Would love to watch this video, but there is a problem with both of them.

The URL contained a malformed video ID.

googled it

Sorry about that. The links I copies weren't complete.
Thanks for the fix.
They're difficult to watch though.

Thanks... I couldn't help but think in the first video when he had a laptop, maybe he was on here! RIP Sam

THE FINAL INSPECTION

The Marine stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, you Marine,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The Marine squared his shoulders and
said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Marine waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God,
"Step forward now, you Marine,
You've borne your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

... and if those videos don't make your heart ache, this is one he posted driving his Mustang with his son.

My feelings no matter what I say would be taken wrong.

I hope the best for his family.

This just re-enforces the saying "make the most of everyday..because you just never know" ... as I know Sam did.
