    Sgt. Fisher and Lt. Fisher, it’s with deepest gratitude that I thank you for your service. Lieutenant Fisher, congratulations on your new position. This is awesome. I love the son following his father’s example and he himself being an example to so many.

    It’s a moment that can bring grown men to tears. You can see LT Fisher holding it back knowing he has to keep his military bearing as the superior officer. He’s been raised well.

    seeing how the young lad was breathing from his chest, i could probably say he was doing his best to hold back his emotion when his father was talking, congratulating and giving the salute. so happy for them even if i don't know them and i don't really weep or feel for those i don't know. kudos sirs and take care!

    @alfrezz000 3 роки тому +28

    Its bigger than a military father and son bond. Its the simple fact that a father is in his sons life and even more, raised him to be a MAN. A very essential yet forgotten relationship in america today...

    • @flying_salt

      Exactly. It's so rare these days to see a father be present in the life of their child. So sad.

    First and foremost, Thank the both of you for your service and sacrifice. Secondly, here is an example of a Father’s influence on his son and finally I in all my humility extend the recognition to all of the Fathers who are living up to their responsibilities and some that do not receive the recognition they deserve…Never stop nor underestimate the gifts you give to your children..just saying

Great story that deserves more news coverage from the media rather than always doom & gloom. That put us against each other. I wait for the moment to share similar time with my son any any capacity!!!!

    • @mariolis
      @mariolis Рік тому

      ​@@mwangimungure8341Its when you become an officer
      That man's father was a non-commissioned officer (a rank one can achieve after enlisting)
      but to be an officer you have to be comissioned (and it requires a college degree , while on the other hand , almost anyone can enlist)
      the highest possible rank of an enlisted/NCO is always lower than the lowest rank of a commissioned officer
      that is why when the father saluted his son, he called him "sir" , because now , his son outranked him
