This has been happening on military bases around the world for decades. If you’re a BRAT, you grew up knowing what was expected of you. When I was in high school in the ‘70s, before the start of any film in base theaters, the National Anthem was played with the flag on the screen. You were to stand with your hand on your heart, and we did. If a couple of teenagers got cocky and did not, a pair of MPs were sent down the aisle to correct the issue. It could become a sticky situation if one of your parents held rank.

Having lived on military bases with my father being in the military, respect was just something you grew up knowing. You had an understanding of the sacrifices your mother or father made as a member of the military. Sometimes that admiration and respect can lead you into a career in the military as it did for me. But at the very least it makes you a respectful, proud citizen.

I would like to say that all these children deserve to be give a pat on the back, they are a credit not only to their parents but to themselves, God bless them.

As a veteran who used to live on military installations, I had a feeling of pride when stopping and standing when this song was played. I kind of miss this stuff.

They looked at each other and stood, Not one had moved a muscle. They wouldn't move even if they could, Not one was in a hussle. They stood as their hearts, Sang to the music in despair, As they let go of all their parts, As if the music was their air. Only they were the ones to stand, As respect is now little to none, While their souls became a hand, When the song was almost done. Reaching out to the ones who died, As if they knew them as a friend, The song started to hide, When it came to be the end. They stopped and waited a moment, Then went on with their day, These five children gave a hint, That respect was still at bay. ~TB~

Any military brat in any branch of the service at any station at any time. I was 26 years active duty, Air Force. Ten years as a First Sergeant and now retired for 16 years. We lived all over the world and 4 kids born in three different countries. Recently my 34 year old daughter was coming out of a post office about a mile off base, heading back to my car, and the prevailing winds carried the sounds of retreat off base. As soon as she heard it, she came to attention and, "stood retreat." How much better could that be? I was proud, and she just said, "So am I." Her oldest brother is now retired Navy (Corpsman, so he was really a Marine - FMF pin) who was in the Balkan wars and Afghanistan and another brother was 8 years Marine. That's 54 years combined service from my family to yours for your protection and freedom. You're welcome. People who do not understand what this is all about are all barking up the wrong tree.

the little girl who does the jump and twist with a little kick is adorable!

I grew up on military bases (Army brat). This was explained to me as the way we showed respect to those who were serving or had served our country, particularly those who had died for us. After that explanation, there was no need to force us to do anything.

I love this video. I love the way the children recognize the significance of "Retreat" being played on base and show proper respect. (and especially how the little girl in the yellow dress acts - stops playing, shows respect and, when the music stops, returns to "little girl" mode by jumping, spinning and playing). It's not brainwashing but a show of respect for military traditions. I've had the honor of seeing hundreds of children on half a dozen fields getting ready for youth soccer stop what they're doing, stand still, face the flag/music and offer respect for Army tradition. It's a proud dad moment when you see your son set an example by standing still first, without any prompting.

Great job kids. being military kids you are taught patriotism. I don the same as a civilian if I'm on a base at colors.

I was embarrassed, to see my boss refusing to stand at at attention when the flag was being raised. I stood, and even put my hand over my heart (due to the flag being in clear sight). He kept on working and even made a joke about the current guy in office. I am not an obama fan at all, but the flag doesn't do with him, but with liberty, and freedom. He still made fun of men for doing it, but I can deal with his bullshit. It was than, I knew that he truly didn't appreciate his freedom.

My husband is retired Air Force and the only base I've heard this is on Fairchild AFB (not McChord, Travis, Eglin, McDill, or Homestead AFB's). It's played on many bases (Air Force, army, navy, Marines). Everyone is required to stop what they're doing, even civilians, and stand at attention until the music is over. If your going to your car with 15 bags of ice cream in 100 degree weather then you just stop in the middle of the parking lot until the music stops.

My 6 year old already knows about cow slaughter, heart operations, the civil rights movement and things as such. He understands respect and gives it. And "my Bubble" as you put it, again, you have no idea what my bubble is. for some reason, because I think these kids are showing respect I have no varying mind set. That I only hang with these people (which that in it self is a puzzle, because you never really say who these people are).

I am not. its a computer chat and for all know, you could be a computer.

Though I will admit that Evening Colors on Navy and Marine Corps Bases are more moving then Retreat on Army and Air Force Bases.

This question is asked a lot as though a parent couldn't possibly be commemorating something their children participate in on a nightly basis on a military base.

Reminds me of when I was in high school overseas and when we were on base. I miss that.

Position of attention, fingers curled...even a hard as nails Drill instructor would be proud. I'm Army and what's really sad is these punk Privates who feel "inconvenienced" by Colors. Makes me sick. These kids give me hope for the future. I have a 6 ya old daughter who knows to stand and render honors. Well done Mom and Dad. You have taught your kids right

as a military kid growing upwhen on camp pendleton we did the same thing.. I have much respect for the military. and this is awesome

This does my heart good. All those years in the Army while on base/post, be it driving, walking or whatever, revielle or taps started playing you stopped what you were doing, got out of your car, faced the music or flag if in sight and saluted if in uniform or hand over heart if not, both soldiers and civilians. So glad to see service kids doing this unprompted by adults

I recall years ago, living in a little house near Mount Olivet Cemetery, and hearing the Twenty-one Gun Salute as well as "Taps", during a military funeral. I'd be standing there, doing the dishes, and be filled with quiet awe, and then tears. Tears of grief, joy, and an overwhelming rush of gratitude.

The girl in the yellow dress yelling “colors!!” That’s a little warrior.

When I hear people say they “run indoors” to avoid saluting colors, I try and understand really why one would do this. If you were in a dangerous situation where you would have died, but a person stood in front of you and willingly gave their life for you, what is your idea of saying “thank you?” Is it sending a card to the family? Is it attending the funeral to throw a rose? Is it lighting a candle once a year? What is your life really worth? Can you spend a few minutes a day to reflect that someone gave their life for you to enjoy your daily freedom and time with your family? That is what “To The Colors” and “Reveilee” or “Retreat” are. These are daily reminders and courtesies to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, their lives, for us. Maybe you can take a minute to reflect on this honor.

Beautiful show of respect. Some "Americans" can learn a thing or two from these amazing kids. RESPECT

I think this is awesome. These children are a credit to their parents. To the negative posters, I not only point out that they are on a USMC base, but at least one of their parent's are enlisted and stationed there.

Civilians, dependents, etc. don't have to do anything but it's considered respectful to stop what you're doing if you're outside and wait until the bugle ends to continue. So, military wives will pull off to the side of the road, and kids will stop playing on the playground for the 30 seconds or so that the bugle plays. It's not brainwashing, and it's not Hitler youth. Respect for the flag has nothing to do with respect for the president, their office, or the government. It doesn't even have anything to do with respect for the military.

To the parents of these kids, thank you for teaching your children about respecting things more important than one's self. to the children themselves, may God bless you: you are the future of our Country, and I feel it will be in good hands!

Saddening this video has ANY dislikes... These people must have a red stripe running across their backs.

+Sergio Alvarez You, like many others posting on this video, are a bunch of sorry ass simple-minded, military and government worshipping half-wits. Went to government run schools, didn't ya? Was Iraq gonna invade the USA and turn us into a bunch of Islamists? How 'bout Iran? Is Iran gonna invade the US and turn us into some tyrannical Sharia law run theocracy? There's nobody in the middle east that threatens any of the rights protected by the US Constitution other than our own US Government and it's order followers..ie...the military and police. Now go do your damn homework you ignorant, ill-informed and outright stupid-ass faktriot (fake patriot).

@@BloodTar and you are a p.o.s liberal that probably thinks Pelosi is serving the American people by wasting taxpayer money on a personal vendetta. I'll bet you whined and cried when the US actually got a decent president that Cared about US citizens(yes Mr. Donald Trump) instead of Illegal immigrants. Oh how angry you are that there are still Americans that care about America bet you just hate that don't you. Yeah I have seen your crap KZread page with its Natural Selection blah blah blah...hopefully it chooses to select trash like you out of the gene pool

The bugle call heard in the video is called Retreat. at an Army post it is played just prior to the colors coming down at the end of the duty day (Retreat). there is normally a short pause, a couple seconds, and a defiant cannon is fired using a blank round signaling Retreat which at that time the bugle call To The Colors is played. Normally when Retreat is played everyone stops what they are doing if outside and face the garrison flag pole. People in vehicles pull over, stop and should exit their vehicles and also face the garrison flag pole, soldiers assume the position of parade rest. at the sound of the cannon, military personnel come to the position of attention and present arms and civilians should place their right hand over heart until To The Colors has finished playing and the flag is slowly lowered down and in the hands of the flag detail. At Reveille in the morning, the same thing happens except prior to Reveille (about 30 min prior) the first bugle call is First Call then a another cannon shot then Reveille is played and the flag is quickly ran up the flag pole. Taps is the last bugle call of the day and plays usually at 2200 in the evening. On old cavalry posts Like Ft Sam Houston Texas, there are several other bugle calls throughout the day that had other meanings back in the day but are now done in honor of Army tradition.

I remember this well. Not all the bases we lived on did this. But as an adult now I wish they would have.

Love this so much. Thank you for posting it.

Love the children of our military men and women! AWESOME!!!!!

Mad respect for these kids! Semper Fidelis. Unlike the c-unt in the Army on Instagram that was proud to jump in her car so she would not have to salute the flag.

The few. The Proud. Semper Fi

I also love how at the very moment "Carry On" is sounded, they are playing and bouncing around again.

I found this from a link on Sgt. Grit. All those kids did a GREAT job. Thanks to who ever filmed this and for posting it. Put a smile on my ugly mug. Thanks also to the parents of these young people for teaching them respect.

this is the real hope and change that will save this country.

I can relate to that.

Reminded me of growing up on the Air Force bases in the 70’s thru the 80’s

One of my MOST proudest moments of being a human being. Semper Fi. And by the way parents, you did one hell of a job raising them to understand RESPECT for our country, our flag, our way of live. Many blessings to all. Captain T, U.S.M.C.

AWESOME!!!!!!

This is beautiful. Thank you.

I saw this video tonight on Hardball. I was very moved. Thanks for sharing it.

I grew up Army brat and we did the same thing. It's not cultish or anything. Everyone has a routine whether you're militairy, civilian, christian muslim, agnostic. It becomes second nature like not even thinking about brushing your teeth you just do it. This is a symbol of respect. It's not a "piece of fabric flapping in the breeze" it's honoring what the flag stands for and honoring those who fight to protect it. And if you can't see the value in that as an American citizen then go back to your life and continue to do what you do, and the brave men and women protecting our nation will continue to fight for your freedoms regardless of your ignorance. S/N: The blonde girl with the blue shirt was CLASSIC there towards the end inching towards the swing make sure she gets it haha! I remember doing stuff like that.

That makes me proud to be a US citizen!!!!!!

I found this to be truly uplifting. Then I started reading the comments. What a shame. It is hard to believe that so many would stand with those that do harm and disrespect a few little kids for showing respect and love. This is what has come of a country that has been taken over by a fatherless society. Thank you for sharing Mrs Davila. Be assured not all is lost. I grew up fatherless and still managed to grow up with the knowledge of what it is like to respect others. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much. I know that's true. A lot of people on here don't get it, or read so much into it, or form their own assumptions. I'd go crazy if I read every comment, but seeing ones like yours make me happy. ❤️

Thank you for this video. It's good to see there is still a remnant of a generation that understands the concept of reverence and respect. Thank you, Sir, for your service, and good luck to you and your family as you move into your new lives!

201 Millennials were completely confused by this video.

Beautiful. Unforgettable. I wish you kids great things.

Thank you for sharing this. It is further evidence that we teach our children by example as much as we do by talking to them. You should be so proud of your children and their friends. They are indeed what makes America Great.
