      My friend, Hank Cramer is currently getting ready to release his book on the first Green Berets in Vietnam. His father was Harry Cramer, first soldier- and first Green Beret to be killed in Vietnam. Hank followed in his father's footsteps- becoming a full bird Colonel in the Green Berets- and is highly decorated. Perhaps you would want to reach out to him for an interview?

      It happens I didn’t have anyone on family day, some families can’t afford to fly or really don’t have a family but I’ve seen other families tap a person out that’s not their child so they don’t stand all alone.

    Reminds me of my father and I. He served 4 tours in Iraq when i was a teenager. I went into the army right out of high-school, and my father was able to come back from deployment for my basic training graduation. As a full bird Colonel he walked up to our formation, (every one was looking nervous seeing him, including the drill sergents) and gave me a hug. Few times I've seen my father cry.

      I've actually seen it happen as well. A guy in my unit was just informed of his mother's death. We were already past basic and were in advanced training for paratroopers learning jumps for a month so it was a bit more relaxed. So this guy gets told by a female luitenant colonel of his mother's passing. I saw him break and kind of like shrink a few cm it was a weird sight but this high ranking officer goes into a hug and they go down to the ground together and she's just sitting there hugging a recruit. Honestly I never expected to see something so heartbreaking but also heartwarming at the same time. I was only allowed to be there because he was both my best friend and also battle buddy. He actually got some time off to compose himself. Now 2 years later he is great friends with that officer.

    I was in holiday in Miami from Scotland a few years ago and gave a couple of American veterans a British Army salute. They were well pleased.🇺🇸🇬🇧

    I didn't have my mom that day. She died when I was about 12. And this video makes me cry a lot.

    Why am I crying? My goodness I'm getting weaker and weaker the older I get. Sweet loving moment forever stored in time.

    Just watched this, have to admit had to take a couple of seconds for a cry. Right in the feels.
