The example this man set for his daughter is exceptional. Not only by being in the military, but being retired and still pursued a bachelors degree. This type of commitment is what starts generational excellence.

I'm US Army Special Forces 10 years medevac veteran NCO. High point of my life was congratulating my oldest daughter when she became a LT Colonel in US Army Special Forces as a combat medic.

My mother grown up in the country side of a third-word country, her education is 5 years elementary school, she never have a chance to enter to the junior high school because the jr high school is in the city not in the country side where my mother lived. I sent her the picture of my graduation with the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineer degree, for the whole year she shown my picture to everybody that she knew with tears in her eyes. I love you mum.

These are special times that seem to go unappreciated today. Heartfelt congratulations to all the parents of young men and women that have chosen to dedicate their lives to service to our country.

Any parent who raises up children who are willing to serve their country should be proud.

This dad clearly understands his assignment as a parent and this is why he got the great daughter he did. He pointedly says he's already lived his life and had his career but she's just getting started and it's not about him anymore because she needs the support more. This heart warming moment of father and daughter bonding even more as fellow soldiers was far more precious and touching than if he had chosen his own graduation ...which he knew it would be and is exactly why he chose it. Nice that they chose to call him out on his own achievement and honor him about how he sacrificed his own graduation to be there to honor his daughter with her first salute as an officer.

I remember my first salute in the Air Force. It was my best friend, a Marine. I didn’t know he was going to be there. He flew from Afghanistan to Alabama just for the above reason. We hadn’t seen each other in a year and got two weeks together before he had to go back and I had my first duty assignment.

Pure father daughter Love!!! Both proud of each other.....that's what's life is all about!!

This really warms my heart. As a dad of two sons who are presently in the military, US Marines and US Army. Now awaiting for my daughter to graduate and then go into the US Air Force. We Dads, always wants our children to do well or even have better opportunities than we had. Seems like yesterday, that I was a 17 year old military boy. Now age 57, a military dad and granddad. I hope I am around long enough to see one of my grand children do military too. So happy for this blessed moment for father and daughter, Congratulations from a military veteran, GOD speed to all of them who serve.

That's a young Lt that is going to go far in the Army. And that's one hell of a dad. He knows she sacrificed a lot as a kid during his career so he put her first when it was most important to her. You can see how happy they are too and you know he was as good a dad as he possibly could as a senior ARMY NCO.

Thank you both for your service!! God bless you both.
