I was a Naval Aviatior for 22 years, been around the world about 10 times, and I got enough hair on my back to make an Indian blanket, and stories like this just turn me into a blubbering mess. God bless them both.
I did a big awwww when I read the story. Then I saw the video and the Marine and that was it for me.
And thank you for your service, sir. The Navy has a soft spot in my heart (my Dad was a Navy doc in WW2 (Pacific theatre) and Korea.
Fly Navy !
