Quite honored to have served in the marine corps once a marine Always a marine Semper Fidelis

From a Navy Corpsman, we always say"God Bless the Marines." We will always work to save and rehabilitate you to your loved ones at home.

Am a Kenyan Police Officer. This ceremony is just great. I love the American Military. The music reminds me when I used to play Euphonium, Trombone, Baritone and Connect in the Administration Police Band Kenya. I really have great respect to the Marines. Semper Fidelis!!!

50 years ago, I was young, cute and small. My friends and I quickly learned to go to a bar Marines liked. We had a good time with scrupulously polite men who would tuck us into. Cabs. Marines are GREAT.

as a former active duty marine i have never had the opportunity to witness this in person ,,but i gotta tell you this gives me chills and brings a tear to my eye with every note,,

I am proud to be an American, however, I would have never been able to live to the level or perform to the level that this man has demonstrated in the reality of war. He has taken his position among all of the heros of the past (known and unknown) who have served this country at the level he demonstrated. I am honored just to have witnessed this ceremony. He has reset the bar for giving to others at the risk of his own life. No man can give a greater gift to his fellow man than such an act. May God bless him and all he loves. He now enters the the hallowed halls of all of his predecessors and those sure to follow. He has become an iconic symbol in his performance in preserving my freedom.

My great grandson just graduated from Boot Camp and is now a full fledged Marine!! God bless him and all our Marines, past and present! I am so very proud!!

Being a former active duty Marine and always a Marine and having a Marine son I’m so proud of all Marines past, present, and future.

I stand humbled by real men, you men.. god bless all of you

I once met a Marine who was standing in a battalion at Marine Barracks Washington for Cpl Kyle Carpenter's Medal of Honor ceremony, I couldn't even imagine the tremendous honor to be at such an historic event! Semper Fi Marines!

Makes this old Marine proud to see my brothers honoring this Marine. Semper Fi Sgt. Meyer.

AWESOME!!! I'm totally speechless!! As a young Marine I could only dream to see a Medal Of Honor recipient.. Now I have and he's my brother as all Marines are!!! Semper Fidelis!!!

Americans work together. Thank you Decota, semper fi, always faithful.

His Book ; To fully understand , I felt I needed to read his book . Absolutely amazing... I started reading and literally finished in one sitting. It will absolutely touch every emotion you have ... must read !!! God Bless our USMC ..

Thank you Sergeant Meyer. God bless you and your family.

Thank you guys for defending my rights and the constitution!!!!!!!

Awesome. Left me speechless and extremely proud to be an American. God bless the armed forces of the United States of America.

Just an awesome moment for everyone to salute Marines and veterans for their service to this great nation. Semper Fi

I have to say this," All Marines are Men." I wanted to be a Marine,but I was 5'2" tall,wt 110 lbs. The recruiter talk to me like a man ,He said,Can you pick me up from the floor and carry me out of harms way? I said, I don't think I can do that. He told me that No Marine is left behind, go to the nearest gym,work-out every day for a year,come back and I will make you a Marine. I join the Army. God Bless the Marine Corp.

Puts a lump in my throat. Reaffirms my faith in this nations people. When we are surrounded by the spoiled, pampered and selfish I can look at this and realize that the concepts of Honor & Integrity still exists for many of us. This young man (along with the Privates in the background) are perfect examples of this. A life long honor well desearved and honorably earned.

man these drill movements are so sick, gives me goosebumps, brings back fond memories of being in the corps

God Bless United State's Marine's..🇺🇸🌏🌎🌍🇺🇸🎀 Thank You all for Your Wonderful Service..

God Bless every single one of you. All our Members of our Nations Uniform Services!!!!!.

The precision, the pride of every marine shows! I almost enlisted in the Corps in 1970 despite there being a very gruelling conflict in Vietnam, and despite being a Canadian living in Canada. Didn't make that choice and regret it! To be a brother in the best brotherhood in the world would have been reward in itself! I hear that United States Marines guard heaven's streets! I'm ready to go to heaven's boot camp so I can wear the Eagle, Globe and Anchor and stand my post! Oohrah! Semper Fi, Marines.

This is very impressive, thank YOU! GOD bless the United States and the Marine Corp. And keep and bless Sgt. Meyer! GO Marines....... Now that is a drum line!!!!! U.S.A.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God save America! This music is beautiful. I never thought I would say that about the Marines. But I did and it is! Thank you ALL............

Watching them come down centerwalk brought back a lot of memories. Miss those days. Semper Fi! 1999-2001 Co. A 2nd Platoon. Earthpigs!

Motivating. Makes me even more proud to be a Marine. Semper Fi Sgt Meyer.

My son and daughter- in -law know Sgt Dakota Meyer and when my son became a Marine she tweeted about it and tagged him on 9-3-2013. He Rt it and told her he would have come had he known. He’s a great Marine and that showed me he is a good friend as well.

tysvm for sharing, our heroes rarely get seen or heard!! Semper Fi.

Proud to be a american.USMC Band the best!!! Semper Fi! Happy Birthday Marines. 245 and getting better every Year. God Bless all my sisters And brothers!!!

Goosebumps every time I hear this🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🎊🎉🎊🎉

Our Brothers and Sisters who gave their last full measure, as long as one Marine draws breath, neither they, nor their sacrifices, will ever be forgotten. Each observance of these sorts, are but a reminder to us all, of who they were and what they did. They are not forgotten. I am Older Corps...

GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATE'S MARINE CORE'S..THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WONDERFUL SERVICES..🇺🇸🌎🌏🌍🇺🇸🌹

The snap of the rifles, the shouted commands, the line of Marines in blues, the music, the pass in review, the thrill of victory and the angoy of the loss of comardes. !!!!!

Awesome video. Much respect to Sgt Dakota Myers and our men and women in uniform.

Thank you Dakota Myers for your service to this country and for keeping it safe for family friends you are a great inspiration to these young men and women who want to be in the military

I HONER YOU ALL THANK YOU MY HEART IS RIGHT THERE WITH U AND THE FIGHTING ONE

It's refreshing to hear patriotic music played the way it should be played.

Watching this gave me chills! And I am originally from Panama. Now a naturalized US citizen and very proud. Would have gave up anything to join the Marines. Maybe in my next life as the years have now caught up with me and disqualify me to join. Can't wait though.......

still bangin' butts! 8th & I -- 65 - 69. Sgt Meyer, I salute you. By the way, great last name -- Cpl. Rich Meyer

God bless The Marine Corps god bless to all

God bless our Marines.

What a tear-jerker.... Semper Fidelis.

United State's Marine Corps..God Bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸🌹🇺🇸🇺🇸

UNFORTUNATELY....THE TERM.....HERO....IS USED LOOSELY THESE DAYS! TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ....NO IDEA....WHAT A HERO IS!! SGT. MEYER IS.........A TRUE HERO.........BY DEFINITION!!!! GOD BLESS!!!

I'm so proud to be from Washington, DC (and also USAF vet)

Thank you for your service!!!!!!!!!!

"Once a Marine always a Marine."

Semper Fi Sgt. Meyer. I hope to be half the Marine you are some day.

it is so awesome to watch them come marching out!

Makes me proud to claim the title!

As a European it heartens me to see the elite of the nation, whose very birth signified the end of tyranocracy, in the garb of feudal slave soldiers. Contradictingly, it shows that the spirit of freedom is alive and well. Tak!

I work here! God bless you Sgt. Dakota!

To all my Brothers and Sisters, Semper Fi. OO RAH !! 💪😊😊👍

You got to love this stuff!!!

I LOVE THIS! SEMPER FI...

I always proud my son in law hi service for our country marine always marine 🙏🏼

Semper Fi Sgt. Dakota OOORAH

OMG!! How is it I only just found this on KZfaq?!! :) Thanks Marines at 8th & I!!

My son is a Marine, about 20 years now. He had the chance to join the Marine Corp band playing trumpet. He turned it down. I ask him why he didn't do it. He said:" I didn't join the Marine Corps to blow my horn".

Proud To Have Served Semper Fi.

thank you for your service and welcome home!

Best Video on You Tube !!! This Video is about to go VIRAL !!!

All those medals the generals are wearing don'y hold a candle to one MOH!! And THEY have to salute HIM!!

Dakota Meyer is the man...pure and simple. SF

Never forget

I am not a Marine, but have the greatest respect. I believe one of their latest battles was with the last president, who I think didn't give a damn about them, but the Marines survive as they have done for more than 200 years. I thank God we now a have man who I believe will cover your back and not hinder you in battle, but hopefully give all you need to defend our country. Semper Fidelis Marines. I thank God for you.

amen to the us marines i who i honer god bless amen

The Marine Corps Band is made up of talented musicians. They request an audition, pay their way to that audition, and either pass or fail. That is the Presidents Own. It doesn't matter why you joined,you joined. You didn't sit at home on your backside. You were there making us proud of your contribution as a "Master Musician", proficient in several instruments... and bringing tears when "The Hymn" is played. Serve with pride and honor.

Sgt Dakota Meyer represents what is true in every fighting man the courage honor and commitment to all branches of the services including forign allied forces Semper Fideles Sgt Meyer!

My brother told me he was honored to have earned the title United States Marine and now I finally see and know why .......

"Get off the General's Lawn!" Screamed in my head seeing them on it. I remember in Afghanistan there was a rectangle of real grass that was watered and maintained and if you weren't the general or God himself and you stepped on it, you better have your coffin pre-ordered.

8Th & I, Hdqts Marine Corps, Washington, D.C., Thanks for the memories! Good Night Chesty, Semper-Fi.....Redd............

I watched it all. God bless America!

SEMPER FI to all Devil Dogs past and present. former LCPL Patrick McBride

Dakota Meyer. Dakota Louis Meyer (born June 26, 1988) is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and the War in Afghanistan. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Battle of Ganjgal on September 8, 2009, in Kunar Province, Afghanistan.

Ah 8th and I.....home of the 19th century Marine musketeer

Semper Fidelis, Marines. You make great Americans like Sgt Meyer.

My step dad joined up December 8th, 1941 from Weslaco Texas, where a year or so later another Weslaco High student would follow in his steps. They met up again on Iwo where my stepdad received his 2nd Purple Heart and a Bronze Star. His junior classmate, Harlan Block would be forever captured in history as 1 of the flag raisers. My dad fought from Guadalcanal to Okinawa, leaving the Corps in 46 as a Gunny. He had 3 Purple Hearts, 2 Bronze Stars and a Silver Star. He always kept a small poorly made U.S. Flag in a frame in my parents bedroom. I remember that beside being poorly made it had dirt and what l learned was blood, his blood. When I asked about it, here's his reply. " That is a very special flag, its not made right, but, ever star, every stripe on it was shown by a man, who if it had been discovered would have been executed. The man was a village elder on an island in the P.I. chain of islands. He made it during the Japanese occupation of his Island, he made it for his family, for his village, as a symbol of Hope and freedom, because he knew, one day the Americans would come back and drive out the village's tormentors. The dirt, sweat and blood were all my dads,He carried it in his breast pocket over his heart. He's been gone for decades now but his legacy lives on through my my 2 grandsons and 1 daughter who all served in the Corps, the Best, the Finest. United States Marine Corps. Simper Fi.

Marines, never missing an opportunity to look sharp!

Most people forget, look how many have forgotten why we're at war now. Thanks for remembering, thanks for becoming a Marine. I remember when that happened my father, a Vietnam Vet, telling me - your generation is going to have to fight these idiots. He was right.

God, Country, Corps! SEMPER FIDELIS FOREVER! God bless America and God bless President Trump and his family always! And with four more years! OOHRAH!

Semper Fi. this motivates me even more.

God bless all of you

An inspiration to all.

this drill is too awesome

Happy 236th Birthday Marines!

I didn't hear this on the news. This is of great importance to me and our nation. With the polotical slinging going on this should hav etaken place while the debates were on going. Semper Fi Sgt Myer. Gods speed fairwinds and fallowing sees in whatever your undertakings bring you.

Instead he became a plane captain for F-18 & now F-35's. Am I proud of him ? YOU BET!!!

True Marines fear little but we respect our corpsmen...
