New Title: Florida Man serves four combat tours, joins the newly formed Marine Special Operations Command, kills HVT's, Overcomes PTSD, and Goes on the world's greatest fishing trip.
Shawn lays it all out on the table, giving true warriors a platform to tell their stories so people can hear and learn from. This is what we need as there are so many out there who have and are currently putting it all on the line. TEAMS!!!
My son is a MARSOC Raider and he never says shit about what he does and watching this video really awaken me to the things they go thru he has been in the same amount of time as this hero! All I can say is WOW ! Thank You for all you did !
All I know is don't go MARSOC Raiders my son says you have to do a lot of schooling every year that you're not deployed and mandatory classrooms for what they do! He has been in 19 years I think he's done 12 or more deployments. Not all 9 months but a lot of them are 6 months !
Absolutely addicted to this show. These real life stories are mind-blowing and surreal in a sense. The more I watch the more proud I am to call America my home. Thank You Warriors. You are real life Super Heroes!
Coming back to this after the newest release with Nick. It's insane how much can change in 2 years, from the production of your show to the life this man now leads. God bless you Shawn.
Somehow I just recently stumbled upon SRS. Man I gotta say each episode just keeps getting better. Thank you Shawn Ryan for what you have done, what you do and giving all of us the opportunity to hear these legends.
Shawn Ryan is in my opinion one the best interviewers around. He sits down in a Studio that feels like a living room and talks to people like an old friend! He has been there done that and it takes a true peer To talk to these guys!
His interviews have opened my eyes to understanding my dad n Uncle better.they wouldn't watch the old war movies or talk about what they had seen and gone thru.
@Double Tap I'm not that sad. I think it's self-correcting. Something is going to come in and take out all the weaklings and there won't be any "safespaces" to run to. And then things will return to mostly normal. The thing about strong people, is that they can take a complete mess of a country and bring it back on track. What's the saying? Good times create weak people create bad times creates strong people create good times.
Consider having them sign/autograph the chair. They mention how they feel honored to sit in the same chair as the others when really each are amazing as the other. The Chair will be a great memory when it is covered with autographs of American Heros and the stories that were told from it. Just an idea from their conversations.
It’s not about the chair. It’s about paying respect to Sean Ryan. It’s about the respect he shows them, and the spotlight he shines upon these brave warriors.
@@petemitchell6788 Well, we know at least one person totally missed the message of Shawn's Channel. It's obvious that you never served, but I have to ask, how old are you?
I think a show like this should be required for every American at age 16. I know that is young but I and non serving members of the US needs to understand this. I have never been in a restaurant with any service person(I have to identify them, hat uniform or whatever) and not tried to pay for their meal. I am not a rich person and I live paycheck to paycheck. This I feel is my duty! I want to thank all the vets out there for their sacrifice!
My old man was the same way. Never heard him talk about his tours in Vietnam. Just one time when he was extremely intoxicated. And that story will be between him and me forever. He was a man's man. He loved to cook out and drink beer outta a cooler with ice . Never knew he was a Green Beret until my uncle's told me things about my dad. I miss him everyday.
Have a green beret uncle, tough sob. Never complained, took care of his son's & baby momma daughter when they couldn't because of drugs. I found out through work that he was SF in Vietnam. He never spoke about it
I`m from Europe. I sub to Vigilance Elite because Shawn has no BS on his shows, and is a better interviewer than most mains stream media hosts. Bringing us real stories from real men and woman. Cheers Shawn, keep them coming, and thank you for your service....
I've been in the corps for a few years now. MARSOC marines are legendary and I have a Raider patch that I look at everyday to realize how easy I have it because of this marine.
I love listening to these guys' experiences. My nephew was in both Battles of Fallujah as a corpsman. I remember picking him and his friend up in Twenty Palms when they returned after 14 months. I took them out and bought them both a steak dinner and some beers. It was good to watch them enjoy it and to welcome them back home. I have much respect for these combat veterans.
My father in law was a gunny, saw action in Korea at Chosin Reservoir, did some shit. Raised a family of girls. Did his job well. Took care of his Church for decades. One of the finest and kindest men I have ever known. Oh, and he was a real Spartan Greek with a Spartan wife. 300. Semper fi, Dad. Nothing but respect for these guys.
This is a killer podcast. The Marine Corps is something special. We can only explain in words but the Corps is the ultimate adventure. It all about our legacy and tradition.
This is by far one of the best soldier stories I've ever heard. So much appreciation for our warriors. These guy's should get the recognition pro athletes get. Thank you brother!
hell man I always got along with the Seal's when deployed. We operated quite often with seal teams in Iraq and always were professionally and cool as can be.
I was in the Corps and never in combat even before MARSOC the Marines were and still are the best force in readiness in the world the roles were completely different I think MARSOC was needed but I sleep better at night knowing the SEALS are out there protecting the flock EVERY man and woman in uniform are vital and necessary and above all appreciated thanks to all who serve and have served God bless the U.S.A.
Marines are pretty much SEALs with way less funding and way less opportunity for training, but they get even more action and area just as aggressive if not more aggressive than SEALs
@@PermanentHigh I was in the Marine Corps and I disagree. I believe that Marines as a whole are very well trained to the best of the Leaders appointed to each Battalion, Platoon, Squad, etc...But I do NOT believe that Basically Trained Marines could even come close to Seal Training! All the Marines I have ever been around, with the few exceptions here and there, are all highly motivated and ready to get some, myself included! And I am proud and truly honored to have said that I was a part of that at one point in my life. I would NEVER compare myself to someone with such an Honorable and Admirable career such as Mr. Shawn Ryan himself, or any of his counter parts! Semper Fi Shawn! And as Always, Thank YOU for YOUR service brother! 😊👍🇺🇸
Shawn needs to get on JRE. Guys like him, Mike Glover, etc are the kind of perspectives the country needs right now. Or a podcast with Jocko would be badass. Imagine that going like... Jocko - "Good" Shawn- "Roger that". Podcast over. 10 million views. Corona goes into remission.
@OUR Republic- Never Give In Joe's a pretty level headed dude though. Politics aside, he's got a huge platform. Guys like Shawn could reach an insanely large audience. Would be great for Shawn, Nick, Mike, Travis, etc stories/mentalities to be shared with that many people. Would educate millions of people.
I'm watching all of your shows starting from number one after I watched the interview with Cody and heard his story. I'm not military but I think you and everyone you have on your show for your service and I'm very grateful. I don't care if they're 6 hours long you got me and honestly man I'm an accountant so my time is pretty costly. you're that good!!
Thank you for everything you sacrificed for country and for us civilians. As a father with a young Marine just starting his career it’s enlightening to hear your stories I’m glad to hear that you came out of the side happy unsuccessful.
I was at the Pentagon on 9-11as a fairly young FF/Paramedic. I respect everything you guys do for our country. My son, my 9-11 baby created while on stress leave from the Pentagon, goes to Parris Island in September. I will show him this Video. The first and foremost thing he ALWAYS says is: its payback for you Dad and what happened to you on 9-11.
This intro is simply outstanding. I just want to say as a Marine pog0 my "sf" friends always gave us mad respect for our Marine Corps operational tempo supporting the division etc. Getting trigger time as a transportation marine was crazy. Especially when guys in Coronado Island are intently listening to my story in late 2004, over some beers post "cheetahs" Whoah. They're like man that's crazy. I appreciate the admiration and professionalism from tier 1's and elite warriors. Super humbling. I met Chris Kyle in Dallas just before I went away to "grown up timeout" again another exemplary leader who treated me with the upmost respect and dignity. I will aways be biased and feel that Marines in combat are killers. I watched the division in 2003 from Nasiriyah to Tikrit, 2004 Ramadi/Fallujah, 2005 Syrian boarder, Haditha dam. Hard chargers! Gung Ho M'effers. This show is ABSOLUTELY #1 Thank you brother.
Nick, thank you so much for your service and telling your story and experiences. Prayers for your son. Blessing that the doctor looked into your record and started the process to diagnose TBIs. Thankful that you are getting the word out. Will help so many people that experience the same symptoms. Keep getting the truth out, Shawn. btw--my brother is a Vietnam Vet, Navy Corpsman, I was born April 1969 & he was on his 3rd tour - got shot by a sniper in Aug 1969, got purple heart, survived and was back to Saigon in a year; 20 years difference btw me & him so we weren't close and he had (has) same mannerisms as your step father, isolation, darkness, never talked about it, later diagnosed with PTSD. Sign me up if there are ways I can help our military that suffer from it.
Holy shit! This vid has really opened my eyes and actually give me alittle scare. I have a lot of the same feeling. I think I may need to look into treatment. I’m a marine vet, 2003 in Iraq. This vid really hit home. God bless both of you. Shawn keep this up man. You are making a difference. Semper Fi
I think it's extremely important for guys like this to talk about being down, and contemplating ending their lives. And the end result of carrying on and making it onto the next step- the sunrise after that darkness
Mr. Kefalides. I really appreciate how humble you were in this interview! I am a Veteran also. Hope you and your son are doing great. Mr. Ryan. Love how you keep it real man. You are definitely a no nonsense type of man. I know this will sound like B.S.! But I feel like I know you better after having listened to you in your videos and podcasts. Even though I have never met you. Stay strong and healthy. Hope you and your wife are both happy and enjoying your lives. Take care. "Vigilance Elite" He'll Yeah!!
Hearing him talk about mental health helps a lot. I haven't been in combat or through nearly as much as he has but hearing him speak on topics like depression makes you feel not alone.
I had a handful of friends that deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. My dad deployed for both Desert Storm and Shield but these interviews also show the sacrifice they give to be the absolute best of the best. Modern day GLADIATORS! People need to hear the sacrifice these men give of themselves so we can walk around and do what we do over here because of the things these men did over there for us! Thank you men for everything!!!
Jay that’s where the importance of being a silent professional comes into play. Operators these days have a massive craving for being a badass in the eyes of as many people as possible. Unfortunately, as a result, lots of info and tactics are available to the wrong people.
Dude this man is an absolute beast of a man who loves his country, his son, & gotten thru so much stuff in life! Thank you for your service sir! Youre an absolute hero in my eyes!!!!
This was my favorite interview yet! Nick you'll probably never read this but Thank you man. From an everyday guy with a 8-5 job and a wife and kids, I cant thank you and others enough for all the sacrifices you've made and continue to make. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family! Thanks
Amazing story. You guys are the best of this generation. Former marine 1 bn 9th marines walking dead Vietnam 67-69. Great to see the heroes that followed us. Amazing men. Semper fi.
Of all the men that I've met that have done amazing things for this country I wish I spent more time with them after watching several of these episodes. You're helping these people and this cause so much
As a former Marine with a combat tour in Iraq I really enjoyed this interview. Thank you gentlemen for your service to our great country. Peace and long life to you both. Semper Fi.
Its so messed up hearing about IED makers freely traveling across the border to Iran. They basically keep their important bomb makers and IED materials out of country because American forces can't go into Iran to stop them. Also it's sickening that Iran allows the terrorists to operate within their country without consequence. It proves that Iran is backing Al Qaeda and isis to cause disruption and evil acts of terrorism to help keep those 2 neighboring countries from growing big enough to cause Iran any issues
This platform is so necessary. Thanks to Shawn and his team we're able to hear stories from these incredible warriors that we probably would of never gotten a chance to hear. I'd imagine a lot of these men don't share their story with just anyone. Since Shawn himself is such a badass in his own right it makes them more comfortable and open to talking about it. So thank you Shawn for everything you did before and everything you continue to do!
I got huge respect for guys like this. Its ashame they fight there ass off go through literally hell. For them to come home and deal with this mess here in the states they playing. Awesome Patriots like this deserve better.
I APPLAUD you Nick, for Your Bravery, Your Sacrifice, & for Your Ability Not To shut down like the OGV Vets !! Thank you for Your Sincerity & having the Ability to help others, Old & Young that Have been, & are in Your Situation!!! 👏🏽 BRAVO 👏🏽!!
God has truly Blessed us Americans with this Elite Hero. His calm mannerisms are ones to be envied after all that he has been through. It’s awesome when someone can use their pain to help so many others through theirs. Love his will to be a good daddy. Good hard working and very smart man. Thank you for another great episode Mr Shawn.
@@blackbeard0074 it'd be sweet. I love watching vets. There humor, mannerisms. Shawn Ryan is awesome he has this stream in the back of his house and he has alpacas. That lone survivor guy Marcus lattrel has giraffes. It's awesome and I love it.
I learned of Shawn on Megyn Kelly’s podcast & then listened to the incredible interview with her on this podcast. This has now become one of my favorite podcasts. I’ve started from the beginning and have loved every episode. Real life heroes! God bless you Shawn and the rest of our service men & women. Thank you for bringing these stories to us ♥️🇺🇸
This is better than entertainment. Something real and raw. Something this world lacks a lot of. I can’t get enough. It’s like listening to an audio book but all of your questions are answered because Shawn is an excellent host. Its natural and not read off a prompt. Just a great flow. Keep it up 👍🏼🇺🇸
Hell yeah! Been waiting on this one. Like I wasn’t waiting on the other 3 lol. I did 20 years deployed 11 times and STILL love to hear these stories! I didn’t do shit but it amazes me the caliber of men we have in this country.
Listened to your first podcast, 008 when you interviewed Eddie Gallagher. I’m a military history buff and am now hooked on your podcasts. Prior it was mostly just reading books or catching specials on tv. Thank you for your service to our country. Thank you for shining the light on those who’ve kept us free!
One of the best shows on the internet, hands down. You’re a very astute interviewer and I love that you don’t talk over your guests. Can’t stand it when people do that. You’re awesome man. Bless you.
A great friend of mine was MARSOC and suggested this episode to me. Hearing all of this seems insane that I know personally one of the dudes who got it on against the enemy to such a degree. From a young Scout who never got the chance to deploy, thank you both and your peers for all you did over there. I wish I could've had my chance, but I've accepted that I need to move on. Amazing episode gents. Keeping moving forward. Recon.
Shawn you have a genuine talent for finding the most brave men, and stories us laymen would never have imagined. Your interview dialogue is very intelligent and honest. Thank you for making this accessible to us.
My name is Dan and I just want you guys to know that I really Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done. Thank you Soldiers for your Service. Your video that I just watched really hit home what you have gone through. God bless you both and to all of the veterans.
I am a Retired Nurse , and I sleep better at night knowing I am protected by the finest Men in the world...The Military Men have our backs..n I give all them my respect..What a job to do...Awesome Men..Thank you from my heart..
These war heros are the individuals that society should look up to versus these snicthing a** rappers. Really about that life. Thank you Shawn for your commitment on educating us on the real ones.
Just finished watching this podcast of Nick and Shawn for the second time! The second time was even more enjoyable than the first! Thank you both for your service and sharing your stories! God Bless!
Dude I just stumbled upon these. Watched the ed Calderon episode . Keep em coming. Better than entertainment. With men like these we can sleep better at night. God bless America and thank you for your service guys 🇺🇲
"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem". Ronald Reagan. God Bless you! Thank you very much for sharing such fascinating stories!🇱🇷❤👊
Thank you both. Your courageous acts didn’t end when you came home. It takes real courage to open up and talk about the difficult stuff, especially this way. Your new chapters are going to be even better than the previous ones. Stay strong and welcome home gentlemen.
Shawn the more I watch your shows the more that I'm impressed . The respect you show for your guess is outstanding. Nick #3 Kefalides is one BADASS Marine , I'm so glad he has pulled thru and is married - happy and doing Great Things for our VET's . i'm looking forward to show #5 . Keep up with the work that you are doing .
Hey Shawn, I just found your channel and I love everything you represent bro! I got a couple of DUI’s as a teenager and was heading nowhere fast. My pops gave me the best advise ever when he told me to join the marine corps. It straightened me out and I am blessed to have served along Seal’s on a med float. You guys are the best of the best. I recently quit drinking at age 50. I feel fucking great and I love your videos. They keep me on the right path. I use my drive to keep going as a small biz owner. Barely made it out of H.S. But ended up building and later selling 3 trash companies to the big haulers. I owe a lot of this to my dad and the corps. We are crazy bastards, but the good kind of crazy! Keep doing what you do sir, because it means a lot to us old timers. We are growing soft as a country and need to take it back somehow. Semper Fi Shawn and safe travels.
that's cool but please don't leave RUclips . You will reach far more people with RUclips than Netflix cause I'm just being honest that alot of folk are not gonna pay for a Netflix subscription. with that being said I clicked to the link and typed Shawn Ryan Show in the box to show support always. I typed the Shawn Ryan Show in all 3 boxes shown. ☮️
My dad was a Vietnam combat veteran And after some decades finally talked a little bit about his experience. He was part of a strike unit with the Big Red 1, and before that had done some training in Alaska where he met my mom, an Inupiat native. There was the ptsd which maybe didn’t have such a terminology back then when I was a kid, his mentioning of being called certain things coming back stateside, they were even shot at on a train returning, etc.. Ptsd like me going to wake him up for dinner and him jumping up ready to fight, him in a moment of anger when I was a kid saying he’d killed more people than I’ve seen. Ptsd affects generations I think. Thanks to him and thanks to this channel for your service and for dealing with what it really means.
Putting all the service aside, hearing your story and struggle fathering your child, going through divorce, and your response to those difficulties, is one of the most inspiring things I've heard in a while. Thanks for the little 17 second teaser that was randomly posted today, I'm glad I heard the rest of Nick's story.
I have to give you and all your guests the utmost respect for you Shawn, and your interviews with the cream of the crop of MEN! They go through training to get broken down and build back up then step in right into battle Nicki Kefalides OUTSTANDING ! please tell Nick and his family much love & respect to them
My husband came home and was having the same mental/mood difficulties after he was discharged. I think this is very common, probably more common than not. It’s a very helpless feeling as a person that loves someone who is going through this, and watching them become so self destructive. My husband lights up around the guys he served with when they visit or talk on the phone. You guys have to stay in touch with one another. I’m going to pay for my husband and some of the guys he served with to go on a fishing trip with this guy for his birthday. My husband is out of the weeds for now but you never know who else is suffering.
You are so sweet 😰💐 Paying for a fishing trip for your hubby & his ex-military friends because he lights up around them in a way he can’t elsewhere? You’re a sweet person luv, stay this way 💐
I just want to thank all branches of the US military...I'm British but my fellow countrymen have fought and died in many foreign wars for a very long time now...thank you for your service guys 🇬🇧 🙏🇺🇸
I love watching these interviews, there interesting, entertaining, in very in your face real, I appreciate these heroes with a passion an can't thank them enough for all they've done an still do.. True Heroes God Bless You All Never Forget..
This interview was so damn good, loved every minute of it. So many vets can definitely relate to the transition from warrior to civilian, it's one the hardest things ever!
Ive been home 15 years now, drinking made all my shit pile up and made it impossible, i struggled the last few of 7 years out the Army to quit. Had 14 months off the bottle 3 months back now 5 months off, not turning back. Alcohol does NOT help. Im lucky to have had a few people pipe up later about it, I spent alot of time alone in that bottle too, i did learn alot of what not to do. Thank you Nick for youre service and youre continued service to our fellow vets welcome home.
I wish something like this had been available for my dad. Green Beret, 3 tours in Vietnam. He would have really benefited from these interviews. Once he separated he pretty much withdrew from society & struggled with being alone.
Next time you see your dad, please thank him for his service, and a welcome home for me. My grandfather was a Green Beret in Vietnam as well, I’m not sure as to the years. I know he volunteered to go back twice, he’s shared a few stories. Your dad may know him, SFC Hood. My grandfather is suffering from dementia, and things are not improving sadly. Lots of stories and memories are being lost to time. He was in for 27 years. Take care ma’am.
I have never been in the military, yet grew up in a military family who served in the second world war, and in Aden in 68. I really admire your guests who in my opinion, have been terribly treated by their own politician's and services.. Great interview, and an in depth look in to the real stories of those who defend the real higher ground and protect not only our countries, but lives of complete strangers. Thank you both Nick and Shawn for this incredible content 🙏
Men like this continue the legend of the Marines, and create the path we are required to walk. I was recently honored to work with a group of MARSOC Raiders, as a civilian contractor. I was stunned and amazed how humble, soft spoken down to earth they all were, it really took me back. Gunny Basilone is proud and pleased, as he looks down from his perch, Semper Fi P.S. Thank you Shawn, love listening and your style is perfect.
I’m hooked on this shit! You have a winner here Vigilance Elite. This podcast draws you in and I can’t stop watching. Iv always loved to listen to this type of storyline.

I like that title.
I think this is my favorite comment on here lol
Best comment for certain 💯🦅🇺🇸🦅
Florida Man, busy as usual.
@@nickkefalides6080 haha thanks Nick didn't expect you to see it
Shawn lays it all out on the table, giving true warriors a platform to tell their stories so people can hear and learn from. This is what we need as there are so many out there who have and are currently putting it all on the line.
TEAMS!!!
Thank you mr. 002
You're the man brother. Thank you for being on to support, means a lot to me. Cheers.
Your episode was badass! Really enjoyed it.
hell yeah
Damn right!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My son is a MARSOC Raider and he never says shit about what he does and watching this video really awaken me to the things they go thru he has been in the same amount of time as this hero!
All I can say is WOW !
Thank You for all you did !
I’m glad you were able to see this. Thank you for watching.
All I know is don't go MARSOC Raiders my son says you have to do a lot of schooling every year that you're not deployed and mandatory classrooms for what they do!
He has been in 19 years I think he's done 12 or more deployments.
Not all 9 months but a lot of them are 6 months !

Coming back to this after the newest release with Nick. It's insane how much can change in 2 years, from the production of your show to the life this man now leads. God bless you Shawn.
Somehow I just recently stumbled upon SRS. Man I gotta say each episode just keeps getting better. Thank you Shawn Ryan for what you have done, what you do and giving all of us the opportunity to hear these legends.
Thank you for tuning in and taking the time to listen and give your feedback. It is greatly appreciated! God bless!
Shawn Ryan is in my opinion one the best interviewers around. He sits down in a Studio that feels like a living room and talks to people like an old friend! He has been there done that and it takes a true peer To talk to these guys!
Thank you John. Are you the same John Riddle I think you are? Cheers brother.
Shawn Ryan and Mike Ritland. These dudes are exceptional.
His interviews have opened my eyes to understanding my dad n Uncle better.they wouldn't watch the old war movies or talk about what they had seen and gone thru.
“Be a good American”. Dang that is powerful right now. Best wishes to him and grateful for both these guys.
Hell yea!!!!The solution is that simple. “Be a good American” 🦅
@Double Tap
I'm not that sad. I think it's self-correcting. Something is going to come in and take out all the weaklings and there won't be any "safespaces" to run to. And then things will return to mostly normal. The thing about strong people, is that they can take a complete mess of a country and bring it back on track.
What's the saying? Good times create weak people create bad times creates strong people create good times.
I’m i
'Be a good, law abiding citizen of the united states of america' amen!

Consider having them sign/autograph the chair. They mention how they feel honored to sit in the same chair as the others when really each are amazing as the other. The Chair will be a great memory when it is covered with autographs of American Heros and the stories that were told from it. Just an idea from their conversations.
that's a solid idea!
I think that is a great idea. It could be a talking point as well
It’s not about the chair. It’s about paying respect to Sean Ryan. It’s about the respect he shows them, and the spotlight he shines upon these brave warriors.
@@petemitchell6788 Well, we know at least one person totally missed the message of Shawn's Channel. It's obvious that you never served, but I have to ask, how old are you?
@@petemitchell6788 the irony isn’t lost on your comment especially when you spelled his name wrong 😅
I think a show like this should be required for every American at age 16. I know that is young but I and non serving members of the US needs to understand this.
I have never been in a restaurant with any service person(I have to identify them, hat uniform or whatever) and not tried to pay for their meal. I am not a rich person and I live paycheck to paycheck. This I feel is my duty!
I want to thank all the vets out there for their sacrifice!
This guy is a good dude, one of the genuinely good guys. You can tell by how humble he is. Thanks for your service man.
My old man was the same way. Never heard him talk about his tours in Vietnam. Just one time when he was extremely intoxicated. And that story will be between him and me forever. He was a man's man. He loved to cook out and drink beer outta a cooler with ice . Never knew he was a Green Beret until my uncle's told me things about my dad. I miss him everyday.
Some things might be better left unsaid....
That's how you know he was really in the shit ....
Have a green beret uncle, tough sob. Never complained, took care of his son's & baby momma daughter when they couldn't because of drugs. I found out through work that he was SF in Vietnam. He never spoke about it
I hope my son talks about me like you talk about your father. Me and my son are very close. Hes 4.
IT'S FINALLY HERE.
MOM! Heat my tendies up, uncle Shawn is going to tell us a story!
Hahaha
LOL.......this is a AWESOME funny comment lol......
😂😂😂😂

Cheers 🍻 That’s a hell of a compliment. Thank you.
Shawn, - You are truly amazing and the guests you have on your podcast are extremely informative and are truly heroes.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I've been in the corps for a few years now. MARSOC marines are legendary and I have a Raider patch that I look at everyday to realize how easy I have it because of this marine.
Wow
You shouldn't have patches of things you didn't earn. Unless you're a raider you don't need that patch..
@Spencer Kleiman lighten up. Unless he's wearing it and claiming he is one he can own whatever patch he wants to.
@@spencerkleiman5035 notice he didn’t say he wore it he probably was given that patch
I'm not in the military or ever served in the military but I find your lessons on life very inspirational.
Thank you brother!
Agreed
I wish more ppl where as open minded and critical thinkers as you
I love listening to these guys' experiences. My nephew was in both Battles of Fallujah as a corpsman. I remember picking him and his friend up in Twenty Palms when they returned after 14 months. I took them out and bought them both a steak dinner and some beers. It was good to watch them enjoy it and to welcome them back home. I have much respect for these combat veterans.
As a former marine, we have nothing but love for corpsmen
How was that shit after?
My father in law was a gunny, saw action in Korea at Chosin Reservoir, did some shit. Raised a family of girls. Did his job well. Took care of his Church for decades. One of the finest and kindest men I have ever known. Oh, and he was a real Spartan Greek with a Spartan wife. 300.
Semper fi, Dad. Nothing but respect for these guys.
I have heard paranormal stories at 20 stumps....anyone care to share first hand experiences
Glad they made it home we were there the same time I was in both battles in Fallujah too it was a shit time to be there chaos and madness everyday
This is a killer podcast. The Marine Corps is something special. We can only explain in words but the Corps is the ultimate adventure.
It all about our legacy and tradition.
That's awesome man. Thank you
Vigilance Elite thank you as well bro. Keep doing your thing . Supporting you on my end all day.
This is by far one of the best soldier stories I've ever heard. So much appreciation for our warriors. These guy's should get the recognition pro athletes get. Thank you brother!
Nick is one of the most down to earth likable humble guests you’ve had
Thank god, so refreshing to hear this warriors story and not listen to covid and political opinions! Great podcast.
Thank you, we steered from the Covid/political shit on purpose.
Ll
but on a side note, say no to sleepy Joe, trump 2020...
Your tweet has aged well! Couldn’t agree more
@@eKh79 im a skilled twatter
It's so cool that a Navy Seal has such respect for the USMC. You're a good man Shawn Ryan. Semper Fi.
hell man I always got along with the Seal's when deployed. We operated quite often with seal teams in Iraq and always were professionally and cool as can be.
I agree! Semper Fi!
I was in the Corps and never in combat even before MARSOC the Marines were and still are the best force in readiness in the world the roles were completely different I think MARSOC was needed but I sleep better at night knowing the SEALS are out there protecting the flock EVERY man and woman in uniform are vital and necessary and above all appreciated thanks to all who serve and have served God bless the U.S.A.
Marines are pretty much SEALs with way less funding and way less opportunity for training, but they get even more action and area just as aggressive if not more aggressive than SEALs
@@PermanentHigh I was in the Marine Corps and I disagree. I believe that Marines as a whole are very well trained to the best of the Leaders appointed to each Battalion, Platoon, Squad, etc...But I do NOT believe that Basically Trained Marines could even come close to Seal Training! All the Marines I have ever been around, with the few exceptions here and there, are all highly motivated and ready to get some, myself included! And I am proud and truly honored to have said that I was a part of that at one point in my life. I would NEVER compare myself to someone with such an Honorable and Admirable career such as Mr. Shawn Ryan himself, or any of his counter parts! Semper Fi Shawn! And as Always, Thank YOU for YOUR service brother! 😊👍🇺🇸
Shawn needs to get on JRE. Guys like him, Mike Glover, etc are the kind of perspectives the country needs right now. Or a podcast with Jocko would be badass. Imagine that going like... Jocko - "Good" Shawn- "Roger that". Podcast over. 10 million views. Corona goes into remission.
100%
More like jocko podcast Joe Rogan podcast full of weirdos and crackheads like joe
JRE, Jocko, True Geordie, Valuetainment, it would be epic. Those guys could ask them questions from a civilian perspective which would be cool.
@OUR Republic- Never Give In Joe's a pretty level headed dude though. Politics aside, he's got a huge platform. Guys like Shawn could reach an insanely large audience. Would be great for Shawn, Nick, Mike, Travis, etc stories/mentalities to be shared with that many people. Would educate millions of people.
Fuk Rogan
I'm watching all of your shows starting from number one after I watched the interview with Cody and heard his story. I'm not military but I think you and everyone you have on your show for your service and I'm very grateful. I don't care if they're 6 hours long you got me and honestly man I'm an accountant so my time is pretty costly. you're that good!!
Thank you for everything you sacrificed for country and for us civilians. As a father with a young Marine just starting his career it’s enlightening to hear your stories I’m glad to hear that you came out of the side happy unsuccessful.
I was at the Pentagon on 9-11as a fairly young FF/Paramedic. I respect everything you guys do for our country. My son, my 9-11 baby created while on stress leave from the Pentagon, goes to Parris Island in September. I will show him this Video. The first and foremost thing he ALWAYS says is: its payback for you Dad and what happened to you on 9-11.
This intro is simply outstanding. I just want to say as a Marine pog0 my "sf" friends always gave us mad respect for our Marine Corps operational tempo supporting the division etc. Getting trigger time as a transportation marine was crazy. Especially when guys in Coronado Island are intently listening to my story in late 2004, over some beers post "cheetahs" Whoah. They're like man that's crazy. I appreciate the admiration and professionalism from tier 1's and elite warriors. Super humbling. I met Chris Kyle in Dallas just before I went away to "grown up timeout" again another exemplary leader who treated me with the upmost respect and dignity.
I will aways be biased and feel that Marines in combat are killers. I watched the division in 2003 from Nasiriyah to Tikrit, 2004 Ramadi/Fallujah, 2005 Syrian boarder, Haditha dam. Hard chargers! Gung Ho M'effers.
This show is ABSOLUTELY #1 Thank you brother.
Marines are some BAMFs no doubt about it.
As a civilian, I am honored to have had the privilege to learn from these guys. Nick's "Be a Good American" statement is powerful.
Nick, thank you so much for your service and telling your story and experiences. Prayers for your son. Blessing that the doctor looked into your record and started the process to diagnose TBIs. Thankful that you are getting the word out. Will help so many people that experience the same symptoms. Keep getting the truth out, Shawn.
btw--my brother is a Vietnam Vet, Navy Corpsman, I was born April 1969 & he was on his 3rd tour - got shot by a sniper in Aug 1969, got purple heart, survived and was back to Saigon in a year; 20 years difference btw me & him so we weren't close and he had (has) same mannerisms as your step father, isolation, darkness, never talked about it, later diagnosed with PTSD. Sign me up if there are ways I can help our military that suffer from it.
Thank you to all veteran today and every day of the year. Truly the best 6 hour show I have ever watch.
Holy shit! This vid has really opened my eyes and actually give me alittle scare. I have a lot of the same feeling. I think I may need to look into treatment. I’m a marine vet, 2003 in Iraq. This vid really hit home. God bless both of you. Shawn keep this up man. You are making a difference. Semper Fi
It take real courage to start that journey, but once you do, you will be glad you did. Best of luck my brother.
Thank you for your service brotha. Theres millions of us who appreciate it brother dont ever forget that. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⚔💪
Appreciate youre service Joe!! Thank you!!!
Good luck on all of your endeavors Joe. And thank you for doing what other won't/can't.
I think it's extremely important for guys like this to talk about being down, and contemplating ending their lives. And the end result of carrying on and making it onto the next step- the sunrise after that darkness
That's a real man for you the down and dirty on life don't sugar coat it
Mr. Kefalides. I really appreciate how humble you were in this interview! I am a Veteran also. Hope you and your son are doing great. Mr. Ryan. Love how you keep it real man. You are definitely a no nonsense type of man. I know this will sound like B.S.! But I feel like I know you better after having listened to you in your videos and podcasts. Even though I have never met you. Stay strong and healthy. Hope you and your wife are both happy and enjoying your lives. Take care. "Vigilance Elite" He'll Yeah!!
Thank you Troy. Cheers 🍻
Hearing him talk about mental health helps a lot. I haven't been in combat or through nearly as much as he has but hearing him speak on topics like depression makes you feel not alone.
I had a handful of friends that deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. My dad deployed for both Desert Storm and Shield but these interviews also show the sacrifice they give to be the absolute best of the best. Modern day GLADIATORS! People need to hear the sacrifice these men give of themselves so we can walk around and do what we do over here because of the things these men did over there for us! Thank you men for everything!!!
18 people dislike this, dishonorable discharged
Jay that’s where the importance of being a silent professional comes into play. Operators these days have a massive craving for being a badass in the eyes of as many people as possible. Unfortunately, as a result, lots of info and tactics are available to the wrong people.
Yea man OPSEC is out the window these days. Loose lips sink ships
No they are Taliban ;)
Probably enemy psyops
@Jay Andrew i haven't seen anything on here that could be useful to another country to help their tactics or training
Amazing episode Shawn, thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of this ! You're doing great things !!
Brother, the show would not have been the same without you. Thank you for everything. Cheers 🍻
Awesome listen thank you all for your service.
@@ShawnRyanShowUnblock me Shawn….😅
I can’t say thank you enough for doing what you guys have done for the United States.
I am addicted! This is a great platform and I am truly grateful to you and all of the warriors that fought for us and our country.
Dude this man is an absolute beast of a man who loves his country, his son, & gotten thru so much stuff in life! Thank you for your service sir! Youre an absolute hero in my eyes!!!!
This was my favorite interview yet! Nick you'll probably never read this but Thank you man. From an everyday guy with a 8-5 job and a wife and kids, I cant thank you and others enough for all the sacrifices you've made and continue to make. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family! Thanks
I will never forget to thank God that our country has MEN like you, true patriots, Americans, hero's!!!
Thank the men for protecting you and thank God for protecting them.
@Jesus Isn'tReal I served for 6 years and im an atheists. I still respect religious people man, no need to get salty
Amazing story. You guys are the best of this generation. Former marine 1 bn 9th marines walking dead Vietnam 67-69. Great to see the heroes that followed us. Amazing men. Semper fi.

Legendary unit
Thank you to both men for being patriots, and hour dedication to America and for your selfless service to our freedom! #freedomaintfree!
Of all the men that I've met that have done amazing things for this country I wish I spent more time with them after watching several of these episodes. You're helping these people and this cause so much
As a former Marine with a combat tour in Iraq I really enjoyed this interview. Thank you gentlemen for your service to our great country. Peace and long life to you both. Semper Fi.
Its so messed up hearing about IED makers freely traveling across the border to Iran. They basically keep their important bomb makers and IED materials out of country because American forces can't go into Iran to stop them. Also it's sickening that Iran allows the terrorists to operate within their country without consequence. It proves that Iran is backing Al Qaeda and isis to cause disruption and evil acts of terrorism to help keep those 2 neighboring countries from growing big enough to cause Iran any issues
This platform is so necessary. Thanks to Shawn and his team we're able to hear stories from these incredible warriors that we probably would of never gotten a chance to hear. I'd imagine a lot of these men don't share their story with just anyone. Since Shawn himself is such a badass in his own right it makes them more comfortable and open to talking about it. So thank you Shawn for everything you did before and everything you continue to do!
It is a real pleasure. Thank you for watching.
I got huge respect for guys like this. Its ashame they fight there ass off go through literally hell. For them to come home and deal with this mess here in the states they playing. Awesome Patriots like this deserve better.
Absolutely right
I APPLAUD you Nick, for Your Bravery, Your Sacrifice, & for Your Ability Not To shut down like the OGV Vets !! Thank you for Your Sincerity & having the Ability to help others, Old & Young that Have been, & are in Your Situation!!! 👏🏽 BRAVO 👏🏽!!
God has truly Blessed us Americans with this Elite Hero. His calm mannerisms are ones to be envied after all that he has been through.
It’s awesome when someone can use their pain to help so many others through theirs.
Love his will to be a good daddy.
Good hard working and very smart man.
Thank you for another great episode Mr Shawn.
Looking forward to it! How is headshot Don doing? Been thinking about him since your podcast.
He's hanging in there. Still waiting on court.
Please give him our best wished he kicks ass! Great job on your podcasts too Shawn! I look forward to all of them!
Please have Don touch base with Atty Andrew Branca!!! He does use of Force Force Law only, and may have some good Advice/Contacts he could share!
Anything we can do to support Don? Can you at least tell him we are wishing him the best and thinking about him?
bitstr3am look at his interview and in the comments there a donation page. Should be easy to find
I love how blunt Shawn Ryan is. I think if black rifle coffee started an snl show with veterans Shawn Ryan would have to be a cast member
Hahaha Good idea!
Can u imagine shawn being on vet tv
Blackbeard 007 shit would be fucking bananas
SNL is boomer shit
@@blackbeard0074 it'd be sweet. I love watching vets. There humor, mannerisms. Shawn Ryan is awesome he has this stream in the back of his house and he has alpacas. That lone survivor guy Marcus lattrel has giraffes. It's awesome and I love it.
On behalf of USA, to every vet, thanks for kicking ass on our account. From the cooks to the operators, you are the best.
I learned of Shawn on Megyn Kelly’s podcast & then listened to the incredible interview with her on this podcast. This has now become one of my favorite podcasts. I’ve started from the beginning and have loved every episode. Real life heroes! God bless you Shawn and the rest of our service men & women. Thank you for bringing these stories to us ♥️🇺🇸
Thank both of you gentlemen for all you've done. True inspirations to every American. Another top notch episode🇺🇸🇺🇸
First podcast since the shit paper hoarding and I’m soo excited for it
Haha 😂
The reason why we hoard the toilet paper is so we can watch in the toilet.
I'm sorry that we we have to take a 3 hour shit
yeah these SOF guys may have been to Iraq and Afghanistan but I survived the Shit Paper Shortage of 2020.... VA Benefits incoming.
Everyone needed this. Sick of coronavirus B.S needed some entertainment.
We left the Covid/political crap out on purpose. I’m glad you appreciate that. Thank you 🙏🏻
This is better than entertainment. Something real and raw. Something this world lacks a lot of. I can’t get enough. It’s like listening to an audio book but all of your questions are answered because Shawn is an excellent host. Its natural and not read off a prompt. Just a great flow. Keep it up 👍🏼🇺🇸
Hell yeah! Been waiting on this one. Like I wasn’t waiting on the other 3 lol. I did 20 years deployed 11 times and STILL love to hear these stories! I didn’t do shit but it amazes me the caliber of men we have in this country.
Didn't do shit? You deployed 11 times my man. That's far from not doing shit no matter what your MOS was. I appreciate your service bud
🤦♂️
Same here Nick Crawford- I’m proud of my service but these guys went so much further than anything I did...
Listened to your first podcast, 008 when you interviewed Eddie Gallagher. I’m a military history buff and am now hooked on your podcasts. Prior it was mostly just reading books or catching specials on tv. Thank you for your service to our country. Thank you for shining the light on those who’ve kept us free!
One of the best shows on the internet, hands down. You’re a very astute interviewer and I love that you don’t talk over your guests. Can’t stand it when people do that. You’re awesome man. Bless you.
The Shawn Ryan Show has become my favorite Podcast literally. The production quality, the guests and Shawn asking the real fucking questions.
Love it.
Crazy how vets are never supposed to talk about their time now we get all these inside stories thanks to podcasts
A great friend of mine was MARSOC and suggested this episode to me. Hearing all of this seems insane that I know personally one of the dudes who got it on against the enemy to such a degree. From a young Scout who never got the chance to deploy, thank you both and your peers for all you did over there. I wish I could've had my chance, but I've accepted that I need to move on. Amazing episode gents. Keeping moving forward.
Recon.
🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️
Dont believe everything you hear man
Shawn you have a genuine talent for finding the most brave men, and stories us laymen would never have imagined. Your interview dialogue is very intelligent and honest. Thank you for making this accessible to us.
My name is Dan and I just want you guys to know that I really Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done. Thank you Soldiers for your Service. Your video that I just watched really hit home what you have gone through. God bless you both and to all of the veterans.
I am a Retired Nurse , and I sleep better at night knowing I am protected by the finest Men in the world...The Military Men have our backs..n I give all them my respect..What a job to do...Awesome Men..Thank you from my heart..
Thanks and you too for important work
Nick and Shawn, you guys are literally saving lives with your content and with the help that you are giving servicemembers in transition.
These war heros are the individuals that society should look up to versus these snicthing a** rappers. Really about that life. Thank you Shawn for your commitment on educating us on the real ones.
Just finished watching this podcast of Nick and Shawn for the second time! The second time was even more enjoyable than the first! Thank you both for your service and sharing your stories! God Bless!
Dude I just stumbled upon these. Watched the ed Calderon episode . Keep em coming. Better than entertainment. With men like these we can sleep better at night. God bless America and thank you for your service guys 🇺🇲
Speechless, wow such humble people.
"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem".
Ronald Reagan. God Bless you! Thank you very much for sharing such fascinating stories!🇱🇷❤👊
Thank you both. Your courageous acts didn’t end when you came home. It takes real courage to open up and talk about the difficult stuff, especially this way. Your new chapters are going to be even better than the previous ones. Stay strong and welcome home gentlemen.
Shawn the more I watch your shows the more that I'm impressed . The respect you show for your guess is outstanding.
Nick #3 Kefalides is one BADASS Marine , I'm so glad he has pulled thru and is married - happy and doing Great Things for our VET's .
i'm looking forward to show #5 . Keep up with the work that you are doing .
Yes indeed all our military heros deserve the best in life Imo 😘
Hey Shawn, I just found your channel and I love everything you represent bro! I got a couple of DUI’s as a teenager and was heading nowhere fast. My pops gave me the best advise ever when he told me to join the marine corps. It straightened me out and I am blessed to have served along Seal’s on a med float. You guys are the best of the best. I recently quit drinking at age 50. I feel fucking great and I love your videos. They keep me on the right path. I use my drive to keep going as a small biz owner. Barely made it out of H.S. But ended up building and later selling 3 trash companies to the big haulers. I owe a lot of this to my dad and the corps. We are crazy bastards, but the good kind of crazy! Keep doing what you do sir, because it means a lot to us old timers. We are growing soft as a country and need to take it back somehow. Semper Fi Shawn and safe travels.
Please leave a review on iTunes it really helps us keep the show going strong. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shawn-ryan-show/id1492492083
Hell yeah. Hoorah
Done
Done. I'd enjoy watching it there too.
that's cool but please don't leave RUclips . You will reach far more people with RUclips than Netflix cause I'm just being honest that alot of folk are not gonna pay for a Netflix subscription. with that being said I clicked to the link and typed Shawn Ryan Show in the box to show support always. I typed the Shawn Ryan Show in all 3 boxes shown. ☮️
sold out brother ... i would love to buy some gbears and a flannel ... love the show cant wait for mike ritland 2 thank u
My dad was a Vietnam combat veteran And after some decades finally talked a little bit about his experience. He was part of a strike unit with the Big Red 1, and before that had done some training in Alaska where he met my mom, an Inupiat native. There was the ptsd which maybe didn’t have such a terminology back then when I was a kid, his mentioning of being called certain things coming back stateside, they were even shot at on a train returning, etc.. Ptsd like me going to wake him up for dinner and him jumping up ready to fight, him in a moment of anger when I was a kid saying he’d killed more people than I’ve seen. Ptsd affects generations I think. Thanks to him and thanks to this channel for your service and for dealing with what it really means.
Watch “ the last full measure” it’s about that unit may show u a little more about him it’s free on Amazon movies
Let me know what u think
@@jaydenfrederick3808 thanks will do!
Putting all the service aside, hearing your story and struggle fathering your child, going through divorce, and your response to those difficulties, is one of the most inspiring things I've heard in a while. Thanks for the little 17 second teaser that was randomly posted today, I'm glad I heard the rest of Nick's story.
I have to give you and all your guests the utmost respect for you Shawn, and your interviews with the cream of the crop of MEN! They go through training to get broken down and build back up then step in right into battle Nicki Kefalides OUTSTANDING ! please tell Nick and his family much love & respect to them
Shawn much RESPECT to all and to all who Served 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
Thank you. Great show!! Great interview 🇱🇷🇱🇷👍👍!!!
Keep up your hard work on your show .GODSPEED...
My husband came home and was having the same mental/mood difficulties after he was discharged. I think this is very common, probably more common than not. It’s a very helpless feeling as a person that loves someone who is going through this, and watching them become so self destructive. My husband lights up around the guys he served with when they visit or talk on the phone. You guys have to stay in touch with one another. I’m going to pay for my husband and some of the guys he served with to go on a fishing trip with this guy for his birthday. My husband is out of the weeds for now but you never know who else is suffering.
You are so sweet 😰💐
Paying for a fishing trip for your hubby & his ex-military friends because he lights up around them in a way he can’t elsewhere?
You’re a sweet person luv, stay this way 💐
Very kind way of saying, “ Thank You “ ❤🎉❤
I just want to thank all branches of the US military...I'm British but my fellow countrymen have fought and died in many foreign wars for a very long time now...thank you for your service guys 🇬🇧 🙏🇺🇸
I love watching these interviews, there interesting, entertaining, in very in your face real, I appreciate these heroes with a passion an can't thank them enough for all they've done an still do.. True Heroes God Bless You All Never Forget..
WOW NICK. You are an inspiration. I’m so happy that you found happiness. You worked so hard and I want to thank you for sharing your life with us.
This interview was so damn good, loved every minute of it. So many vets can definitely relate to the transition from warrior to civilian, it's one the hardest things ever!
Nick is a total badass! This episode was everything we’ve been waiting for. 💪🏼👍🏼
Thank you 🙏🏻
Ive been home 15 years now, drinking made all my shit pile up and made it impossible, i struggled the last few of 7 years out the Army to quit. Had 14 months off the bottle 3 months back now 5 months off, not turning back. Alcohol does NOT help. Im lucky to have had a few people pipe up later about it, I spent alot of time alone in that bottle too, i did learn alot of what not to do. Thank you Nick for youre service and youre continued service to our fellow vets welcome home.
Keep coming back. You are worth it. Clean and sober 30+yrs. YOU CAN AND WILL DO IT.
@@dianaroque8458 thank you
God bless you both. I never served, but I have HEAVY admiration for the folks in uniform. I’m glad Nick found his way on this side. Awesome story!!!!
Saying "Thank You For Your Service" has positive meaning in the presence of these men. Thank You.
I am very excited to see how unexcited Shawn looks. It's been too long.
Hahaha
I love this show. I respect the men that laid it all on the line and honor is their way of life.
I wish something like this had been available for my dad. Green Beret, 3 tours in Vietnam. He would have really benefited from these interviews. Once he separated he pretty much withdrew from society & struggled with being alone.
Next time you see your dad, please thank him for his service, and a welcome home for me. My grandfather was a Green Beret in Vietnam as well, I’m not sure as to the years. I know he volunteered to go back twice, he’s shared a few stories. Your dad may know him, SFC Hood. My grandfather is suffering from dementia, and things are not improving sadly. Lots of stories and memories are being lost to time. He was in for 27 years. Take care ma’am.
@@Leviathan7.62 unfortunately, he passed in 2012 from service related illness

My condolences ma’am.
@@Leviathan7.62 thank you
I have never been in the military, yet grew up in a military family who served in the second world war, and in Aden in 68.
I really admire your guests who in my opinion, have been terribly treated by their own politician's and services.. Great interview, and an in depth look in to the real stories of those who defend the real higher ground and protect not only our countries, but lives of complete strangers. Thank you both Nick and Shawn for this incredible content 🙏
Men like this continue the legend of the Marines, and create the path we are required to walk. I was recently honored to work with a group of MARSOC Raiders, as a civilian contractor. I was stunned and amazed how humble, soft spoken down to earth they all were, it really took me back. Gunny Basilone is proud and pleased, as he looks down from his perch, Semper Fi P.S. Thank you Shawn, love listening and your style is perfect.
I’m hooked on this shit! You have a winner here Vigilance Elite. This podcast draws you in and I can’t stop watching. Iv always loved to listen to this type of storyline.
Nick’s face when Shawn got Dan on the phone. Respect from each man to one another. You can see Nick’s heart explode.
~See A Soldier, Thank A Soldier~ Thank you Sir. Great to see you doing well!!
Shawn you guys are all bad ass!! Thank you all for your service! 👍👊
Oooooorah Devil Dog! Hearing my fellow Marine telling his story makes me so proud to be a Sgt. of Marines and have served our great country 🦾🦾🦾💯
