Had the privilege serving with the SgtMaj with the Lavadogs of 1stBn3rdMar in ‘81 WestPac cruise. Semper Fi and God bless SgtMaj!!!🇺🇸

I couldnt imagine how proud he and his mother were

[@michaelbuckley7884]

I spent 7 yrs in Iraq and 1 year in Afghanistan as a contractor and before that in the army as an infantry man. I hate the term of thank you for your service. I prefer to use thank him for being a marine and taking care of his men and protecting his country. Marines are great soldiers and care deeply for their fellow soldiers and country. Congratulations for a job well done above and beyond the call of duty.

[@drannoc100]

Thanks for sharing. Civillians wouldn’t know without your input. Many doctors don’t like to be called “providers” which I understand was historically used by Nazi towards Jewish physicians.

[@LouielamsonTranNguyen]

A War had divided America and forgot American Heros. Furthermore, the rewards for a hero soldier has been so long forgotten. A soldier had defined for his actions in the battle of Huế -1968. Apparently, John Canley is a true hero and he deserves recognition. However, still have many American soldiers heroes of the Vietnam War, need recognition and deserve to rewards. Congratulations and best wishes to John Canley. God Bless.

I'm a retired Army SFC (P), I salute this true Marine, Hooha Marine!!!!!!

[@eddiesimms9301]

All honors go to Sgt. Maj. John Canley. President Trump has a presence about him that commands respect from eveyone whether they like him or not. Ronald Reagan had that same QUALITY as well.

[@jameservin7056]

I TRULY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE Valor and Virtue to you Sir.

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

I thank God that America has been blessed with warriors like Sergeant Major Canley, and that he has been properly honored for his service and sacrifice to our great country.

[@larrywuzhere3866]

President Trump delights in honoring our military, taking the time to get the survivors and comrades of Sgt. Major Canley company to the Whitehouse to celebrate the events in Vietnam Nam 50 years past. Donald Trump is a much better Commander and Chief and President than I ever expected he could be. I am grateful to the Lord for elevating him to be leader of the free world. MAGA!!!!!

[@MileHiJimi]

Trump refers to fallen heroes as "losers and suckers" He doesn't belong in the room with a hero like Canley. Bravo Sgt Maj Canley!

[@chestyp0311]

I don’t care much for Trump in the least bit but I pay close attention to hand shakes and what I’ve seen in the past is him shaking hands with other leaders, including presidents with a hard domineering overhand and slight turning it downward. The way he let the sergeant major put his hand over his and then shake the other one on top of it tells me he had genuine respect and gratitude. If nothing else, he truly does have respect for our heroes. Probably the only good thing I will ever say about the man
