A veteran grandfather battling severe illness insisted on rising from his bed and standing to welcome his Navy grandson home before sharing an emotional hug. Deshawn Liptrap, from Killeen, Texas, left for boot camp with the United States Navy in November 2023, and had been desperate to travel home to visit his sick grandpa, James, 75, a Vietnam veteran. James was diagnosed with cancer and Deshawn, having spent months in boot camp and then A School, was presented with a chance to return home after graduation, on May 2. Deshawn, 18, opted to head back to Texas right away, where he walked into his family home and surprised his grandpa, who was lying in bed. Upon seeing his grandson, a proud James made his way to the edge of his bed, before insisting on standing under his own strength. He and Deshawn then shared an emotional hug, which Deshawn felt extremely proud of, as during his time with the Navy he had dreamed of making his grandpa proud and seeing him one last time. Deshawn also paid surprise visits to his brother Damarion and grandma Woong, capturing all three moments on video. Having returned to base in Florida two weeks later, Deshawn was then given the sad news that, on May 30, James had passed away. By sharing the video of his grandpa's strength on social media, Deshawn hopes to inspire others and to honor his late grandpa.

Did anyone not hear Grandpa James give grandson a SOLID pat on the back. The body is frail but human spirit is strong!!
Agreed!! Vietnam vets are legitimately strong in mind and body!!
That back slap had ALL pride in it straight from grandpa’s heart!!😘👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽❤️
You can say that again! 👏🏾
Preach!
Hell yes blood my gramps had that WW2 strength even in his older age.@@erikspencer2396
When Grandpa stood up to hug & show him respect, I started crying like a baby. Glad he made it to see him. God bless both❤❤❤❤❤
Me too!! ❤
@@kimolson5729me too!
Me to 😢😢😢😢
Me too!! 😢😢😢😢
Cried so hard...
Man y'all got me. I think there's some dust in the air or someone is chopping onions.
Thank you for your service.
❤❤❤❤❤
Fucking onion cutting ninjas fucking everywhere.
thank you for allowing us to be a part of that beautiful moment between your family.
I cannot stop crying. Thank you both for serving.
Omg i cant stop crying this is beautiful peace love and blessings
Same!! 😭😭
Me either 😢😢😢
Me too!🙏🏽💜💛
I am LOUDLY wholeheartedly ugly crying 😭😭😭 I'm an Army Veteran myself and know what those reunions, TO EVEN JUST A HEALTHY PERSON, truly mean . . . I'm so glad I joined when I was young, STILL SO NAIVE, and just dumb and the fear of true and/OR FINAL consequence hadn't kicked in yet?? Every bit of my soul feels this🤍🩶🖤
I lost my Mother shortly after leaving the service AND I COULD NOT IMAGINE HER BEING ILL WHILE STATIONED OVERSEAS OR DEPLOYED!!! No one should have to experience walking in on their loved one in this state ESPECIALLY if when you left them they were healthy, just loving living life . . . It's a physical pain that is so far beyond being able to be explained??
That last hug will follow that young man for the rest of his life! His grandfather needed that hug!! More than his grandson knows!! ❤❤ thank you for your service Sir!! Both of you!!
As a NAVY VETERAN myself from Desert Storm...Thank you both, because you understand what self sacrifice is and has been or will be in those emotional trenches to serve our country 🙏
Amen. Thank you for your service Sir. 🇺🇲🖤🙏 God speed to recovery or you get your gilded wings. 🖤
He witnessed a champion that day and the Grandpa got to see a champion in the making.
@@tyrenace6597 🙏
Nah they both needed that hug 😊
Man damn I miss my grandfather. My grandparents raised me and he treated me just like one of his own sons. Having supportive and caring grandparents is a great gift in life
I too was raised by my Grandparents. My Grandpa was a WWII Vet and i was so proud of him. My Grandmother was an Angel, and i miss them so much it hurts. They were so proud when i came home from Boot camp, my Grandpa and Grandma couldn't quit hugging me. First thing was, he took me down to the American Legion and then the Vets club for a shot and a beer. Can't wait to see them again.
My mother passed away when I was three years old. I’m 56 now. My father wasn’t in the best state of mind to raise me so my maternal grandparents raised me. They have since passed away and I miss them dearly because they were awesome grandparents to me and I am the woman I am today because of my grandparents. God bless them!
BTW, my grandfather was also a Vet.
Amen!!
Ah yeah I never had that gift. My grand father died obese. I only have one existing negative emotion memory of him, where he threatened to whoop me when I didn't stop throwing dirt at my sister, and I cried, full of rage, but I forgive him , he did more good than bad, I hold good memories of him than say evil ones. He didnt die how I wished, he died obese and ate himself to death to where when my grandmother was. Very lacking in love he simply had aneurysm, and 2 years later died on 2023 October.
He's probably been holding on to life to see him graduate Camp. Thank you and God Bless you both forever and beyond.
And please may both of you come to accept Christ's love and salvation through your belief and trust in Christ of what Christ did for you and everyone by being your sacrifice for your sins by allowing all the sins of people from past,present,future come upon Him so when we die and leave this world we would be with Christ forever in heaven. Otherwise when we die without Christ in our heart we would go to a unholy place,,Hell forever .
I’m so happy he made it in time. That last hug will be with Deshaun forever!
Yes
What a precious moment..❤❤❤
Yes he is.
i was gonna comment but you did it for me
What a sweet grandpa you can tell he really loves his grandson ❤️✝️
This is America! The best of his generation y’all! Grandpa loves this young patriot! Pray for his safety, as he serves a grateful Nation!❤
Made me cry . This man is vetran. We need to stand up in his presence.
What wonderful moment this was great thing for both❤❤❤god bless both❤😮
Made me tear up. God bless you both.
This is a grandpa that takes great pride in his grandson and left him with one last precious memory to be etched in his heart forever and a day... Bittersweet
Absolutely a standing of respect for this veteran ❤
This touched my heart
Respect.
💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
why? what did he do for american people? I am curious to know where your nationalism comes from, especially as a person of color. 😂😂😂
I really want to know what this country's military has done for folks who look like u and me. (and don't give me "college grants" 😂😂😂😂)
@@cheolacarnitas2682 boo hoo go cry
@@cheolacarnitas2682POS 🙄
@@cheolacarnitas2682 Who do you think helps during natural disasters and uncontrollable riots? Unlike people in other countries, do you have to worry about what another country is trying to do to you? No? Doubt you even think about it like it could happen any second. Why do you think that is? Be grateful you're not living in a warzone like in the middle east or Ukraine or Palestine & Israel...bombs, nukes & missiles being dropped don't gaf what color you are.
I'm not crying, just have allergies. What a special moment for Grandpa James and Grandson DeShawn.
This son and grandpa are the most honorable veterans in my opinion👍❤️
You know that grandpa could die in peace after that moment.
Jesus Christ loves you so much. Please repent to him. He is the way the truth and the life and the only way to eternal salvation and heaven. He can help you with everything you need help with.

So emotional and touching ❤. I cried like a baby. Bless this family 🙏💞
It's the I love you so much that gome😢😢
This just brought
back a flood of memories and tears. When I was overseas serving my first demployment I received word
that my grandmother was very ill and they did not know how long she had left to live. I never gave up hope that somehow I would be back to see her before she passed. I made it home as soon as I could after I arrived back to the states from my deployment. She was resting in an oversized recliner when I walked in the door and I knelt down beside her to give her a big hug, she looked at me and she said,,, sweetheart, I'm going to stand to hug my boy. I was able to spend the night with her and the next day I had to hop back on a plane to get back to my duty station. She passed away nine days later. Her hugs and her kisses and the time that I was able to spend with her got me through a lot of rough shit overseas. Oh, how I miss you so My Sweet Grandma ❣️
Oh wow, this one really got me. I’m absolutely sobbing- thank you both for your service. You & your family’s sacrifices are recognised and greatly appreciated 🫡❤️
This wasn't just a loving Grandpa, this was a Veteran turning over watch! Bless both! 🙏🕊️
As a veteran myself, I salute them both! Thank y’all for your SERVICE!!! ❤❤❤
You just made these tears run on overtime 😭😭
Thank you BOTH for your service. May your grandfather rest in peace.
He will. How sweet my God is...
This made me cry😢😊
❤️❤️❤️
Thank yall for Yall services
This brought tears to my eyes 😢. Coming from someone who worked 40 years at the VA Medical Center Hospital. Now retired. This touched my heart so much. I thank you both for your service. God bless you Grandpa ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for your years of service to our veterans
Ok, that was awesome! :) As a VSO, I've seen some veterans neglected by their families, but I have seen other veterans lovingly shown compassion and mercy, to give life even in the bleakest of these circumstances. I have met Veterans with only a few short years to live and their wives standing side by side with them. I have seen veterans fathers with their daughters giving up everything so that they can take care of their loved one. It blesses me when I get to meet these men and women who served our country and the families who serve them with Christ like mercy and compassion and through the toughest of times!
NOTHING sweeter … than a hug from Grandpa!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
This breaks my heart but is truly BEAUTIFUL!💔
Ok I'm thourohly in tears. God watch over this grandpa as he comes home to you and watch over his grandson as he is protecting America ❤
Watery eyes. Thanks for sharing. God bless you, Grandpa..... Congrats, DeShawn.
Yes , there are still some “wonderful young people in this country “ doing the unselfish , giving back young people in our USA ,, but who was raised to respect & love their elders !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
He stood to honour a soldier.
Sailor
He’s a sailor, not a soldier. Only the army has “soldiers.” Never call a sailor or a marine a soldier to their face, unless you want a thorough chewing out. Army=soldier, Navy=Sailor, Marines=Marine, Air Force=Airman. If you can’t remember them, or if you don’t know what branch someone is in, it’s probably best to just call them a serviceman. It’s like calling a state trooper “officer” sometimes they get all bent out of shape, if you don’t call them trooper.
@@CivilizedWarrior relax

OMG! Now, I'm crying like a baby this morning! How beautiful!!! God Bless!!
That is so very special indeed. One last hug to last for eternity. God bless!
When I enlisted, my Father already had advanced Huntington's Chorea, and was in a Nursing home completely bedridden, unable to speak..
I finished Air Force Boot and the Security Forces Academy, Security Police in my day. and came home on my first Leave, Dad a Korean Era Veteran, Army, occupation duty in Austria.. I stepped into his room as he just stared at me.
I walked over to him and placed my folded Beret in his Hand with a "I love you Dad"
He gave me the biggest smile I've sever seen, and I hugged him tight.. The last time I ever communicated with him before he passed away.. he slipped into a coma like state shortly after,
It still breaks my heart that I managed to make him so happy and proud at our last meeting together..
I miss you Dad, you were always my first hero.. and still are..
@@markedwards6455 beautiful

That is a terrible disease. I'm sorry for your loss. America thanks you both for your courageous and dedicated service.
God bless you❤
This was such a gift to each other. Letting him know all that you accomplished so far and a great big smile of pride from him in return. It’s all so bittersweet. You will always miss your Dad. I’m 68 and I still miss mine. Your Dad is in your heart and he is in that smile that will never leave you. Hugs
❤❤❤
That boy is the pride and joy of his life. This is so beautiful.
Yes!!! He physically reacted to seeing him. So much love and pride. ❤❤❤😊
That’s a man
Just shows that the young man was proud to follow his grandfather how much he loved him
I bet over the years that hug will mean more and more to the grandson.
Made this Army tough guy shed a tear.
What a loving reunion!

That last visit sent that man home with love and joy in his heart.
Thank you both for your service ♥️
Yes indeed ❤
SO SORRY FOR YOUR Grandpa. Bless you son! I'm thankful for you service 😊
The way he jumped when he realized who was standing there made me burst into tears, he was waiting in his precious grandson ❤❤❤❤❤
This warmed my heart. I couldn't hold back the tears when he stood to get a full hug from his grandson. The pride and love is beyond evident ❤
This had me in tears. When my wonderful Granddad Gerry was dying of cancer I was in hospital myself with a bad kidney infection (I have a lot of health problems) & my Dr's wouldn't let me discharge myself to make the 6 hour journey with my parents to go & say goodbye to him. I was heartbroken- spent the whole weekend calling my Nan & Auntie trying to get to speak to my Granddad. He finally called me & although we were only able to speak for a few minutes as he was very unwell he was just as cheerful & loving as he always was. He told me he loved me when he said goodbye & I just knew it was the last time I was ever going to speak to him. An hour later he died & the whole family was devastated. I treasure the photos of our last family Christmas just a few weeks before he died to see how happy & smiling he was during the surprise 7 course Christmas dinner me & my ex took the whole family out for on Christmas day. My Granddad never been out for lunch on Christmas day so me & my ex chose this beautiful hotel & took the whole family out rather than having Christmas dinner at home, with my Granddad obviously sitting at the head of the table & although I planned to sit between my ex & my Dad at the other end, my Granddad insisted I sit next to him & we spent the whole meal laughing & joking. It's an amazing memory- one I'll never forget. But I miss you so much Granddad Gerry 🕊️
This is to your grandfather. Just tell him there are a lot of Canadian soldiers like myself who thank him for serving. And I thank you for following in his footsteps. This is a beautiful story
Heartwarming reunion...may God bless them all❤
Similar story. My mother’s father was a Korean War Vet and I enlisted. He also had cancer and I got to see him after graduating a week before he passed away. He was proud. Glad this young man got to do this for his Grandfather. Welcome in brother! You have the watch now.
I may be a rando on the interwebs but wanted to say I'm proud of you for making sure to see your grandpa before he passed.
And thankful and proud of you for your service, too.
Jesus Christ loves you so much. Please repent to him. He is the way the truth and the life and the only way to eternal salvation and heaven. He can help you with everything you need help with.
God be with you & your family, thx for your sacrifice through service and all its many woes. Love & peace to your grandfather.
The hug was one that neither of them wanted to end, much love to their family
Sir and grandson, thank you for your service. I was rejected after 9/11 so I have so much love for people who serve our wonderful country.
Thank you 🙏🏽
The sound of happiness coming from the grandfather broke me. Thank you both for your service!
Best on the net today 😢🫡😎
A strong loving hug and emotional support of strength . God is always there to see a miracle one last time
A family of Love
I really wish I'd have had a family to experience moments like these. That hug was so filled with love. The pride and unbreakable bond is palpable. Absolutely beautiful family. I'm so glad they have each other.
I could not watch all. I was crying, thinking of my own dad. Grandpa you are a hero. thanks for your service. I pray for a miracle.

My daddy was a vet who caught cancer from agent orange in Vietnam....in 2003 my daddy had radiation but it came back in 2012, my daddy passed 11 days after my bday in 2018 on 4/10, then my daddy older brother passed from the same a year later ... There isnt a day i dont think of my daddy , he passed when he was 72 at home with the family he created...but he waited until my mommy came back from the store after i walked out the room to depart, he just wanted to have that time with his wife alone. Honor your parents and grandparents, its by their prayers we're still alive 💯🙏🫵🙌🫶

Talking about tears rolling down my face!! I felt that hug!
My father died of stomach cancer 9 years ago now. Woke up with a bad stomach pain and they found a tumor the size of a grapefruit on his stomach. Stage 4. He lasted 4 months. By the time he died he was 75 lbs and was bedridden and it spread to his brain and by the end he barely knew who I was. The hardest thing I’ve ever experienced seeing my strong stoic father wither away to nothing. I feel for this young man. 😢
I'm sorry for your loss
He is not forgotten ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. Prayers for healing and strength. 🙏💕🤗🥺🕊
Sorry for your loss, yes sir same here my dad had lung cancer that spreaded to his liver, he was always a big man that would swing me and my brother on his arms when we were children, to watch his body just fade away was extremely painful, that same brother of mine would carry him down the stairs to go to his doctor's appointment, he passed away thirty one years ago and watching this just brought back so many memories of pain and love, thank you for sharing your story 🙏🏽
God bless you guys..and thank you grandson for serving...much love
Thanks, I needed that today. I am caring for my dad with cancer. It has been 5yrs or so. He is 87, getting dementia. Such a heart warming story. Bless you young man. From a Vet also.
I'm balling my eyes out with joyful, emotional tears.!!
That one got me
Me too...😢
The excitement that radiated from Grandpa when he saw his boy! It's crazy how other people's lives can make me cry like a baby.
Because we can identify and understand the emotion . Empathy!
You honor him with every step you take. Cherish that.
The immediate excitement when he saw Deshaun and how his body changed is amazing. He fought his body and pushed thru to stand to give him a full hug. Got my allergies acting up. Thanks for sharing this great story
Really wish my dad had said “I’m proud” or “I love you” I come from that hard nose family that don’t say those words. I’m an Iraq/ Afghanistan combat veteran and went on 7 deployments. Lost my mother on my 2nd deployment, my father on my 3rd deployment and my sister and nephew on my 6th deployment. So hearing a word of appreciation and acceptance was what I wanted to hear and never got it. We as men seek approval from 1 person😢 in our life, that’s our father. Everyone else’s opinion doesn’t mean anything, you’re not a man til you lose your father. I want this noted that I’m not looking for sympathy or pity in any way whatsoever so please don’t think that I’m whining or anything please. But me and my wife have 2 sons, 23 (USMC) and 13 (autistic) but sometimes my mind wonders. And I’d ask if everyone would pray for those 2 boys/ men before me.🫡🫡🫡
So sorry you didn’t have this kind of recognition and words of kindness/love from your dad or/and other family,.. but just know that many many of us recognize your service and are very proud of you.❤️
Sir, if nothing else...I appreciate and recognize your truth. "Thank you!" A proud Father..
I fully understand, when I joined my mother never said how proud she was of me, we never was close,,it’s ok because I was proud of myself. My two boys are serving I let them know how proud I am of them, also my daughter who graduated college, you can start your own tradition
I’m proud of you and I love you 💕 you make your family and country proud ❤
Thank you for your service 💙
DeShawn, Grampa James deserved this reunion and he is a PROUD MAN, didn't want to show weakness, hence standing to hug you, you made him sooo proud, and DeShawn, you deserve a medal of honor❣️You both are the best ❤🫡

Oh my gosh, this made me cry Uncontrollably! My dad served in the navy early sixties. My son joined the marine corps. My dad was so proud of him. My dad had Lung cancer. Unfortunately, he passed away during boot camp. The Red Cross got him home on a twenty four hour pass after the crucible. To attend my dad's full honor funeral. My son said the 1 person he wanted is graduation, but he was not there. I truly believe he was in spirit. He was so proud of my son. Out of his nine grandchildren, My son was the only one that served our country.
This is about this Deshawn and Grandpa James. Sad when someone has to try to overshadow these two special people with comments about themselves or their "story".
@@patriniacopeland6891Really? It's not about outshining or overshadowing anyone. People sometimes want to share their experience because they can relate or because a memory is brought back to mind and they want to voice it, doing so releases emotions. Either you cry from pent up sadness or smile with joy reliving the experience. Be nice. Let's not judge. This person had good memories real or not that they wanted to share so let them share. No problem. ❤
