Every time I see this I cry. On my son’s graduation after everyone got with family, there was a girl left standing all alone, it broke my heart. I walked up to her and asked her if I could hug her. I did and told her how proud I was of her. I wish I had kept in touch.
I am so glad she had someone like you to recognize she was alone… I am SURE IT MEANT A LOT TO HER & I’d bet she wishes she had too.. ❤
Thank you for your kindness to the young woman. ❤
makes me cry reading your message Madam ❤really touched my heart keep it up.
Thank you. I'm sure that ment a lot to her. She will tell the story of feeling alone & a beautifully, kind woman gave her the love & encouragement that filled her heart.
Thank you for doing that God Bless
Please let there be someone for every man and woman standing up there! 🙏🌾
Unless they're not good people and there for nefarious reasons. Not everyone who joins the military does it with good intentions
@@JaxLittlesAnd boy, that goes for all positions in this old world. Wise words you shared.
@@JaxLittles I lost both parents and my sister to a drunk driver...........I had no one 😢 but my DI who truly smoked my boots and I honestly thought I hated him at the time.excuse the language, but he knocked my d,***in the dirt
........ but when he came, while I thought I was alone...... he had the same look my dad had when he was proud......... and most importantly he told me that I wasn't alone anymore and boy was he right.......... last is some join for the wrong reasons, but they usually come around ❤
And every women standing there 😅
That’s what I always think ❤
Though we broke up, my ex went in right after high school. When we went to the ceremony, I ran to him. His best friends wife was not able to attend, so I ran to him too. Though it's been years, I'll never forget the smile and tears, the way this guy thanked me over and over again for not letting him stand there. All of these men and women deserve love. ❤❤❤
👏👏👏👏👏👏
So you cheated on your boyfriend 😮😮😮
@@Thomas-wr8loshe was looking for his divorce 😂
👀😳
@@Thomas-wr8lo I don't think that's considered cheating. It's respect for those who served their country. They probably broke up on good terms
I cried. This hurts. They All deserve a TAP!!!! ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL.. PLEASE PLEASE GET VOLUNTEERS. THERE ARE PPL WHO WOULD GLADLY AND PROUDLY STEP IN FOR FAMILIES THAT CANT BE THERE. THIS HURTS SO BAD.😢
Absolutely 💯 🙏😇❣️💪
I feel bad for the ones who don't get tapped out. Some don't have family, others family can't get there.
Thanks for your service to my country. May God Bless and protect all who are graduating. ❤❤❤️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Absolutely agree. God bless them all. Always. 🌹🙏🇺🇸
Makes me cry when I think of those who have no one. God bless them.❤
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 🙏❤️
Yeah we get it. But the hesitation is brutal. Why would you do that to a loved one?
Some of these hero's don't have any family.
Hero’s? They haven’t done shit yet
@@Vincent-fb1yj they've accomplished a HELL of a lot more than you
Why are they heroes?
@wereallscrewed9714 what have they accomplished?
Hero’s who did nothing but invade other countries for money and political agenda from their so called “leaders”
I couldn’t focus on the couple as much as the men standing without a tap, how sad ❤️❤️ there should be volunteers to offer free hugs to this bunch esp
I could only focus on the shoes she's wearing that are like 6 sizes too big.
At least they don't have to worry about her tapping out Jody while he's deployed
The year was 1977 when I graduated from the Marines.
It was the highest high and the highest honor for me in my life.
Yes I felt alone and it hurt but looking back after all these years, I see where I did good and all the good things that happened to me.
As I was standing there I knew no one was coming and I’m okay with it because no one cared about me except me.
I’m greatful for the opportunity to have served my country and most of all greatful to God.
Thank you for your service …
Marine, you know your platoon mates cared for you. I still care for all of the guys I graduated with, even though it was back in 1984. I care for all the guys I served with, and some of the guys I knew were lost in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. Those guys, although it haunts me, I hope I see them on the streets of heaven, I'll go on patrol with them.
The condition of things in the world shows that troublous times are right upon us. The daily papers are full of indications of a terrible conflict in the near future. Bold robberies are of frequent occurrence. Strikes are common. Thefts and murders are committed on every hand. Men possessed of demons are taking the lives of men, women, and little children. Men have become infatuated with vice, and every species of evil prevails. 9T 11.3
Wake up and be ready!!! Find and read Great Controversy by EGW
A real hero.
@@RickGraziano Thank you for your service and support.

I am a retired AF Officer. This is a cruel part of what should be a proud milepost in an Airman's transition to an AF career and leadership positions. If I were in charge of this ceremony, this BS "Tap-Out" would be banned. After so much work, some Airmen without significant others are suddenly alone. Terrible leadership! There are other, much better ways to conclude this graduation ceremony. Under these protocols, however, I would walk up to each orphan, put him/her at ease, look each straight in the eye, and welcome him/her to a new "family" and an honorable AF life - with a handshake & a hearty hug. These are MY people!
Agreed Sir!
Absolutely. I went through Army basic training back in 2002. Army didn't do this. But if they did and my battle buddy didn't have family there then my family would be his family. Leave no one!
That's Beautiful 🥲
Totally agree. Happy for some, hell for others
You should get this foolish ceremony changed now, my orders!!! Thanks.
Every time I see one of these, I think of how cruel it is for those with no one to greet them.😢
Those are the extra strong ones that God will be guiding!🙏
It does seem cruel. That would be me standing all alone
Makes me want to show up and be there for them!!!😢
Me too ! 😢
God bless the men that got dismissed with no one there. We’re thinking about you bro
F
She won't utter a single word......yet the ocean of love overflows through anyone's eye's.....ON ITS OWN....!!!
SHE IS CALLED....."WIFE"
every "wife" carries that ocean...!!
Yes by filing false allegations, domestic violence cases, blocking kids access to husband.. ocean of hell
@@jeyaranim9967yeah wtf is he talking about lol. Kid still thinks Disney movies are real life maybe idk
You can't be serious😂
@@jeyaranim9967 bruh
How about the ones still standing. Those are the real warriors
@@AIKINGBTC no just very unfortunate.
I mean, they're all real warriors
Literally all of them are "real warriors". Stop being an ass.
Some have families at home, some are just 18.
…what? lmao
All of our military families deserve this type of respect.
They sure do❤
Why do you say that??? They obviously DO get that kind of "RESPECT". Someone always has to make a "negative" remark. LIKE "YOU"...STOP IT FOR PETES SAKE!😤😤😤
@@FLo-jc7ig There is nothing wrong with what I said. You are an Instigator. Instigators rile people up and that causes other problems.
Not everyone gets that type of respect. Have you forgotten what happened after the Viet Nam war?
@@FLo-jc7ig some military staff have no family I do believe your not seeing that fact.Nobody said anything negative.My husband done two tours in Viet Nam so I hold the utmost respect for the military.You have a blessed day
It's a gut punch when you realize those who have become your second family, are left standing because you are their only family.
Imagine being loved this way
A woman who misses you like that is priceless!
Definetly cheats on him
Probably still cheating, just what happens. Women ain’t shit today
@@tylersnow4698oh yes all woman cheat. What a sad thing to think
@@numba1punta110 sounds like a personal problem
@@tylersnow4698sounds like a personal problem
That must be the hardest thing to do if your wife or your husband is in the military. Thank you, sir, for your service. And may god bless you and your wife
God
they usually cheat
@@shanks6190 Uhmm yes suuuure
@@veroniquemeika9971 literally they do
Bro she’s prolly already cheated while he was in boot camp haha
congratulations your love is so beautiful, 💖
I love this. My grandfather tapped me out and it was an amazing feeling ❤
I'm sure it's not allowed, but I'd start hugging everyone. Like i was setting them free 😢
Your exactly like me I couldn't stand there watching some not all feel that love
This is cruel. 😢 They do this to our military folks?😢Wtf? Oh I dnt care if I get in trouble m every single one of them gets a hug from me and you❤ what they gonna do? Arrest us for giving out free hugs? Lol
I would just hug them all😂
Exactly, this is a ridiculous tradition.
They still wouldnt be able to move. Only friends and family can tap you out
@@drewtaylor4523well if someone cares enough to tap you out then they qualify as a friend
I want to say thank you so much lady's and gentlemen for y'alls service!!
Congratulations. And thank you for your service and sacrifice
Thank you for your service
10% off home depot
I always get choked up watching these videos. Thank you for protecting us
This foolish ceremony puts on display those who don't have significant others or they can't participate. You can get this changed...my orders...now. thanks
Protecting you from what? Oil shortages?
I don't because I know for a FACT more then half of these girlfriends/wifes are cheating in the background.
While murdering thousands of innocent people including children. The world needs protection FROM YOU
@@Deleted11100defense, more like offense, lmao
This is heartbreaking for those who don't have people.
Let there be more love all around! So many heart breaks so many divorces so many broken families, Lord heal this land!!
Thank you for your service, sir. God Bless all of our military personnel and families.
Thank all of you for your service
I adore the tap out tradition it's so satisfying that the family welcomes the soldier home. They are the very reason they serve.
I didn't even know this was a thing!! I would def 100% tap anyone out. I am so grateful for our military and their courage.
Congratulations!!! Thank you for your service 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Finally the power of physical touch from someone you Love. Much Love an Respect to you both 👍✌️
That's really beautiful. I wish both of you all the blessings and happiness in your married life. God bless
God bless you two. Thanks for all your sacrifice and protection. Praying g for all of you in the service
THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THEN BEING AWAY FROM FAMILY THIS MADE ME CRY
There’s nothing worse not having a family at all. #orphans #rejection #trauma #abuse #nofamily #notalone #help
When you're young and in the military, being away from family is kind of the job
Absolutely blessed by these men and women working tirelessly to keep our nation safe.
Their work is tough. Often away from families and their kids. The more help to them to ensure finance is good to make families live well is so important.
Thank you for what you do to help keep our communities safe.
God bless you all.
Military work is not tough. Unless you get deployed.
It’s their choice. And war is never good. It’s bloody stupid. I’ve not respect for anyone who goes to war.
Keeping your nation safe!? How? by blowing up, murdering, destroying cities in other countries which has nothing to do with them. The reason the West get attacked by the East is the retaliation of the East wanting you to get the fuck out of their country. There is no war, call it what it is...Business. These soldiers are the receptionists of the army. They take all the shit whilst being on minimum everything whilst the big wigs sit comfortably and safetly whilst watching their bank accounts grow. I really can't believe that grown adults really believe in the Army, Military, Police, CIA, FBI. Its ALL BULLSHIT!!!!
@Kokolamar Now it's voluntary, but it wasn't during the Vietnam Crisis.
My husband enlisted in the USAir Force in 1965 before he would have been drafted into the Army. He served four years working as an aircraft electrician on B52's, which are huge 6 engine bombers that bombed the North Vietnamese, who are Communists. I thank God, my late husband never had to fly over or serve on the ground in Vietnam. He
serviced those planes in the US & on Guam.😊One of my brother-in-laws served in the Army as a medic. He rescued soldiers from the battle fields with horrendous injuries. Many didn't survive or were left with severe handicaps from lost limbs, blinded, burned, disfigured, hearing losses, Agent Orange poisoning & PTSD. My bil is still being treated for PTSD by the VA from the horrors he experienced in Vietnam in the 1960's!! He was drafted! He didn't volunteer. Most of the young soldiers were drafted when they graduated from high school. Tens of thousands of their names are engraved on The Wall in Washington DC & buried at Arlington Cemetary in Arlington, VA. So many became addicted to cigarettes,
alcohol & drugs to cope with the stress & horrors of that conflict. Then the US lost that conflict to the Communist Vietnamese!
To add insult to injury, the soldiers, sailors, marines
& airmen were greeted with distain from US citizens! There were no parades or recognition
for their service, injuries sacrifices or deaths. There were anti-war demonstrations instead!
I witnessed them on the Boston Common when I was going to Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing. Our freshman dorm was in the old Lincolnshire Hotel just steps from the Common.
War is Hell. 😢
Now we must fight terrorists that have invaded our country & our allies' countries. They teach their children in preschool to hate anyone, who isn't Muslim!! They are taught that if they die as martyr, they will be given 72 virgins in the after life!! Their families are given money for each infidel they kill, so their parents encourage their sons & daughters to kill
Anyone, who is not Muslim
For all those not getting tapped out! Remember, we love you, we think about you, you are in our hearts, we are your family!! Even more important God loves you!
God bless America, thanks for your service!!
God bless all of them❤
Good man 🙏🏻for your service Sir! I hope you and your girl enjoy your time together!
Thank you for your service 🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thank you for your service. 🙏♥️🙏♥️🙇♀️🙇♀️🙌
God i hope they all have someone 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
This is the best thing I have seen in a long while and I’m so happy for them to get to see their faces again and see what they have done for the country and what they are going to do for each other later lol❤❤❤
Thank you for your service!🇺🇸🌷❤️
Congratulations to him and good luck in your career .
Please let there be someone for each of these brave men and women. They deserve it god. ❤
Power of love….!!!!
Thank you!! Always be there to support our military!!! I pray that all the men and women in uniform have a special someone supporting them. 🥰🥰
C'est beau, c'est fort, c'est tendre, c'est magnifique. ❤❤❤
Thank you all those that serve. God bless you for what you’ve done and what you do you’re forever in my prayers.
I hope the two of them have blessings and length of year’s ahead of them.
This should be a thing not only in the military. Do women understand how powerful that hug is. We ( men) just want to be loved back & shown that love
It’s mandatory to cry when you get tapped out. Tears started going down my cheeks the second my mom walked into my vision that day🤧❤️
God bless her for loving her husband
So beautiful finally hugging him so sweet and emotional. God bless both of them.
This reminds me of the summer of 1970. God Bless all the soldiers.
So much love for the ones who protect our freedoms n bless those who never come home
What a good feeling ...
Welcome home soldier ❤❤❤ thanks for your service ❤❤❤. now go home and enjoy your beautiful family.❤❤❤
There's no better feeling in this world than when you embrace someone you truly love and miss.
As a Veteran, I can TOTALLY RELATE to their EMOTIONS here; I ran off to the Army behind my mom's back when I turned 18 years old; and my mom lost her mind when I came home from the 82nd Airborne Div. in uniform after my Discharge!! She cried Tears of Joy that whole day!! 😇🙏🇵🇷
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 😊😊😊😊
All of the most important things in life are right there.
damn straight !!❤
That's beautiful.
How lovely and beautiful!!!❤
Thank you for your Service
I always admire this when families are approaching their love ones.im expecting the soldiers to make the first move but I guess it's the opposite at all times I notice..God bless these beautiful soldiers and their families 😢❤❤❤
Yeah they aren’t allowed to move unless a family member touches them.
@@EveLovesGod oh ok I thought so too.thanks for responding. God bless the ones that have no relatives or friends to greet them.😢❤❤🙏
I stood there alone anybody that loved me enough to show up at that time was dead and gone.
A buddy of mine invited me to lunch with his family then I went to movie made sure I was back in time.
Never forget that day. Life changing!
I love the way she just stares at him.....he was probably going crazy for that huge greeting hug 🫂 ❤❤ love it 😊
That's so beautiful but what if the service person has no one. Who will hug that person. I hope everyone notices if someone doesn't have that support and give them a big hug.😊
I would hug them if I could ....
اي عناق .. ههههه ماله احد . ياكل تراب ويجلس في الخدمه للوطن ..أجمل عناق
@@annmerklin2891 me too.
Que bello reencuentro....solo el amor sincero derrite el corazón y se refleja con lágrimas de felicidad ❤
Ellos no deben moverse hasta que los tocan 🇺🇸🙏🏼❤️
Only us Veterans and what went through can deeply emotional mentally what that embrace represents! So so so touching! To us Veterans!
Beautiful you made me cry, thanks
This tradition was okay in 1954 but today I'm sure there's way too many men left standing there the song called loved ones too busy no man should be left standing there alone we don't all have a loved one especially in today's Times
Can u explain more about this tradition I want to know about it
@WillamSmith-zk4tj
A lovely tradition. And we need get creative.
Those not expecting to be tapped out could quietly make that known beforehand and, instead, receive a visit / be tapped out by, for example, a young student of a nearby school.
Ergo, no graduate left behind!
There are more & more women serving in the military. Many are moms, too & leaving their children with fathers, grandparents or other relatives. That would break my heart to have to leave my children to serve in the military. My dad served 26 years in the Army Air Corp from 1940-1946. Then in the USAir Force from 1947-1967. He had to leave my mom & me when I was an infant to go to Newfoundland, Canada for one year. Then he had to serve in Labrado, Canada from 1965-1966 without the five of us. It's not easy moving every 2-3 years, either. Fortunately, I learned from my mom to write cards & letters to my family & friends as we couldn't afford to phone them.
It's much easier to communicate between service members & their loved ones & their families with computers, laptops & cell phones.
What a bittersweet moment for those who do not have family or are trying to escape their family.
Thank you so very much for your service fr God bless you your family and friends to infinity and beyond till the end of times fr God bless 🥁1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣😁☘️👼🏻🪽🧿♾️✝️😊😊💙💚🌞🌈🙂💜🙏🏻😎👍🏻🇺🇲
Military spouses sacrifice almost as much as their service member spouses
Lmao you mean the less than 5 percent that don’t cheat?
Eh, 50/50
Salute to ALL SPOUSE'S EVERYWHERE. THEY ARE ARE THE REAL SUPER STARS THAT KEEP OUR MILITARY AND OUR COUNTRY A FREE COUNTRY ❤
NOT TRUE
Military spouses have Jody!
Airforce your the best you go
YOU are not ALONE ❤
Wish we celebrate all big or small Occasions with same joy and tenacity
The relief in his face when she touched him
Thank you fir your service and God Bless you and your family !
It is sooo important for someone to be there to support, if you see someone that has no support, please go and talk to them, to let them know, they are important as well ❤️
Gave me chills. ❤
Thanks for your service
We all cried when we saw our Grandson after basic training! Have a great pic of he and his Dad!❤
Congratulations & thank you for your service & God bless him & his wife. So beautiful ❤😊❤😊✝️🙏👼🇺🇲✝️💞🥰
Never gets old. Look closely you can see her sacrifice for his service for our freedoms. This family Thanks you both of you for your sacrifices
God bless all who serve and their families for their willingness to sacrifice themselves in so many different ways for the rest of us
Awesome gesture to someone you didn't know❤
Awe this is so beautiful and so sweet I love it so much and I’m sure that they are going to be having some fun together later ❤❤❤
Do they make sure family or a loved one is there to tap them out? It would be horrible to see all these reunions around you and no one for you.
Read all the comments. Sadly, some families can not make the trip.
I can’t even believe that they ever did this as a tradition never mind still do it…. That’s so gut wrenching for the people that might not have anyone to come hug them.
I am so proud of each & every one of them. Sometimes family may be unable to make it for various reason, or maybe the family is disconnected or maybe even toxic for you regardless I bet that there is thousands of folks that appreciate you and are proud & would probably be there if they knew about it or we’re allowed and able. Great job all of you 👏
Beautiful seeing him again!!! ❤❤
A wonderful reunion huh!!!
I love how they have to stand there respectfully in silence until their family members touch them to release them. It’s so bittersweet! However it saddens me to the ones that don’t have family there for them. I’d be hugging all the graduates that didn’t have family just so they could feel loved and appreciated and so they could leave their post!❤
