A video showing an emotional Marine saluting his son after he becomes a second lieutenant has racked up more than three million views on TikTok in the last few days.

“I’ve watched you grow and mature and become the man that you are today,” said Fisher. “You have always been respectful by saying, ‘Yes, sir, no sir; yes ma’am, no ma’am.’ A salute is a sign of respect. It is a privilege to render you your first salute.”

Lovely story. God bless those men.
What a touching moment.
