The example this man set for his daughter is exceptional. Not only by being in the military, but being retired and still pursued a bachelors degree. This type of commitment is what starts generational excellence.
I am proud to have followed my Dad into the Air Force, he was a Staff Sergeant when I was born, my goal was to wear that same Rank. Effective 1 October 1981 I was promoted to Staff Sergeant!
Unfortunately, my wife and I were not blessed with kids. If we were, I would be so proud to have a daughter like her. God bless both of you for all you do! Cheers!
Congratulations best wishes to you and your family you should be amazed and proud your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock ! Joe
I'm US Army Special Forces 10 years medevac veteran NCO. High point of my life was congratulating my oldest daughter when she became a LT Colonel in US Army Special Forces as a combat medic.
This dad clearly understands his assignment as a parent and this is why he got the great daughter he did. He pointedly says he's already lived his life and had his career but she's just getting started and it's not about him anymore because she needs the support more. This heart warming moment of father and daughter bonding even more as fellow soldiers was far more precious and touching than if he had chosen his own graduation ...which he knew it would be and is exactly why he chose it. Nice that they chose to call him out on his own achievement and honor him about how he sacrificed his own graduation to be there to honor his daughter with her first salute as an officer.
These are special times that seem to go unappreciated today. Heartfelt congratulations to all the parents of young men and women that have chosen to dedicate their lives to service to our country.
This really warms my heart. As a dad of two sons who are presently in the military, US Marines and US Army. Now awaiting for my daughter to graduate and then go into the US Air Force. We Dads, always wants our children to do well or even have better opportunities than we had. Seems like yesterday, that I was a 17 year old military boy. Now age 57, a military dad and granddad. I hope I am around long enough to see one of my grand children do military too. So happy for this blessed moment for father and daughter, Congratulations from a military veteran, GOD speed to all of them who serve.
David, thank you for serving. What’s even more amazing your kids choosing to serve. It’s a testament to your raising amazing young adults who care. Thank you for this gift to our nation, few understand the importance and the sacrifice involved.
My mother grown up in the country side of a third-word country, her education is 5 years elementary school, she never have a chance to enter to the junior high school because the jr high school is in the city not in the country side where my mother lived. I sent her the picture of my graduation with the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineer degree, for the whole year she shown my picture to everybody that she knew with tears in her eyes. I love you mum.
Awesome! It even choked me up. So proud of all these young service members that have continued the tradition of volunteering to defend this nation and our freedom. Toujours Pret.
She chose the Military Police Field. (I am a retired SSG Military Policeman.) As a father I know how proud he is of you. May God bless you both with long life together.
How lovely it must be to see the child you raised become successful, and she tells people it's all because of you👏👏👏🥺🥺.. May God bless and protect this special strong father and daughter bond! Shout out to all the military families out there. We salute you!
That's a young Lt that is going to go far in the Army. And that's one hell of a dad. He knows she sacrificed a lot as a kid during his career so he put her first when it was most important to her. You can see how happy they are too and you know he was as good a dad as he possibly could as a senior ARMY NCO.
To have that kind of connection and bond with your parent, that parent must be an extraordinary special person and good at not only his job as a parent, but as a mentor, life coach and friend. That is something not many people is able to do, so i respect this man a lot! And i respect his daughter for being an exemplary role model for young women to aspire to.
As he shows here, Dad's will always be there, and always will put you 1st. Just like I tell my own kids , no matter how old you are you will always be my my kids and I will always be there for you. I love his line " I lived my life , this is about her " , we may not always show it but know we're not just Dad's sometimes, a real Dad will be you Dad forever !! ( Notice I didn't say father, there are many people filling the role of "Dad" for whatever reason and they deserve the same respect. )
I can tell you’re a special family and I know you’re gonna go far you’re both military and I’m very proud of you and I don’t even know you God bless you enjoy your time at home
I remember my first salute in the Air Force. It was my best friend, a Marine. I didn’t know he was going to be there. He flew from Afghanistan to Alabama just for the above reason. We hadn’t seen each other in a year and got two weeks together before he had to go back and I had my first duty assignment.
Okay, you got me, that was beautiful. I served in the Navy in which my daughter was born. 20 years later she joined the Navy, I will ever be proud of her.
This made me cry. Excellent story the responsibility, sacrifice, and love and love for country. Very proud of both of you. Also very thankful for both of you and you are individual sacrifices so that my family can succeed and live in the freest Nation on Earth. My blessings to both of you and all your family.
WOW! What an awesome video! My youngest granddaughter will be graduating from Army Basic Training in the next few short weeks, & traveling in her Dad’s footsteps. My heart is so full of pride and thanks to God that both my son & his daughter chose this path!
You Sir and your beautiful daughter are good people , the world needs more like you 2 , thanks to both of you for doing your bit , and that's from me, an Englishman
@COUNTRYBOI I'm not mad, he's been in imma guess 15 years and she not commissioned (date of video) but when she is, her desicion rules. That's why junior officers are seen as confused or I guess stupid, they either Don t have a good NCO guiding them or they don't listen
Hooah from an old sailor (24 years in the Navy, two years in Viet-Nam, son in law a retired Master sergeant in the World’s Greatest Army). Watching this gave me goose bumps!
I'm 60 years old, retired 1SG and here I am crying like a little dude

@Logos Learner take off the tinfoil hat clown
@Logos Learner amazing how idiots like you criticize others without looking at yourselves first
😊😊
FATHERS ARE IMPORTANT
PARENTS ARE IMPORTANT
You couldnt have said this more importanly. VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!
@Rose FabFour
Which came first, chicken or the egg?
yes but our children are more important
That about sums it up for a strong close family.
And all the ills of modern society can be traced to destroying the family
One lucky daughter, one proud father!
Any parent who raises up children who are willing to serve their country should be proud.
I have a son in the Marines and I'm the daughter and wife of veterans. I couldn't be more proud
She is beautiful! And so is her fathers pride for her.
Very....
Unfortunately, my wife and I were not blessed with kids. If we were, I would be so proud to have a daughter like her. God bless both of you for all you do! Cheers!
Now that is one proud Daddy 😢
You can tell that the daughter adores her Dad and the father loves his daughter. What a tight knit family. Awesome!!!!
she's going to make a good Army Officer because she already understands the value of listening to NCO's and how they run the Army.
I salute you, too. This had me in tears if pride...and you're not even my daughter!!!😭😭😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I am so proud of you both and I don’t even know you.👍🏻

@@robertwillis4061 There's no such thing as colonels being medics. Or women in the Green Berets
definitely a PROUD DAD,AND A PROUD DAUGHTER

As a parent, this is the happiest you can feel. To witness the achievement of your child in person like this. Nothing comes close!
She chose the Military Police Field. (I am a retired SSG Military Policeman.) As a father I know how proud he is of you. May God bless you both with long life together.
she’s going to have a lot of problems with Army Engineers, because MP’s & Engineers do not get along very well
So beautiful father and daughter God bless you both.

Two powerful emotions, love and pride, brought together in a single moment. Simply exquisite.
I remember my first salute in the Air Force. It was my best friend, a Marine. I didn’t know he was going to be there. He flew from Afghanistan to Alabama just for the above reason. We hadn’t seen each other in a year and got two weeks together before he had to go back and I had my first duty assignment.

Proud moment for her dad

Thank you both for your service.
Awesome. Congratulations. Thank you all for your service and sacrifice
inspiring story, i was on tears on these 2 service members,father and daughter.
That is beautiful! But she’s a higher rank than her dad; that’s amazing!
But that speaks nothing of experience.
@COUNTRYBOI I'm not mad, he's been in imma guess 15 years and she not commissioned (date of video) but when she is, her desicion rules. That's why junior officers are seen as confused or I guess stupid, they either Don t have a good NCO guiding them or they don't listen
And you are a feminist. Women should not be in the military.
That is disgusting that his daughter outranks him.
@@bobbyrobby3600 why?
It brought me on tears. This is a beautiful moment. We salute them and thank them for their service. GOD bless our troops!
So emotional
Thank you for your service. These moments are a blessing
Thank you sgt. for ur service in the army and congrats to both u and ur daughter for ur achievements. I am a vet from Canada
