Color Blind Veteran Finally Sees Colors of the Flag He Fought For. His Response Will Melt Your Heart

[@fbvmivfma5237]

“It always was” no truer statement even when you’re color blind

[@oachare-braineddeejayz3888]

amen brother 🇺🇸💪

[@bilboweasley7086]

I love that the flag is one of the first things he looks at. I'm not even American and that made me smile..... A true patriot.

[@slapaho1234]

"How about that flag, beautiful?" "It always was" Thank you for serving.

[@someman7]

Only God is beautiful. Idolatry is always a dumb idea. The sense of nationalism makes no sense. All shall pass in this worlds, countless countries and empires have. Only the heavenly Jerusalem will remain by the grace of God. Gather your treasures in Heaven. Fight for the greatest Benefactor, and the absolute Good. Do not grow old in the hardness of your heart. Because Jesus "wants you!" for the army of the Lord. The army that does not boast in violence but in Love of Christ. The army that wins by sacrifice.

[@pepevonkek7803]

I have to agree!

[@jkj10]

@@someman7 Only God is beautiful in the eyes of the ones who believe in that concept and just like you say that nationalism makes no sense (and I agree with that, don't get me wrong) so does the fact that so many people put their trust in some invented, never proven entity. I think it's pretty sick to keep thanking God for just about everything that's good in your life, but when it comes to starving people all over the world for decades and decades it's, according to the ones who believe in God, part of a different plan we're unable to understand or some other vague excuse they come up with. So, no, imho, God is far from beautiful.

After reading the comments, I thought I would come here and tell you that my mom was behind the camera and my grandpa (we call Popsi) is typically a very quiet man who doesn't say much. My mom had to lead him with questions. I think my Popsi was overwhelmed. That's why he was so quiet. This is not an ad for the glasses, but a testament to my grandfather's love of the country he fought for. This was not in any way scripted. Thank you to all the nice people like Carol here for your comments.

[@impumagirl]

Yeah so overwhelmed that you made him come outside off his favorite chair for this ... ah ha!

[@Rogue-Drone]

Your grandfather is apart of the most upheld, honorable and highest esteemed people we are luck to have in our society. Thank you for sharing.

[@Betty_Virago]

My dad’s about the same age and his reaction would be the same, they pretend like it’s nothing, but we all know the truth.

Love that he can see colors...something we all take for granted...God bless him and his family

[@gsdtravels6457]

I think it was overwhelming for him. His hand gestures are very similar to my late father, so I got emotional anyway. Happy for Pappy, glad he gets to see the colors in his flag. 💜

[@maryannedelaney]

He’s taking it all in. God bless him.

[@jerrysears7607]

"it always was." (Beautiful) I'm crying for him.

[@GoWestYoungMan]

Telling him he's not colour blind any more before figuring out if they work? Judging by his reaction, they didn't work.

[@diegoluis5770]

Even tho everyone was more happy than him...Mr. I salute you with all the respect possible and thank you so very much for your service.

[@TrudyPatootie]

Sweet... My parents were Marines. I hold Veterans close to my heart. I could tell he was just overwhelmed and very touched. What a wonderful family you are. Please tell Popsi that I thank him for his service so we can enjoy freedom today. xo

[@mvj1153]

Can you even serve in the forces if you are color blind?

[@westingtyler1]

i wouldn't hype it up so much ahead of confirmation they work for him. they don't work for 20% of people, and the "you're not color blind anymore. you're not color blind anymore." could only pressure someone to pretend they have an effect just to not disappoint the gift givers.

Dad is a prideful man!! He will appreciate it more in private.

[@dfromdub]

Finally somebody that does not break down and cries as soon as he puts the glasses on

[@Dream-kg8yf]

"It always was" Beautiful and touching

[@HerrJoehnke]

Well, maybe it would have been nicer to just let him experience something instead of dictating what is happening to him. Because those glasses might take a while for him or might not even work at all for him.

[@Furious217]

He fought in a horrible war. He's over it. Lol. God bless you and thank you for your service, Sir.

[@Ivan.A.Churlyuski]

I’ve watched many of these, when the person puts them on without knowing what they’re, the shock has them standing there seemingly unimpressed.

[@CommentFanatic]

The Spectosphere apparently it generally takes 15+ mins to work properly. I guess it also depends on the type of colour blindness you have.

[@DGRIFF]

I think it is too much for the brain to process, after being accustomed to a certain way since birth. A simple "this is how we have always seen the world" is when the colorblind person realizes what is happening.

[@BUHNANUHBREAD]

He doesn't give 2 shits!! 😂😂😂

[@musicnoobpentragon3474]

Watching this type of videos always makes me appreciate colours so much more

[@martinwood2219]

Stop telling him what he can see 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@bipolarvortex]

Thank you for your service, Sir!

[@jamesblunt006]

Why are you telling him what he sees or doesn't? Would you just shut up and let him see what he sees.

[@greggriggs3913]

It pisses me off that some people ask so many damn questions. Just let the wearer have time to take it all in. So many stupid damn questions. Just step back and let the person absorb it all. It's like this kid wants to put words in his dad's mouth. Is this beautiful? Is that beautiful? Do you see the flag you fought for? I mean come on, this isn't about you, it's about your father. I really didn't like the "giver" here who just had to interject himself into the event. Step back. It's not about you. Just shut up and let your dad enjoy the glasses. You effectively made this about you. I didn't even finish the scant 2 minutes and 54 seconds.

[@slu66y]

you're one to talk lol read the damn pinned comment.

He is old school...like the tvs from back then. They had no color..just black and white.

[@wmnoffaith1]

Some parents are like that. My mother was like that. No matter how much we spent, no matter what we got her, she either complained or said nothing. They should've donated the glasses to someone who would've appreciated them. I've seen guys cry when their wives gave them these glasses. Oh well. I feel bad for the kids. I know what that let down feeling is like. We redecorated my mom's whole house. Paint carpet, all new furniture. She basically had the same reaction as this guy, and we were crushed.

The glasses take longer to work depending on your brain elasticity, and this guy is fairly old--so likely they weren't fully working yet. This video is only 3 minutes.

People who have not come across this genetic anomaly before can take colours completely for granted. It can actually be dangerous to the people with this condition. Can you always tell by smell if a steak is no longer quite so good? Are the traffic lights always all three present, can you see which is, if not? Marine Navigation lights can be very confusing, to "mild" red/green colour challenged poeple. Do you instanly stop at a red warning sign, what if it just looks black? To a soldier seeing through the camouflage can be useful, but a lot of other things can be harmful. I love colours, they make life so much more infinitely beautiful, my colour-blind, dyslexic and word-blind relatives and others I don't know, all deserve respect and help when we can give it. All the best.

[@vincentbain1392]

Is this about the dad being able to see colors? Or is this video ALLL about the person making the video? Because it seems to me that the dad is not as impressed or excited about it. In fact, it seems that he is a bit "put out" that he has to accommodate the self involved person making the video.

[@londonlight9731]

Lmao

[@RavenTheLabrador]

I'm wondering if he's one of the small percentage of people that they don't work for it's hard to tell going by his reactions it's like it's no big deal and no different. Anyways I hope that after his eyes got a chance to adjust like some people need with this that it was even better or even just working for him a little bit. Anyways thank you for your service I hope that your world is happy and filled with lots of colors. 🙂👍✌

[@slabriprock5329]

Dr. Why Fuck you. The title of the video set expectations. I saw nothing to melt my heart, but that takes nothing away from this gentleman's war experience. I've spent many nights hearing my Dad's screams from his war (WWII) nightmares so I get that. The uploader picked a title to get clicks, or their heart was melted because they already know his personality and saw something in his reaction that we wouldn't since we don't know him.

[@westingtyler1]

avoiding critique of a slightly misleading title by hiding behind someone ELSE's patriotism isn't so great. even though there's not much indication, and a lot of peer pressure in the video, i hope the glasses work for him, but I wouldn't stand there TELLING him he's not color blind repeatedly. that could only pressure him to pretend.

I understand that the glasses take time, but that's what makes the video so cringe. Normally they explain to the person what they are and a little instruction on how they work, not "you're not colorblind anymore dad!" Even if they worked that wouldn't be true.
