May God Bless and Keep Him Always 🙏
Bravo Brave American Hero!
This young man is a class act
Trump has demeaned the Medal of Honor, claiming it is inferior to the Medal of Freedom which he had awarded to one of his billionaire donors. He desecrated the Arlington National Cemetery, the nation's most sacred ground to film a campaign as despite being told it was against Federal law. These are yet further r proof of the disdain in which Trump holds the US Military, it's veterans and it's sacred dead. He is totally unfit to be Commander-in-Chief. Vote Blue on Nov 5
OUR GREATEST GENERATION 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
🇺🇲🪖😔
Then Biden runs away getting more service people killed and leaving behind millions of dollars in equipment.
Talk about a true soldier 🪖 he did what any American was would do he adapted improvise and overcomed adversity to go above and beyond for Honor for the Love of the motherland but most of all cuz he was a soldier of great integrity❤ love all our veterans fallen and serving
Good man, salute and respect to you, Sir, rest easy. ,and a sincere Thankyou for your service.
My neighbors are Plumlee's.I wonder if he is related?Never heard the name beyond Tennessee.
Yep… this is our veterans… good to see President Obama didn’t shy away & just tried to forget.
Semper Fi brother!
As a young PO3 coming on active duty, I was assigned to Transit Barracks, Naval Station Charleston, SC. BM1 Williams was the Master-at-Arms (MAA) of three barracks. I was the MAA of one of the barracks and fortunately, was the one, Willie Williams liked to hang out in. I learned a lot about leadership from him and he used to take me bass fishing on his boat on the weekends. He was a great guy and was very reticent about being "put-up" for the MOH. After receiving it, he was meritoriously promoted to Chief Boatswains Mate. He really deserved it. RIP, Boats Williams!
I love hearing more about heroes like him, beyond what you read on paper. Its great that he was a standup guy that influenced you like he did. Also, thank you for your service!
To his family… thank you for supporting your son to become such a beautiful man who loved his country so much… that he offered his life for his love of God and Country. And now God is keeping him safe beside Him in the Kingdom of Heaven..😮
Semper Fi❤
RIP, thanks you for your service, and sacrifice!
The best of the best who sacrificed his life to save another. The ultimate act of bravery and love.❤️💔🙏🏾🙏🏼🇺🇸
We were lucky to have such a hero. Glad he was on our side. Admiration to this man.
God bless the Lance Corporal! He is a fine Marine!
Greater. love has no one than this to lay down ones life for his friends. You didn't make the ultimate sacrifice, but I know you would have if it had been ask of you.
American Hero
Look into the eyes of the man on the front line and you will understand the love for America America will always remain the home of the brave brave
"Thank You" for FREEDOM, Sir!
❤❤❤❤❤LEGEND
May the good Lord Bless you & keep you!
I wonder whatever happened to the Afghan National guard squad? Wonder how they're doing these days. I know the Biden administration gave the Taliban a list of all those people that were helping us during the Afghanistan war. Just to make sure that their Life didn't get any more difficult after we pulled out.
May God Bless and Keep Him Always 🙏 SEMPER FI MARINE !!
Much respect
❤️
God bless you😊❤
Now I’m wondering. You finally rotate home and ETS. You’re the new guy on the block. How do you explain that line around your chin that isn’t tanned?
🇺🇸🇺🇸Kyle Carpenter🇺🇸🇺🇸American🙏
Thank you for your service!
