  4. This retired Army NCO salutes a very classy act by these Marines. Semper Fidelis, young Marine.

  6. I didn’t think a Marine could look any better in his dress uniform but I was wrong. That Marine’s date makes his uniform look better than any other I have seen.

  7. The look on that young lady’s face is utterly priceless and no doubt she’ll look back happily on that evening for the rest of her life.

    Semper Fi, Marine.

  12. Damn Marines….

    Always showing off !!!

    Semper Fi from an old Army Grunt and damn proud of it too !!!!!

    Beautiful pic and an even better thing to do !!!

    I love it !!!

  13. Something in the air and in my eyes.
    Getting choked.
    Hard to see well enough to type.

    HOOAH you class act Devil Dogs.

  14. Not sureof the exact quote, but to the effect, “There are none who stand so tall as when they stoop to hold the hand of a little child.”

  15. God, I’m proud I still wear the uniform…

    Very classy, it’s nice to see a good news story these days.

    Semper Fi

  17. The cool thing that I am seeing are the stripes.

    Mature NCO’s who get it.

    Right on, boys.

    Great job.
