I'll bet you haven't seen many clips like this before, given the ban on showing coffins of soldiers killed in Iraq. This video shows the ceremony the 116th BCT conducted for a soldier killed in Iraq as his body is brought to the transport plane.
This is called a ramp ceremony. The soldier is loaded onto the ramp of the transport plane for his final trip home.
The background noise on the video clips is from the plane's generators, or something that keeps the plane ready to go. The still pix are silent.
The video is a bit more than 5 minutes long.
