A softly spoken vet. A calm demeanour. A thoughtful response. This man would be an asset to any organisation; public or private. I wish him nothing but success & happiness.

[@JayConstantine]

That’s the PTSD drugs working. Probably suffers from depression/anxiety.

[@dabossfraga9493]

AMEN TO THAT!

[@OmgItsZakkE]

We idolize celebrities who play hero on screen when men like Kyle are the true national treasures. God bless him and all the men and women in uniform.

[@JasonBrown-dd7dj]

Never better words spoken

[@RobertSmith-hr6cr]

I was 0372 with Marine 2nd Raider Battalion in the Sangin District in the Helmand Province in Afghanistan when this young Devil Dog leaped onto that grenade to save his brother Marine and bestfriend. I remember hearing about it and thinking man what a truly selfless act, but when we heard he had survived it......Brother i prayed every day that you would continue to fight to stay alive and recover. I was honored for just having been a Marine in country at the same time as you. You are truly an inspiration to me and knowing of you and your heroic actions and your fight to survive helped me a lot in my own recovery after almost dying from wounds i received a couple years later. I retired with an honorable discharge after 24 years of service. It started with me joining on the delayed entry program in June of 1990 and leaving for bootcamp at Parris Island 3 days after i graduated high school in June of 1991 after bootcamp i went to MCT at Camp Gieger of course when I completed that it was a short walk to SOI while in SOI i got the opportunity to go to Recon selection which started an almost 2 year training period from BRC to Jump School then Combatant Diver School and then assigned to 3rd Force Recon Company then to 2nd Force Recon Company until they disbanded in 2006 i then went to MARSOC as part of 2nd MSOB until i retired in 2015. I just want to say that your attitude and demeanor towards your recovery and how you stay humble as a CMOH recipient was a big driving force in my recovery and readjustment to civilian life. Thank you for that God bless, God speed and Semper Fi brother i am truly honored to say that i served at the same time as you.

[@fabbat1713]

Thank you for your service.

[@coltbergman9847]

Thank you so much for your service im a sophomore in high school and I want to do the same thing as you or at least strive to try an accophlish all these amazing things as you have my current plan is to enlist in the 03 field preferably 0311 and then try and become a scout sniper and then do that for a couple years to become eligible for force recon and Marsoc selection I've always wanted to strive to be the best I can possibly be and I won't feel complete unless I accomplish these things again thank you very much for your service and sacrifice that you did for all of us.

[@fatcheech1]

Respect to you brotha.

[@PBS132]

He and you both are amazing men!

[@Autobotmatt428]

Wow! So even the Raiders new what he did before any of use dam. We really need to fix the CMOH recipient proses. It takes way to long for some men to get it. Also Thank for your service and for restarting and continuing the legacy of Carlsons Raiders. God Bless

[@tscott6843]

20 year Marine here,. This is a powerful story beginning to end. I cried when Kyle talked about Jennifer comforting these terrible injured young men on the flight back.

[@meshaft]

Hearing Kyle speak with such humility and love for his fellow service members softens my usually calloused heart and brings a tear to my eye. Kyle is a HERO, and should always be honored as such. I can't even begin to express the respect that I have for this man and many others like him.

[@daltonwilliams8272]

He watered my eyes a few times.

[@patrickwood9724]

T.

[@anon-iraq2655]

how is he a hero he went to kill some mountain peasants who never did him wrong and he managed to lose against them despite all the advantage

[@joshjacobjonesjoshjacobjon2899]

Really cut deep hearing & watching this, I was wounded too pretty severely but I'm doing alright. Better than many are which I'm thankfull of especially those who put a broken man back together just like this beautiful human being. I'm blessed to be here like endless amount do including person friends an I took so much from being in the military. I'm from 🇬🇧 & I was lucky enough to meet many amazing Americans & people from all over the 🌎 something that really hit me hard was the moment he spoke of who was going to love him being in the condition he was physically but also emotionally as I'm sure everyone can atleast resonate with that, not just the injured. Everyone really should do as much as they can, despite how little of a thing it may seem. There's many many organisations that do more than people can imagine but everything counts it really does. What a beautiful man he is inside & out an as his book says everyone is worth it. I want to wish everyone who reads this a wonderful day & life wherever & whoever you may be! Just want to ask one thing an it's to donate just a tiny bit to a organisations who help amazing people like the man you were watching, you will be blessed in return for your act of kindness as everything from Psychiatrists to Surgeons an places giving ex military a purpose as too many are dying each an every day because they're lost an have no purpose and every thing costs but it isn't insurmountable as many think. So please if this video really hit you as he said people can't continue helping them if there's no funds, thats a true killer of amazing humans. As they aren't able to help an put people physically an mentally broken back together. much love to everyone I hope you are having a wonderful 2022!! 😀 & if you do choose to be a part of helping people like him & me then thank-you so much, it's amazing feeling like you actually made an impact to a life of those protecting all of us around the world. ❤ Peace out my friends 🙏

[@anon-iraq2655]

@Caleb P hero is used for people who show outstanding achievement in a noble pursuit he had no achievement in a pursuit that was anything but noble i don't hate the guy, he chose to do awful things for money, most humans will choose that, but i don't respect him or consider him a hero either

[@Squatch34]

Even in his struggle to recover his thoughts weren’t on himself but on his parents, what a selfless warrior

[@jahazielguerrero945]

I was lucky enough to run into Kyle at our local bar in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina and he is such humble man. It was safe to say that he did not buy a single beer while on his short visit there. Semper Fidelis

[@alextownsend8624]

Thank you for your service, you almost gave everything, and did give close to everything and people like me complain about going to work everyday. Your a hero and an amazing person all together and I hope you and your family live long and healthy.

[@estern001]

This old Sailor salutes you, Corporal Carpenter. God bless you!

[@captainsensible298]

What a humble impressive Marine, just downright outstanding

[@dabossfraga9493]

Right?

[@OwneyMadden430]

He’s got the thousand yard stare

[@rockstarJDP]

What a lad, never once did he give himself any credit, only credit to everyone around him. I'm not ashamed to admit that he brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing x

[@lottesrensen8004]

What an extraordinary young man. He fully deserve the honormedal. He is a man in the best meaning of the word

[@MrCRAIGSHILL]

As a crippled Army combat vet, I love this guy and how he sees/speaks about things! It is men like him that make going on bearable

[@Thatguy-fg4fp]

I was lucky enough to go to college at USC while he was going there. Dude was always a legend down at five points. Super cool and would talk and be friendly to anyone who approached him.

[@egon3072]

My heart broke when he told his cereal story!!! Just absolutely in AWE with his story! Can’t wait to buy his book!! When will there be a movie for this man!! That Medal of Honor was earned and couldn’t have been given to a more deserving and well rounded man!!! God Bless you LCpl Carpenter!!

[@khaosgaming4438]

Check out the podcast by jjacko willink with him the greatest 4 hours you could listen to

[@J-Kabar]

That part of the book made me cry. Not just a few tears, no, a full on crying session

[@denigong9708]

Oh man the tears just started flowing when he talked about Ryan's mother looking after him as well. That one hit me right in the heart strings.

[@hhottsfishing]

God bless you brother! Thank you for your service sir!

[@georgerice4402]

I just love this kid. He is what makes me proud to be a veteran. Because this great man will always be my brother. Thank you.

[@CmThayer33]

Thanks for your service. So good to see that America can still make heros like this young man.

[@ronhaworth5471]

Words can't measure this Marine.He said best I am a vessel for those who gave all.A nation is honored for yours and the many that have and still serve OUR USA!

[@kevinbrooks1104]

The other mom treating you like a son stirred some emotions in my heart, I sincerely hope for the best possible outcome for you and your family, I also count you as a blessing for my simple freedoms that I take for granted. I'm impressed with your service and humility. Your story has made a difference .merry Christmas and thank you sincerely kev

[@fabbat1713]

What a great kid/man. We need more men like him.

[@djlansing2724]

Even though this happened when he was young... He dived on a grenade. He's a grown man, not a kid. (have some respect. No young man likes being referred to as a kid) You could be 50 years older than Kyle & you would still be considered a "kid" compared to him.

[@anon-iraq2655]

people who go to kill some innocent mountain peasants unprovoked and get wrecked despite all technological advantage?

[@nousername4956]

Kyle I hope that you’re doing alright and that you find/have found peace in your life brother. Don’t forget that you’re worth it as well. I loved your book and find myself thinking about how Marines like you and those that came before us would respond to something when I’m facing challenges in my life. Stay strong. Semper Fi

[@Toms3rdNut]

What a stong man. I'm so happy for people who have a family and support. Stay strong brother

[@jdryak]

Kyle makes us all better people for hearing his story. Our own pains and petty struggles too often are as nothing to what this genteel, gracious hero underwent. We give thanks for such magnificent people like Kyle. Let us never forget them or their service.

[@unadillariveroutdoors9690]

This Mans story is such an inspiration. Thank you for your service sir and god bless you and your family!

[@donnyrandolph9614]

God blessed this awesome young Marine!!thank you sir for your service and sacfrices! We have the best military on earth! We love and respect our soldiers in Marion Nc 🇱🇷! I actually got to return the favor and show the utmost respect for a young Sergeant from FortBragg last Christmas when he was enroute to his family for leave when he broke down! I thank God I was working that nite to help and meet this young Sergeant in need.it was the most inspiring event to ever happen in my lifetime! We all pray for Sarge every nite.hope and pray I get to see him again someday to thank him for his great service!!

[@najeemartin2496]

Love all the Military legends from SC. From NY but, growing up here in the south I always heard of military legends from the state and it’s always given me a sense of pride!

[@MrBrentles]

Such a calming voice. Mate, you are a legend and you are going to be a great psychologist.

[@eshelly4205]

What a humble, grateful young man.

[@mikerozman5472]

Wow. What an amazingly compassionate, articulate, generous Marine! Semper Fi! God bless you and all the other families!

[@johnholmes6741]

You’re a fine man. And a brave man. Thank you for your service. And thank you for telling your story. If there was a picture in the dictionary under the term “he has guts” your picture would be there. I’m proud to be an American because of guys like you who did the hard part of defending my rights. You’re a great man. My dad was a marine, Vietnam vet. You guys, and all service members, make us proud.

[@pennyschwenke9192]

[@bpintogsxr1000]

Dude looks amazingly good. Damn they did a good job.

[@jimtate4146]

Love Kyle’s book. My son Jacob Tate served with Kyle but was in Echo Company. Unfortunately he didn’t make home. God is still good. We will be reunited.

[@PBS132]

This man is absolutely amazing 100%

[@mmedley2998]

[@michaelvacco5955]

American hero 🇺🇸

[@richardwilliams323]

After listening to your story on my lunch break Im thinking of how blessed I am to be an American. Kyle thank you for your service. God bless The United States Marine Corp!

[@ravivo2001]

I am a veteran IDF officer, served as a paratrooper . 25 years ago I had the great honor to train shoulder to shoulder with marines. theses are top shelve guys which I feel privilege to meet and and to train with. Kyle's story truly reflects the courage and values I was fortunate to see during those trainings.

[@babayega_]

You shoot at guys who have sling shots and rocks. Your army gets no comparison to real vets.

[@aaricamason02322]

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Thank you for serving, Kyle Carpenter!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸You are a perfection that goes far above and beyond the greatest achievement or biggest producement that science could have ever made. Again, thank you for serving our country!!!

[@burtthebeast4239]

Beautiful story. Thank you Sir, God bless you ALL 🙏

[@lisaellis2361]

What an awesome life lesson he explains. His gratitude and love for life is overwhelming.

[@lounaticlouie]

The best interview I've seen yet. Thank you for your service. God bless.

[@skippermjm5713]

Whenever I feel down about my country, myself or whatever, I listen to these respected warriors & what they sacrificed & been through & it brings tears to my eyes. God bless all are service men & women & their families.

[@erikredding2308]

Thank you Kyle! Wow what a story. Glad your here with us. The world needs more people like you! Thank you for your service. 🫡

[@calvinbranstetter3414]

Thank you brother for your service and telling your amazing story God bless you and your family

[@TheRealThorFTW]

Man I was 10 when Kyle did this stuff. I’m now in the army as a squad leader and haven’t seen any combat or even a deployment. Kyle is a brave man and an absolute savage. He’s the type of guy that made me enlist and serve my country. What an absolute killer of a man. He’s what every young infantryman hopes to even slightly embody. A true inspiration into what selfless service for your country is.

[@josemariagarcia1099]

This man, this Marine has lived every aspect of the ethos espoused by the Corps. I have twin 4 1/2 year old boys. I would hope for them to grow into the man that Kyle Carpenter is. And, above all the magnificent aspects of this man's character, I believe his humility and down to earth demeanour is the most endearing of all. There's too much chest thumping and disrespectful behaviour in today's society. Everybody should watch and listen to this man talk. I myself became a Marine in 1987. Semper Fi Kyle Carpenter. God Bless.

[@rileyjothecorso9732]

Thank you all for your service for our freedom and your sacrifice for this great country hats off to all of you my friends God bless you all ❤️!!!!

[@robertsmith7536]

Thank you for this Brother Semper Fi!

[@ernestdougherty3162]

Kyle is definitely one blessed young he's a humble young man truly blessed and truly my hero and I think he should be everybody's hero and should always be considered a hero God bless you and God bless his whole family and God bless all our service members including our family member that serving in the Afghanistan right now

[@Randomyoutubecommenter]

This man is a hero, may his name never be forgotten.

[@Socrates21stCentury]

Thank you for your service Sir!

[@debferguson7354]

Please staying safe and healthy. God bless you! 💜💜❤️❤️👍👍👏👏💪💪🤗🤗💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@braydenhorne1594]

Something I've noticed is that after serious injuries Marines don't give up for example my grandpa. He was a Marine and he stepped on a landmine in veitnam he lost his left foot and he didn't let that slow him down. It's amazing how Marine just don't give up not matter what

[@devonsonger358]

I wish I could like these videos more than once. My only regret about not being on social media anymore is that I can't share these Heros' stories. God Bless all of our service members past, current and deceased.

[@JSomerled]

Very well spoken.Appreciate your service,and your continued service as a MOH recipient.. Your attitude and thoughts on carrying that medal are perfect.. it is heavy..

[@stevenstrother7129]

Thank you for your service sir. We love you for it.

[@1vigorousdragon]

The emotional pain of realising the long road ahead can be as deadly and toxic as the injuries and infections this young hero received during his recovery. Allowing oneself to Purge that internal pain and hurt is vital for our service People to survive after the event Lest We Forget!

[@coreywilliams1557]

I look at him and can’t believe I’m 90% at the va. This man deserves 100x what I get.

[@andyhoms2001]

What a great American, and fine young man.

[@lucmc123]

Every time I listen to Kyle speak I still cannot figure out how he has survived that grenade blast

[@nathangoddard8115]

I don’t think we can ever thank you or all the servicemen and women enough.

[@Fmr.PBABowlerJoeJenkinsII]

Kyle is a true hero. Thank you for your service.

[@juliefeasal8878]

An amazing man! Thank you for your service!

[@derrickwalker538]

Hoooah! I’m a 41 year old vet and I am proud to call him my brother! I hope to maybe cross paths with you one day since my actual brother lives in Charlotte too. Love you Kyle and thank you!

[@rtagliagambe]

I’m a non military individual with a profound respect for those who have made the decision to serve. Amazing life story.

[@bambam52251]

Having a hard time hearing these Vet videos. Please turn up the mics cause these videos are priceless.

[@buckwild5039]

Very collected individual. Thank America and God, if believed, for warriors like this man. Lars Swanson 0339 should be on your radar. Absolute Devil Dog. Thank you brother

[@giannimolluso5846]

This Man unfortunately did pass away a few times. God sent him back as an Angel to watch over and help others here on Earth.

[@XxBloggs]

Yeah. No.

[@DD-kc5pw]

The stories of these CMOH heroes should be mainstream.

[@G.FosterWildWolf]

Stay Strong, Kyle!! 💪😎 Those Marines that wrapped up the Legs of the Casualty, imagine when they heard that it was their instinctual first aid that both slowed the bleeding from the grenade AND deflected the Morphine syringe that would have killed him. Those Marines must have instantly had a very intense recognition of respect for their Brotherhood, their training, and their Heart's as Men, and as Marines.

[@shaker7804]

God bless you Kyle.
