@Gustave How about you move out of MY country then!!! You whinny pathetic civilians disgust me with your racisms and hate. Just admit it, you were never strong enough to serve.
My friend, Hank Cramer is currently getting ready to release his book on the first Green Berets in Vietnam. His father was Harry Cramer, first soldier- and first Green Beret to be killed in Vietnam. Hank followed in his father's footsteps- becoming a full bird Colonel in the Green Berets- and is highly decorated. Perhaps you would want to reach out to him for an interview?
It happens I didn’t have anyone on family day, some families can’t afford to fly or really don’t have a family but I’ve seen other families tap a person out that’s not their child so they don’t stand all alone.
Reminds me of my father and I. He served 4 tours in Iraq when i was a teenager. I went into the army right out of high-school, and my father was able to come back from deployment for my basic training graduation. As a full bird Colonel he walked up to our formation, (every one was looking nervous seeing him, including the drill sergents) and gave me a hug. Few times I've seen my father cry.
In total agreement with both statements. Proud of both of you and you do look like you are in your 20s. But most importantly, thanks for your honor, commitment, and service to family, country, uniform, and flag.
I've actually seen it happen as well. A guy in my unit was just informed of his mother's death. We were already past basic and were in advanced training for paratroopers learning jumps for a month so it was a bit more relaxed. So this guy gets told by a female luitenant colonel of his mother's passing. I saw him break and kind of like shrink a few cm it was a weird sight but this high ranking officer goes into a hug and they go down to the ground together and she's just sitting there hugging a recruit. Honestly I never expected to see something so heartbreaking but also heartwarming at the same time. I was only allowed to be there because he was both my best friend and also battle buddy. He actually got some time off to compose himself. Now 2 years later he is great friends with that officer.
The day I finished boot camp my 40 yr retired dad in his uniform with all the hash marks was aloud to march out and salute me was the best day of my life. Thank you both for yours. Keep you six down come home to a greatful country.
After reading the title, my impression was: "Maybe something like the Queen's Guard that did salute for the lil' toddler in his toddler-sized Queen's Guard uniform. Anything from "awe" to "wow" - I'll be fine. How little I knew... them saluting for each other with that background, consisting of 120% of Happy End.
My husband was a veteran & I’m still proud of him today even though he’s no longer with us as my brother retired from the navy. Miss them both. Still blubbering over this video. Proud mother & son💕💗🥰❤️💜
I had this same experience with my stepfather who raised me since I was 5. He was a full bird captain in the navy at the time I graduated from bootcamp. I will never forget it!! When I was a kid I asked him how funny it would be if I ever had to salute him. I asked him if he remembered that. He did. Good job guys!!
As a Brit, can I just say that I love how the public says "thank you for your service". I've seen loads of homecomings and so often a complete stranger thanks them for their service. This is an awesome habit and one the rest of us should take up immediately. USA leads the way on their appreciation shown to their troops. Respect to all.
@@traildogisla prolly cuz Europeans are a bit more modest(?) Or lets say they don't exaggerate as much (even tho I think on this particular level it's fine)
Hello I’m a daughter of a veteran and I just wanna say thanks for making this video! His name is Scott and I miss him so much he went off duty due to the covid 19 crisis and I just wanna say that I miss him very much and I love him Love, from a daughter of a veteran
Why do do you comment that here. Go tell him yourself why should we care. Its like me saying "hey mom love you and uncle bobby youre a great man. And of course ant anny, love the cake you Made Last friday" its just so weird to me.
@@MrMrbobo46 Well for goodness sake’s if it’s so weird to you just let it go, read something else watch a different video but you don’t have to put a damper on somebody else like that that’s so rude. OK so we get it you don’t really care about her but why would we care about the video we just watched either isn’t that weird to you too? What are you doing on here just showing unkindness. I feel sorry for you, But whatever is wrong that’s bothering you go out on your back porch and scream at the wind instead of being unkind to somebody who’s just sharing a bit of her heart. Good grief!
These two know more about the words "respect and honor" than the majority of the generations today. These two take pride in serving their country, while the streets are full of those wanting to destroy it. Thanks for sharing this inspiring video. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
What can we as civilians say? You make all of us so awe inspired and grateful. American pride radiating upon you and your family from our humbled selves.
This is such a sweet story. So grateful to them all. But I felt so sorry for all the ones who didn't have anyone, still just standing there at attention. :(
You are loved!! Did you know that someone died for you? That you are loved that much? ua-cam.com/video/AbhKu8n7eho/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/K48-Li7lIfA/v-deo.html
Congratulations Captain! I’m envious, but happy you are able to live that passion for military service. I received a medical separation after being diagnosed with T1DM some 37 years ago. I have never been able to find the passion I felt in the Marine Corps, in anything else I’ve done. Live it proud.
What a beautiful story and moment for Mother and Son. I am 3rd generation Military in my family. WOW!! This moved to tears! Let's keep that between us😂
My uncle, who was a brigadier general at the time, showed up unannounced at my Air Force Basic Training graduation. We were all just packing our gear in the dorm shortly after graduation when we heard the dorm guard yell loudly, “officer on deck!” You should have seen my MTI’s face when he saw a general walk right by him. As my uncle walked towards me, I was so proud. When he walked up to me, I saluted him, he saluted me, and I gave him my reporting statement. He said, “at ease”, and then we hugged it out. Anyone heading to USAF BMT who has a senior officer who might show up for graduation, might want to give their MTI the heads up. It turns out, MTIs don’t like surprises, even after graduation.
This touch me deeply. My mom and I in the same boat in regards of having a child as a soldier. My mother didn't know she was pregnant during basic training. She had me right after landing at her first duty station. Mom was honorable discharge. But during her time 1977, you couldn't reinlist. So its great the military has change its ways. Congrats to you both and thank you for your service!
Oh you are worried for the poors soldieeeers some them are died , coz its the life but what about the SiOUX , CHEROKEE and the OTHERS AMÉRINDIENS💜their theory peaceful , cool languages, lessons , clothing , and food and they are devastated by the crap of assailants , settler , 8 millions Indians murdereds😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 the situation of them amerindiens tears me up 😢😢
This reminds me of a friend of mine. He told his dad he wanted to enlist and his dad told him if he did it better mean he was saluting his son. My buddy finished OCS and his dad, I believe he was a master sgt or SMaj, pinned on his butter bar and rendered his first salute. It was beautiful.

Your video gives me great emotions, thank you for that. Wish you more success!
Watching other airmen stare at them I couldn’t help but hope that everyone of them had someone show up to see them graduate. 🙏🏼
Armando Estebes it makes me sad :( I always get scared that they have no one there to tap them out
in sure that some didnt
2 guys in my flight didnt have anyone come. Its honestly weird that family wont go.
It happens I didn’t have anyone on family day, some families can’t afford to fly or really don’t have a family but I’ve seen other families tap a person out that’s not their child so they don’t stand all alone.
I think about that all the time which makes it more emotional when they do get tapped out.

Eric I thank both you and your dad for your faithful service to our country! 🇺🇲
I'm sorry I meant to Zachary
Awesome story!
I could only imagine. I remember standing there.....that had to be the coolest thing bro.....having your Dad, a full bird, be there....
How clean his salute was damn
no name that’s that fresh out of bmt crispness.
You can freaking cut butter out of it
@@RandomGuys_ 😂
I noticed that too. Well spotted.
@@Fleshox19-uz3qt thanks mate
Ma’am you look like your 20!! You are blessing and I thank you and your son for your service.
She really does!
You’re too kind! Thank you 😊
In total agreement with both statements. Proud of both of you and you do look like you are in your 20s.
But most importantly, thanks for your honor, commitment, and service to family, country, uniform, and flag.
The only way a recruit can give a long hug to an officer and not get court-martialed over it!
Ha ha ha Now THAT was a funny post, Sir! Ha ha ha 🤣

"Aloud" did he scream at you? or do you mean "Allowed"
I thought this was a simple one I could watch without crying...now I can't find the damn tissue. You got me again!
Lol...Not! They got me again too...
I'm a man...I cried.
After reading the title, my impression was: "Maybe something like the Queen's Guard that did salute for the lil' toddler in his toddler-sized Queen's Guard uniform. Anything from "awe" to "wow" - I'll be fine.

Stupid onion cutting ninjas
He is so PROUD of his momma.... Thank you BOTH. For everything. God bless
From across the pond and from an ex RAF serviceman, that was beautiful.
Imagine having to salut you mother when you walk past her “Goodmorning ma’am 👋”
"Goodmorning son 👋"
lol
I had to salute my sister, she was a major and I was a private

May God bless you maam.....
How are you a mother and a son you can’t be both

Amazing!!! Congratulations!
Seeing them together mother and son saluting each other was awesome. Thank you both for your service and your sacrifices
When I see moments like this it makes me cry with happiness I am so proud of you and your son
Ohhhh...what a wonderful mother and son relationship, so sweet.

Plenty of active British service people think it's abit OTT when done here
@@traildogisla yeah you could be right, thinking about it....
Thank you Ali. I was recently deployed and had the honor and opportunity to work with some members of the Royal Air Force!

Thank you so much!
I was in holiday in Miami from Scotland a few years ago and gave a couple of American veterans a British Army salute. They were well pleased.🇺🇸🇬🇧
Nothing like the bond between a mother and her son! I salute you both, and thank you
