Delta Honor Guard
I had no idea that Delta did this for our heroes. Big kudos to them for this! Oh, and by the way, try to keep it together for the video...I couldn't. (www.youtube.com) Más...Awesome tribute. As a retired Army Reservist after 23 years, it's refreshing to know that a member's service is appreciated. Thank you, Delta.
I give great credit to the dedicated employees who perform these ceremonies for someone who, by definition, cannot return their gratitude because they have already paid the ultimate pride. But I admit the video made me more angry than anything. The body of the fallen should be received with honor along their whole route but they should be seen by the public who go on with their hollow lives oblivious to the losses incurred in their name. A great nation must be defended by all its citizens, not just by the few. And the vacuous "thank you for your service" most people white wash their own passivity with is just too pathetic for me. BTW, I am not a US citizen, but this simple truth is common to all democracies: if only a few defend the nation, their blood becomes cheap to the nation and their lives will inevitably be risked with disregard by their leaders when the eyes of the nation are not on them.
AWESOME! Thanks for uploading.
Here at Islip-MacArthur Airport (lisp) it is down all the time for our home town heros. For their sacrifice its the least we can do.
