I am sorry for the loss of Col. Weber and hope his family has found peace over the years. Thank you Sir for your years of service and dedication and for his family be comforted that he is standing guard over the halls waiting for your reunion.

Not sure if anyone still reads these comments but I have to say something. Rest in peace, Sir. To have the courage to sing this song, among the courage to be one of the best and brightest officers in the entire military is astounding. May you continue to rest in peace and may your family find continued strength in knowing someone as honorable as yourself.

Beauty in this world is hard to find, but I know it's still out there. Or maybe WE have to find the change within OURSELVES and share it with someone else who needs a smile or an encouragement, or even a free breakfast. It costs nothing to extend a smile or a helping hand to someone in need. But it leaves a lasting impression, believe me. 😉 This was a beautiful song, sung beautifully. Deeply touching. When those brothers embraced, I cried right along with them. I'm sure many others shed tears as well.

@bearpapie69 you atheists just can't stand that believers have something you do not...your nastiness is just so obvious...keep your hate to yourself....its really ugly....you must be too! I'm going to pray for you....like that or not!

Two brave men. Rest in peace Sir, you have left your son with a loving memory. God bless.

From a U S Army Retired (1982 - 2005) Iraq War Veteran myself, to Lt Col Mark Weber's family, may he Rest In Power, as I say "Thank You Sir" for his service to our country. I see this is an old video, however, a Veteran's story will NEVER grow old. My deepest sympathy. You are NEVER FORGOTTEN. I pray this family heals in strength and numbers as the family will continue to grow in his legacy and honor. Peace & Blessings 💯🙏🏾

It's 2021 and I'm just seeing this and crying. Thank you for your service Sir. RIP.

[@laurylacava3358]

Thank you. This is why God gave us fathers..to teach the children who walk in his footsteps . May God bless all of you, what a blessing.

@@antoniakoreiba6704 yes, Fathers with the integrity to be G-D fearing are a vanishing breed, He has given the most cherished blessing on his family they could ever have.

[@terencewhalen7174]

Truly an inspiration. Bless you and the family. I saw Lt. Col Weber passed away in 2013. Rest in peace and thank you for your service.

[@ryanleininger1931]

I come back to this video, often...very moving. His son should hold his head high. Praying for this family.

[@beckybetsworth4366]

How they were able to get through that without crying until it was over, is amazing. So poignant.

[@johnasher5684]

I still cry over the many Americans both north and south back in they day that gave their lives for this nation. The ones today who also done it like these two!! Brave men... It always hits deep.

Life is so precious dont waste it and stay positive .

[@michaelb9554]

Oh my God! I lost it when that boy hugged his father and began to cry... So sad.

[@isabellancali5388]

I cant help but cry knowing that both my paternal grandfather (navy) and father served in the military (dad in army and National Guard) and both died of colon cancer. I imagine this father here also singing to his own father and knowing he will meet him again soon in heaven. 🙏🏽❤️

[@SultryAngel]

I am not sure how they were able to get through the song without crying. What an amazing father & son. I hope he found peace as well as his family. God bless you all and keep you safe.❤️🌺
