I’m Ethan’s Mom…Thank you so much for honoring each of these heroes/warriors… and the words you spoke about my son, my oldest, at only 21!! I cried through this entire video. Watching him boxing…he was going to go into amateur boxing before he started doing Parkour, and then we moved and he left for the Marine Corps. He was a perfectionist in everything he did. He was so mature and wise beyond his years. I miss him SO VERY MUCH!! I’m in a family group through the Weatherman Foundation, with Shepherds Mom. Shepherd is from a city not far from where we lived in So Cal. They all had warrior spirits…God gifted each of you guys with that!!! TRUE HEROES THROUGH AND THROUGH! Oh, a quick correction, Ethan joined the Marine Corps just 4 months after he turned 17! He was homeschooled and had finished all of his requirements with straight A’s… We knew the Marine Corps was where he wanted to go, to follow in his Great Grandpa and Grandpas footsteps, so, we signed him over. God bless you!

17! I only had one person in my boot camp platoon who was 17, out of 95 people! I learn something new everyday, straight A’s makes sense, he was a perfectionist in everything out there as well, as I mentioned, it only makes sense. I’m so glad you watched this, he meant so much to everyone around him. Sooo glad you’re connected to shepherds family too, it’s a small community, and those who were called home to god all live in our hearts forever. We will see them again one day, I’m praying for you all constantly ❤️

@@CivDiv Thank you so much! He actually came in the top 3 at Boot Camp with all of his combined scores… not that he even cared. He was just glad to make it to the top of the Reaper with double pneumonia and get his EGA and be called a Marine! We even met a guy here where we live who served with Ethan’s Commander in the Army. He even knew Sores from when he served in Syria… such a small world! He now does NGO aid missions to the frontlines in Ukraine. He’s a local Attorney and was an Army JAG.

Boi you on a mission

I don’t go into detail with some of these stories, but I’ll be honest that I carry a lot of guilt with some of these deaths. Again, this is a video meant to honor their names. When veterans are asked if they killed someone, many of them think back at friends they failed to talk to about trauma when they needed help, or situations where we failed to act in courage to save someone. There’s more names to be mentioned, but these are the ones I wanted to speak about. Thanks for listening, and I hope you get what I mean. I’m doing good, but I worry about the family and friends of the people I mentioned more. Keep them in your prayers, thanks

YT keeps censoring this so not sure if anyone will ever read it but here goes…I was awarded a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with a Combat “V”. I had EAS’d from the Corps after doing multiple Deplyments to Iraq (x3). I served with 1st Marine Division, 1st LAR as an infantryman (0352/0351 (retrained to serve as an assaultman after we left our LAV-AT vehicles behind because there was no more armor threat)). Anyway, I never really told my parents about much of what occurred in Iraq. I was going to school using the GI Bill living at home when a package arrived. Inside it contained the medal NAM (with “V”). It also contained the award citation. My parents opened the package before I did and read it. It was pretty graphic about what the award was for. Talked about “eliminating enemy insurgents” multiple times. It’s a long story but I led a fireteam that k** led four men in a building. I personally set a M67 fragmentation grenade on one of those men (he was pinned and trapped in rubble at the time). We had reason to believe he was “de ath gripping” a grenade at the time. I sh *t him a few times with my LT’s pistol but it wasn’t actually ki* * ing him because I could only put rounds in his a ** and leg (only thing that was exposed when we were unburying him from the rubble. We could hear him crying and gurgling bc he had a sucking chest wound already from previous 25 mm fire. and try to angle the rounds toward vital organs which to me was just making him suffer more which I did not want so I used a gre nade. The gren ade blew him in half. My team ki* *ed the remaining men. I also in a separate incident engaged an enemy RPG team while sitting on fire watch of our LAV-25 during Operation Steel Curtain. The 25 mm bushmaster is a deadly deadly weapon system. Those men I watched through the thermals as their bodies went from “hot” to “cold” on the thermals throughout the rest of my fire watch. My LT was awake and in the turret by the time I engaged. He was a good officer. He wrote me up for the award and it just wasn’t “approved” until after I had EAS’d from the Corps. I am unique among Americans. Not many… even infantryman like myself… know for certain that they have ki* *ed people. Ki* *ing is something that never leaves you. I would k* ** again if my life was threatened or my family or my flag etc but it’s something you can never forget. It’s not something that is fun or easy. It’s a tragedy even when it’s the enemy. People are people. Just like the Marines that were ki* *ed on our deployments. Thank you for this video.

He's not talking to us. He's talking to them. We are just here listening. It's tough losing friends. I hope you reach out if it ever gets to hard. The memories will never go and you'll never stop thinking about them. Glad you did this video. It probably helped you a lot. Take it easy, rest and take care.

My Grandpa was a Marine in WW2. Fought on Guadacanal and several other of the tough island battles. We lived with Grandparents for awhile. Didn't have a dad and Grandpa was my world. He would take me to the beer store for his beer runs. He'd let me have a swig of his ice cold Budweiser in a glass bottle. Take the blade out of his razor so I could shave. Just a good man. I was probably 6 or 7 when I started learning about WW2 and all the heroes that served. I excitedly asked Grandpa if he was in The War. He told me yes and that he was a Marine in the Pacific. My excited kid self was in awe of the my Grandpa who I already loved. Next question out of my mouth was , "Did you kill anyone?" The hurt on his face is still with me today. He kind response was "Chris, that's not a question you ask a man." Vets, Be good to yourself. Get help. I'm in therapy at the VA right now. It has been good for me. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for your Brothers. They need that example in their own fights.

Never ask a woman if she’s pregnant, even if she’s in the maternity ward… never ask a vet if they killed anyone. Basic stuff. If you earn the answer, they will tell you. I’m not a veteran, but some things you can’t unsee, friends you can’t revive. Don’t let popcorn curiosities make people relive things while they are trying to do their day. PTSD is not a joke

Dude, this video brought a tears to my eyes, just listening to you talk and the immence respect you had for each one of them is increadible.

I cannot emphasize how much I love how you did this. To memorialize all the people you've lost in your life with this video, it's truly something I'm sure they all appreciate. Dude, don't ever forget you're a really great guy, never doubt that in many ways I strive to be just like you, please don't die man.

Listening to this makes me so emotional. Thank you for sharing who they were. They will live rent-free in my heart. Simper Fi Brothers You are the real Heroes😭 I can't imagine the brotherhood and connection you guys had...

Jesus this hit super hard, thank you very much for sharing this deeply personal and inspirational document Civ

Thank you for sharing the stories of your friends/brothers & sisters. All I want when I die is for someone to care enough to let the world remember me, like you’ve done here. These sound like some amazing people you had the opportunity to serve with. It was both heartwarming and chilling to hear sores’ voice message. Sounds like a truly caring friend.

Thank you for sharing these storys and thank you for your service to humanity. What you do on and off the front is appreciated by many. You're a hero man.

Watched all the way through. Truly inspirational, this entire episode. I’m glad to know, even a small part, of these heroes. It’s great to see your observance and attention to detail - your appreciation for these important people. You honor their memory by sharing their humanity, their mettle, and their passions. They’ll live forever through all of us; and I hope you’re proud to know that you’ve done them a great deal of good by memorializing them in such a succinct way.

I really appreciate this. I've known a lot of vets and this is a common thread. Many people who have walked this path have a line of ghosts walking with them. While it is absolutely a touchy subject and everyone deals with loss differently its still incredibly important to speak about their experience. Not only does the act of sharing stories honor the fallen but it can also help the individual bearing the weight of their loss cope and carry on effectively. Their actions deserve praise far and wide and you sure as hell don't need to carry that weight alone. Thank you for setting a great example and thank you for telling us how great these people truly were. I never knew them but I miss them too.

My God, all of the Civ Div videos have such a deep feeling to them all and although most of the things you speak of are simple to understand, they require a huge depth of feeling to comprehend what you have experienced, what you have lived through and are still living. You are strong!

Watching this my heart broke for you and the ones you lost. I understand now why it's such a touchy subject. My grandfather never ever talked about his time in WW2. I now understand why. Thank you. ❤

What a fine tribute this is to these great people. Very important I think. I had to pause several times and do something else because this is very emotional to watch, it really hits me right in the gut.

You did bring tears to my eyes. The amount of respect you have for all theses soldiers, medicals personels who died is so honorable. Hope for you to have a peacefull life.

Thank you for your service. I thank you greatly.

Beautifully done, man. Thanks for sharing these guys with us. All the respect in the world to you and your brothers.

So humble in your descriptions of these amazing people you've had the opportunity to serve with. I can feel the depth of your words. Keeping them in your heart and continuing to serve causes you feel about, is how you honour them.

Thank you for this video. It means a lot that you would share your stories and impacts your fallen brothers have on you. It also means a lot that you would be vulnerable and show us this side of you and the conflicts you've been apart of. May their names be remembered and their legacies cherished by those whom they've impacted.

Nicely done. Way to honor these folks memories. Thanks for sharing.

This is my favorite video. The memory of the fallen men had me in tears. I loved to hear about their contributions and their character.

Man, this is wholesome. There's a shinning purity in you. I've been a follower of your channel since the very beginning. I knew there was something especial in you. I'm not trying to flatter you, I simply believed it and this video confirms it. Keep on the good fight brother!

As a retired, career firefighter/medic, it's like being asked, "what's the worst thing you've ever seen?" I have said, "do you really want me to share that with you, because you won't like it." I try to focus on the good that I have done and the good men & women that I have served with. Stay safe young man.

Just my curiosity got the better of me to fact check something trivial.

Something I think the other branches have forgotten in recent decades. Y'all exemplify yourselves in word and deed. Thanks for what you do.
