Thank you, Cpl Brent Goode, for your service, which I'm certain goes beyond anything I can imagine (and I even worked alongside Force Recon in the late '90s), as well as for all you do for your wife and Kaden. I think many, if not most, men would have ducked and run instead of rising to the challenge of helping father Kaden. You have my utmost respect. Semper Fi from Tennessee.
Yo this a truly touching story a very beautiful family and that marine is the true definition of a man taking on a kid that's not his and loving him like his own is just awesome
Ricky Recon or not, there’s nothing manly about tanking on another man’s kid and his washed up baby mama. It make you incredibly stupid and shows your lack of options as a man.
You are one outstanding Marine. You valinteard for the toughest job and that is to be a stepfather to a child with special needs and a husband to a single parent mother. Even thought Force Recon trained you to do anything that comes your way, there is no good training for what you are doing right now. Myself am a stepfather of one son and since his mother and I been married we have add two more boys to our family. With my stepson blood couldn't bring us closer than what we are now. In my eyes and heart, he is my son
Ooh-Rah Devil Dog! I genuinely respect Cpl. Goode's love and dedication to his family. He has chosen to take care of this family and loved it as if it were his own flesh and blood. I guess I understand that part, since we love the knuckleheads in our platoons as if they were our own flesh and blood as well. Semper Fi.
Thank you for making this world a better place and for not giving up on your wife and her son. Thank you so much for your sacrifice and service CPL hoorah
I love this only because I’m hoping to get approved for OCS to be a marine reserve officer, I will most likely be assigned to an infantry unit, I would love to look into recon. I also have children and a step kid. I love how this shows the balance of a man who with a good heart who is also trained to take life only when necessary. Great balance
Some of the comments make me physically sick. I really hate most people... Cpl Goode, you are everything that is right with this nation and the Marine Corps. I can only pray my own children live their lives as honorably as you. SFMF...
Good Bless, and thank you for this video. It makes me so thankful for men (and families) like you . You and yours are what makes America great! Is there a way that I can help out in any way - perhaps donating to the recon foundation on your behalf?
Great stuff there Marine! Why don’t you start a Go Fundme drive for that van you need. Attach this video and I’ll bet fellow Marines and civilians alike will help you. I will. Semper Fi and God bless. I prayed for your son while watching this.
That kid doesn't look at him and think he's some random stranger, he looks at him and sees a father or at least a father figure. He stepped up and took on the role and it at least looks like he genuinely loves his wife and kid. Saying he's not the kids father is like saying his fellow Marines aren't his brothers
Some of you people are disgusting humans. It doesn’t matter if he is blood or not, that child sees him as a father and he sees the child as his son. I have 2 children that are adopted and they thank me everyday that I am their father and I thank God my wife got out of a hostile marriage where her and my son were abused. She graduated from Illinois University and I joined the Marine Corps. 19 years later those kids are the best thing to happen to my life and they are mine, period. How about we try to be good people instead of internet idiots? There is nothing wrong with posting something positive about a heart warming story.
Marines and Americans could have no POTUS better than the one who shares their own values, and values their lives like his own family. I'm the father of a Marine recruit, and so am especially interested in your company and how our CIC directs you in our defense. We should focus more on defense, and less on attack. I am voting for Sanders, for my daughter, other people's children all over the world, and for a time of peace where the costs of service do not outweigh the benefits. All for one and one for all. #feelthebern
+muchpandasowow You're wrong. A Bernie Sanders Presidency would be about strengthening our country, all nations, and our world, by bringing us into the age of cooperation and competitiveness once again. Who on this world places faith in any one leader? If you could count without spinning to advantage the real tally, Bernie Sanders is the best there is, and the first true role model we've seen in a very long time. #feelthebern
who gives a flying fuck this is about the man and his honor courage commitment to not only the Marine Corps but his family fuck the politics , where is the respect.
Make sure our Marines are passing on our good genetics so we always have warriors to defend our country. (Make sure your wife also has appropriate genetics) stay away from disrespectful, crazy bipolar women!
if you are infantry or any kind of combat job ,dont get married, im telling you, she'll be cheating while your gone on deployment or at the field. and no im not going on personal experience, im a pog with no wife or girlfriend, just living the single marine life untill i get out
This is a good story hands down. I served as a garrison MP in the mid 1990s. It was crazy to see a lot of dependent wives with no rings on (we called them Float Widows) in the local watering holes of Jacksonville, NC. whenever a MEU shipped out of Camp Lejeune. Some Marines would come back from a 6 month Med Float and his wife would be 3 or 4 months pregnant. Some float widows were considerate and wait a week before they would start coming through the base housing gates with other Marines. It's just the way it is and the way it'll always be.
You know some of us plan on going a full 20 right? You wanna be scared for your entire career of being jody’d, that’s your call. You should just focus on putting a ring on the broad that was grinding on you for an hour when you were a boot and went to the bar with dog tags on. Find a classy woman you met in a semi-classy way and you shouldn’t find many problems.🤷🏽♂️

Yo this a truly touching story a very beautiful family and that marine is the true definition of a man taking on a kid that's not his and loving him like his own is just awesome

Absolutely amazing 👏 and our country need men like you in our society because we are falling short!
Semper Fi, here's good health to you, your family, and our Corps.
Truly from a marine? (The Marine708)?
You are one outstanding Marine. You valinteard for the toughest job and that is to be a stepfather to a child with special needs and a husband to a single parent mother.

Ooh-Rah Devil Dog! I genuinely respect Cpl. Goode's love and dedication to his family. He has chosen to take care of this family and loved it as if it were his own flesh and blood.

So crazy I went to boot camp with this Marine always one of the guys I looked up to.
I love this only because I’m hoping to get approved for OCS to be a marine reserve officer, I will most likely be assigned to an infantry unit, I would love to look into recon. I also have children and a step kid. I love how this shows the balance of a man who with a good heart who is also trained to take life only when necessary. Great balance
MARINES!! Great story!! Honor, Courage, Commitment!
Semper Fidelis in every way. God bless your family.
Some of the comments make me physically sick. I really hate most people...
Cpl Goode, you are everything that is right with this nation and the Marine Corps. I can only pray my own children live their lives as honorably as you. SFMF...

Great stuff there Marine! Why don’t you start a Go Fundme drive for that van you need. Attach this video and I’ll bet fellow Marines and civilians alike will help you. I will. Semper Fi and God bless. I prayed for your son while watching this.

Poor kaden I feel so bad
What was that raider patch at the end?
That was the emblem of the First Marine Division, which the First Reconnaissance Battalion is a part of.
UnityPlays Raider Patch is different man. Similar colorization, but different style
I Praise God and thank President Trump for bringing Gen. James Mattis in to defend us. I now sleep sound, very sound.
Semper Fi Marine.
Semper Fi Marine
how we can we help - with the Van or anything ? Semper Fi
No slacker here!
This one is been the worse singling out by myself without thw talley of sharing im giving but not levaing..
Rah apparently we both went through the same rss
SEMPER FI
Your son is a prince
I hope this Marine decides to have a child that belongs to him.
He already does. I'm sorry that you don't see that. Perhaps some day you will.
TheMotonp2010 No.... No he doesn't. That's not his son.
Genetically, that's not his son. But as long as they love each other I'm happy for him.
That kid doesn't look at him and think he's some random stranger, he looks at him and sees a father or at least a father figure. He stepped up and took on the role and it at least looks like he genuinely loves his wife and kid. Saying he's not the kids father is like saying his fellow Marines aren't his brothers

Very ironic. Sanders wants to weaken our military. Trump wants to strengthen it.

sadly nothing will change
who gives a flying fuck this is about the man and his honor courage commitment to not only the Marine Corps but his family fuck the politics , where is the respect.
+muchpandasowow So is it okay if the Orange Man deports my family and friends while I am overseas fighting his hateful wars? Fuck Trump.
who made this?
Get some.
I'd never get in a relationship when I join the Marines.
Respek

if you are infantry or any kind of combat job ,dont get married, im telling you, she'll be cheating while your gone on deployment or at the field. and no im not going on personal experience, im a pog with no wife or girlfriend, just living the single marine life untill i get out
With a comment such as that directed at such a heartfelt story I am TOTALLY surprised you don't have a girl. That just blows me away.
+Informed American im just doing dates for now
basicbodybuilding Incorrect. If you have doubts about your wife cheating on you don't get married to her.

SEE THATS ALL PEOPLE EVER CARE ABOUT IS FAMILY WHAT ABOUT FRIENDS
Most people do not have true, powerful, valued friends
Derek Barrera BUT THEY SOULD
you do not need multiple friends that would just decrease the actual value of friendship
Derek Barrera WELL I WAS JUST SAYING TAKE CARE OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILEY BOTH NOT JUST ONE
what if he considers his best friend as family?
Respect ,Marines
Where's the biological father in this you know the black man who the redhead had a bastard child with? Poor child
