- An extended scene that didn't make the theaters. Pretty good lesson about the spirit of guardianship. Appolyon is surely restrained by such honor. Thank you my friend James Vanbrunt.

"I'll be here, sir. I'll watch over him."
Still got your 6, brother.
Kevin Bacon was so tremendous in this film.
He won the Golden Globe for it. This was one of the best, most heart wrenching films I have ever seen. So very well done. I'll never forget it.
To have served with this MARINE in 2004 in Ramadi and a member of K 3 /11 he was and will be miss by us all Semper Fi.. R.I.P
Thunder! God fights with 3rd battalion
Thank you for your service to our country. From everything I’ve seen or read, it was a privilege to know Chance. RIP you’ve earned it Chance
Semper Fi Chad. Than you for your service. I was with E Co. 2/5 1st MarDiv. Capt 0302
In two seconds, Mr Bacon showed a depth of emotion, of anguish, relief, respect, and trust. All in subtle expression changes. Truely an amazing piece of acting.
Kevin certainly has covered so much territory. From Footloose , so young and athletic , dignified as 'A Few good men' can be, And then the darkness of a Mystic River, And perhaps most underrated for courage of character ruclips.net/video/w5S2FGFdT2o/видео.html
I don't think it was all acting. No one who was involved in making this movie could have been unaffected by it.
As a former Marine this scene hits home big time. It’s that letting go is the hardest part, but when he looks up and understands another marine will be watching over him. That’s when he can rest assure knowing a brother will make sure he is okay. Semper Fi my brothers and sisters where ever you are.
So many of us never seem to realize this type of honor, being our brothers keeper.
no sutch thing as a former marine paul 😏 you know that 😏
I saw this movie a while ago and it reminded me of all the times I stood and served on funeral details or memorial details while on I&I duty. Kevin Bacon did an outstanding job playing a Marine. Semper Fi, Marines - wherever you are and whenever you served.
you and me both BROTHER
From one soldier that's deployed twice to all those who have served, lost friends, family, and even had permanent injuries from war. Thank you!
I've never cried so much while watching a movie!!
Perhaps your tears were because of conceiving the beauty of 'Honor'. I suspect we practice such rituals to assist our warriors with having courage. Perhaps we can dance closer to the lines of death knowing that our death is not the end of us? That others will look after us and miss us when we are gone?
As a former medic working in Air Evac, we ended our shift by manifesting our patients on Aircraft going stateside the next day. Each one was called by name and their documentation pulled and packaged. As the shift ended and our relief came in, the phrase was "go get some rest, WE have them now. We will make sure they get home". Our nurses never knew until one of the 56th AES night nurses was there to check on and add a patient to the manifest at the last minute. From that moment on, the Nurse on Duty (NOD) from 56th was there each morning to participate. As we were relieved, the NOD would repeat the "mantra" back to both outgoing and incoming relief crews. This was one of the hardest movies I had the privilege to see. I am proud to have been a part of it. Colonel Morgan Wing, Commander, 20th ASF, Capt Ianucci, Capt Coleman, TSgt Ocie Neal, SSgt Harold Green, Sgt Mike Fair, Sgt s Schwentker, Rich Wingler, myself, Carl Magdanz, and some that I don't Remember, but haven't forgot. Great people, all. I will never forget the 20th. We were all "penguins" because we couldn't fly the missions but we carried more "water" that Gunga Din. P R I D E!!!!!
It should have made it in the film I was in the Army whatever branch you were in you were not alone his family will never be alone because we are all brothers and sisters as long as the constitution lives you live
He (Lt Col Strobl) never once glanced over his shoulder as he departed the room... he KNEW one Marine was watching over the other.
One marine is enough goddamnit
This is a VERY keen observation. I often wonder in the making of these films, if such subtle movements as you mention are planned by masterful direction or come naturally to all involved. In order for you to see this aspect, I imagine you must be one, much like I, who often looks back or checks in on responsibilities we leave for others to handle, for we tend to notice those things which are different from ourselves.
"I'll be here." This is all a Marine has to say to when relieving a Watch." Rest assured that has the watch word for 236 years. SEMPR FI

What !
Here because of the Kabul attack. This is one of the best and saddest movies I have ever seen. As a Marine who served from 2013-2017 I can only hope that my service even somewhat measured up to Chance, those 13 service members who died, and the countless other heroes we lost. This should be a requirement for every American.
Bring some tissues, you will need them.
Ryan, you did 'Take Chance', placing yourself on the Line, wherever that line was placed in obedience to God and County. But for the Grace of God it is you in that coffin. Where we go one we go all, and in all is the one. One of the 13 you speak of , Nicole Gee is one of our own here in our community of Roseville Ca. We filled our town Square to honor her and her family local to us recently. A retired brigadier General emerged from the crowd in our standing room only town square to share amongst many words of wisdom, We were reminded that our flag does not move by the evening breeze, but by the last breaths of our fallen soldiers. We are experiencing a rather disproportionate level of freedom from this Covid Hysteria here in Placer County, and for those of us who have walked the line know, this our Tree of freedom has been watered by the blood of our patriots having given us the ultimate gift of their life. Chris
Should never have thought of removing this scene.
It shows the dedication the Marines have for their own.
"I'll be here" was all the Sgt. had to say to put the Col. at ease and allow him to refresh himself.
Semper Fi.
But it’s the exchange and the simple but powerful sentence…”I’ll be here.”
I like this sene better than the sene in the movie. Helps to understand his ease in being able to take his morning run, knowing another Marine was standing watch. The sene in the movie left me to believe no one was “standing watch.”
Man! That just gave me chills! Almighty Father bless our service men and women all over the world. In Christ's blessed name, amen.
"Eternal Father strong to save...oh hear us when we cry to thee, for those in peril on the sea."
Kevin Bacon's range and mastery of his profession is unbeatable. Such a long way from "Everyone keep calm, everyone keep calm" in Animal House.
As Navy Veteran who served along side The Marines on board my ship in the the Gulf of Tonkin, I loved & respected this film more than imaginable. The Marine Detachment on my ship served as helo support for the search & rescue flight crew. We helped pull alot of men out & get them to safety, for which I'll always be very proud. This film is a beautiful but heartbreaking tribute to the Fallen. God Bless those who man the wall & those who support them. Thank you all. Semper Fidelis and Semper Paratus. Fair winds and following seas thru life.🇺🇲🙏
" I'll be here " . says it all. Thank you to : our police , firefighters , first respondents, service men and women , Veterans and the " greatest generation " . you set the bar high for the rest of us.
In over two decades of commissioned service, the most difficult duty I was ever required -- yet humbled and privileged -- to preform was as a Casualty Assistance Calls Officer in the early 1972. We appropriately grieve for our fallen and wounded comrades-in-arms, but our sorrow cannot remotely compare to the pain experienced by a mother whose youngster, with a limitless future, has been killed in action . . . I have experienced this first-hand. Although it is impossible, I'd like to require every legislator or senior Executive Branch official to serve as a CACO just once; were we to do so, I suspect the real price of war would become far more compelling and evident to those who send us overseas to fight.
@Andy Ayemin
We hold them dear forever, and I therefore believe they continue to serve as important role-models for as long as we live.
At the very least, any elected representatives that are in the Chain of Command, or aspire to be.
@@nancyduncan9552
Your point is valid, however, I’d suggest those in “the chain of command” is considerably too limiting. For example, the President’s National Security Advisor, the White House Chief of Staff, the Director of Management and Budget, the Director of National Intelligence, the Secretary of State, and MANY others (including their key subordinates) exert HUGE influences on the potential “shall we commit troops, if so what types and performing what functions, and what Rules of Engagement will apply” decisions. Yet, NONE of them are in the military/DoD chain-of-command (and the officials I mentioned are only “tip of the iceberg” examples).
I’d add one related point, which I suggest is EXTREMELY significant. In the last five decades, since conscription was eliminated, only .005 - that’s one in two hundred young Americans - have worn a uniform. And CRITICALLY,, that percentage is FAR lower for youngsters who have the sorts of socio/economic/educational backgrounds that are likely to lead to positions of the foregoing nature. Even worse, how many of those youngsters have even one close friend, or classmate or colleague, or teammate, or individual with whom they intimately socialize that has served? To document this key point, the plain fact is VERY, VERY few graduates of the Ivy League, MIT, Stanford, Duke, Chicago, Northwestern, Cal Tech, Berkeley, etc. even consider interrupting “their climb to the top” or receiving less-than-superior compensation - regardless of the professional arena they’ve selected - by spending perhaps five years in our military service.
The obvious result is when they’re called upon to make vital “life or death” decisions, they are factually clueless regarding the REAL price that may be paid. It’s one thing for the Secretary of Defense to tell the President, “Sir, we could suffer two hundred KIA in this evacuation operation,” BUT it’s an entirely different thing for either official to appreciate FULLY what EACH of those deaths will almost-assuredly mean - to the family (and their economics, as well as their everlasting heartbreak), to the community, to friends, teammates, classmates, and so forth.

I can’t help tearing up when watch this film, being a Marine and attending many services after I returned from Vietnam. I drove the chaplain and an officer to make notifications and also was on color guard detail. Seeing the faces of loved ones at the services, seeing the shock and disbelief of the family during notifications. I remember being told not to show emotion, I am human it was one of the most difficult things I have ever done and to this day still haunts me. David Castillo USMC 65 - 69.

Marines, I truly want to thank each and every one of you and every service member that came before me. Had it not been for EVERY ONE OF YOUR SACRIFICES, me and every service member thereafter would not have the equipment, training, guidance, or knowledge to make it through our deployments. May God watch over you and comfort your Souls.
Honor, Duty, Country
My wife and I rented this movie with out never seeing it. After watching it for 10 minutes, we knew that we had to buy it. We own it today. Much love and respect for all of our soldiers. Semper Fi GUYS.
This was the most moving film I've ever seen. I cried all the way through it. My son came home from Afghanistan with PTSD, but he did come home and for that I'll be eternally grateful. My heart truly breaks for the families and friends of soldiers who have paid the ultimate price. God bless you all.
This movie tore me apart. My cousin is a Marine and when he wears that dress uniform he lights up and shines like a beacon. So, so proud!! He is now stationed at Camp Pendleton but did 2 tours of duty overseas. We went to visit him twice already. :-)
Your cousins service is glorified by your ability to witness it.
Wish this scene was kept in the movie, it expresses the pride and dedication of not just Marines but all servicemen. This from a retired US Navy FMF Corpsman who was also in the Air Force prior to joining the Navy
Perhaps now this scene circulates as if a treasure hidden in the field to be found by only those who are worthy of its keeping.
This scene was in fact in the movie! (Maybe not the snippet showing the wife and kids,,,
I wish they would have left this in. I love this movie. So moving. My son is an Army Veteran and I'm thankful he made it home alive from the sand.
As a former Marine and Nam vet and disabled I still have that pride that was instilled in me when I was a young man. No matter where I am or where I go I will always be true to my Corps. I have rarely cried in my life but when I saw this movie it hit home and I did weep for my fallen and injured Marines. Semper Fi my brothers.
Roger, I’m a Nam vet too (1stMAW DaNang 69 -70) and I never refer to myself as a former Marine. You and I are just non-active Marines. Semper Fi, brother.
Mr. Mcshane as the son of a Canadian USMC Vietnam veteran im glad I found and read your post your words are the truth I like my father and you men served as well and deployed multiple times . All I wanna say sir is you have my utmost respect and Semper Fi sir.
You are a Marine. And you will Always be a Marine.
Strength and Honor!

I am a Marine living with civilians now, and I feel the same way, thank you for your words.
I loved this movie. As a former marine i was really touched by this scene, i really miss the guys i served with. No finer people on earth. May God bless all of our military, keep them strong and safe.
Getiton no such thing as a former Marine, we're marines until the day we die Semper Fi
@@devildog6899 - That is 100% true!! Once a Marine, always a Marine. :-)
I watched this movie on Memorial Day and being from a long line of service members this was really difficult to watch but it was also heart warming to see how well a service members body is cared for from the time they arrive at Dover until they get home. It's such an honor to take care of those service members to get them to their family and final resting place.
I loved this movie! It had me in tears! Kevin Bacon did a wonderful job!
I don't know if Kevin ever reads these comments. If he does..... Congratulations, I never ever saluted anyone. Then this movie gave me the urge. Thanks, Kevin Bacon.
TO ALL U.S TROOPS! Thank You SO MUCH From A No Body ENGLISH MAN! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!! XXXX
I've seen this movie and felt every emotion draw out in this film, it's touched me in so many ways. Being an Army Vetern, I know first hand how Marines take care of their own. I felt honored to watch this movie and the deleted scene would've fit perfectly with the characters mindset.
I wish they would have left that scene in the movie. It shows the deep commitment Veterans feel towards one another.
"Taking Chance" is my favorite movie to watch Memorial Day weekend. Kevin Bacon's performance is right-on!
To all my brothers and sisters that made it back from deployment God bless and congrats.. those who were lost....you will not be forgotten
Former Marine 1/1 - should have kept this in the movie!
+David Bond , I agree, but then again, very few of us understand the depth of what is transpiring.
David no such thing as a former Marine. I'm an Airman and will always be.

@@greenbrickbox3392 lol you've never heard of the saying ONCE A MARINE ALWAYS A MARINE?
@@charlescreech6767 lol yeah I've heard it for marines, I've never heard it for airmen.
Kevin Bacon was perfect for this role. I know, he's an actor, but watching him in this film and in "A Few Good Men", it's difficult to believe he wasn't a Marine before he started acting. A good, quick run is rest, for a Marine.
I took my best friend back to his hometown when he passed. I went through it all. I was spit on, cussed at, and called unmentionable names. Through it all, I persevered. It wasn't the memory of the family and friends that I was honoring it was Jon and laying him to rest. Best assignment I ever had.
Awesome 'tear jerker', made this grown man bawl like a baby
you are not alone in that
That scene gave me chills.
Thank you to the director for making this film. It brings out the best of Americans. It is among my favorite movies of all time and never fails to move me. Thank you, again, for your work.
That's Marines for you, "Get some chow, maybe rest up a bit." So he goes for a run!
As a Marine, I am also privileged to know personally, three men who worked on this movie. One is my cousin, one is my brother and one is my nephew. They were the Lead set dresser and part of the set dressing crew. I received a memento from the set, a Marine Corps Emblem, crocheted and hung on a wooden hanger. It was featured in the VFW post, used in the movie. Semper Fidelis Marines.

+Don B . I would thank you for your service, however, I see you already possess the honor of the journey few of us are given to know , but just the same, thank you.
There is something about the Marine Corps that we who have never served will never know or understand. At my father's funeral many years ago, about 20 members of the Marine Corps League attended (red uniforms- they were in Taking Chance also). I'm sure none of them knew my father, but he was a fellow Marine who needed to be buried with the respect he deserved. So, they all took a half-day off work and attended the service on a cold March day in a little town. I was so touched by the gesture.
This is an outstanding movie - start to finish - touching and respectful in so many ways!
I've seen the same honor and dedication among Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Soldiers.
Yes, the same honor exists amongst all the branches. In my extended family we have had people serving in all branches. But, as a former Marine whose son is now a Marine, I will tell you the bond between Marines is different. Hard to put into words, but when you get ready to go to war on an absolute shoestring budget after eating pain for X number of months or years, it's just different. The level of pride and honor is more than the other branches. I have known more than one career military man who confessed to me that if they had to do it all over again, they absolutely would have gone Marine Corps. This mystique is what terrifies our enemies and motivates our young Marines. Only another Marine understands.
A fallen hero is never left alone😢
This is an excellent movie ...
To all our military men and women, there aren't enough thanks or respect in the world for the gratitude I feel for what you have sacrificed for us, God bless each and everyone of you and your families for your service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Amen!
You are welcome
For 10 years I have been part of a veterans group that provides Honor Guard for funerals in two counties. 2 of our members came on wheelchairs. A number of us use canes. At least one member has been doing this from the mid 1970’s, he helped organize the group.
There are at least two father and child pairs in the group.
5 of our members have died while I have been in the group, plus 2 of the spouses.
We don’t leave anyone behind!
@askmeif Thank you. I retired from the Navy 3 years ago. That is not to brag, just that I had the priviledge of working with and around quite a few Marines, many who actually worked for me (in Aviation). I always directed my "wayward" sailors to them. There was never a "ME" attitude with any of them.... This is a real scene for them.
I never appreciated these types of things, even after I was on a funeral detail while serving in the Army in the late 80's. Even then it didn't hit me until a went to the military funeral of a High School friend. Ever since that time I cry hearing TAPS, Amazing Grace on a bag pipe, or see a 21 gun salute. Watching this movie had me in tears for the majority of it.
And so it was your good station to remain cool and detached, sustaining your task in the fullness of attention. What a gift your treasure was stored for you so patiently, so in your day of rest, a store house of gratitude and honor is yours in our Kingdom.
Wow! That hit hard.
Cindy, I spent 3 yrs(70-'73) @ MCBCAMLEJ, before I jumped in SE Asia rice paddies, I was a part of the bases's CASO office. I helped over 20 families with their loss, I know this's a reality, a sobering reality, it touches yr soul and never leaves you. SEMPER FIDELIS!!!!

As an 8 year old kid living on base at Camp Lejeune in late 60’s, I remember seeing several times the government vehicles and Marines making notifications to families of those KIA in Vietnam. At the time I had no idea what was going on. This film is so well done and brings tears.
It is certainly the epiphany, what we see when we are children through young and innocent eyes, then, when older, we remember what we saw, and wisdom fills the gap. These tears are a knowing of what can not be put into words. Personally, when I read of others speaking of their tears , such as you , those of us who know tears can rest that we are not alone in what may sometimes seem like futility.
Why was this cut...I think it is one of the most important scenes in the whole movie...he was never alone and never forgotten...the entire point of the movie IMO.
I loved this movie. Send it several times each time I still 😥
The love and trust..... damn
Marines, like all servicemen and women are special. My friends dad passed away...he was a 'retired' Marine. What did I see at his recieveing? A group of older, but strong, marines...in uniform... saluting...and trying to keep their tears in check.
Bless the armed forces.
That's because it's a brotherhood that not even Death can break...
It should have stayed in. His wife and family were sleeping peacefully in their home, while her husband was keeping vigil over a Marine who fell protecting the families ability to sleep in peace and safety.
This movie was done with the utmost respect to the way Marines take care of each other. In battle, race, sexual orientation, political affiliation, and view point is Mute. We are Marines. I have had the duty of doing this many times. Went to every funeral I could if I was in country. It is heart breaking to see the faces of those who are at lost. And as a senior officer, I put allot of those guys in harms way. I remember living in Germany when they came to our door. My father was a Lt Col back then. My oldest brother had got shot down in Vietnam. My parents changed instantly.
@booksbenji Agree or disagree with America or the Military objectives, there is the Highest respect for the "Integrity" that the Marines bring to the "Word". It this day and age, the meaning of words is falling away and corruption is everywhere, and it is refreshing to witness that there remains a segment of humanity which holds true to honor a the words spoken by living men, as a living code of honor.
This is even more true 9 years later Chris. I was 10 when this movie came out and just now saw it. Especially amongst our current issues, it’s hard to see any integrity in people anymore. But I can still agree that it is indeed, displayed to its fullest by the Marines
@@PMCJohn I hope this is received in respect that it is meant, we do this not for the dead, but for the living, and in this the dead are resurrected in our hearts living more than they were in life.
i have this movie..i watch it every nov.10....i was in the Corps for 22 yrs a Viet-nam vet with 2 tours. and everytime I watch this I cry..for our loss, for our Marines. That is why I put together the video Marines final salute.
Welcome home Brother
Thank You For Your Service.Semper Fi
Incredibly moving.
This movie has resonated with me. I was in Ramadi at the time of Chances death.
so emotional movie and so informative, thank you all that served Ooray!
This scene was in my video that I bought .
This was a very good movie.
Wish this not cut, this is extremely important for the families to know, the comrade is never left alone. Even at the funeral home/church/gym, they are ALWAYS watched over.
Should have kept this in, it is a great film every student in High School should see!
i saw it yesterday in my class and that made watching this 10 times more amazing to watch since you know we always gotta do work and stuff in the class and didnt really have many movie days and plus we had a substitute teacher who was pretty nice and most of my class was quiet only 2 or 3 kids whispering very quietly though and this was around 3/4th period in math class so we just sat there watching the movie for 2 whole class periods watching this amazing movie after that we went to gym and also watched another movie and to top the day off we went to a 1 hour and 30 minute assembly for our veterans and that was just amazing and the assembly lasted until the bell rang. Anyways im just talking about how my Friday was enough of that i just loved this movie, its incredible.
I am a teacher and I don't think that kids these days get enough of this or ever understand. With that in mind, I show it every Veteran's Day to remind them that all Active Duty and Vets need to be respected and thanked for their service.
I had the honor of serving as a Casualty Assistance Officer to a family and will, to this day, be eternally grateful to have been of service to the family in this time of great need. We who serve(d) put on the uniform and said we were willing to pay the ultimate price and yet, very few of us knew what the impacts of paying that price would have on our family and friends...not until it happens does it all become painfully clear. Thank you to the men of 7th SFG(A) who stayed by the side of their fallen comrade, like as was depicted in this clip (its a service thing, not just Marine) as it gave great comfort to the family knowing their son/husband/father was never alone. Thank you to the wonderful servicemen and women and their families who continue to serve today.

Having lost a few friends and having the honor to lay a friend to rest while I was a Marine, this movie really gets it. This scene, as short as it is, tells in a few short moments such a larger story.
Chris, it is a blessing that you have suffered such losses, beholding the value of another human being more fully than most. The honor you pay is the honor which is paid to you, as we see ourselves in our fallen brothers.
@@askmeif I left my wings on that casket and on the 30th anniversary about 6 of us from all over the country traveled back to that grave in Ohio. The family had no idea that we all still remembered. I think that gesture really touched them. Im glad they appreciated it. However, it wasn't for them that I went. The selfish part of me that missed my friend brought me back. I lost several others I knew over the course of several helicopter crashes back in the mid 80s. Some who died were really close though. I only had the honor to fold the flag over one.

@mgwilliams1000 . Seriously, that is a very good observation. I know it seems trivial, and we think to ourselves that perhaps the directors or actors may not even have intended this, but the truth remains, that the spirit tells us a story greater than the directors, writers and actors actually imagine, and the movie becomes something bigger and more substantial. I hope you continue to apply your observations to many movies, they are the treasure hidden in the field. Thanks for commenting.

@NathanGorman28 Best wishes to you Nathan in the service of our country, these are going to be trying times, I pray that you will have the discernment in your service, to remember the Spirit and the People to whom you serve, not the machine that is its infrastructure.
A very small scene, I really think it should have been included as it showed so much of his commitment to and the importance of his duty. I just watched the whole film and it was powerful.
Yes, I found that this scene depicts the presentation of honor that transpires not for witness of the public, but in the solemn issuance of honor unobserved. Thereby, it is an irony that this scene was not included in the proper movie, but left floating in the internet for many of us to discover as if a secret meant for the few, the proud...
A key facet to this scene, and one probably little noticed is when they are doing the montage of the colonels family asleep. There is the shot of his wife and you can see the outline of her breast under her shirt. She’s not covered with a sheet or blanket, and there is a reason for that. Femininity is that salve that treats the emotional wounds men endure. Colonel Strobl is dealing with painful things in his life, and the shot doesn’t just show his wife in bed, it shows his very feminine wife as his refuge. It’s a subtle but brilliant shot because it appeals on an instinctual level.
my respect!!!!!
When my husband. A disabled Vietnam Veteran passed away..The Military stood guard for days. Never tiring or complaining. 5 years have passed...I know they are just a phone call away if I need anything. Forever grateful ❤️❤️❤️
Very touching....
4 237 yrs that's it has been, will be and always will be. It's called trust in 1 another, watching the "6", it's called "HONOR". OOORRRAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Please let's not forget that it's the Air Force that brings the men and women home alive or dead. And it is the Air Force personel that tend to the remains of those fallen at Dover A.B. preparing them and assuring that their remains are in the best possible condition for their final trip and viewing for the family and friends if at all possible. Although Corporal Chances remains were not in any conditioned to be viewed by family and friends and was a clised casket funeral, the Personel at Dover made sure Chance was cleaned and dressed in a brand new class A marine dress blue uniform with all if the correct rank and service awards. I was part of my Uncle Laurens Honor Gaurd at his funeral. Uncle Laure was combat infantry Marines and served a tour during the Korean war. I am retired Air Force and was requested in his will that I stand with the Marine Honor Guard at his service. Marines don't just take care of each other. All branches of the US armed forces will watch over and take care of each other. We may pick on eachbother, we may not always agree and get along with each other, but we are all family. Brothers and sisters in the best of times and the worst of times and we will always " be here" as the Sgt. said for each other. We will watch over, protect and comfort each other until we are all called home.
To all my brothers and sisters serving past or present. Whether you're Grunt, a jarhead, a squid, or a zoomie, I love each and everyone of you and I will always do my best to watch over you when youand if you ever call upon. I will pritect my family with my last drop of blood and my last breath until we are all called home.
This sooo should have been included ...
