Does that mean he can no longer tell her to go to her room or clean her room as she out ranks him?

[@xerxeszero586]

She doesn't out rank him cause a retired officer can be re instated if necessary

[@thorinthered8127]

Not many 2nd Lieutenants have the gall about them to throw an order at a 26 year Veteran SFC. Rank is one thing, but general respect is the name of the game in the military.

I was deeply touched by this Dad and Daughter's love for each other. So proud of both of them!

[@rosaondarra-barron8835]

What a beautiful relationship they have. My dad was also an American solider for 26 years and considering I am only 23 years old, I know first hand what soldiers who are serving and those families members who are left to carry on their lives,having little or no contact between them. My dad was deployed when I was born and didn't get to hold me til I was 6 months old, he missed me graduating school, also missed me going off to prom, and then going to college. I have so much respect for my dad, he gave up so much but at the same time taught me so much. So just to finish off a would like to say a big THANK YOU to those who are and have served xx

Respect to you sir. A father, a hero and a soldier in that order

After our passing out parade my dad gave me my first salute. He was in RAAF during WWII & thankfully stayed in country. I was so proud after graduating Officer Cadet Training.

[@13thBear]

That is so sweet and I recognize the "specialness" of this occasion. I was a former NCO in the Army and I trained at Ft. Benning, GA, in the 70's just a short walk from the OCS barracks. I really enjoyed the true, old traditions of the Army. Congrats to the new officers and their Silver Dollar Salute presenters.

[@jmajikjames7361]

This is so awesome. My oldest son wanted to join the marines but as a combat Vet, I told him after he graduates boot camp, he'd be going to Iraq. Thank God he didn't join yet if he did, it would still make me proud. I did cry at my daughter's graduation from college and she said "Pop why are you crying? You're a combat Veteran". I could only tell her because I'm sooooooo proud of her. I had no more words, only hugs & kisses.

[@tywanderbush2796]

Wow this is awesome. The love between the both of you is just so genuine and so obvious. Congratulations to you both as well as to your family for their sacrifices.
