I am a US Marine Vietnam Vet and I want to say thank you SGT for taking care of of your men in combat. That is what makes the Marine Corps special. And Doc, I knew a few corpsman in my 4 years in the Corps & all that were attached to Marines were special, thanks Doc. SEMPER FI Brothers
These acts of valor should be celebrated in the middle of Times Square and not in an inconspicuous ceremony in a barracks with only a few family members witnessing it. The country should witness this astonishing feats of courage that few in the world can dream of.
Sadly some our nation doesn’t appreciate the sacrifices of men young and old.
Welcome to the Marines. No budget for it... Navy Corpsmen are welcome anywhere Marines are.
You’ll learn that these guys don’t care about the medal and could care less about the ceremony. They realize they are just doing their job and note to themselves so many have done the same and never had recognition.
That inconspicuous barracks just happened to be home. What better place
I remember Thad as a moto lcpl to cpl. When I got to third platoon after my time at OCS, he was my junior Marine when I was a Sgt and his scout leader for third platoon with 1st LAR. We completed a pretty boring tour of Iraq (my fourth) and I think his second. I’m not surprised by this and extremely proud of him.
it's a proud moment when a sailor can stand in formation with a company of Marines like that.
Corpsman are seen as equal, they are the angels of the battlefield
The sailor also allowed to wear the Marine uniform when attached to a Marine unit.
I am awed and humbled by the sacrifice and patriotism of Messrs Herber and Connolly. This sacrifice and dedication usually goes un-noticed, or at least only among those among the Marine family. To you heros, our respect and eternal gratitude.
god your a robot
This makes me very proud. I was with H&S COMPANY, 1stLAV BN. 1986 to 1989. Was a great part of my life
These two are the true gallantry of the military, real life "JOHN WAYNE'S" , heros to the core, but very silent about their heroics. God Bless these brave men, God Bless all our brave men/women who protect our way of life daily. We will always be grateful to all military for their service to our country, God Speed
I had the pleasure of having, now, HM2 Connolly as a CTM instructor aboard Camp Pendleton (a course on combat trauma all Corpsman in 1st Marine Division must complete). I actually saw this video prior to meeting him. He's a very funny, approachable guy and always took his time to explain things and show us the best way to do something, be it a medical intervention or anything else.
In one particular instance, a girl in our class and in my unit had an emotional breakdown at the tail end of a night op. Connelly was quick to counsel her and showed a tremendous amount of humility and empathy, and she graduated with the rest of us.
Connolly was trip I was in that formation in the video lol remember it well. He was hilarious and a good doc
God bless America, Marine ,Navy, amen
Outstanding. Way to go.
Thank you for your service!!
I too am a US Marine Vet and I thank and congratulate these brave men for their dedication and bravery. Semper Fi Bro!
Awesome. Great job fellas. Ooh Rah and Hoo Yah to you.
Marines are least rewarded fighting men of all services , so if you see medals on a Marine, They are well deserved
How come
@@tomrichards3869 because the marines dont give out ribbons and awards as much as the other branches. The marines is the hardest branch to get awards in.
exactly we have to work hard for each one of them. Semper Fi SSgt Gamba 0369
Every Medal is well deserved, not just on Marines. DOC/Corpsman have most of the MOH. Most died caring for their Marines.

That back step sent me……
Texas in the house!!!!
Made in America.
Might sound like sour grapes here, but I'm so glad I was never the star of one of these little get-togethers. I hated these things just as much as change-of-command ceremonies.
It’s a shame us service personnel wear BDUas daily uniform, rather than being able to show their ribbons
