Two Marines were walking through Walmart. My 4 year old son froze. He pointed to the two Marines. “Daddy... look. Heroes.” I stopped the two Marines, each twice my size. “Guys,” I said, “my son would like to shake your hands.” The two Marines suddenly stood at attention then each knelt down and shook my boy’s hand. They spoke to him for a minute or so. They were so kind, so gentle. Then they stood and saluted and my son instantly saluted back. Then they walked away. 17 years later my son became a United States Marine. It was his dream, instilled by those two warriors. My son was severally injured and was honorably discharged two years later. But his dream was realized. Thanks guys.

I really liked seeing the little girl in her blue jeans, hanging out with boys. My mom served. She liked her jeans. I like men generally; they tend to be good Allie’s if you’re in a situation (and I always am). I just thought there was something nice about it. Men get trashed on a lot but there’s some good ones out there. We wouldn’t probably be able to live our lives as free people without the military protecting the constitution of the United States for us. I think our freedom is paid for by the military and for this they ask very little. I think this is an under appreciated perspective but very valid even within United States borders. I also liked how neat clean and composed the Marines were. So I’m saying thank you in my roundabout way. It’s hard in the political climate to know what to trust or think. But I do know that they are protecting us from real threats to our values and that those values are important not superfluous, the constitution. I’m pleased a child was allowed to be part of this ceremony. I feel they are saying their power is derived from what they are trying to protect.

@TravelCoach24 Well thats one way to look at it, mostly the one-dimensional way. I'm not promoting war at all, but killing has always been a part of human history, it's not a new concept. Maybe the tools have changed, but the behaviour has been there all way long. And of course i do no agree into governments going to war, but i always support the troops. If you'd like to have less war, vote for another government. I live in europe and without people willing to "murder" others, there would be a picture of the Führer hanging in every school, every government building. So where do you draw the line, at which point a war is "right", the reasons for it are "good". Thats what i mean by describing "one-dimensional".

That's so true.

Tell that to the Marines that show up for fund raisers and stuff around here. Most of them are too busy on their smart phones to shake hands or even make eye contact with anyone.

Two Marines were walking through Walmart. My 4 year old son froze. He pointed to the two Marines. “Daddy... look. Heroes.” I stopped the two Marines, each twice my size. “Guys,” I said, “my son would like to shake your hands.” The two Marines suddenly stood at attention then each knelt down and shook my boy’s hand. They spoke to him for a minute or so. They were so kind, so gentle. Then they stood and saluted and my son instantly saluted back. Then they walked away. 17 years later my son became a United States Marine. It was his dream, instilled by those two warriors. My son was severally injured and was honorably discharged two years later. But his dream was realized. Thanks guys.

I once promoted a Marine officer pilot student while flying in our helicopter.
I really liked seeing the little girl in her blue jeans, hanging out with boys. My mom served. She liked her jeans. I like men generally; they tend to be good Allie’s if you’re in a situation (and I always am). I just thought there was something nice about it. Men get trashed on a lot but there’s some good ones out there. We wouldn’t probably be able to live our lives as free people without the military protecting the constitution of the United States for us. I think our freedom is paid for by the military and for this they ask very little. I think this is an under appreciated perspective but very valid even within United States borders. I also liked how neat clean and composed the Marines were. So I’m saying thank you in my roundabout way. It’s hard in the political climate to know what to trust or think. But I do know that they are protecting us from real threats to our values and that those values are important not superfluous, the constitution. I’m pleased a child was allowed to be part of this ceremony. I feel they are saying their power is derived from what they are trying to protect.
You're already TEACHING this child SELF CONFIDENCE & COMPETENCE & a great EXAMPLE by letting him help with such an important task. Well done. 😊💙
Thank you all military folks (living, deceased, or disabled) for your service. The world is a lot safer thanks to your sacrifices. Sincere condolences to all military families for the loss of your loved ones. Rest in peace 😞🎖🪖
A lot safer due to american military actions? ? Tell that to the Afghans, Syrians, Iraqis, Koreans, etc whose family members were killed and tortured by american people!

I'm a civilian, after watching that I'm in tears so very touching.
@TravelCoach24 Well thats one way to look at it, mostly the one-dimensional way. I'm not promoting war at all, but killing has always been a part of human history, it's not a new concept. Maybe the tools have changed, but the behaviour has been there all way long. And of course i do no agree into governments going to war, but i always support the troops. If you'd like to have less war, vote for another government. I live in europe and without people willing to "murder" others, there would be a picture of the Führer hanging in every school, every government building. So where do you draw the line, at which point a war is "right", the reasons for it are "good". Thats what i mean by describing "one-dimensional".
i believe it meant to be that way, but wars are basically made for corporations not for the safety of anybody.
l hope he can learn to look with more advance spirit and empathy. he has being promoted by his kid exactly to kill for others' kids and torn others' family also....
...EXACTLY!
When my dad got promoted to 1st Sergeant in Japan, my siblings and I got to put his new insignias on. Watching this kind of unlocked a forgotten memory...
I served in the US Army in the early sixties and the US military is very diligent about taking care of service members families. It isn’t perfect but this shows how to get it right. Since this is dated in 2016, I wonder if this sergeant has been promoted again. He and his family are entitled to be proud of his service to our country.

I wear it with pride today I miss my brother 😢😢😢😢 stand tall to all of you that was a Marine hope you feel the same way that my brother did!!!

Thank you for service in the name of master of Ameica the CRIMINALS ZIONIST
"Good afternoon gentlemen," that was so cute
I have upmost respect for Marines . My stepfather was a Marine. I regretted not inlisting. Thank you for protecting are great nation!!!!
Even a marine cant keep his face straight when getting his new pins done in such an awesome way :) Thanks for your services and semper fi !
Made that kids day.
Elliot Hagen Made that Marine's day,also.

The marines keep finding a way to becoming more COOL.
Like joining the Ranger Regiment.

I wore a black beret when only WE wore a black beret. 1/75...sua spent, brother!@@michaelr.2428
@@pfdrtom Now everyone wears them, but ya know what, there are a lot more kids doing time where it ain't safe. I see a lot of kids going in now finding new respect for the Rangers and what they have to do compared to other branches. I tell them Rangers have got to always be ready to get their hands dirty. There are a lot of good people going in. Many wanting to be part of a unit where they can say "Airborne", be it 101, 82, or Rangers with a "Airborne" rocker over the top of the 75th scroll. Proud of these kids. I always steer them toward learning about the lineage of the Rangers, especially from Viet Nam era. They eat it up. Only hard working kids are gonna be in the military now. The average kid on the street today isn't worth a damn. They're all mommy's boys.
To all the marines your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard love and respect you guys thanks job well done you should be proud appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe
As a former marine Sgt I loved this video. I loved serving. This must have been a real joy to have your daughter pin you. Simper fi.
Absolutely beautiful. I especially liked his uniformed mates smiling.

My granddaughter then 2 almost 3 saw a man in a uniform and ran up to him and grabbed his leg and the poor guy looked stunned and like he was looking and trying to figure out what was going on...then she pulled on his shirt and was looking up at him and was pointing down...so he knelt down to her size and she gave him a big hug around his neck and and slobber kiss that only a 2 year old can do and told him in her sweet whisper voice she said "Thank You" and off she ran back to me...it took this fellow a minute to realize what just happened and when he did a tear was in his eye...we later found out that he was a general and his family was already sent back to the mainland...to this day she still does it minus the kiss of course...she is now 12 year's old and so proud of our Military Men and Women...
That's darling!

okay no, this story is a complete lie, no way in fuck
@@1500Chevy go to china, Antifa.
Precious!!
After 20 years and retired from the army I was so impressed especially having the family member pin the the stripes on go marines
I am no fan of military, but this is a good reminder, that no matter "on what side you are on" there is always loving family waiting for their return.
kid knows the correct way to pin them on
John Reed 2:28 he practiced for this....
He thought him/her very much at home many ..but that kid is so smart
That's so awesome, no higher honor sir ,than the love and respect of your family. That's what we're sadly losing in this country. God bless you and your family.
Thank you! God bless!

I love how he looked at the first one to make sure they were lined up. Too much attention to detail for a kid that age…he’s going places!
The Marines are incredible in their defense of Constitution and Country, and should be honored as such. From a old Nave sea dog.
I tried joining the Marines after my mother passed away when I was 17. I was declined due to being asthmatic. To this day… 42 years later… I feel a great sense of lose in my life… for both my mom and my missed opportunity to serve with the greatest military on earth. I thank each and every one of you for your service. Semper Fi.
i too was denied after having both high school JrOtc and 2 yrs of ROTC under my belt. i had broken up with a young woman who had cheated on me but 45 days later i was told i was going to be a father of which i had doubts was my blood. was denied because i was not married and had a child on the way. i tried 5 times taking the ASVAB(SP?) test and on the 5th attempt almost made it thru... so i felt very bitter i was not able to persue my lifes dream of serving... but i became a good father despite my ex's 20 yr attempt to make my life miserable. I admire and respect all branches of our military and in my heart know that i would have been a good soldier.
Denied USAF for the same reason in the mid 90s. Would have been cool to become an aircraft mechanic.
Haven’t won a war since 1945. Real dads stay home. Not go overseas to kill other dads.

@@DistendedPerinium American war machine is the ruling class recruiting the underclass using “watch cute family greet part time daddy and family slayer” films. This ensures military investments continue to fund ruling class extravagance and the under educated and under employed continue to enlist.

Thank YOU for your service, sorry for the tears!
Bro it's advancement !! Against the Establishment! Doing what's right! Sweet Vid. Congrats Brother!
Tears allowed here, definitely.
You can remove the "Ex" shipmate. Go topside and and get some compressed air, you'll be fine....it was a tug at the heart string video though.

congratulate them on their happy return, can see how happy their loved ones and families are.

@@yaminhaqani6387 so, u think that ur mosque and those Imam which use to spread venom from the speakers and ask Pandit to leave or convert weren't terrorists. I'm sorry, they where local ppl who wanted to make kashmir a muslim country but India will not allow that. We believe in values of secularism and we will do everything to protect our democracy and secular ideas. We won't allow another Pakistan to be carved out from India. We will stand till our last breath with the ppl of Jammu, Ladhak and those Kashmiri which always support India. India will not compromise with her principles on with she stands for.

Way too ADORABLE, it's un bearable. God bless ALL YOU AMERICANS.
Gotta love it. That was way too cool for letting his youngster do that for him. Another future marine, I'm sure.
Freakin awesome!!!!
Aaron Cunningham Right that was soooo sweet
Aaron Cunningham Speaking of future Marines, I'll bet all the others were trying to keep a straight face while this was going on.
When my nephew got MSgt, his eldest boy pinned him. 3 weeks later, he joined the JROTC - Marine .. The tradition lives on!

Is he not a soldier is a marine army are soldiers
Concerned Teenager I dare u to call a marine a solider
Concerned Teenager - Just... don’t call them soldiers.
Amen
Concerned Teenager they hate it trust me
That is very sweet and what a wonderful example for the son! The child had such nice manners! I love the "Good afternoon Gentlemen" and the superior officer's reaction! All the Marines including the commander were smiling.
You can tell that nice kid is a future Marine because the first and last thing he did during his dad's ceremony was issue the proper greeting to his dad's superior officers. That's awesome.
Thank you for sharing this with us it was so moving bless you and thank you for your service amen
If anyone ever thought that a Marine doesn't shed a tear, I'm sure there were a few tears of joy amongst the rank and file that day. Semper Fi gentlemen!
I'm disabled Army and found this to be the best promotion ceremony I've ever witnessed. Thank you all, stay safe, stay frosty.
That cutie pie will never forget the day she got to help honor her father. Awesomr
Great moment for Father and Son.👍👍

@@MrMann-gt1eh I really respect that, and I think that your navy, the marines, and all your army are true warriors, what I don't understand is what do you figth and die in other countries, I saw a lot of videos when the marines come back home and see their families, that's really touching, but you don't have to do it, nobody has to die out of their homes just 'cause your pressident says that you will bring peace and freedom, we're all humans, we're all citycens in this world and we have to understand that we're brothers. That's what I feel, trust me I don't want to be disrespectful or anoying, peace.
