WW2 Burial at sea, (plane and all)!

 Very moving and worth viewing .................
 
This is a VERY touching video, actually a piece of film that has been made into a video, this is one that is NOT photo shopped, it's the real scene!
Notice in the opening shot you'll see the gunner's position is all shot to hell while the pilot's cockpit ahead of it is undamaged.
Later on notice the corpsman taking a fingerprint of the deceased gunner, before the film continues, then showing the chaplain saying the final prayers, followed by taps, then the sailors push the aircraft and our patriotic airman over the side and watch it sink into the sea.  Here's one for a serious conversation with your kids.  THIS WAS REAL!
 
This is what 18 year old "kids" were doing in 1944.  No safe spaces, no hurtful unthinkable remarks that they couldn't cope with, just dying for their country so the ungrateful, uninformed  snowflakes of today could act like fools decades later..............
 
 
This 2 minute video is pretty moving.  Worth your while.
