Police & Fire Dept Plus Patriot Guard Riders Escort Injured Marine Home! | Jason Asselin
Over 40 miles non stop thanks to local law enforcement, fire departments and the Patriot Guard Riders. They thought it would be a few bikes riding with them home. When bike after bike arrived, you could see their smiles begin to grow. Then the Iron Mountain Police and Fire Department showed up along with the Dickinson County Sheriff Department to escort us through town for this hero.. As we left Dickinson County and Michigan, the emergency vehicles pulled off the highway. The Florence County Sheriff Department and Fire Dept were waiting for our arrival too, they took the lead the rest of the trip. The ride through the city of Florence, WI was amazing as people were waving American flags..
This entire escort lights and sirens went for about 43 miles non stop thanks to emergency personal from 2 states! We made one quick stop in Tipler, Wisconsin were the best friend of this soldier was waiting in a fire truck. In the video, you'll see the truck.. What an amazing ride and escort for such an amazing hero!

This is the America that he went over there to protect.
the greatest thing ever for a Marine
Can't help but cry every time I see an escort with the Patriot Guards, God Bless one and all. Especially the fine young people who choose to serve.
89 dislikes wtf this is awsome thank you for the men and women who had served
God bless the Patriot Guard!
THIS is what we should do for all our people returning from war! I remember the nam and dorean vets who were disrespected when they returned!
THANK YOU Marine from an old retired fly boy.
it's nice to see soldier's being treated with respect and honor. they sacrifice so much for our homeland.
FANTASTIC Patriot Guard Riders and all !!
welcome home! been there my friend. 1988.
This is the way all of them should be welcomed home.
The patriot guard riders are an absolutely amazing group. Some of the most gracious, respectful, selfless, and kind people I have ever met. They welcomed home my sister-in-law back from iraq and stayed over 5 hours at the airport at 2 am since her flight got delayed. It was absolutely amazing.
We try our best to make the experience..
A truly wonderful gesture of respect.
thank you to those who served
.. i live in the US for 36 years (born in Greece), ..GOD BLESS America ,and our Troops !
just wanted to say-thank you to all service personsel for every thing both Vietnam and all other conflicts. we support you need you and love all of you. just wish that every one could come home alive nor wounded. God bless you all.
Respect!, I wish our boys here in the UK could get that kind of acknowledgement for there bravery. Great video, thnxs for the upload and God Bless.
Semper Fi brother!!!Welcome home.
If only this much respect could be given to all of our veterans.
FrostyFooy it is given; by patriots like in the video. Some can't, some don't care, some would leave work for this.
video made me cry. they all deserve such respect. thank u for all u do. thank u to all who fight to keep this country free
As a Vietnam Veteran I'm happy with this young Marines welcome home.
All veterans should & should have been treated like this! I'm a mother of a marine and future Air Man! Thank you for your service in Vietnam and for all that you went through! May God bless you!!
Proud of my son 2nd Lt. Paul W. Neidhardt USMC on active duty. Our freedom isn't free.
i agree to everyone of you who says that we should support are troops. my nephew is in the marines. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SERVED AND WILL SERVE IN THE US MILITARY.
We do this all the time in Ontario Canada The largest multi lane highway has even been renamed the Highway of Heroes (401) escorting our soldiers home from overseas. CFB TRENTON!!! Thank you all stateside or up here for your service! :-D
this is how a soldier should come home and for those who have fallen it should be greater
when a fallen soldier comes back home we should not dwell on the fact that such men died but that such great men lived😇😇😇
Everyone of our men and women in uniform coming home from deployment should have this type of recognition. Beautifully done.
To Donna Gil house now I agree with you 100% EVERY SINGLE MILITARY PERSON SHOULD HAVE THIS KIND OF TREATMENT.
God bless our military and 1st responders! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲
HUGE THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SERVICE!!!!!!!! GOD I THINK EVERY SERVICE MEMBER SHOULD HAVE A EXCELLENT ESCORT HOME
I want to say thank you for your service to our country and thank you to the Royal Guard for their support to the military.
Welcome home Marine!!!! I love doing welcome homes great job Patriot guard!!!!
Former Petty Officer 1st Class....Thing puts a pride in my heart i can not put in words!!
This should be done for every single one of our military when they come home. Whether it is walking on their own two feet, injured and recovering, or being brought to final rest, they ALL deserve a hero's welcome. God bless the ones who do this. They understand what it is all about.
UofMichFan I agree... but the amout of time and money it would take will be... astonishing..
hsyen hungferd Yeah, and we need that money to take care of all the illegals and refugees. We wouldn't want to let them down now would we? SMH
United ! That's what it's all about. Huge country, huge heart :) from Scotland
Hello from America:)
That took some amazing coordinating to pull that off!!!! Great job to everyone involved!!!! WELCOME HOME MARINE!!!!!
God bless you all darling people for preparing such welcome for this Marine. All soldiers should be treated like this. I am crying. A young mother from Florida.
+Chris Gabaya *** Why not? Explain the difference, since y love them all the same.
+Chris Gabaya *** But aren't all you mentioned SOLDIERS??????
welcome home sir, god bless you, thank you for the service much respect sir
It's nice to see a tribute for someone alive to appreciate it. Too often we "appreciate" someone when they're being buried instead of appreciating them enough to not sacrifice them for someone's political gain.
bengemeister - You got it. Notice how Democrats (Clinton & Obama - both didn't serve a day) gets praised by honoring soldiers alive. But when a Republican (W Bush - served National Guard & Trump, who didn't served) does that, they get criticised. Always the same criticism. He got his dad or did something out of going or serving. They same way the Democrat got out. Best part, the military respects the Republicans more than they do with the Democrats. Military knows bullsh*t when they see it.
Thank you for this! You make us Canadians proud! It was truly a pleasure to watch this.
Our Soldiers and you guys make me proud to be an American!
DANNY. You are right. And it's things like these which makes America Great. God bless America and patriotic Americans like you see here.
Jason my friend is a patriot Gard rider Temple Texas they will go out of their way to respect our soldiers even in bad weather God bless our Patriot guard and Marines🙏❤️
Welcome Home Marine Welcome Home and TY for your bravery, your honor, your loyalty and service to the US Constitution, The stars and stripes and the Declaration of Independence.
Now THAT'S a Welcome Home parade! Fit for a hero!
God bless you Randy and thank you for your service
Welcome home, May God bless you and your family! +++
It warms the heart to see the support that others show for our nations military it makes me happy to be joining the ranks of the marine corps among those who've given everything and more for this great nation !
Much respect to our troops and first responders and these motorcycle people.
THIS IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. U.S.A. WELCOME HOME
Jason Asselin thank you for this video and being part of the welcome home troupe. As a firefighter I wish we could welcome home every Soldier, Sailor, Marine and Airman with an escort.
Too bad they don't ALL get this sort of escort home ... not just the injured and the dead ... the living and whole, too.
this is what the Soldiers of this Country Deserves all the time
I have got a tear in my eye watching this. If only our boys in the UK were treat this well.
Makes me a proud American
if America knows how to do one thing right it's welcoming there brave men and women home God bless the land of the free
Great Escort Honor & Respect Welcome Home Marine from Patriot Guards of Arizona
It took a lot of good people to pull this off. I was a police officer in a small town but the only time I pulled escort duty was for funerals. Welcome Home Marine! Well Done!
Bless our Troops and Police i respect you all
THIS IS LOVE AND RESPECT IN ACTION! Amen
Wow this made my day. I remember a time when returning soldiers were greeted with disdain and insults - heroes who risked their lives in the service of country. Let it never happen again. We must always honor our veterans and show them that their sacrifice is appreciated
Me and my friends still greet them with disdain and insults. We like to kick their asses when we catch them out in a bar/club too. We hate military. They act all stuck up and shit because people like you try to glorify them and tell them how awesome they are. It's just a job, a job they chose to do. So fuck them I don't owe the assholes jack shit.
+gangster3591 Never again shall our troops be treated like that!
+Miley Thighless Without us the world would be chaos
Demoblade Well said. Very well said. (Not sarastic)
@@mileythighless5094 GFY
So AWESOME that motorcycles can hold such big hearts! Thank you all for helping one of our Marines find his way home. I hope he is doing well.
Welcome Home!!
I'm so glad to see a Marine walking to see his own tribute ... Semper Fi. Such a difference from when our Viet Nam vets came home.
Note how humble he is!
Traci Scheelk Yes, WE should have. USN retired
God Bless America.
God bless are soldiers 🙌
If you watch as he releases the balloon. He gives a tiny salute, I think he was going to, then decided he didnt want people to see. Broke my heart.
Thank you for all who have served our country, and to all of those presently serving, thank you. Knowing that others will do something to show support for our men and women in uniform and to show their families support, and to go to great lengths to do something as to travel over 40 miles to bring a soldier home, deserves the same thanks as those who serve and protect. THANK YOU.
This is patriotism, this is America... my country the second most powerfull of americas need this absolutely
like how there were so many motorcycles that alot of times when they past certain areas, the rumble from their engines would actually set off alot of the vehicles car alarms......
Would have loved to have seen my brothers come home to a big welcome. These men and women deserve a Welcome Home every time they get back to the States.
I know this is 2 years old but hell it still makes me proud to be a PGR member. I'm sharing this so others can see what we do for our Veterans. Keep up the good work. Love and safe riding. Gabby, PGR NM
Proud to be an American, not for our screwed up government, but for our people with their great hearts and our soldiers with their fierce fight to protect us.
I am not even from the USA, but as a soldier i feel the love for anyone who served their country.
Hell yeah! Rocking that Purple Heart and CAR.
Hopefully they do this for more servicemembers when they finally come back
+ron sanchez Any who ask..
this is what makes America a good country even tho theres bad stuff going on with America!
Roger to that.. this is exactly what I still love and enjoy seeing in and of our great Nation! as it should be! taking care of our own!
Watching this brought tears to my eyes. America needs more of this!!. It would be wonderful to welcome every returning service man or woman in such a spectacular way, but sadly very few are recognized.
much love soldier...
Absolutely loved this! 🇺🇸
Chokes me up everytime I see something like this ...... Once again Thank you Patriot Guard ! Semper Fi Marine !
Glad I created something so touching.
I know exactly what you mean! Gives you a certain feeling you don't get anywhere else, makes you proud. Right through Iron Mountain! Family has a cabin just over in Spread Eagle
America at it's finest .
To all our military personnel, past and present, thank you for your service.
Great Welcome Home!
Thanks for commenting!
HOORAH! Semperfi than you for your service MARINE
That was respect that was earned God bless you and rest in peace
14:07 You know you are home when the store only has signs for Hamms Beer and Pabst Blue Ribbon! So great that you were able to see what military service means to us, "We The People".
I am so glad that America has come to it's senses and decided to honor vets and treat them well when they return. As I child I witnessed the horrible treatment my uncle got when he returned from Vietnam. He came home with two purple hearts and a silver star and left an arm and a leg back in Vietnam. He was warned to return home wearing civilian clothes but he insisted that he wore his uniform. He was proud of his service. But he was assaulted from the time he left the base in California to the time he got home in New England, multiple times. His uniform was in rags by the time he got home, torn by evil people who treated him hideously along the way. They even ripped his medals off his chest and spat in his face. He picked them up out of the gutter covered with mud and put them in his pocket, the ribbon from his purple heart torn. He was kicked and hit yet he insisted upon wearing his uniform home. That was the only time I ever watched my grandfather cry, when we picked him up at the bus station in Boston. My uncle put away what was left of his uniform and never spoke of his service or the trip home again. We didn't even know he had earned the purple heart or silver star until I found the citations in his luggage which he had buried in the back of a closet in my grandmother's house when I helped her clean it. He had been injured twice. The first time he caught bullets and shrapnel while in a battle. The second one he lost his arm and leg in an explosion while in the middle of rescuing fellow soldiers who were pinned down. That second one got him the silver star. We knew he lost his limbs. We had never known it was due to his being a hero. I am so glad, so glad that vets get better treatment today. Now if we can just get the V.A. off it's duff and join in with the rest of the country.
nunya biznez: I'm a Vietnam vet and I'm so sorry for the horrible way your uncle was treated. You didn't mention if he is still with us but either way I have no doubt that God is with him. I know it doesn't do any good but I hope those sub-humans (they don't merit the title of animals) are in some other country because there's no room for them here anymore. Thanks for sharing that and God bless your uncle. A hero in every sense.
Welcome Home & Thank You!
nunya biznez M not even an American and I don't like the shit the army did in Vietnam but thank Ur uncle for his service coz he did what his nation asked him to do. EVERY SOLDIER DESERVES RESPECT
My Dad served in Vietnam, and he got the same treatment here in our country. I've been to 19 conflicts where I and my men have been shot at and we have no such thing as these parades here. I love how you US citizens celebrate those who serve. Much love to you all, from NZ.
I would like to see those people try that with me! When the 2003 invasion of Iraq began sending troops home me and my friends were looking for cowardly hippies just waiting for them to make that first move,it would have been their last! These colors don't run,we reload!
Been watching fallen military processions which is incredibly sad. But just had to watch the ones who were able to come home. Thank you for your service.
Only in America is so much pride shown to their armed forces you really are a fantastic nation you have given so much to make the world a safer place God bless you from an ex British paratrooper who spent many a good time with your airborne forces.
only one question and not wanting to comeout wrong why doesn't every American love and appreciate them this much when alive
+TNINE009 He was alive..
Ty for your service Corporal Randy......
thanks and best wishes for the honor you have given the Marine and all US vets thanks again
i made it (mostly) unscathed after 21 years of service. i'll never forget my Guadalcanal-survivor father's pride in presenting me to the Helena, AR Legion post 41 (the one i finally persuaded him to join) the proud parent of a 6-war veteran. This video brought tears to my eyes.
thank you folks for giving our wounded servicemen the respect they deserve. Ride proud brothers and sisters
Our great military cannot be thanked enough. May the fallen rest easy now in God' hands.
OUTSTANDING.
Thank You for your service, we in the US do care for our VETs.
Welcome Home Marine
Now this is America!
+The Cove Channel Indeed!
