Bikers Heard This Marine’s Remains Were Coming Home in a USPS Box.

[Gracie]

Um. No.

Staff Sergeant Jonathan Turner served seven tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and died last week in California from combat-related injuries.

His mother was unable to make the trip from Georgia to California for the funeral and the Marine Corps handled all of the funeral arrangements – including shipping Staff Sergeant ashes back home.

And that didn’t sit well with Patriot Guard riders, so they stepped up by creating a caravan and personally escorting SSgt Turner’s remains all the way across the country.

My hat comes off to the Patriot Guard. They have done a great job of looking out for our fallen service members.

Well, he's dead. It's not like he cares how he gets there

Dead people don't feel respect. They don't feel anything

As the sister of a United States Marine, I can assure you that his family sure as hell cares.

Where's he going.....?

To his mother.

Do you think she cares ?

I'll bet she does.

And the Marines should be ashamed of themselves.

It's about respect.

Some father/mother/sister/brother/son or daughter has suffered a loss. You honor the dead by respecting their living.

But their family does. How would YOU feel if your kid that spent YEARS fighting for his country (and YOUR right to show your ass) was shipped home that way? Thank God for the Patriot Guard!!!!

No. He doesn't.

We should care how he gets there. This wasn't some random person in our society. Not a delivery guy, or some Info Tech guy in a cushy office, or some manufacturing worker. This was a soldier who gave the ultimate price for serving the country.

That should matter to us, as a people. And should be given proper respect. Not shipped in a FedEx box.

As a veteran, I totally agree.

All I have to say is fuck you.

Nothing is sacred anymore. It's very sad.

Amen to this. People who give their lives for their homeland's freedom deserve nothing but the absolutely best.

God bless you and the man's family always!!!
