greetings from the UK. Rest in Peace Mr Eugene Dednam. 🙏🏾💞
He fought so we could have RIGHTS 🇺🇸👍🏻 ALL OF US
I am moved deeply. Thank you to all those who planned, executed, and attended this event. As a veteran myself, I am proud of what you did for this man.
Everyone should have a proper burial, whether they “got to do service” or not. Also, Eugene Dednam never married but he lived for 40 years with a “friend” name Richard who passed away 5 years earlier.
Oh that’s so sweet and makes me feel better that he had someone 🥰
That's what odd fellows and such were for but they've been demonized
This is the nicest thing that the people there could have done for this man. I had an uncle who had moved far away, he too was a WWII veteran and when he died the nursing home didn't contact his family they buried him in an unmarked grave. He had five kids three living at the time of his death and none of them were notified.
When there are no phone calls from family members to see how a resident is doing. A nursing home assumes they have no family.
@@angelawierda760 Yessss please stay in touch with elderly people. Don't let them die alone.

Yes it is a beautiful story
No one cared when he was spending every single day utterly alone lmaoooo
I wonder what the conversation was like with his mom and dad. Sending off your one and only son into war must have been extremely hard
Damn to die knowing that you are alone is so freaking depressing. Kudos to everyone who attended the funeral
This is what society should be.
This is beautiful. Everyone did this out of the kindness of their heart.
a simple salute is a huge respect to a hero....
This is absolutely the most beautiful thing I've seen in quite some time. I'm a 50-year-old woman who understands what it means when they say someone's of vet! God bless this man and his family and everyone of you who have ever served!
Human kindness. 😭 God bless him.
This is very nice for complete strangers to honor and respect this man for his service to our country.
God Bless his Soul 100 years young... he will be missed. God wanted him more 🙏
God had nothing to do with him dying.
This is a beautiful story. People, not knowing each other, different backgrounds, coming together to pay tribute for this man.🇺🇸👍
Crazy. This was a REAL man.
I'm 65 years old and this story teared me up
Eugene Dedman is an example of humility and service. It's a blessing to know about his commitment to help others in need. 🙏🙏🙏
Wrong, he has a lot of brothers and sisters both alive and with him now, thank you for your service sir.
The world would've been a living hell without heroes from all over the world to defeat Japan and Germany. RESPECT!!!
Dam I would’ve went
Much respect soldier
He gets to chat and reconnect with his old comrades and the people he save in the after life
You have a family, the entire world is your family.
Wow, 100 years. Sad he went alone. Least in the end we get to remember his memory. Rest In Peace, sir.
START TALKING TO YOUR ELDERS NOW!! The wisdom they can share is priceless.
Blessings to everyone who came together to celebrate Mr Dedman's life of service. 🙏🙏🙏
Love to all of them who came out to participate in his celebration.💜💜💜💜
This is beautiful. I almost wish he had received a similar tribute when he was alive. Known how much he was appreciated.
They the real family to him, all his supporters
This just goes to show us that there are still people out here that still appreciate and are thankful for those who put their lives on the line for others. Thank you to everyone involved who made sure that amazing man was put to rest in such a beautiful way. Thank Jehovah God for all of you.
Thank you Eugene 🇺🇲
Wow..God bless him..also those attended his funeral n to those watching this video...
Thumbs up please...
