Two Marines were walking through Walmart. My 4 year old son froze. He pointed to the two Marines. “Daddy... look. Heroes.” I stopped the two Marines, each twice my size. “Guys,” I said, “my son would like to shake your hands.” The two Marines suddenly stood at attention then each knelt down and shook my boy’s hand. They spoke to him for a minute or so. They were so kind, so gentle. Then they stood and saluted and my son instantly saluted back. Then they walked away. 17 years later my son became a United States Marine. It was his dream, instilled by those two warriors. My son was severally injured and was honorably discharged two years later. But his dream was realized. Thanks guys.
This reminds me of the quote famously attributed to G. K. Chesterton: "A true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him."
Tell that to the Marines that show up for fund raisers and stuff around here. Most of them are too busy on their smart phones to shake hands or even make eye contact with anyone.
It's beautiful... the one fighting for hate is doing what he does because he is *EAGER TO KILL* for what he believes in... but the one fighting out of love, is *WILLING TO DIE* for it.
Why would you ever have kids and a partner when being a soldier, at least if you’re being sent to war. The damage you inflict emotionally to those you leave behind is so huge, I just think it’s a very selfish thing, even if you serving isn’t.
This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.... allowing this child to do the pinning gave me chills and tears! Thank you for letting this child play such an important role!
Sydni Gauwitz-- Right?? I Agree. This, IS Too Cool.. This Must have Been a "Special, Commemorative Day, For this Little Kid Wyatt,(sounded like), to do the "Pinning".. 😍😍👏Very Nice!! Congratulations, Sargent!!🙌👐
I really liked seeing the little girl in her blue jeans, hanging out with boys. My mom served. She liked her jeans. I like men generally; they tend to be good Allie’s if you’re in a situation (and I always am). I just thought there was something nice about it. Men get trashed on a lot but there’s some good ones out there. We wouldn’t probably be able to live our lives as free people without the military protecting the constitution of the United States for us. I think our freedom is paid for by the military and for this they ask very little. I think this is an under appreciated perspective but very valid even within United States borders. I also liked how neat clean and composed the Marines were. So I’m saying thank you in my roundabout way. It’s hard in the political climate to know what to trust or think. But I do know that they are protecting us from real threats to our values and that those values are important not superfluous, the constitution. I’m pleased a child was allowed to be part of this ceremony. I feel they are saying their power is derived from what they are trying to protect.
@TravelCoach24 Well thats one way to look at it, mostly the one-dimensional way. I'm not promoting war at all, but killing has always been a part of human history, it's not a new concept. Maybe the tools have changed, but the behaviour has been there all way long. And of course i do no agree into governments going to war, but i always support the troops. If you'd like to have less war, vote for another government. I live in europe and without people willing to "murder" others, there would be a picture of the Führer hanging in every school, every government building. So where do you draw the line, at which point a war is "right", the reasons for it are "good". Thats what i mean by describing "one-dimensional".
l hope he can learn to look with more advance spirit and empathy. he has being promoted by his kid exactly to kill for others' kids and torn others' family also....
Thank you all military folks (living, deceased, or disabled) for your service. The world is a lot safer thanks to your sacrifices. Sincere condolences to all military families for the loss of your loved ones. Rest in peace 😞🎖🪖
A lot safer due to american military actions? ? Tell that to the Afghans, Syrians, Iraqis, Koreans, etc whose family members were killed and tortured by american people!

@@pauleinz9416 I would like you to remove Koreans, you have no right to speak for my country, which is better off due to American intervention. You obviously know nothing about the contributions that American troops served, good or bad.
I still have a photo from my Dad's promotion to Major (Army) 40 years ago, with my Mom and me pinning on his oak leaves. Really great and special to have your kid a part of that. Congrats on the promotion and your beautiful family.
This is VERY personal. To allow a child to render the promotion shows how much US service men and women care about and respect their country. Good show people 🙂
When my dad got promoted to 1st Sergeant in Japan, my siblings and I got to put his new insignias on. Watching this kind of unlocked a forgotten memory...
Having lived the child side for both parents in the Army, one a combat infantry officer, it does my heart good to see direct acknowledgment of soldier’s (marine) humanity. It made me cry. I’m 65.
I served in the US Army in the early sixties and the US military is very diligent about taking care of service members families. It isn’t perfect but this shows how to get it right. Since this is dated in 2016, I wonder if this sergeant has been promoted again. He and his family are entitled to be proud of his service to our country.
That was so beautiful. Adorable little boy who was able to be a part of his father's promotion. I wish they did that a long time ago when my husband was in the Marines during Vietnam. He still won't talk about it but it's Semper Fi! I didn't know him then (he was just 18) young and he became a man with respect for his country and all the people he protected. They were the few, the proud ... the Marines.
To all the marines your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard love and respect you guys thanks job well done you should be proud appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe
I remember these events growing up as an Army brat. I'm very proud of my father for his service in Vietnam and Desert Storm. He retired as a Command Sargeant Major after 36 years of proud service. I hope the young Sargeant instills the same pride to his Marines and family. They are one and the same. God bless.
My granddaughter then 2 almost 3 saw a man in a uniform and ran up to him and grabbed his leg and the poor guy looked stunned and like he was looking and trying to figure out what was going on...then she pulled on his shirt and was looking up at him and was pointing down...so he knelt down to her size and she gave him a big hug around his neck and and slobber kiss that only a 2 year old can do and told him in her sweet whisper voice she said "Thank You" and off she ran back to me...it took this fellow a minute to realize what just happened and when he did a tear was in his eye...we later found out that he was a general and his family was already sent back to the mainland...to this day she still does it minus the kiss of course...she is now 12 year's old and so proud of our Military Men and Women...
Thank you for this touching story. I also thank your son for his service, I hope he is able to realize what his sacrifice gave us, and continues to give us…freedom!

@@pfdrtom Now everyone wears them, but ya know what, there are a lot more kids doing time where it ain't safe. I see a lot of kids going in now finding new respect for the Rangers and what they have to do compared to other branches. I tell them Rangers have got to always be ready to get their hands dirty. There are a lot of good people going in. Many wanting to be part of a unit where they can say "Airborne", be it 101, 82, or Rangers with a "Airborne" rocker over the top of the 75th scroll. Proud of these kids. I always steer them toward learning about the lineage of the Rangers, especially from Viet Nam era. They eat it up. Only hard working kids are gonna be in the military now. The average kid on the street today isn't worth a damn. They're all mommy's boys.
That is very sweet and what a wonderful example for the son! The child had such nice manners! I love the "Good afternoon Gentlemen" and the superior officer's reaction! All the Marines including the commander were smiling.
I don't know why i watched this i am not even a American but after watch this i feel some kind of proud on that little kid and his dad. Salute from India

I tried joining the Marines after my mother passed away when I was 17. I was declined due to being asthmatic. To this day… 42 years later… I feel a great sense of lose in my life… for both my mom and my missed opportunity to serve with the greatest military on earth. I thank each and every one of you for your service. Semper Fi.
i too was denied after having both high school JrOtc and 2 yrs of ROTC under my belt. i had broken up with a young woman who had cheated on me but 45 days later i was told i was going to be a father of which i had doubts was my blood. was denied because i was not married and had a child on the way. i tried 5 times taking the ASVAB(SP?) test and on the 5th attempt almost made it thru... so i felt very bitter i was not able to persue my lifes dream of serving... but i became a good father despite my ex's 20 yr attempt to make my life miserable. I admire and respect all branches of our military and in my heart know that i would have been a good soldier.
@@DistendedPerinium American war machine is the ruling class recruiting the underclass using “watch cute family greet part time daddy and family slayer” films. This ensures military investments continue to fund ruling class extravagance and the under educated and under employed continue to enlist.

No one:
Not a soul:
Americans when they see a soldier even on a video: *thank you for your service sir*
Warrdyy it's true. It's not kind to make a comment about that.
HOOOAH!
I think of a soldier and i thank them before continuing my thought. Thank you for your service
thank you for you comment sir
Yeah not really, I barely ever hear people say that... but how would that be funny anyway?
Thank you for your service sir. Take good care of your beautiful daughter and God bless you and yours.
To all the military personnel i thank you for your sacrifice and may the lord bless you
The marines keep finding a way to becoming more COOL.
Like joining the Ranger Regiment.

Now everyone wears them, but ya know what, there are a lot more kids doing time where it ain't safe. I see a lot of kids going in now finding new respect for the Rangers and what they have to do compared to other branches. I tell them Rangers have got to always be ready to get their hands dirty. There are a lot of good people going in. Many wanting to be part of a unit where they can say "Airborne", be it 101, 82, or Rangers with a "Airborne" rocker over the top of the 75th scroll. Proud of these kids. I always steer them toward learning about the lineage of the Rangers, especially from Viet Nam era. They eat it up. Only hard working kids are gonna be in the military now. The average kid on the street today isn't worth a damn. They're all mommy's boys.
The little boy is so cute! 🤗👶
I wish the soldier/sailor/airman/marine with the crutches in the background get well soon! 👍
Is he not a soldier is a marine army are soldiers
Concerned Teenager I dare u to call a marine a solider
Concerned Teenager - Just... don’t call them soldiers.
Amen
Concerned Teenager they hate it trust me
That was such a beautiful moment to have one of many yet to come for the world to enjoy and we thank every one of them for their sacrifice of service
This was so sweet and I thank all the soldiers and their families for all they do and give for America
kid knows the correct way to pin them on
John Reed 2:28 he practiced for this....
He thought him/her very much at home many ..but that kid is so smart
Absolutely beautiful. I especially liked his uniformed mates smiling.

mi mniej się podobają jak sobie wyobrażę co potem będą robić w Iraku, Syrii, Libii zabijać takie same dzieciaczki
They all got smoked
Thank you so much for your service and God bless you and your family!
Thank you for sharing this with us it was so moving bless you and thank you for your service amen
That is very sweet and what a wonderful example for the son! The child had such nice manners! I love the "Good afternoon Gentlemen" and the superior officer's reaction! All the Marines including the commander were smiling.
I don't know why i watched this i am not even a American but after watch this i feel some kind of proud on that little kid and his dad. Salute from India
kashmiri ny tera kya bigada bhai ....
@T Zone tumlogu ne kashmir mai halat kharab kar k rkhay hai, ab jab fight back ho rha hai to halat kharab hogaye? 😂😂 Douchebag
@@yaminhaqani6387 Hamne kharab ki hai ki pakistan backed terrorists ne?
Kisne ki hai?
Kashmiri pandito ko kisne mara?
@@gauravdey4163 maama panditu ko terrorist ne mara, mgr 90's se locals ko kon maarta aa rha hai? Yaha tak ki tumhari apni flim industry ne b Haider mai dikhaya ki yaha pe army kitnay baygunah logu ko maar rahi hai.. ar jake UN report pado, yaha jaise b halat hai usko 90% credit India ko jata hai ar 10% Pakistan
@@yaminhaqani6387 so, u think that ur mosque and those Imam which use to spread venom from the speakers and ask Pandit to leave or convert weren't terrorists. I'm sorry, they where local ppl who wanted to make kashmir a muslim country but India will not allow that. We believe in values of secularism and we will do everything to protect our democracy and secular ideas. We won't allow another Pakistan to be carved out from India. We will stand till our last breath with the ppl of Jammu, Ladhak and those Kashmiri which always support India. India will not compromise with her principles on with she stands for.
Bravo!!! God bless the Carpenter family.
So precious!!! I hope the little boy remembers this event!! I know his parents will Never forget!
That's so awesome, no higher honor sir ,than the love and respect of your family.
That's what we're sadly losing in this country. God bless you and your family.
Thank you! God bless!

This melted my heart!!❣❣❣💖💖💖
Thank you for your service marine’s
Sounds like some Marines are relentlessly biting crayons in the background.
Woodpecker? 🤣🤜🤛
Army guy here real joker!
Aspiring Marine. Died laughing 🤣😂🤣
Marines do habitually eat crayons. Also lead paint.
@@shade9272 And that gentlemen, is why Marines shit rainbows lol
Gotta love it. That was way too cool for letting his youngster do that for him. Another future marine, I'm sure.
Freakin awesome!!!!
Aaron Cunningham Right that was soooo sweet
Aaron Cunningham Speaking of future Marines, I'll bet all the others were trying to keep a straight face while this was going on.
When my nephew got MSgt, his eldest boy pinned him. 3 weeks later, he joined the JROTC - Marine .. The tradition lives on!
Katheryne Koelker
After 20 years and retired from the army I was so impressed especially having the family member pin the the stripes on go marines
OMG!! This is DEFINITELY the SWEETEST thing I’ve seen!! Congratulations and thank you for your service!
I tried joining the Marines after my mother passed away when I was 17. I was declined due to being asthmatic. To this day… 42 years later… I feel a great sense of lose in my life… for both my mom and my missed opportunity to serve with the greatest military on earth. I thank each and every one of you for your service. Semper Fi.
i too was denied after having both high school JrOtc and 2 yrs of ROTC under my belt. i had broken up with a young woman who had cheated on me but 45 days later i was told i was going to be a father of which i had doubts was my blood. was denied because i was not married and had a child on the way. i tried 5 times taking the ASVAB(SP?) test and on the 5th attempt almost made it thru... so i felt very bitter i was not able to persue my lifes dream of serving... but i became a good father despite my ex's 20 yr attempt to make my life miserable. I admire and respect all branches of our military and in my heart know that i would have been a good soldier.
Denied USAF for the same reason in the mid 90s. Would have been cool to become an aircraft mechanic.
Haven’t won a war since 1945. Real dads stay home. Not go overseas to kill other dads.
@@bradleyandrew8971 Oh aren't you just precious.
@@DistendedPerinium American war machine is the ruling class recruiting the underclass using “watch cute family greet part time daddy and family slayer” films. This ensures military investments continue to fund ruling class extravagance and the under educated and under employed continue to enlist.
If anyone ever thought that a Marine doesn't shed a tear, I'm sure there were a few tears of joy amongst the rank and file that day. Semper Fi gentlemen!
As a former marine Sgt I loved this video. I loved serving. This must have been a real joy to have your daughter pin you. Simper fi.
Wow that made me smile that was so heart warming 😌💙
Made that kids day.
Elliot Hagen Made that Marine's day,also.

Good Job You Little One
I'm disabled Army and found this to be the best promotion ceremony I've ever witnessed. Thank you all, stay safe, stay frosty.
I will always love my brothers from other mothers who serve and protect our country!! I wish I could be with my brothers!
This is what we are fighting for our family and friends and we must not let them down when they needed us the most.and our country needed us we where there .
The smiles on their faces said it all.
Thank you, to all who have served.
Fantastic to see a young son promote huis father ,respect from the U.K
I am no fan of military, but this is a good reminder, that no matter "on what side you are on" there is always loving family waiting for their return.
i never get tired of watching these, that one will be hard to beat!
That was one of the cutest things I've ever seen
We used to call these Kodak moments. A mental image that stays in the memory forever.
