Thank you so much for your service. Word's cannot describe my gratitude. I enlisted in the Marine Corps as well and I can't wait to be able to join your ranks as a United States Marine. I've heard many infantry guy's say something to the extent of "I'm not a hero, I'm just a Marine" and I'm sure you sometimes feel like just a man, a Marine doing his job, but know to people like myself, you are a hero. Period. Selfless people like yourself give me hope and inspiration. Again, thank you for your service. America owes you and so many others a debt that will never be paid back, but know that one day your actions will be honored in a place with much more to offer than this world does. Semper Fi.

Kyle- The great legacy of our Corps rides proudly on the shoulders of warriors such as yourself. That, in itself, brings honor and tribute not only to you, but to those that instilled the values you hold; not just the DI's, but earlier, to your parents, mentors, teachers and friends. Add to that the tremendous character, power and spirit you have demonstrated through today is remarkable and inspiring. I will likely never have the opportunity to meet you, share a beer and tell tales. From afar, all I can do is say thanks, Semper Fi and ask that you share my thanks with your family for all they have done. Great job by them too!

I know that what I say has little weight, Cpl. Kyle and I know time has passed even though I'm just seeing this video, but please know that this old Marine Mom thanks you SO very, very much for all you have done and will keep you in her thoughts, even though you don't know me.

@Mr.Unclean534 4 года назад

In a time when all most kids seem to think about is how they're going to get rich or be a video gamer or whatever it takes a very good person to decide, "I'm not worried about getting rich and I don't want to sit around and get famous by playing video games. I'm going to wear the globe and anchor and take up the mantle of US Marine and do something for my country instead of asking what my country can do for me or sitting around on a couch pretending to be something." That alone is something, but to go down to the recruiter and sign up is truly something. Good luck to you and your son, and God bless. Same to all the other military members and their families, past and present, and to those who aspire to take their place amongst those who serve this great nation day and night, any time they are needed and any place they are needed and the families of those people who will someday be part of that same community. You are all in my prayers, and I am sure many others are praying for you as well.
