"Are you crying cause it's the wrong colour?" That just made the video a whole lot better.
I'm crying because I can hardly believe what I'm seeing.
damn comedians, they always know what to say, love it
One other thought . . . this is what celebrities should do with their celebrity.
That would require them to stop looking at who they see in the mirror and think of others. Majority, if not all, can't and/or won't do that.
No, help them get a job that pays pretty well.
Rory Starks, Sadly most celebrities support child sex trafficking & are Democrat so empathy does not exist amongst people who are infant/child rape advocates.
Yeah my thought also
Jay never looked bigger
Agreed !!!
I spent 1 tour in Iraq then learned two of my close friends took their own lives when they returned home, I love what Jay Leno did for this Marine, God Bless Jay Leno.
I went to afganistan and outside of the night terrors I was one of the lucky ones that came back.
Crazy innit.. Going to Iraq because he was supposed to have weapons of mass destruction and he had none.. All those wasted lives
Your story hit home for me. I went into the Marine Corps in 1969. A year earlier, a buddy from high school, also in the Marine Corps, was in the battle of Khe Sahn, Vietnam. He was discharged from the Corps while I was in Vietnam, and we lost touch. After I got out in 1973, I decided to look him up. I learned he had taken his life a year after returning home. Welcome home Sgt Maj Wood. I hope you are doing well.
Bravo Zulu, mate.
That’s difficult to say the least Craig. God bless you for what you did for all of us.
Gotta hand it to Leno, big heart and so quick with a joke in any situation.
His comedic timing is golden lol.
"Are you cryin' cos its the wrong colour?" lol....love his sense of humour.
Well, he is an humorist, so... :-)
Agreed! Men getting emotional like that around other men can be difficult but, Jay certainly lightened the mood at that moment!
His timing on that joke was perfect.
Indeed. That's why he hosted The Tonight Show for a long, long time.
rubberdc yeah, that was a great comment from Jay to relax the moment! Did you see the CZcams video with Jay saying goodbye to his friend Rodney Dangerfield?
He’s such a class act. Thanks Jay
My God he really is, and he is always, always on with the quick wit!!!! I love people like that
yeah dont u think we should support them? for what they've done for us
Bless u people!!
I’m British, travel in the US quite a bit and often come across military personnel at airports. Whenever I do, I always make a point of walking over, offering my hand and saying, “Thank you for serving, Sir, because I don’t.”
Good job, Mr. Leno and your team. Thank you.
We Americans love our fellow hero’s in Britain. Brits are some hard men and tough.
As a Brit I would like to thank all the American service men and women who stand guard and look out for the world. You don't have to like America if you don't want to but you have to respect their service people without whom the world would be much worse. I would also like to thank their families for letting them serve abroad as well, this is such a hardship for them and for the American people for allowing their armed forces to intervene when it would be easy not to. But I would ask just one thing PLEASE show them the respect they deserve if they are lucky enough to come home alive and not in a body bag GOD KNOWS the living soldiers who return need it and the poor souls who die should be immortalised because I KNOW THEY DESERVE IT.....By the way you have a better national anthem as well
Im british too you are absolutely right
Yeah its about time this anti-americanism ends. Most Americans are not like how it's being depicted in the media but sad to say that's what the rest of the world is fed. Instead of judging, people need to discover for themselves the true nature of what they are seeing.
Thank you Paul and Lewis. We're going through a tough time right now and need all the well wishes and prayers we can get.
Thank you for the kind words! I’m an AF vet, son of an AF vet, grandson of an Army vet who lost his leg fighting in France! I grew up in a military family. The best words you said were about the families of us....they serve too and so often have NO idea where their loved ones are!
US is going through a lot right now.....but we are losing 22 vets a day to suicide! So I ask all who read this, take time if you see a vet! Just ask how they are....it means a lot to them!
@@michae8jackson378 Total respect to you and your familes service through the years. The image of a VET is a tough guy but as you know more than anyone that life after service can be harder than than anything they have experienced. Remember though there is no shame , no shame in asking for some help with mental health. Stay strong we all owe you a lot and whilst we do not walk in your shoes we will walk beside you when ever we can. Love to you all
Jay Leno is an awesome human being ....I sure MISS HIM in the evening's!!!....OLD SCHOOL 😎🎯🎬
He’s head and shoulders above that clown that occupies his old desk now. That buffoon ranks right up there with Letterman on my “not funny” list.
@The Push In "real life" you are correct
however we play pretend he's a good guy for the entertainment value....
unfortunately... yeah he's a true jackass
Even here in europe we owe to the American heroes who liberated us. Thank you! ❤️
AMERICANS CAN BE PROUD OF HOW THEY TREAT THEIR WAR HERO'S. WELL DONE JAY LENO FROM CAPE TOWN SOUTH AFRICA
Jay Leno is a TRUE AMERICAN and my Hero. I't's to bad people like him never get the credit they deserve. Jay, all my hopes and dreams go out to you. All my very best from a Vet... >
god bless jay and the others .
Jay Leno is a genuine American treasure. God bless you Mr. Leno.
Robert Curtis I'd love to meet Jay,mainly just to go for a ride but mainly because he is a very down to earth man.
Hear, hear Robert Curtis, couldn't be better said.
They say they’re adding his chin to Mount Rushmore in 2020
I love you JAY even though you make me cry. I am so proud you recognize our vets. From a Vietnam vet Thank you so much.
I too am a vet, maybe I should arrange a tour of his garage!! However my service and the service of all of my brothers and sisters does not require or deserve such recognition. I was honored to serve my nation because the United States of America is the best period!!! Thank you Jay for blessing the Marine Hero.
I’m a Canadian,this hero protected his brother,a beautiful Marine,the few the proud,couldn’t stop crying.God bless all of our Vets.♥️🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧
ooo rah
Jay Leno a true American
Jb Campbell.
Is he native American ??
Bless the white heart foundation and Jay Leno
Yes
Unfortunate yes.
People are homeless sick and hungry but lets give the guy who did take care off the money hungry American interests a nice bike, so he has a toy to play with.
You have got to love the American way of thinking!
💔🍌💩
Jay is a REAL man with a heart of gold. Never met him, but the people I know that have say he is the nicest guy in the world.
Thanks to all our veterans. Jay Leno is a class act. Too bad the mainstream media don't show stories about like this. God bless veterans, and God bless the United states of America.
Thank you, Jay Leno, for acknowledging an American HERO......way to go !
Jay Leno is a very good, caring man. I love you Jay! :)
I sure wish Jay was still on late night TV; I miss his humor and his decentness towards everyone.
Could not have found a more deserving Hero. For your service, sacrifices, family man, husband, father on this 4th of July 2020! And bad actor? Give him a spot on T.V.
What a tire jerker we don’t realise what our war heroes have done for use past and present thank you to every man and women how made massive sacrifices for us THANK YOU SO MUCH 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That was AWESOME JAY!!!!! HOOOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
That was awesome White Heart Foundation (who coughed up the cash for the bike). Jay just presented it and got the credit from guys like you.
White Heart Foundation is awesome also but i am also happy Jay presented it giving the White Heart Foundation exposure so people will donate to them!
You do realize that Jay has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to organizations like this? He has also personally helped to raise over 40 million dollars for wounded veteran charities. Or the fact that Jay has not only helped to raise awareness, which of course is one of the reasons that the White heart foundation receives it's donations. Also Jay has actually bought several cars for vets as well. Jay is more than a presenter, he is also a donator. In fact no money was paid for this bike, it was donated. Jay paid for the trip, and it was set up by the White Heart foundation. Chuck gave them the bike, to give to the soldier. So if you really want to try and upset people over money, then tell them to thank Chuck.
YES SIR !!
Fuck off Larry!
Let's not ignore the gentleman in the video on crutches. I understand that he, too,, is an American hero. He, too, made a huge sacrifice, but was not recognized. As a Navy veteran that served in the Viet Nam Era, that hit home with me! But I came home in one piece. Thank you for allowing me vent.
welcome home, brother
You think the world is fucked, then you watch this. Outstanding!
This is what a true wealthy celebrity looks and acts like !!! God bless our awesome military! We love honor and respect our outstanding military in Marion Nc! great vets and soldiers like this is why you never ever take a knee!!!
Fellow Veteran . Thank You for Your Service . I hope your having loads of fun with your Can Am Spider since you received it Thank You Jay Leno & White Heart Foundation for doing this for a Fellow Veteran . Cheers !!
Oh my goodness!! Waterworks!! I’m a vet and ride a motorcycle as well. I can’t imagine how he felt not being able to ride anymore amongst other things.
Great job everyone! I love it!
GOD BLESS YOU, Ms. Rebecca! Thank you for your service!
Peace, Lynne 🍃💜🍃
Thank you for your service, Rebecca. Bravo Zulu.
Tysm for ur service lots of 💘
Thank for your service. Good luck and Godspeed in all that you do. Ride Like the Wind Warrior, Always ♥ -cv.
Thank you Rebecca for your service from an Air Force veteran!!
Mr Leno, thank you for supporting all of us Veterans. Please don’t stop sharing your love.
OMG! I love Jay Leno and I love our men and women in our military, active and retired. This wounded vet deserved this gift like no other. Ride like the wind Sargent Richard Silva. You deserve it and thank you for your service from the bottom of my heart,
*Thank You Jay* *The Government should follow your example*
I wish we in Australia could do things like this for all our returned veterans, it's a wonderful thing to do..
You can, doesn't have to some grandeur gift. As a veteran, just acknowledgement goes a long way sometimes. Some of the toughest guys I saw when I served were Aussie's.. couldn't drink with them
If you can afford it $14 a month to the Wounded Warrior Foundation goes a long way towards helping.
My God? ..... Mr Leno looks like the Cardinal .... laying on of hands! It's a major blessing ...... the excitement, these cars create! .... How funny? ... Beautiful meeting! .....
👍🌟❤😢😘
All veterans should be treated this way and more..they sacrificed their lives for us ..there's absolutely NO REASON WHATSOEVER THEY SHOULD END UP HOMELESS OR OTHERWISE..LAWS HAVE FORGOTTEN AND DO NOT PUT ALL EFFORTS TO COMFORT THEM AND HEAL THEM FROM THEIR PAIN ..NOT ENOUGH EFFORT.FOR OUR SAVIORS! Thank you Jay for making this very special veteran's life happier in comfort! 👍🌟❤💖💖💖
I love to see people who have the eye of the public, do something for others. Remember: It could be YOU one day! Thanks Jay Leno and all artists and performers, that never forget their roots and give back to those that deserve to be recognized and helped! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
God bless Jay & White Heart Foundation ! warms my heart to watch the family and the gesture
I am a retired Army veteran 80% disabled, 22 surgeries, I am not asking for anything, i'd rather see other veterans receive gifts before me, Thank You jay Leno you are a true American hero in my eyes, Thank the veteran for his service, being disabled is difficult taking pain meds daily, but I will do it all over again, at all cost, because USA is the greatest country in the world, America doesn't owe me anything, I owe a debt to America.
It's wonderful to see these special events, gifts, recognition, etc., for these men and women that volunteered to serve to keep us free! I am very grateful for all they gave!
My only problem is knowing too many are sleeping on the streets, and I wonder why???
There are no military in my family, but I do support 2 veterans organizations! One good thing I learned is- I used to send cards to the big military hospital in Washington, but they started returning them because they had so many they couldn't handle them! I then looked for smaller local ones, And even most of them were full, too!
Thanks and my gratitude to all who serve, both then and now!
jay you have a great heart god bless you.
The people at the White Heart Foundation have great hearts and wallets. Jay was just the TV presenter.
Larry Smith
Like Jay hasn't given out cars and large donations to other veteran organizations before. He gave a veteran a freakin Hellcat. Wouldn't be surprised if Jay told them to keep their money for other things and he bought the bike himself.
Auto Young
Are you out of your mind? I can't believe how easily you swallow bullshit. That Hellcat was donated by FCA. This is what I hate about Leno. He's in it for the PR. He presents the award and chips in a tour of his garage. As far as I know, he's only donated two vehicles to charity over the years. A GMC Cyclone and FIAT 500. Hardly worth mentioning. When he donates a Deusenberg or McLaren F1, he'll get my respect. to get an idea of how Jay operates, watch the JLG video on the '56 Nomad. Chip Foose "Overhauled" it on his TV show. Leno set up the mark and delivered the car at his garage. Whenever he talks about it, he says "we" modified, "we" changed, "we" painted, etc. Nobody at Jay's garage touched that thing!
Jay has done some great things for the vets and I believe he does it because he truly cares. Even if he just used his fame to draw attention to the cause it would be a good thing. I don't understand why you would bad mouth him.
Trent Kreitler
Because Jay sucks up all the recognition and nobody remembers the actual charity.
Oh God here comes the tears ,😭😌 . I love these type stories! I think that all veterans should get whatever they desire when they return from war!! They love America and her citizens so much that they will lay down their own life to protect people they don't even know!! I'M SO PROUD OF ALL OF OUR MEN & WOMEN AT HOME & ABROAD!!
To the Vet, Thank you for your service, & to Jay Leno Thank you for your kind Heart. Thanks from Australia.
Great work Leno. Caring for others and using your platform to give back to others is the ultimate thing you can do.
I am a Jay Leno fan for life.
James Kang . YES, me too.Cheers !
James Kang Me too!
May God bless him! May God bless ALL of our Veterans!🇺🇸
Great video. Thanks to Jay Leno and everyone involved.
Peace, Lynne🍃💜🍃
Thank you, Jay, you are a true American Patriot! There are still many great Americans in liberal Hollywood. May God bless you and America, the greatest nation on earth.
Wonderful act of kindness by Jay Leno and the White Heart Foundation. This is what America is all about. Love, compassion and courage. Blessings.
THAT WAS AWESOME!! THANK YOU MILITARY MEMBERS & VETERANS for All Your Time, Service, and Sacrifices given to Defend this Country. GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR FAMILY!!
And thank you for your support for us veterans and current service members!!
"Are you crying because it's the wrong color?" lol
I’m not ashamed to admit it. I cried too.
God bless those TWO American heroes!
Again and again, Jay Leno….your generosity
to our Veterans warms my heart❤
Where would be without our servicemen?
My dad is in heaven now…but he too, paid
the ultimate sacrifice. In life, and in heaven,
I am so proud of my dad. Keep up the good work
Jay!
Jay Leno You are a angel you have heart of gold. Thank you for all you do.
Bless your heart mr.Leno for your charity work !!
You don't have to have money to help a heart, a kind word is worth more. Bless Jay and all those who help others. Step up world and look around you, its about to change.
Jay, you're a TRUE AMERICAN!!!!
Jay is pure class!
Jay Leno is a rare GENIUNE Hollywood figure and the Tonight Show's Greatest presenter hands down. Jonny Carson had charisma but no one connected with his guests as well as Jay Leno did and had as good a chemistry with his guests as he had. He left his show too soon in my opinion.
"Are you crying because the color is not right" LOL! Brilliant!
Thank you Jay for caring for us vets! Even though you can’t give us all bikes and cars, seeing tears of joy fall from a brothers face is far more valuable. Thank you.
I am fortunate we have icons like Jay Leno and our Veterans for all they do to inspire and give back. Thank you to all and God Bless!
Jay Leno you touch my heart by doing this for this veteran and you are a one-of-a-kind God bless you
exactly they're the heroes we need to support and empower wdyt about helping them?
From this ARMY veteran, thank you very much Jay for what you do for our fellow Armed Forces
My favorite Jay Leno video. It's always good to see my fellow veterans get recognition for their sacrifices.
First class all the way! Americans live life to the fullest...... Bravo and Godspeed🙏
Hollywood needs more Patriots like you. You are one of the GREAT ONE"s , God bless you
this can be described in one word "awesome" thanks Jay for all the good you you do, and thanks to all those involved.
Good for him. Jay Leno has always supported the Veterans and is a much more respected true comedian than the others who claim they’re comedians. Great job Mr. Leno.
“Are you crying cuz it’s the wrong color?” Genius
Jay you're a good man
I love to ride and I can only imagine how great it is for him to get back into the wind. Well deserved and thank you for your service.
Thank you sir for your service and Sacrifice! Thank you Jay for being a true American Patriot and hero! God Bless America!
Thank you, Jay Leno and the WhiteHeart Foundation for doing good to these vets. God Bless You all
with all the bad news in the world, it's nice to see people still doing good things for others
Thank you Jay for helping these people.
Thanks Jay, White Heart Foundation, Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys and the Veterans Charity Ride for this touching tribute.
This is really beautiful, to help restore the dignity of the injured motorcyclist.
With his lovely family around him, it was wonderful to see Mr. Leno spring his surprise on this most deserving recipient.
Very Well Done Mr. Leno, you have sincerely helped this good man and his family.
Leno and the foundation are in a class of their own.
Am britsh and love to see how you Americas treat you hero's it brings tears to my eyes these hero's and there families deserve to be treated like that God bless Jay Leno and all the foundations he works with and God bless you war hero's
Man, y'all need to re-take over your country. MBGA
I read this in a British accent
I'm British too and i agree with Julian. I am sure the majority of us Brits do appreciate what our servicemen & women do, but we just don't seem to show it as well you do in the US. Pity really
My comment is for you soldiers as well . It is the least we can do for their sacrifice . without them we are not .
@@savioba1 What? Remembrance Day in Britain is the most moving show of respect for veterans that anyone could witness.
This is the way all military vets need to be treated! God bless America and God bless our vets! 🇺🇸👏🙏
This is what it’s about!! Giving a little back to those who gave all! Respect to Jay Leno and honor to this marine
Jay Leno is a true “ iconic figure”! Always loved Leno( talk show, comedian, fascination with vehicles etc)! Helps out the veterans! Hey Jay ever think about getting into politics? America missed the true “ King of all Talk Shows” period!
Jay Leno what a guy!
Jay Leno is always so generous! I just love him!❤
Jay Leno has always seem like one of the good guys in the entertainment community, they are few and far between
Ask Conan what he thinks of him...
@@iringa77 - who cares? Conan got dumped by NBC because the ratings took a dive after he replaced Leno. He still got paid like 45 million dollars to leave.
Wonderful....wonderful
Good job Jay , I have a special place in my heart for American vet's. My Dad was a Marine /POW Korean War purple heart
Our Vets and active duty soldiers deserve the absolute best!
Jay and his friends are 'TRUE AMERICANS'! Of course the men and women who serve. NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT! Keep on being who you are! I Salute you all!
It is great to see people actually do something for a veteran, as what you mostly see are ways to con the public in an effort to use us for gain.
we need more of this!
Thank you White Heart n Mr.Jay Leno! Leno ur a class act! I am proud ur a gear head! Every time I see you ur in plain clothes nothing fancy just a down to earth guy who loves his fellow American n cars! A true American hero!
Jay Leno you were FANTASTIC. Thanks for supporting your brave war vet.
My opinion of Leno just went up, not that he would care, but he is class.
I have always liked Jay and when he displays his love and caring for our nation's veterans I can now say I that I love him.
Big heart ❤️
Whatever darkness and clouds this Marine has inside, riding that motorcycle will make it a bit better! Thanks Jay Leno! Semper Fi!
Sweden here!
Thank you Richard for protecting our free world!!!
Jay is DA BEST! And a big THANK YOU to all that participated in this donation! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
JAY IS THE MAN
jay's humor in these videos are awesome. you can tell he's being himself and never over the top. natural personality.
War is delightful for those who have no experience of it. We patriots know the cost. Bravo. We will never forget our true hero’s and our fellow Americans that wait at home for the return of our hero’s. God bless America.
