@𝓐𝓝𝓑 V𝖎𝖈𝖙𝖔𝖗-M. D-P. R𝖍𝖆𝖊𝖋𝖓𝖍𝖞𝖗𝖘𝖙 Quoting a bigot to prove a point.

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.

You're already TEACHING this child SELF CONFIDENCE & COMPETENCE & a great EXAMPLE by letting him help with such an important task. Well done. 😊💙

@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".

@@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.

To all the military personnel i thank you for your sacrifice and may the lord bless you

It's stuff like this that proves that we have the best armed forces in the world.

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.👍👍
