11 жыл бұрынMany people use Skype to stay connected with friends and loved ones. This is especially true for one deployed Soldier, Master Sgt. Marshall Rader, who didn't want to miss his son's oath as an officer and first salute to him on May 10, 2013.

This is what real Trooper does , we adapt , improvise , overcome , and succeed . Awesome way to be there for his son ! There is nothing better than to hear your father say " I'm proud of you son ! " Those few words he will carry for the rest of his life .

Incredibly NEAT moment, but the father saluted the son. The only enlisted member of the US armed forces who is saluted by officers is in the Navy.
@MidwestUTV 8 жыл бұрын
RIght, the father did initiate the salute, which is regulation. I am aware of what you're talking about but the father was an enlisted MSgt saluting his son who was deemed a commissioned officer. There's nothing wrong there.
@roberthudson1959 8 жыл бұрын
