Thanks for posting this great video.

I don't care who you are, you have to give ENORMOUS amounts of respect to that kid. I do not if it his parents served that caused him to invest time like that or what but that kid had great resolve for such a young age. Very self driven and self motivated. It reminds me of myself. He is going to be a great member of society.

All Western nations need to take a moment today and appreciate the sacrifices of those who made our lives possible.

parenting done right.

Kid has a greater understanding of what made, and still makes, this life possible than most of the adults I've ever met.

Kudos to him, and his parents.

I was watching this at work this morning and made it to the point where the bugler joins him on the beach. I had to stop it there and watch the rest later when nobody else was around.

Thanks for sharing.

Definitely a powerful video featuring an exceptional young man.

Let's also remember that 100 years ago today the Marines fought the battle of Belleau Wood which was the most violent battle for the Marines in our history at the time. Much of our reputation comes from this very battle which this article explains pretty well. It gets overshadowed by D-Day but they were both epic battles that shaped the outcomes of both World Wars.

World War I was an extremely bloody war, to say the absolute least. Millions of lives were lost. I thought I read all the famous battles of WWI but never read about this one. I just Wikipedia it and reading now. Thanks for the heads up.

It is where Marines earned the name from the Germans "Teufel Hunden" or Devil Dog.

Very interesting. What I read on Wikipedia too, which I had no clue about before, said "Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever" and "Retreat? Hell, we just got here" are all American quotes from that battle too. Good things to learn since I've heard them before and didn't know where they came from.

Yep! Those all get drilled into you at boot camp. It's probably the most famous and coveted battle in Marine Corps history, and a big deal when Marines go over to France and visit the area. From what I have been told is that the French people in Belleau Wood still show gratitude to the Marines that visit. Same goes for the military that visit Normandy Beach.

I am really thinking of incorporating some WWII landmarks in my wife and I’s Europe trip.
