[@szqsk8]

My late husband served in Vietnam, USAF.He to,d me of being called a "baby killer" and not being able to find work so he left the US to work overseas in the Marshal Islands and eventually returned to the US. He never made a big deal about his service and he always squirmed when people would thank him for his service. When he passed I made sure to have the American Legion there at his memorial service to fold his burial flag and play Taps. Legion Riders were there to do a flag line outside the church. I wanted everyone in that church to know he was a veteran. God bless this gentleman in court and for the Judge who supports military servicemen and women.

[@arjun220]

while snowflakes wanted to treat them they are very special.

[@3_KNIVES]

I walked up to a Vietnam Veteran (because he had a ball cap on displaying it) and told him, "Thank you for your service in Vietnam and I'm glad you made it back alive." I shook his hand and walked off. Then a few minutes later he was crying and his wife was hugging him. In my heart I believe I did the right thing. These Vietnam Vets went through PURE HELL! This bullshit war murdered at least 58,000 soldiers all because of the "Gulf of Tonkin Incident". Which the U.S Government admitted to lying about.

For traffic infractions maybe. But there's no way he could be a criminal judge. He is way too soft on people. All he does is listen to excuses and make excuses for running red lights and speeding.

" I am not looking for anything special as far as my military experience Is concerned". You didn't bring it up, I did " said the judge. What a man! And what a judge!

[@GuyPipili]

That veteran is a man who's real and down to earth. And he was insulted for serving his country. Thank you sir for your service. And God bless this gracious judge who's actually human with a heart.

[@channing76]

God love American vets, as a Canadian I recently visited DC and the Smithsonian's, and I want to tell my American friends how much i love and appreciate them as a people and a country. Very proud of you all.

[@normcheers6870]

May the Lord bless this man. Thank you Judge for the kindness you gave to this vet. He sure is a humble man.

[@RockerFinland]

These veterans are so different if we compare to those veterans who sits on the Late Night Shows and brags about their actions. My deepest respect for him.

[@chonchobar378]

I respect all veterans. Even those who brag about their stories of combat.

[@ZuckerBubi]

Ptsd or just war in general effects people differently. Some just loose their grip on being calm, some bottle it up or some somehow are able to get over it.

[@Bioflunz]

It is how you know if someone is telling the truth or not. Someone that has "seen stuff" or "done stuff" doesn't talk about it.

[@chonchobar378]

@@Bioflunz not true. For some its a type of personal therapy. Its the only way to justify the things they had to do in a combat environment or things they couldnt do/ werent able to.

[@chonchobar378]

@@Bioflunz its the difference between saying “i killed a mother in front of her child” versus “ i saved my whole damn team by shooting a terrorist that had a bazooka in hand... im da man”

[@robe.2424]

I almost cried watching this. It's fantastic to see someone in the government showing real gratitude to our veterans. It's also very nice to see a judge that treats people like humans rather than treating them like they're beneath them. We all make mistakes. A badge or a gavel doesn't change that. At the end of the day any person can make a mistake and I respect people who realize that.

[@AdamAdam-kh5wf]

He is really a humble and even a shy veteran man. God bless Judge Caprio for being very merciful with him in his ruling.

[@mikelilla9402]

Thank you for giving this veteran a break. You show that there is hope for humanity yet. Bravo!

[@suphowdy]

my heart goes out to all veterans for the way they are treated when they come home😌

[@anilkoditkar9344]

Heart melting judgment. Great Judge.

[@thenagadiaries7731]

Now those are two good men being able to understand each other like real men. And that's what real men do.

[@redd-gf7iz]

Thank you for your service strong veteran.. and incase you haven’t heard it before “welcome home” THANK YOU FOR PUTTING YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE .

[@gragrn]

Now that is a great judge, applying wisdom and compassion to help rather than to punish. God bless you sir!

[@isaacibnoumaryama5779]

His lil daughter so proud of him . God bless this judge

[@narutofan802]

this guy gives me hope. i’ve been so on and off depressed during quarantine and seeing how humans can still be genuine and innately beautiful people like this gives me that spark of life i think i’ve let drift away in the last year or so

[@jinxpowers]

I'm drifting away from myself, but no longer sinking and drowning, but whenever like you said people are just kind, it puts me back together anew all over again. I'll see you at the finish line of hope and dreams come true, much power to you

[@narutofan802]

@@jinxpowers same to you🔄🤲☀️

[@davidrobins4025]

It is so refreshing to see a judge who can show compassion. It is deeply moving to see Judge Caprio demonstrate compassion to a person who served his country at a time when that service was not appreciated - even ridiculed. Oh, yes, be a little more observant at the RED lights for your own longevity (and others).

[@michaelpheney2993]

I can’t thank the judge enough for giving veterans a break like that. I’m a struggle veteran living week by week. Thank you for the hope for humanity.

[@jeevanpj99]

All the best dear sir. God bless you. Love from India 👏❤️

[@shawnhumphreys9261]

I like that judge...I've seen him a time or two n he's not only a fair and impartial person but a heart felt individual and sympathies with people

[@lokiwick8050]

Good judge giving respect to veteran is a very good thing. Live long judge

[@erickvazquez8555]

This guy looks like he could be a cod character lol

We have just witness two people of great character and values interacting. If there were more people like this, our world would be in a different shape.

[@globalconfideration1254]

A square maybe...🙃

[@lancestancliffe4885]

We need Gentlemen like this in the UK, our Veterans don’t get looked after in the UK instead the Government decides to prosecute and our Judges don’t give them the respect they deserve. My utmost respect to you Judge, from a Yorkshireman.

[@MMICKELS1]

This judge has a heart of gold!

[@gonzalomedina6064]

The judge made sure the vet's dignity came out intact. What a human being. My respect and admiration.

I went with my parents to pick up a family member from the air port after Vietnam war. It’s a memory that is unforgettable !

He is a great Judge, a Judge with dignity and respect especially to those who served our country. People like I bow before
