Being disabled and knowing exactly what he is talking about made this hard to watch. Everyday is a struggle but you have to dig deep to keep moving forward no matter how hard or how much it hurts, don't let the monster catch you.

Semper Fidelis my Brother. Carry on. That is all.

THESE are the guys I most admire. They are our brothers and sisters and we must never forget it. Many in society - screw them - don’t have the experiences and/or the resulting understanding that we do. But we should never abandon our comrades.

Beautiful Sir your bravery..you are very great..May God Bless You

Dude, you're tough as tough can be. Beautiful family. God's blessing on your life and your future. A greatful American.

Amen Brother! Never let anyone tell you what you can do. That is a matter of will. My prayers go out for those and their families that have given all and those wounded. You will never be forgotten and will always be with US. I served in the Marines in the mid 80’s and never had to face what you have, however I will always be there for my Brother’s! Ooooorrrraaaahhhhh!

I am a 100% disabled Soldier...two deployments to Iraq....you are absolutely right, brother!!!...i am no Marine but "the heart" of a worrier still beats inside my chest and as long as I have just one "heartbeat" then I CAN move forward...sometimes, that is all i have to give is just "one heartbeat" but its enough to muster the strength to put one of my feet in front of the other...Semper Fi, Marine and thank you for what you have done and God bless:)

Agreed, the constant pain I am in is not as bad as the memories of the 3 Marines I served with who didn't make it home. Weird too, I joke I did the Marines backwards, in that I saved a Marine's life instead of engaging the enemy in combat. And since then I've rescued well...I stopped counting at 18 people for some reason. I'm going to go do push-ups now. Devil Dog! Para-Frog!

Thank you. Stories like yours are heart-rending but inspiring. I have recently, because of complications from bone infections lost half of one of my feet. People act like it should be the end of the world. They don't understand why I outwardly present such a blasé attitude and was able to make jokes about it even in the hospital. And I point to all of the military members and tell them, "look. This ain't nothing. These guys have a lot more going on and their injuries are only the physical toll. If they can move forward and eventually be able to make light and not get stuck, why in the hell should I?" Thank you, all of you for your service, both before and after that DD214. Love you guys.

@@rursun3570 it pains me to hear that you have only been exposed to half the truth. For I know many that think that we are of 1 race the Human Race with many diverse cultures. I am also a vet in my 50’s all my life I have heard from 1 particular political ideology that the other side is racist. However when I research the History of America there is 1 glaring fact that stands out. That Political ideology has a sordid history of systemic racism one of its most egregious actions was the 1857 Supreme Court case of DRESS SCOTT. They were in control of the souther states, not ONE of them voted to free the slaves and it goes on and on from there. And no I am not talking about Republicans, I am talking about DEMOCRATS. Even today the actions of Joe Biden and the way he has talked to the Black community is disgusting. I am of a multi-cultural decent. European Anglo, Asian and Hispanic. What I have learned thru many thousands of hours of research is that the current sources of information are all lying to US to push a certain narrative and destroy this constitutional republic. I don’t ask that you believe me, I ask that you take the things that I have posted and DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH and educate yourself about what is the REAL TRUTH. I have been participating in an informational sharing movement for the last 3 years that has opened a lot of people’s eyes to what is really going on. I simply ask that you find enough value in yourself to invest the time to do research and let the chips fall where they may. I think that you will be surprised at what you find.

Love my fellow Marines

My best friend was in 2/2 Golf company and was there at the same time this guy was. Those were bad deployments. I'll never forget my buddies wedding and him introducing me to all these bad asses. He'd say the who and the where and all the awards, I was in awe of these men and felt rather small compared. Then he turned to me and introduced me by saying "He saved my life...he answered the phone at all hours so I could talk about the weather" . It was then that it dawned on me what he was saying and to whom. They all understood and treated me like a brother. I firmly believe that we as citizens have a duty to honor our veterans as it is us they risked it all to defend. Remember them, honor them, and seek to assist them when in need. Just answering the phone can make a difference.

Thank you for keeping me humble Sir

Ur gonna have to put in a package for OCS, ROTC, Naval Academy or PLC in college to commission as an officer to fly in the Marine Corps. You’re not guaranteed a job field, much less a specific mos. For example, I’m a bulk fueler, while I cherish the experiences I’ve gotten, I wanted to be a grunt. My advice to you would be to go Army if you really want to fly helicopters. Either become a 15T and become a Warrant Officer or Commission through an ROTC program and have a much better slot of being a pilot. If u want to be a Marine though good luck and Semper Fi.

We are discontented because we don’t know what to do with what is and being discontented with what is, we develop the idea of what should be. So our action then is based on an idea and the approximation to that idea is action and there is conflict between what is and should be.

HUA Marine, from an Air Force Iraq Veteran

proud of you iam indian army

Give him one

This Marine got the surgery he needed I'm envious of that as I did not have that luck with the medical system. Occasionally I'll read VFW magazine legion magazine read stories about guys I got 30 to 40 surgeries I couldn't even get one that was the correct surgery on active duty I think injured too early as the Marines hadn't started the wounded warrior program in the service yet and my doctor decided not to follow the MRI and not reattach the tears instead grinding the bone out taking the stability away and the 15° range of motion that I had recovered I went back to zero in a very sloppy shoulder and socket joint l malpractice I believe that every GI gets injuredd in war should be able to use any civilian hospital because we were great saving guys lives down range so we need to put our doctors down range we had Afghanistan and Iraq going at the same time so that left the home team of doctor short-handed and if you're allowed to use the whole United States medical system as we are United States military that would solve this problem and I'm sure recruiting wound go up I had my bicep reattached after leaving active duty talk to a doctor about possible nerve transplant and was supposed to see his specialty team hopefully fixed the five tears that are documented from the original MRI in my shoulder but I got to run around for the military medical system once again I was told I was not on orders when I was down there on orders and the coordinator for the Navy couldn't even get it fixed medical board I feel like if they would have done the right surgery in the beginning or let me go home waiting orders to get the right surgery done at a good hospital I probably went back to deployments in about 3 years
