Teen who dreamed of being a soldier holds back emotion as proud dad patches him 🇺🇸

A teenager who always dreamed of being a soldier has gone viral after his father shared a video of his son holding back tears of pride during his patching ceremony. Jordan Polito asked his dad Kenneth to do the honor of patching him during his graduation from training to become a soldier in the United States Army. In the wholesome footage, Kenneth can be seen walking towards his son as he stands to attention with his fellow graduates. Then, as Kenneth places the patch on his son's arm, Jordan can be seen visibly moved, choking up and fighting back tears as his father places the patch on his arm. The moment took place on September 2, after Jordan completed his basic training at Fort Benning in Georgia. According to Kenneth, the family thought Jordan might pursue a baseball scholarship because of his talents in the sport, but Jordan had always dreamed of enlisting into the U.S. Army.

    Yeah become another rapist psycho in another foreign war that's what happened to PFC #lavenaJohnson the military said it was suicide yeah two shots in the back of my head and a contractor's tent she had only been in Iraq for 2 weeks of course they still can't explain why that she cut out her vagina import bleach all over the genital area man that's a hell of a way to commit suicide no the bleach was to come up any trace of sperm. YEAH I FORGOT THE LAST PART SHE WAS SET ON FIRE IN A F****** CLOTH TENT THAT BELONGED TO A CONTRACTOR WOW WHAT A HELL OF A WAY TO GO. Funeral was a closed casket funeral until the family said this don't sit right and they had her body dug up in an independent forensic specialist said I'm sorry to inform you but it's not an ordinary suicide in the case is closed for the FBI in the army CID is concerned

He inspired & motivated me to go through RASP. When I was nervous about rasp he told me if I give 100% pass or fail, that I will be a success in my career. I’m beyond thankful for him

    I can feel all the emotions and pain for the soldiers that were not patched by “anyone”. Nothing more depressing then watching everyone you train with get patched by their fathers, mothers, wives, brothers, friends, while you stand at attention, watching from your own personal hell from the corner of your eye. Some of these soldiers family may have had a reason, but most come to the realization that after hopping on that bus to their duty station, it will be just them and them alone from here out. If you ever go to a ceremony, and see a soldier not pinned or patched by anyone, please take the time to honor him and pin him yourself, it will stay in his memory forever like it did mine.

He stood there and never broke formation but you could see in the video there were tears on his face. A random stranger came and tapped him out then hugged him and the soldier was so happy. All the stranger said was: "You are loved. Thank you for your service." We need more people like that in this world.❤❤

    Big day for both of them. I know exactly how they feel, especially the son. Unless there’s an active campaign (which there currently isn’t) then he hasn’t joined to *learn* to kill* - the Armed Forces offer *far* more than that. I didn’t join UK REME in 1989 to learn how to kill Iraqi *Human* soldiers more than two years later! Read up about *The United Nations* and then NATO maybe; both of you are completely ignorant - why not learn first; the amount of verbal diarrhoea you spout is incredible 🤔

    That young soldier and his Dad will never forget this day! Holding that in will be the hardest thing he does for years!

    Aaa yo llore En una parte es felicidad Y en otra es triste Por que ellos an elegido dar su vida por la patria mis respetos para estos jovencitos Y los admiro por su valentía 😢 Que dios los acompañe los cuide y no los abandone donde quiera que estén Admiro su valentía dios lo bendiga

    A very touching moment for a warrior. We didn't have this special tradition back in the 80s. We walked off the field headed to AIT the next day.😮
