I have Kyle’s mom’s number. I’ll be glad to message her for you. Kyle lived in Mississippi for awhile when he was younger just minutes from me. He’s our HERO!!!
That would Be fantastic my friend! Let her know, from a royal marine, to a us marine, I’m proud of my brother!
Ill screenshot your comment to Kyle (with your permission) and send to his mom. She will show him. By the way, thank you for YOUR brave service.
Awesome. That’s extremely kind of you. Iv pinned your comment for all to see! I appreciate your words mate, in all honesty my service is only a shadow on the likes of these great warriors. I’m just happy to be part of their world. Thank you brother and stay in touch.
I have mate, I found him a few days ago, so I clicked it. He’s a top man, I have the utmost respect for him
I certainly will mate! Thanks again brother.
Kyle is the youngest living Medal of Honor Recipient, but there was a Marine in WW2 named Jack Lucas who received the award at age 17, when he too, jumped onto a hand grenade tossed at him and his comrades to save their lives. Miraculously he survive the blast, but had over 200 pieces of metal in his body!!! Amazingly he was able to rejoin the Marines later and rose to the rank of Captain by the time he left the Marine Corps!
Told this story in Martial Arts instructor Course. It blew my mind
Please research Ben L Salamon, " The Dentist." I don't want to give much away, but he's known as the baddest mofo in US military history. He single handedly defeated a 100 combatants, most in hand to hand combat. It's an absolutely incredibly story. Truly worth a watch or read. He was recently awarded the MOH, though his actions took place in WWII.
@@tomjjackson21 I heard about him..Awesome fellow. I heard the Japanese finally shot him multiple times and Bayonetted him as well. At least he took 100 with him, only they followed another path after they died!!
@@YooZherName we need to get him to do a video on Salamon. I've posted several times asking to no avail.
One of his buddies was on the Jocko Podcast a couple years ago.
I am a 71year old US Marine Vietnam Vet and I liked your reaction to Kyle Carpenter's video.
Welcome home Sir, and thank you . I make it a point to say that to every Nam Vet I encounter inr real life, online, or whereever because although I wasn't around then I know my history enough to realized you didn't get the welcome home you all earned and deserved.
Thank you for your service!!!
Thank you so much! I am very grateful for everyone who has served this country.
Doubt
@ how do you he isnt lying
"Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." -Jesus, John 15:13
Absolutely
I have very few friends that I would. Life ain't what it should be. I have questions to be answered but probably never will.
Amen
More Beautiful words have never been written or spoken. Then again it was Jesus who spoke it.
My favorite quote of all time.
I'm a grown ass Military-VET man and I am tearing up. There's no shame in showing love for our Brothers here, or across the pond.
Your human, have morals and heart. Nothing ever to be ashamed of for emotions. Hats off to you as well this channel. Amazing the love for all our troops now but when my dad and his friends came home from Vietnam they was spit on etc. I pray that never happens to our service men in the future.
Amen
I'm no soldier, but I have family who either are, or were. My great-uncle is a retired Lt. Colonel, my grandfather served in World War 2 (he was about to be sent overseas to fight when the war finally came to an end), and my younger cousin joined the US Marines a couple years ago and has since been promoted to Lance Corporal (as I'm not part of the military, I don't know how often promotions happen, or if him getting a promotion within about a year of joining the Marines is a sign that he's performing very well, but I certainly hope it does). As much as I worry about my cousin (I held him in my lap before when he was a toddler, so I feel very protective of him even though he could most likely kick my ass in more ways than I can count), I still have nothing but respect for his choice to join the military.
I am also a grown ass vet. And I teared up when I read this hero covered the frag with his body and saved his buddy
Same here... 2002 to 2012. I teared up, not going to lie. The way he speaks is so moving, and made me reflect of all those who made the ultimate sacrifice, their families, and of course all those who made other sacrifices that they will carry with them, all for a undying love of this country and to fight for a better world.
I’m embarrassed of the things I complain about after hearing stories of sacrifice my own countrymen have made. People should start everyday watching this. Freedom
Isn’t free is it. Thank you Kyle.
Respect to you brother
@Lexi Thomas wasn't it trump that told the general's when he went to the Normandy cemetery " they are suckers what's in it for them?"
@@allenwhite4082 where's the unedited, full video of him saying that?
@@allenwhite4082 Dude, firstly, you’re WRONG. President Trump NEVER said THAT Crap! Secondly, POTUS Trump always had, has and will have the utmost Respect & Admiration for OUR US Military. You can take THAT from me ~ I’m a former US Army enlisted 11B Infantryman and after OCS, branch transferred to a MI Officer..& now a Disabled Veteran. No pity for me, I just wanted you to KNOW that my service buddies and I have The Highest Pride & Trust in OUR President Trump. Now, Biden..., NOT!🇺🇸
Allen white communist
People run from grenades. He jumped on one. I have no words.
Aye in the military you kinda learn to save more lifes for the sacrifice of one, even though its sad to say and hear, Kyle was one of them that had that idea..... that is what was believed and in the heat of the moment no doubt...... God wasn't ready to take him yet and as luck would have it he survived...... He is one of the people I'll say I'm proud of as a American... " Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. " John 15:13
@@Polar87 Yeah I was a Marine 87-93 & I'm still amazed.
@@eriksixx1226 not was, is. semper fi devil
General's have to salute Medal of Honor recipient's, regardless of rank
Indeed mate! And rightly so brother
They are saluting the Medal, not the person. They actually don't have to but it is tradition.
@@gregsayre4700 That medal wouldn't be there to be saluted if not on the person. It's one in the same.
Fair point both
@@mortimerbrewster3671 you don't salute if it's not being worn
People like this that make it back home deserve nothing but our undying respect and peace through the rest of their lives.
Though I have never met this man, I did have the honor of meeting another CMH recipient, SSgt.Roy Benevidez. The meeting was both humbling and enlightening. On being awarded the CMH, all Mr.Benevidez had to say is: " I am not a hero. I saw a lot of men whose names you will never hear, who were a million times more brave than I was. Heroes are buried in Arlington, lost on the fields of Europe in WWII, the hills of Korea and the jungles of Vietnam. I did what I did for my men, my buddies and my fellow soldiers. I am a lot of things, but a hero ain't one of them."
Thanks for your lovely comment sir
I've met Joe Foss (USMC WWII), and Leroy Petre (US Army OEF), and a few others whose names I can't recall, and they were ALL like that.
That’s why he deserved the MOH.
I met Mr Benevidez when I got stationed at Ft Sam. He joked about me being a sailor (I was a Corpsman) which usually I would bust balls back but I just couldn't with him.
From my hometown of el campo Texas
I was a navy Corpsman but spent the majority of my 12 yrs in attached to Marines. I'm honored to have a 25yr brotherhood with my brothers
You're a Marine as far as we are concerned Doc. From a Marine brother. S/F.
@@mrs8171 thanks Brother. One of my Marines drew me a Corpsman tattoo with the EGA as part of the design. Before I got it done I contacted several of my old Marines, one being a LtGen and all of them said I earned it.
Oorah, Devil Doc!
Respect doc …..
Corpsman Up!
OORAH my brother.
As a Aussie citizen I want to thank all soldiers, young, old, or passed for fighting for our freedom and safety 🙂 I have nothing but utmost respect for you all, Stay safe and respect to you all 👊
Same here as US citizen
I agree thank you..
American or British, Australian or Israeli, you guys all fight for freedom. We all thank you and God bless you all for putting your lives on hold and on the line for your fellow countrymen
Wow..... jumped on a grenade to protect his fellow Marines amazing.
It’s absolutely amazing mate. Hey, i appreciate your comment on my channel. Hope you can drop by more often mate
A testament to how amazing the kit is for our troops with a little luck and a little divine intervention he survived
Check the history of marine MOH award recipients. Diving on a grenade is not that uncommon, survival is though.
IR while laid up convalescing i read all the Medal of Honor Citations for Vietnam, it hit me that a-lot of my Brother Marines who earned the MoH had done so by sacrificing them selves for the Marine(s) beside them. I decided to actually calculate this and as i recall 57% of all MoH for all Marines was for sacrificing them selves for the Marine(s) beside them either by covering a grenade or other explosive device with their body’s or by protecting other Marine(s) directly. Kyle Carpenter is an amazing Marine and Brother, to be so humble. Semper Fi Brother
@Keith Westfall not sure if you served but NOWHERE in that contract does it state "it's your job to jump onto a live grenade ". That is above and beyond the call of duty.
Emotional. Uncommon valor. Toughest man I ever knew never once told me how tough he was. This man is what a real legend and hero is made of.
This young warrior is why everyone should respect and care about all those who have served and are serving and to all we have lost
From this Marine Combat Vet to you, a Royal Marine Commando, Bravo and Semper Fi!
I am also a US Marine and it does us all proud to be a part of something that is so special and sacred. Kyle and all medal of honor recipients are extremely worthy of what they received and we all are indebted to their sacrifice. As you told Kyle in your reaction, we appreciate your service brother. So from one Marine to another Semper Fi to you and all that have served.
Thanks for your comment my marine brother! We may by bound by a different country, but marines from the world throughout, share the same bond! A bond only marines understand! Thanks for your service warrior! Per mare per terram
@@RyanForrest1664 I enjoy your vids. This US Marine would share s fighting hole any day with you. Semper Fi, Marines.
There is a peace and calm about him, but still water runs deep.
:)
Almost every Medal of Honor recipient say they don't deserve it, but are proud to carry it for the sake of others.
The most emotional part was seeing him in walter reed for the first time. A 21 year old not much younger than me, laid on a grenade for his fellow marine. Survived against all odds, and still held on to life. God bless kyle carpenter. Semper fi
So humble... he represents everything that is right about his generation. May God bless him greatly and may his remaining years bring him peace and prosperity. He deserves it. Thanks for your reaction brother. I hope this message finds you and your family well. Peace
Hello David. Your message found me loud and clear brother. Thank you for taking time to comment, it’s very much appreciated.
Agreed wholeheartedly, this man is already prosperous in the fact that the whole world loves him
I'll join your discord channel in the morning... silverweasel out
Laters brother. Take it easy
As a PROUD American & Gold Star Family member I thank you for caring about our wounded warriors!
God Bless You!
Kyle threw himself on a grenade , in a selfless act, using his body as a shield in order to protect his fellow marines ?......it is so above and beyond l dont even know how to respond , l am in awe.... thank you Kyle, for your personal sacrifice and service .
U.S. Marines: Your best of friend or your worst of enemies! YOU CHOICE! God bless the U.S.A.! Thanks for showing this vid. mate from across the pond. Live to Survive!
70 year old Marine Corps veteran. Yes, there are real heroes in this country. I have tears in my eyes right now. God bless Kyle and god bless you. Semper Fi.
Semper Fi my brother
I'm just as proud of the veterans across the pond as our own. 😘
My son is a MARINE deploying for the first time in February 2021. Kyle is an amazing patriot and has sacrificed so much and to his mom and dad many will never know the bitter sweet feeling we have as we watch our children volunteer to become a hero. And even fewer will know the feeling of your baby becoming a super hero like Kyle. And to to many know what it feels like to know their child gave their all for what they believe in. The country we love and the freedom we enjoy have been bought in many many sacrifices of young military members and the family that love them. We will not let that all be done just to set back and watch our country ruined by her own people on her own soil. God bless all our military and the family they love and God bless America 🇺🇸
It makes a man proud to be an American and a Marine vet. SEMPER FI. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
The ultimate test of bravery eating a grenade for breakfast to save your fellow marine, if you look up the injuries that he had it really is a miracle he survived, but im glad he did,what a humble man.
For sure!
KNOWING you are dead, but doing it anyway. Then,
Waking up in a hundred pieces, and going “well, I got a ton of work to do.”
That’s pure backbone.
12 years in United States Marine Corps many years ago, never heard a Medal of Honor winner wasn’t humble. Great review brother, Semper Fi
respect to you warrior brother. iv worked with our US counterparts. you guys and girls are warriors! per mare per terram
Gen Dit Commando I had the opportunity to do some joint training with the British royal marines back in the early 80s. It was interesting how we started out like two flocks of peacocks trying to out strut each other. In the end, some of the best friendships and most respected people I’ve had the honor to know. Semper Fi
His perspective and message is just amazing. So honored to call this fellow Marine my brother!
Hello skdoosh, thanks for stopping by the channel mate. It is very much appreciated. I have a deep respect for fellow soldiers but in particular Marines, being a former Royal Marines commando I guess I’m biased but I believe the spirit of a marine throughout the whole world is very much alike! Peace brother
Kyle was recovering at the Richmond VA Polytrauma unit at he same time my husband was. He is so humble and so kind.
He seems to be just that Karen. Thanks for your comment. All the best from 🇬🇧
Kyle seems like such a nice and humble guy , with what he went through and survived , I imagine every day is a blessing for him , I'd love to hang out with him and share a beer with him.
Here's to you Kyle 🍺
here here brother. i would love to do the same. your comment is appreciated, do stay a regular my friend.
I am honored to say that i attended the University of South Carolina with Mr. Carpenter and had the pleasure of running into him a few times during my time there. I wish i had taken the opportunity then to thank him for his service and sacrifice
He is the man on top of being incredible brave and selfless, we actually hired him to be the key note speaker at our companies annual veterans summit this year.
Its funny. You say Kyle seems like a genuine nice guy, (which he does for sure.) But I was thinking the same about you. From an American battle buddy.
Thanks buddy. That’s a real nice thing to say. I appreciate that brother
Love this guy. So humble and classy for evrything he's been through. Grace dignity. A man's man and true 🇺🇸. That's people like him are the greats that make this country free. Xo Thank you for your service. Semper fi.
Who needs captain America when there's a real super hero serving their country this man is some boy a legend of a man I hope he's treasured by his country men.
He is a national treasure mate and I have the utmost respect for him! I appreciate your comment on the channel 👍🏻
He’s absolutely treasured. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
About half of Americans are probably calling him a racist nazi, guarantee it.
@@spilttaco3343 , the ones calling him that are not true Americans. He is such a brave guy, diving on a grenade without thinking shows me how brave he is. It's in his DNA, one in a billion. God bless him and his parents who did an amazing job in raising such a selfless human being.
He may not be by all in this Country but the majority of us do. As a Marine we're trained to be the best. This man embodies the true spirit of the Marines. Granted PC culture and SJW BS has removed the good parts of boot camp (or so I'm told, I was MCRD in 2006 and I found it funny when the 1st Sergeant of our Company asked if our DI's used fowl language.) Of course none of us raised our hands. And of course they did cuss and mock and belittle sometimes. But if you can't handle that how can you handle combat?
Medal or not this man's true blue.
From one devil dog to another. 🇺🇸
Respect to you brother! Much love from 🇬🇧 🗡
Semper Fi, Brother!
Yut
Hey don’t forget about us Army guys!
Right there with y’all as usual.😉👍🏻
I’m a man. Barely. Seeing a BMF like yourself fighting back tears made me feel better about letting them flow. Keep up the great work love your content and thank you for your service !
Damn I never served, but absolutely respect all that have given everything for our country. Brought a year to my eyes as well. Thankyou.
Major Respect Gen Dit Commando. And thank you for your Service to The World's Freedom and Democracy . From a US Navy Veteran.
This made my eye leak when I first saw it, I raised my hand in 1977. Took a thirty year journey in the USAF, SIGINT (overt and covert ops). The bonds forged during that period and continue to this day. Godspeed to all defenders of Liberty.
what a beautiful man its men and women like him that keep our countries safe and they deserve all the respect we can give them my thank you for their service just doesn't seem to feel like its enough when they risk their lives for my comfort and safety
and when i look at what our countries leaders are doing to the countries these heros fight for its a shocking disgrace
I have heard this incredibly honorable man speak before. The first time I heard him he had a wonderful joy about him. It caught me off guard. Such humbleness and full of life he was. As a veteran this brought a tear to my eyes. I thought what a great example of a warrior doing his job.
i appreciate you bro
I often quote Kyle; when thanked for my service I simply say: you're worth it. Thank you for your service brother and keep the faith.
I know his story and couldn't stop crying. My precious daddy risked his life in the Pacific during WWII. Rest in peace papa. Signed a proud WWII hero's daughter.
Let’s all think for a minute about the fact that he laid his body over the top of a grenade to save his fellow warriors (marines). It’s hard to truly comprehend it. He is a class act all the way and tremendously humble.
I can't even begin to imagine! To all of our troops foreign and domestic who fight for freedom, God bless you all! You're definitely a blessing to us!
i appreciate you bro
@@RyanForrest1664 thank you!
Getting emotional and the things you say about Kyle says one thing about you too. That you're a nice man as well. God bless.
Wow, I really appreciate that comment tony. That’s a wonderful thing to say and thank you for that! It really does make my day when a nice comment like that is given! Your a top person and I send you positive blessing 🇬🇧🙏
Amen to that.
Your reaction to one of our America’s finest is heart warming to say the least. Thank you for showing and sharing this moment. God Bless! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
It is being a part of something greater than yourself. Even knowing you can be called on, at any time, to give the greatest thing you have. Your life. For freedom. Thank you for serving. I'm ex Army, but you Marines!
thank you also for your service warrior brother
Thank you to every man and woman who has fought or is fighting for freedom. Thank you for your service 🙏
If his story does not hit you in the feels, I really question why not. I've heard his incredible story multiple times, and it still gets me choked up every time. War is such an ugly, and pitiful thing we humans have dreamed up. For some reason, war brings out the worst in humans, but thank GOD it also brings out the best in humans like Mr. Carpenter.
Beautiul comment E K. Thank you for sharing your thoughts my friend
Ty to all those who serve and who serve...the sacrifices made do not go unappreciated. My son chose to serve and is a proud Marine and I am an even more proud father. Although I never served...that will never lessen how proud I am of those that have and do serve. I truly respect those warriors...OOORAH!
Kyle Carpenter embodies what most of us will never achieve. Proud to honor him and all who serve or have served.
Thanks for your wonderful comment brother
That is the power that Honor can have on your soul. it will bring you to tears. for all of the right reasons.
If you haven't done so already, take a look at Kyle's appearance on the David Letterman show. The list of injuries described is horrific. His gentle humility is legendary. I'm ex-Navy, worked on amphibious assault ships. I was proud to provide that support to the Marines. He is a model for what men and women in uniform should strive to attain.
Firsty, thank you for your service and secondly thank you for taking your time to comment on the channel, it is greatly appreciated. I have to completely agree with you mate, he is a model citizen.

This Man has survived something none of us can possibly imagine. I hope and pray he has no inner demons from this. I wish him nothing but the best, and a lifetime of peace. Hes's earned it. All the respect in the world. From this old Sailor to that Marine. I Wish him Fair Winds And Following Sea's. Semper Fi.
Thanks for posting this sir.i'be been following Kyle for some time now.and he really is the real deal
Smart funny thoughtful and incredibly humble.when i despair for my countrys future i think if we can still produce men like kyle carpenter we will be fine.thanks again sir.
That’s the thing that struck me, how incredibly humble and gentleman like he is! I have the utmost respect for this fine gent
What a brave and well spoken young man, certainly deserving of such an honor. Thank you to all those who have and continue to serve to protect our freedoms.
My impression is that Medal of Honor recipients, as a whole, are a group of very humble people. Kyle Carpenter is a great representative of the honor. You did a great job with this video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks mate. Appreciate you!
Blessed is he who would lay down his life for his friends. We are all honored to have Kyle with us.
Love and respect from across the pond 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Love and respect back to you my friend form a brother in the uk 🇬🇧
I'm proud that I'm an American, because of men like Mr. Carpenter, my great uncle Gene who fought in Vietnam, and my great grandfather who lost his leg fighting the Nazis. We love you too commando, we come from you.
If this doesn’t kick you in reality nothing will. This is why most people that are free to choose join the Military. I don’t just mean the USA, I mean ALL Forces that are a voluntary enlistment. It is pride in the Country, Respect for yourself, a Pride in the People you serve with. You serve with great people in many different Countries sometimes, that’s what joining the Military should mean, .... it did to me even back in the late 70’s when people weren’t to hip on us at the end of Vietnam. God Bless us and our foreign Brothers. May God keep you safe.
Wow what a wonderful comment, firstly thank you for your service and I appreciate you commenting here brother.
Heroes do what they do, and I want to say, Thank you and ALL of our service men and women for putting their lives on the line without a second thought. It's because of people like you WE live in the GREATEST Country in the WORLD. I want you to know from the bottom of My ❤️ it is APPRECIATED. Long live FREEDOM
Respect to you brother!
Beautiful. Just Beautiful. This is exactly what we are fighting for here in the United States right now. We have a takeover of people that don't want moments like this,people that don't understand the sacrifice that many men before them have taken, people that will feel the admiration and love of 2 men that have never met each other, yet fight for.the common goal as brothers. For Freedom.
I just want to send my love and respect to ALL that served their country. And I'm talking World wide. After all you are all fighting for the freedom of your country. Sand here's a huge thank you for all that fought and/or gave their life for my rights. I love you
Wow what a true story of a young Hero, a wonderful and inspiring young Man. That was truly very emotional just like John Chapman. I did cry and I am a 56 year old Man who doesn't care to admit to it, how can't you be. Kyle Carpenter is so humble and a incredible young man to go through what he did plus all the pain and operations. With Soldiers like John Chapman, Kyle Carpenter and many who have died or received terrible injuries some life changing plus Soldiers who have survived or become Veterans, Wow these Men and Women are the best of there nations and Humanity, who give there lives for not only there military brothers and sisters but also for us civilians to keep us safe in our homes. There is no greater human on earth but those who serve to keep us safe. Even though Kyle Carpenter was a United States Marine we British Citizens owe him and everyone who has died, injured, serving or become a Veteran our Love and Respect. I am proud to be British because of the Men and Women who Served, Injured, Died or have become veterans because you are the best of our nation and you are our nation. ❤💙💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
A beautiful comment mate. thank you for that. much love
This reminds me to count my blessings and not my troubles. God bless this warrior hero 🇺🇸
Yeh he is a very humble and honest character and his voice just resonates...from one ex Army lad to another, despite the difference in our countries, we are all brothers in arms and hats off to him for pulling through. Nice emotion mate as it is moving stuff.
Hey thanks for your comment brother! I agree with you completely and respect to you for your service also my friend
Im a Usmc aviator dad ! A proud American with 33 yrs of service to others. Maybe this is what our young man seen mom n I did. Not to mention both our family’s history in military my wife’s side has 🎖🎖🎖 last being 07. Iraq her cousin ! Ours is in combat at this point !! we all pray for peace ! Thanks to all of u who step up & serve. 🇺🇸✌️
God bless kyle Carpenter, those who have served and those who continue to do so! Thank you for sharing this with us! 🙏
Our pleasure! thanks for the support it really is appreciated my friend.
It's a terrible thing that such great men have to suffer so much. What a wonderful man Kyle is. Bless you sir.
Thank you to all the troops for your service, US and UK. In a time of moral misdirection of so many, you cannot be told that enough.
Marine here, just subbed and liked. Your emotional reaction is why nations are born, destroyed, rebuilt and then cherished. MUCH respect to our alliance, and you. Always remember that we got your six, always, and forever.
Inspiring! I been following him for a while, he's come a long way. Good or see him in good spirits. Semper Fi!!
I am a veteran and very glad that I am. This young man is so far above heroic it is insane, he is what we all dream we are. I don't know if I could have been that selfless, I thank the lord I never had to find out. I am so proud of this young man, yet I am so sad for him at the same time. He carries much more than the beautiful burden of the Medal of Honor, he carries the invisible wounds to his soul that never really heal. I am not the least bit ashamed that he makes me cry every time I watch this video.
I've seen other metal of honor recipients from ww2, Korea and Vietnam on RUclips. You have to be humbled no matter who you are.
Kyle Carpenter is an American boy and an American hero!! He’s ours!! His story is similar to the story of many of our sons and daughters and it hurts my soul so badly that it’s hard to even watch!! Seeing him having grown into a man from then to now is beautiful and inspiring!! It makes me so proud to be an American!!
My Brother is a U.S. Marine and went in the Corps in 1979 a year after I joined the Air Force . Our Father was stationed in the Southwest of France about 40 to 50 kilometers Northeast of Bordeaux , so we were both Army Brats and since we both grew up with him and our Stepfather was in the Marine Corps Reserve we both grew up around them we Learned Never leave a Man behind .
Mad respect for your respect and humility. From an American vet to a Brit brother and vet.
Mr. Cooney, if you please convey a message to Kyle's mother: Tell her how proud she can be with a son that has a heart of a warrior , but a the same time so humble. God has and will take care of you Kyle. The best and happier part of your life is just around the corner.
Here here. Wonderful comment my friend! Let’s keep this positivity going. 🤝🙌🏻
J. Art Aragon I’ve sent Kyle’s mom the screenshots and link for this RUclips channel. Kyle has seen the beautiful reactions and comments here. I’m honored to know Kyle’s mother. She is an amazing person herself. There is an old saying, “The fruit never falls too far from the tree.”
What an honour 🇬🇧🇺🇸
God Bless Kyle. He served his country well🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍
Man, I've been in the army the last ten years.. Not a long time to some.. But you can feel the pain.. and it really makes you think.. think a lot to say the least! But I'm proud and even more proud! That dude is a beast and a honor... As a soldier in your free time, you think about that, and how you would react.. You tell yourself I'd do this and that, but its a select few.. It's a different world.. and this man, still motivating others.. salute to him
A wonderful thoughtful comment cail! Thanks for that. Your welcome on the channel anytime brother
God bless all the soldiers that sacrificed there lives for this country and god bless the families and all fallen allied soldiers thank you and God bless you all and family
He put it best when he said Kyle Carpenter has a "real pleasant mannerism about him". Kyle seems like one of the nicest guys in the world, in addition to being one of the bravest.
Thanks for your comment Kevin mate
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE KYLE..BEST WISHES ON YOUR FUTURE..
Being Irish, I have massive respect for soldiers. Especially British. God bless.
I thought Irish didn't like British?
Such a good soul,and I can't thank him enough for what he has done, he saved his brother with selfless courage in his act to protect his brother beside him. He deserves that honor for sure.Total respect.. I will never forget all of you other wonderful soldiers who have stepped up and served our country. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Every time I see Kyle Carpenter I think of the shrapnel he still carries in his brain as it’s location makes it to dangerous to remove. Yet another example of the miracle that he’s alive. Not long after he woke from his coma he asked his doctors if he would be able to do pull ups. The doctors were shocked. His arms were shattered, one arm broke in 30 places, tendons gone, irreparable nerve damage in both arms. The last time I saw Kyle do pull ups he made it to 17. To me that just represents his unbeatable spirit. His injuries were unimaginable...one lung totally collapsed, the other half collapsed, right eye gone, lower jaw resting on his chest, most of his teeth gone, carotid artery ruptured, blood clots in his legs, arms shattered, brain full of shrapnel, his face shredded...when his mother saw him for the first the only way she knew it was him was because medical personnel told her it was him.
This humble man unhesitatingly threw himself on a grenade to save others. It’s difficult to even comprehend that kind of bravery. Kyle coded in the helicopter, medics fought to bring him back but when he arrived at Camp Bastion he was P.E.A...Patient Expired Upon Arrival. They fought to bring him back and he came back. Neurosurgeons removed what shrapnel they could from his brain and Vascular surgeons repaired his veins and arteries. His torn flesh was sutured with the goal being to stop blood loss, preserve tissue, to get him stable enough to fly to Germany then home to the US. I wonder as those surgeons worked on him wrapping him in pressure dressings and splinting him, if they had any belief he would survive. I hope for them that they did because their work brought him back and saved him at that point in time. Kyle Carpenter is a hero who gives credit to everyone who worked so hard to save him every step of the way including his fellow Marines with him in that mud hut in Afghanistan who gave him critical first aid.
Kyle Carpenter, Medal of Honor Recipient...I will never forget his name or his story.
Fantastic comment
I have nothing but the utmost respect for our military and our British brothers and sisters in arms.
