Video

Great to be able to see and hear this momentous occasion in Ireland

VERY IMPRESSIVE

Beautiful ceremony HOWEVER, the color guard should ALWAYS have the Ensign on the viewers left while in detail. Never should a flag be to the viewers (crowd) left. I was the color guard coordinator for the MFPU Bangor and I thought I gave a better passdown than what was presented today. Every military member should know the order of colors displayed. Still nice ceremony and congrats to the new MFPU Bangor CO.

Very impressive CoC and promotion ceremony and your recording it, CDR Primeaux!

Well done Vic! Keep leaving a legacy Sir!

Congratulations to your grandfather,Deems.😘

Thanks for posting this video. I am glad to see that this day is still being both remembered and celebrated.

God bless you for remembering this event and capturing it on video.

Never forget the sacrifice!

Nice job as usual, Vic!

Our brothers and sisters in China want to evangelize westward; Europe! Them having their way in this will bring the Gospel 360° around the globe. This is my prayer, how about you?

I would have liked to hear the speakers instead of all the marching music.

Thanks for mentioning Mitchell Paige. Most folks can only remember Basilone. BAsilone and Paige did almost identical actions except mitchell paige led a bayonet charge after repelling the attack.

He’s my great great uncle. That’s me at 5:16.

Thanks for posting this. Douglas A Munro was my great great uncle. That’s me with the blue shirt on the left

It was to share your families with stories

I had the distinct honor of meeting Joe Foss (then Brig Gen Foss USAFR) at the Kaiserslautern Germany Rod and Gun Club in 1957 . We had lunch and a beer. I shall never forget that moment and Joe Foss remains in my prayers every night. Kevin Healey, TSgt. USAF Retired

Thank you for sharing this Vic! What a blessing to honor those who came before us and proudly wore the uniform of our great country!

And then, this happened.. [From Wikipedia] On January 11, 2002, Foss, then 86, was in the news when he was detained by security at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. He was scheduled to deliver an address at the National Rifle Association and speak to a class at the United States Military Academy at West Point. A search necessitated by his pacemaker precluding a metal detector screening had led to the discovery of the star-shaped Medal of Honor, along with a clearly marked dummy-bullet keychain, a second replica bullet and a small nail file (with MOH insignia). So much for how "America" treats its genuine heroes.

Wow! Great man!

Joe never got a trophy for last place.

This is my Brother and I am very proud of him Kit L Harris

"A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The ''United States of America'', for an amount of ''up to and including his life.''" - Author Unknown "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." - Thomas Paine "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” - Thomas Paine

Les High is my next door neighbor... what a great guy!! I'm so proud of him!!!

Thank you for filming this ceremony and posting it and fabulous editing! Absolutely beautiful ceremony.

Is the MC actually chewing a gum while doing Old Glory? Wow

This guy is awesome. Was he the only person in the USCG to get the Medal of Honor though?

I am fortunate enough live about 100 miles from the grave site. I make it a point to visit 3 times each year. Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and 27 September.

Let's leave a nice comment here: Nice.
