That speach from DeNiro can make a legless man go runnin

All young people of ANY race should know the story of this man. You can overcome any adversity if you want to achieve your goal. Chief Brashear, thank you for your service and your story.

This is the history of Americans that need to be taught in the public schools. A true hero and master of his own fate.

In Loving Memory Of Carl Brashear (1931-2006)

His only friend on the diving course of 1954 it was a brazilian officer that was interpret by the guy who stay on the room with him awhile the others left saying that they dont stay with negro at the same room. His name was Alberto Jose Nascimento.

RIP Master Chief Brasher You served as an inspiration to many. Thank you for what you did

Thank you master chief, i did a essay on you for black history month an it came in first place. R.i.P

I'm latino and Carl is my hero my god wgat a amazing human being I can't express what I feel about this man ....

Proud to have served with you Master Chief! Airman, 1981

master chief brashear was a true hero and a great American.plus a gutsy bastard.i have nothing but the highest respect for that man.rest in peace master chief

Whenever I need motivation, when I lack motivation, all I need to do is press play and watch "men of honor". This is truly an inspirational story. Whatever you do in life, whatever obstacles you face, it's best to keep your passion and goals in tact.

Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺… have watched the movie again , but this time also studied his biography…Amazing hero of heroes and a True inspiration of a real Man that overcame 10 fold more obstacles than most of us combined. . May 2022 @1300 ON THE MOVE

Mater Chief Brashear,USN THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. THANK YOU FOR BEING AN AMERICAN HERO.

When my first son is born, I will tell my son the beautiful story of Master Chief Carl Brasher. I will inspire him to look up to this man as a hero and inspiration to always be the best and never give up. Thank You Sir

Настоящий и мужественный человек, пример настоящего воина, который не сдался и боролся до конца, и сделал своё дело! Покойся с миром легенда, ты настоящий пример , каким должен быть человек.

Many people don't know but the only friend than Carl has was a Brazilian

This is a hero. I don't care how Hollywood treated the story as you can look at the real story and see that Brashear is an inspiration to anyone. I just wish that I was as much a hero as he is.

This man is the toughest and hardest man ever, An inspirational story !

I can't get enough of this man's story.

Now that's a man.

The fact that he had to overcome because he was black is both saddening and maddening. But the fact that he overcame being an amputee is miraculous and heroic beyond belief.

That was a strong man. He was very determined,RIP

My deepest respect and admiration for this great man.

A great military man and an inspiration to all races, I wish I would have half of the resolve that chief brashear has.

When a person is set on achieving, only death can stop them. Man i feel so inspired.!! Some folks are truly built different.!

I’ll never forget your story Master Diver Brashears.

Had a chance to meet this American hero I was stationed at NDSTC Panama city Florida .I retired a Chief Boatswain mate I was not a diver but this Man was a inspiration to all men and women in the Navy ,God Bless Master Chief Master Diver Brashear rest in peace you have earned it

I can’t believe I’m watching the real hero. I found this video by chance. Such a legend

I am floored by the obstacles this man over came. Understand how dam had it is to become a navy diver let alone master diver regardless of who you are. If that wasn't dam near impossible add in all those who stood in his way due to racial ignorance at that time. To me the Black Americans who pushed all that shit aside and bulldozed their way to success are all truly heros. All of those whom I've met are not bitter over it in the least, I find that truly amazing. I can't imagine after having gone to war and upon my return having one of my brothers be told you can't sit in this bar and have a beer after fighting for this nation. By God if any of my men had been told that today we'd have taken the dam place apart. Seems so dam absurd cause trust me when the bullets start flying and it dawns on you these fuckers are really trying to kill you and your soliders (your family, your brothers) you do not give a dam what color he is only that he's there watching your 6 just as you watch his. History has proven Black American soliders are a force to be reckoned with and God bless'em.

I think even Jacques Cousteau even mentioned him too. Thank you sir. There is a special place in heaven for legends.

2:27 This film does not portray reality as it is not said that this short man on the left is a late Brazilian soldier named "Alberto José do Nascimento"

I wish I could have met him, it would have been an honor. R.I.P. Mr. Brashear!!! Love you.

There is people on this planet that makes one believe in Human race again ... This is what a person should be , not the winning pucks we have floating around this days ! Amazing Man ..

Thank you Master Chief Brashear for your Honorary Service to the US Navy and To our country! God bless you Sir!

to the family of carl brashear he was and still is a great warrior he never gave up on his dreams this nation today could learn a lot from his legacy from this citizen THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

This movie makes me sad and happy all at the same time .

One of the best films ever, made even better that's it's based on the life of a true warrior. Fighting to make personal and professional success. For all you kids out there.....this is the definition of a legend.

I was so proud of that movie and Master Chief! I am in Norfolk now, but not in the service any longer, BZ, Master Chief and RIH!

This is truly an amazing inspirational story of Carl brashear

A very inspirational man, his passion inspires me to follow my passion now. Though I’m not military, I still find inspiration in his true story

Thinking about you tonight, sir! You are an inspiration. Thank you for holding onto your passion and convictions. I hope I can raise my child to grow up and never give up. Thank you for being you.

I don't care who you think you are...race...rank...social status....you need to stand up and salute this man, for there are very few of his honor left in this world...............at least willing to show it!! THANK YOU SIR!!!

Только что посмотрела про него фильм.. советую всем!

True hero.

Carl brashier is the one who inspired me to be a scuba diver..the man is my hero and a legend

I have nothing but the highest honor and respect for this man he lost a leg and he still wanted to serve like I said I have the highest honor and respect for this man

Well, I guess there is something else to say: I don't think enough words, or the right ones, can truly define Carl Brashear's character. There was no "black card" to hide behind, no "I've been cheated, so you all owe me something":. Just guts, so that even the biggotts and his enemies eventually respected him. Great story, and a great movie. Best Cuba Gooding Jr performance, and one of the best Robert Deniro roles,in my opinion. Okay; now enough said on my end.

Seeing Carl walk through the crowd brought me to tears. What a man !!

In Memory Of Carl Brashear The First African-American U.S. Navy Master Diver. (Born: January 19, 1931 - Died: July 25, 2006)

In my eyes,this man is the king of encouragement,even over King David in the bible

To hear this American hero’s story just gives you chills. To not give up when so many times when many would have and should have he kept going. Years he fought not hours days or weeks years. It truly shows what a person is capable of doing if they truly put forth the effort. I wouldn’t have made it past the first denial letter. He is what every man should inspire to be.

Master chief🙏🏾 You Jane no idea how many black people in South Africa 🇿🇦 joined the navy after witnessing your life story in cinema... I have a friend that chose the Navy out on f school through your story. Funny thing is, we got the finest naval cadets we’ve ever seen “par exellance” 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

iI love this man 4 what he did no one will ever fill his SHOES

Thank you very much for your support and that is my granddad but died before I could even see him only my sister she is 14
