Semper Fi ! Once a marine, I was a marine. When one falls he he goes to regroup with his brothers. His brothers that are still here regroup with his son. Got a love it!

I'm a Marine 76-81. Not surprising to me😊
Pops called on his Platoon from Heaven and they responded...GOD Bless your Family, The Corps and our United States of America.
THIS right here, this is brotherhood. It didn't matter that they possibly hadn't seen each other in 15-20 years, those men were his brothers, and now their are his son's brothers. Semper Fi Marines o7

I make a point to see at least one of my boys every year in person (have exceeded that goal every time). Phones have made it easy for my generation; I always think about how tough that must have been for the Marines who came before. I can't imagine going through WW1, WW2, or Vietnam with someone then losing contact as life takes its turns.
Marines are Marines. No question.
Can we just take a moment to say, thank you to his sister! You made this happen awesome job sis!

Sis is strong too. Coordinating all that to support and surprise her brother is incredibly kind
Military personnel and their families are a special breed. God bless them all.
Your dad was there. He lives on in you and your brother. Do him proud! May you find comfort.
Your dad will always be there for you. He is so proud of you. Semper fi
Take what you've been given and do more. Godspeed Marine.
I stand and SALUTE your father!! I'm a Veteran myself...congratulations to the young Marine.
Semper Fi. Once a Marine always a Marine. Always and forever, a true band of brothers! Oorah. This touched me..... So sorry for your loss. And what an honorable thing your brother did, finishing his training for your Dad. What a great young man
A big thank you to all those Marines and a big Semper fi.
Sorry for your loss. As soldiers, all we think about when doing work is family. There's nothing better than family. As you can see from the video. He had 4 uncles, making sure that he was supported. You become family when you serve together, and it goes well beyond the military. Congrats....I'll bet you'll make one hellava marine🫡

I have always admired true patriots,no matter their nationality,and a proof of that are US Marines...hats off !!🇨🇱🇺🇲
Semper fi, brother and a "well done!" to your son. From an old retired Marine.
Once a Marine always a Marine. 💪
Welcome to the Corps. Marines have this thing about our fellow Marines and you saw proof of that at your graduation at MCRD San Diego. Semper Fi brother, platoon 155, A Company, 1st Battalion, Recruit Training Regiment, on the yellow footprints, 29 June 1964. 4 months and 6 days to my 60th anniversary.
No bond on earth is stronger than that of Marines
Great job platoon brothers!
Nice! Now that's how it's done. RIP in peace good sir.
That’s what Semper Fidelis really means!! USMC Alumni.. Class of 1995
USMC graduation at MCRD is iconic! So glad your brother got to meet some of his older Marine brothers.😅 So sorry your dad wasn't able to be there in person. God bless you and your family.
As a Dad of a Marine, I'm at a loss for words.

Welcome to the gun club Marine. And to your Dad rest easy brother.
oorah my Marine Corps (MCRD Nov 1983) . Glad to hear it took weight off your shoulder.
About 50 years ago I went to a Navy Aviation School. About 1/3 of the class were Marines and the camaraderie between them was on a higher level than the sailors. I used to run 3 miles by myself on Saturdays for fun and sometimes would pass them as they ran in their group as they were required to do it. They invited me to run with them after seeing me a few weeks by myself. They called me their Swabby Brother.
Once a Marine, Always a Marine. Much respect.thanks again 🙏👍🇺🇸
Semper Fi brothers. 🇺🇸 🦅
Reinforces the motto of Semper Fidelis.
So sad for your loss. You made your dad very proud. I'm a vet, and you keep kickin' ass marine.
This story is so Amazing. For Love a Follow Marine, and a New Marine THE SARGE
Special brotherhood
This is beautiful 💖💖💖 God bless your family 🙏🙏🙏 THANK ALL TROOPS FOR THEIR SERVICE! 💖🙏🙏🙏💖
That was so touch my heart's goes out to the family 😢🙏🕊️
This made me cry💗absolutely a great story
We take care of our own
Rest in heaven Devil. This was heartbreaking and at the same time heartwarming. I wish nothing but happiness, blessings and prosperity to this young Marine that has taken up the call to defend and protect us. My condolences to the family of this Marine. Gone but not forgotten
This ... the coming together .... WONDERFUL!
F'n A! Semper Fi! I love being a Marine.
If this doesn't bring tears to your eyes nothing will. God bless these men for showing up. They honorably served in the Marines, but showing up for this young man is honor personified.
Semper Fi rest easy Marine you know your platoon made sure they had your back!
No such thing as a "former Marine" or a "former Ranger" Sua Sponte
Condolences to the family and friends. May Jacob's father rest in peace, honor and perpetual light shine upon him forever. In the name of the Father son and holy spirit Amen.🇺🇸✝️
SEMPER FI to your dad, brother and family. Today, March 8 is my Birthday and in 2 days will be the on year anniversary of my dad passing away. I can say that my graduation from Marine Corps bootcamp was my proudest moment and my dad’s proudest moment of me. My heart aches for your loss
GOD gave us a back 🦴 to carry weight, not to turn it on each other. Glad to know they came when it was needed most without having been called. Those were real Marines. GOD bless the Marines.
That was an amazing show of support! My dad was an Army Huey pilot who was KIA in Vietnam when I was 6 years old and I joined the Air Force at 17 years old. I wish my dad could have been at my graduations from school and basic training.
Thanks u for the services of ur dad and ur brother.
Respect, honor! Semper fi!🇺🇸
YOUR DAD & HIS FRIENDS CELEBRATED WITH YOU..HE WAS THERE YOU JUST DIDN'T SEE HIM..I'M SURE VERY PROUD..
His Dad's platoon buddies did an amazing thing for Jake and his family. They are very special men indeed. Thanks to Jake, his Dad, and his buddies for their service.
Marines stand as 1, a fallen brother, no matter how he falls Will never be forgotten ❤️ Thank you to all our service members and their families who sacrifice everything 🙏
Marines are hard core in every way 🫡

As my family prepares for losing our last Vietnam Vet, I want to say thank you. Thank you to his biker-Veteran friends who have stood by him, supported him and continue to support us. Thank you to all Veterans, service members and first responders. Thank you to my fierce, tougher than nails cousin, Johnny. As you protected and served us all, we will now protect and support your beautiful wife, your son, and your grandchildren. We will follow all of your wishes and lay you to rest by our own family tradition.
My husband walked the footsteps and went through bootcamp at MCRD San Diego. Semper Fi young Marine. I'm sure your daddy is so proud of you.
I come from a Marine Corps family,this just made me weep,what an incredible honor for this Marine ….SEMOER FI DO OR DIE 👍👍👍👍
The Marines' camaraderie always transcends death - once a Marine, always a Marine... Semper Fi my Brothers in Arms
Once a alwsys a Marine always a Marine and always Brothers
Say what you will, the stories of how unbreakable that Marine bond is are astounding.
Those men, stood, for their mate, to honor his sons service, because, that's whats right...
Hard to believe I graduated from those yellow footprints just 4 years after his dad did in 1998. 25 years ago. Seems like yesterday. God Bless you all and your family.
My respect for your family your brother and every USMC
"We few... we happy, happy few. We band of brothers... For he that sheds his blood with me this day shall be my brother, be he ne'er so vile. This day shall gentle his condition. And gentlemen now abed in England today shall think themselves accursed they were not here. And they shall hold their manhood cheap, whilst any speaks that fought with us upon this St. Crispin's Day!" -- Wm. Shakespeare, 'Henry V' Act IV, Scene III I hope the entire Enderle family will accept the regrets and condolences of an old US Army cavalryman. A respectful tip of the Stetson on your loss. And Jake, some advice: 1. Head on swivel. Stay alert and stay alive. 2. Listen to your NCOs. They know shit. 3. And don't get married until you hit E6. Trust me on that one... 😉
This literally brought a tear to my eye. I know as a Dad how proud I was when my son SGT Matt finished boot camp. One of the most impressive things I've ever seen. Semper Fi!, son.
For sure RIP JarHead!!! Nothing speaks more volumes than a platoon of Devil Dawgs rallying for the newest member! Ooorah soldier!
His brother In arms are now his son’s brothers
*Honesty helps people go further!*
His high school graduation picture sent chills down my spine. I graduated at that same place
Awesome story. Thanks for sharing.
My husband did his stint in the Marines starting in his late teens. He was 58 when he, also, died of pancreatic cancer and I made sure the Eagle, Globe & Anchor was engraved on his headstone. Once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fi.
Thank you for your Service!❤
The brotherhood of service members is very strong.
Wonderful thing for them to do❤❤❤
Awesome job, sister!!
👏 nothing but class
RIP Brother. God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Semper Fidelis!

Rest in Peace, Brother. See you at the Final formation. Semper Fi.
My father's father died while my dad was in USMC boot camp in 1943. When my dad passed away in the 90s, guys who served in the Marines with my dad in the Pacific came to his viewing and funeral to share with me what an amazing guy my dad was, what a great buddy, a great Marine who risked his life for his brothers in the Corps though he was only 18 at the time. It meant so much to me. Once a Marine, always a Marine. I know my dad was smiling down and that it meant a lot to him, too. Semper Fi dad. ❤
Prayers for you and your family! I am so sorry for your loss! Thank you for your service for your dad, your brother and to all of the men and women in the military!
God bless them for doing that.
No Marine left behind even when their gone from this world, True brotherhood! thank you to the Marines, Army, Navy, Airforce, Coast guard and Space Force! you are all Heroes!
So thankful for his platoon mates stepping up. R.I.P. DEVIL DOG and to his son, stay strong Marine.
Semper Fi. Class of 1978. Rip
Im crying! But happy❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's beautiful! R.I.P
Wow! Congratulations! I feel your DAd was there with your brother and family. RIP, Marine.
