hobojesus84 he paid forward!

hes already paid

@Ana María Lopez Teviño no problem. I'm not an American myself ( I'm from the UK) but 4 members of my family served in the military. I have immense respect for anyone that puts on a uniform.

That really hit me

He aboslutely has already repaid it. He signed that blank check that all of us who have served in the military have, the one that says "Up to and including my life", payable to the nation I serve.

I live down in Arizona and I watch these videos to regain my hope in humanity.

Seems like a wonderful place to work. Such a great and beautiful staff.

I would love to see that in person one day! That would be so amazing!!

I smell cap

Sanchez417 Amen! I could not have said it better myself. Sure ppl have the right to kneel during the anthem, but the only statement being made is a show of disrespect for those who fought for their rights.

Sanchez417 That’s very correct! That’s why it’s a sacrifice to Serve our Country! You obviously don’t do it for the money, nor the recognition, but because you love your country & your fellow man. This country is Free, Because of the Brave!

If we had to experience all with tthings that all Servicemen and Servicewomen

I was lucky to be in the Idaho Army National Guard, A Co. 2/116 Cav we deployed to Iraq in 2004 not too long after I had joined. I'd been in for about 3-1/2 years when the orders came down. When I went through basic training at Fort Knox, KY our drill Sergeants kept saying we'd be going, they were right. Honestly it was one of the best experiences, you learn a lot, you grow close to your fellow soldiers, learn trust, respect, courage, you do what you have to do. I think during the 12 years i was in the Army the best time other than deployment was the holidays. We'd gather up Christmas baskets made by the local food bank, and take them to families in town that were nominated for them. Most were families in circumstances where they weren't really making it, they could just barely make ends meet, we'd take gift baskets and help the Marines with Toys for Tots. I loved it, I wish I could just do that every day as a career, go around and give to those who need it. It was great to see how happy people were when we'd pull into their driveway in a HMMWV and bring them a Christmas basket full of food, then drop off presents for the kids. I've never seen so many kids so happy in their lives to get what they were given and never ask for anything. Our community was so supportive of us while we were deployed we never had to worry about anything, they had a group together that helped out each other. If something broke, needed fixed, yards taken care of, vehicles fixed, etc. they had a list of people in the support group to call to get them taken care of. It was like a huge family, we always had each other's backs, even our family back home had each other's backs it was amazing to see the team effort put together to make sure everyone deployed and at home were taken care of. It wasn't all fun and games, there were a lot of thing going on during our deployment that kept us on our feet, but we made it home, every single one of us made it home. I don't think any of us are the same as we were before but we all came back alive. Instead of a high school reunion I would love to do a Company Reunion of those who deployed from my unit. I think it would be awesome to do someday.

Amen!

That's what I say all the time, they risked their life for the country and if they make it back home they're just struggling like any other human being.... That's the little town where I live, all veterans and old people who served in the army and now they have no home, family and been treated like everyone else....

@@alexjames1681 I agree with you, they risked their life for our country that's why I really respect them. I have 4 brothers who are still in military service 2 of them in army ,1 a navy seals and a policeman.

We should be ashamed as a nation for this to be going on. Ashamed to the core.

melissa ann We should be ashamed as a nation to have our service veterans living like this , with nothing and still trying to look out for others. Ashamed. My daughter is a hororably discharged navy vet that doesn’t really want people out side of family and close friends to know this. We have several family members that served or are serving. A Navy/ Coast Guard family. Veterans living like that is outrageous.

Jujie Sy Praise to your family. Yours sound like ; veterans of the Navy(3), 2 still serving out of Norfolk, Virginia. And a deceased Retired Coast Guard (Chief,)Veteran . My youngest daughter included is is a honorably disabled Navy veteran.

Mats and hot coffee as well are good

Monty Leverett Yes agree. I am English and we are not so great either. Compared to other European countries

Monty Leverett __ Doesn't it though! Tragic

Monty Leverett right, this is so damn crazy. My heart aches, 😢😢😢😢😢

Monty Leverett , I read a few days ago that the Navy Seal who killed Bin Laden had to quit before retirement due to military injuries and became homeless. He didn't get paid for the bounty on Bin Laden's head. That should be a crime!!! Mind blowing and makes me angry and cry!!!

That is still happening, many veterans that have gone to war for the Criminals in the USA are struggling and some are homeless. The Government that sent them to fight a dirty war turn their back in their useful Idiots. That is democracy USA style for you.

It's ludicrous how much money men get to chase balls of varying sizes around various fields...meanwhile men who were often still teenagers when they were sent to a literal hellhole where they were handed guns and told to run up hills, shoot anyone they saw, run back down, wait, run back up the hill, repeat. Crawl through a swamp, sleep in a ditch, repeat. Then they come home with permanent injuries and trauma and are literally spit on by their fellow Americans and ignored by their government. Yay, America.

What it comes down to is greed because somebody out there will say these soldiers are not promoting in selling a Jersey and or getting over 80,000 in tickets in the stadium sold out & many & yes many more reasons

My thoughts exactly. We sat down and figured out how much we got paid per day while we were deployed to Iraq and it wasn't even minimum wage, more like less than $1/hour. People love their little 9-5 jobs but your military personnel are often out for 24+ hours at a time without a break, many times over. I know I was always pulling more patrols just so my fellow soldiers could get some much needed rest, I'd come back from a patrol and go right back out on the next one just so someone else didn't have to go...also helped pass the time keeping busy, not having the time to think about everything going on...but once you get back out of a combat zone and all that catches up with you its usually in the form of PTSD.

AMEN.....

Rest in peace Kobe and Gianna and all thoes involved

Suraj Lama Says an Indian, Do nt get angry, mei bi Indian Hun,. Our Government is far worse than this bai

Suraj Lama Which once was a part of India. And btw Nepali Government is far worse than Indian Government 😂

Suraj Lama Haha. Yeah you are right Nepal wasn't part of India but it was a part of Sanatha Dharma. Haha what do they operate? By taking out the power for 16hrs a day? 😂😂. Atleast after we got Independence, we are the fastest growing Nation, and a country which was never colonized is sitting without power 16 hrs day😂😂😂

Fut Darkwater you Indians will never learn to accept the truth but will sit there and act pretend like nothing ever happened. Very typical.

I've been looking at the Military and it does seem they pay decently, but it seems you really have to save almost everything you earn when you are still serving. Ie save and invest in TSP / BRS while you're in. You can have a million or so in savings over a 20 year career.

Yes he was

Annointed One I

Lindsay E s

Beun007 yeah,,and i cant stop crying to see it.. 😢😢 speechless..

But, I think everybody who's struggling financially understands this...

Tina Winchester 💟💟💟

Caramel Delight it helps restore my faith in humanity. With all the horrible things going on in the world it's nice to see good things happening for deserving people.

Tina Winchester me too😭😭😭

Tina Winchester you're right.. watching them just got me soft.. In Nigeria data is expensive.. but I could not stop watching.

Yes especially at 1:54 this job is meant for that guy

Tell your Marine son .... Semper FI from a medical retired fellow marine brother.......and keep on defending to both ya boys (salute )

Advertisers, buy from the amazing companies who pay for this. Mention it when you do.

As a vet that is exactly when I started tearing up. “You’ve done it”

Nothing more heartbreaking than to hear a war vet homeless and frozen to death. Worst way to die is with an empty stomach and knowing the people you fought for was just passing by living their freedom.

@@rockydee7499 true..

He just saved $248+. Now that he has some extra groceries he has that opportunity.

@@bobbycratchet3958 that money I think he would save for the next time he needs them :) I dont think he is a man that normally gets good food, and maybe not even food every day.. So im just saying that if people in USA is so proud of their men in army, why on earth is some of them then struggeling to even live? Is that the thanks they are getting? "thanks for destroying you mind, snd having trouble every day... You are now on your own"... I dont get it-

@@bobbycratchet3958 he had enough money to buy 2 items only. He certainly hasn't got $248 for clothes or anything else. I can't believe I have to spell it out. It's tragic. Furthermore I'm sure with any extra he'd buy blankets to perhaps prevent the homeless freezing to death like his 3 brothers. This reminds me of Lazarus and the rich man.

Soo Kymbo YES
