"I'm honoured to be able to wear it. But it's not mine." Wow. Just wow. Thank you for your service.

[@sarkar6778]

hearing Sargent Clint Romesha talk about his feeling for Medal of Honor , proves that valor and patriotism still exist , its an honor to hear him talk about his service 👍👍👍👍

[@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany]

It's an honor to call him our friend.

[@timlleber6498]

He came to benning and stopped by Cav basic training and talked to one of our classes. I was privileged enough to be able to sit in and listen. Hes an awesomly humble person.

[@cbquid2513]

Yep. Heroes don't talk about heroism ... they DO heroism. Thank you SGT Romesha.

[@ryanbabineau9037]

Red Platoon was one of the best books I've ever read I could not put it down once I started

[@farmrrick]

Yep great book . That is leadership .

[@CreedenceFanForever]

Not only a true American hero and patriot, but obviously a great guy as well. Thank you for your service SSG Romesha. I just ordered your book.

[@DaebakMonkey]

I really hope Clint got free coffee for the rest of his life.

[@brucelombardo]

DaebakMonkey no. I want BRCC to make what they deserve.

[@Specter516]

Free coffee more like free everything

[@Caderic]

@@brucelombardo Good for you, but for every bag of coffee BRCC sales, they give one away, so it's part of their business plan.

I served 26 years in the Army as an Aviator, and you guys make me want to go back and do it all over again. There is much I would do differently. I miss the Army every minute I am awake. You are my heroes.

[@63Baggies]

I'll never forget the look in his eyes at the award ceremony.

[@armyvet19kilo48]

Thank you for your service. I was in from 97-05. 3 years in Germany. My MOS was 19kilo. I was part of the first ones that went to Kosovo.

[@scottgudsg]

His dad gave him a great advice. Know that you're going to see and do things that that you could never imagine... I was never in the military. I missed Nam by a month. But I lived and worked in Ireland during "The Troubles". Later joined law enforcement and am now retired. Saw and did things no human being should have to do or witness... Choose wisely my friends... I loved his book. A very good read.

[@neanderthor66]

I listened to Red Platoon last week on audible. Excellent story. The situation got me nearly as frustrated as 13Hours did.

What an outstanding everyman that doesn't seem to know how extraordinary he is ....I am sincerely humbled, and thank you for reminding me that the virtuous man is a humble man.........my Memorial day prayer: "God bless every person that the medal represents to the recipient who now carries the burden to speak for those who no longer can."

[@JACKNCOKE223]

Excellent video... I have only met one MOH Recipient, WWII Veteran John D. Hawk... I was simply collecting donations for the VFW when I rang his door... What was to be a simple hand shake and thank you turned into an hour of stories... His were of course from WWII, and mine were from being a Sergeant in the Washington Army National Guard before 9/11... Before I was in Iraq, so all I had was coffee lattes heated from the exhaust on an M1A1, mixed with cocoa and shelf life forever milk... Emmy Award winning stuff compared to a genuine Hero... He offered me a beer, but I was on (civilian) duty... Now that he's passed, I wish I could go back and split a 6 pack...

[@mwhitelaw8569]

[@rayyanchami4777]

Just got this book today. Thanks BRCC for the content and thank you Mr. Romesha for being a real hero, despite how you may feel about that word yourself.

[@Electriclineman]

Thank you for this video..... No matter what you think you are a True American Hero... It's great men like you that keep us safe at home and from the bottom of my heart I thank you..

[@jmichaelcarbonniere9549]

First off, allow me to thank all of you guys for your service. I have nothing but respect for anyone who had the guts to join and do the things that needed to be done. And thanks to BRCC for bringing guys like Clint Romesha on and allowing them to tell of their service. Hero's all, as far as I'm concerned. I am not a vet but there is one thing that just drives me nuts, when people refer to the MOH as the "congressional..." The fact that they approve it and are associated with it in the mind of the people is bad enough and it breaks my heart to hear vets refer to that way.

[@zachcd390119]

Just watched The Outpost last night. Had this saved on my watch list and realized who Clint is. Impeccable timing

[@gman5626]

great great story thank you both for your service. you are all amazing people!

[@jrussell089]

Thanks for talking about this Clint and Evan, looking forward to reading this.

[@mactagg8814]

I feel honored that Clint gets to wear the MOH for us. Carry on Clint!

[@63Baggies]

I'm happier that it wasn't posthumous.

[@user-td1zo3tv9p]

I served. I came. I saw. I got fucked up (physically and with booze...go figger). I got out and did my thing and am now (medically) retired because of my military injuries, but as an old Fuck, I have to admit I am ALWAYS I awe of Men and Women like this MOH Recipient and it (kinda/sorta/almost always) brings on the eyeball leakage to hear and see these unassuming people speak. They don't seek out accolades (well, not too many do) or the limelight for their own personal gain and I am humbled by their existence! Thank you, Sir(s), for your Service to our Great Nation. If I ever get to meet you I'd truly like to shake your hands. While MY service (Cold War "Warrior" HAH!) was pretty much non-descript, I appreciate those who have gone on to do great things with their lives. God Bless you and your families.

[@stevil1300x]

Excellent book. Thank you for sharing the story Mr. Romesha. And thank you for your service.

[@jwil9050]

[@eagleclaw9766]

Now that The Outpost came out my respect has flown sky high for the men who fought in that FOB I met the medic in the movie at a bar told him my story and he and his bud punched me in I cried after they bolth said they would take me to war with them any day he wanted to give me the pin but I couldn't expect couse I now had the scars and the memory of them I think about them every day and hope I get to see them again or they see this and remember me it was at a bar in Idaho

[@PrepperRussell]

Here's my fun fact. I worked at the same company as this guy in North Dakota, I saw him in passing a few times and I saw fiddlers green on a wall in the safety office. Me being a fellow cavalry scout asked who was a scout and another safety guy said, "oh that's Clint's." "I am getting ready to fly out because he is receiving the MoH." Of course me talking to a civilian who may have misunderstood what was going on I brushed it off thinking, " yeaaaah right." I never heard a word about his story until he had left the company but worked with his father in law up until the day I left myself. Never got a chance to meet and talk to the man but I have always heard great things and that he is a humble man. His father in law is also a great guy. I am glad to see him doing well and that he hangs amongst the Black rifle guys and Matt Best, my favorite KZbin video producers.

[@tierone4761]

Josh Russell I myself have had the honor of meeting Sgt. Romeshea, and driving him to a couple events when he was in Canton, Ohio as a featured guest along with other fellow veterans that received the M.O.H., for The Patriot Project. It’s held every year as a Black Tie Event to help as a fund raiser for state of the art chiopractic care for veterans. Clint was very graceful to speak with & always took whatever time was needed to speak with myself or anyone else for that matter. Never the “hurry up I gotta go type at all”! Good Day to You!

[@jho240]

Picked mine up at a px somewhere last November. Read it over a few day period! Great book. Clint does a great job introducing the platoon and bringing everything together before the battle begins.

[@shootindoc1jam_n80]

I have been fortunate enough to meet Roy Benavidez and Leroy Petry (sat and bs’d with him twice... very humble) and want to say thank you for your service and for being there for and with your brothers. Cheers to you 🥃☕️

[@larrywelchko6136]

It is always amazing at how humble the guys who get awarded the CMH are. I understand fully why.

[@ACOG_batteries]

My self was never able to serve an it's something that Don's on me daily all I can do is stand at the ready an stay in shape. an honor each an every one of you with hand shakes volunteering an the stars an strips in are front yard

[@nielrossouw7831]

just watched the movie. Clint is a serious bad ass. Respect

[@TheSgtPain]

The thing I notice and respect about the BRCC operation is in this conversation, is Sgt Romesha is speaking with eye contact. Veteran to veteran, as where that didn’t happen with the CBS interview.

[@user-td1zo3tv9p]

Hard to look another person in the eye, one you have NO respect for as in the case of the media pukes, versus a fellow Veteran, regardless of what they did MOS-wise. With the media you need to play nice in the hopes you can achieve YOUR agenda (sell your book or whatever) and USE them for YOUR Goals. You just hope they don't butcher the interview and Cherry pick parts to make a story that is pure bullshit (!!) and anything OTHER than the truth! USE the media to get America back on the path to greatness. Other than that they are a massive (!!) POS existence and on par with Bottom-Feeder lawyers IMO.

[@SobaOfPulaski]

My brother had the honor to meet Romesha at a VMI Leadership Summit that brought in all Military Schools in the State of Virginia, and he says he was the most humble guy he ever met.

[@ryanebrecht5651]

I literally ordered the book on amazon as I was listing to the video.

[@Joe-kx6hn]

This is how you tell the difference between a true hero and a glory hound (who normally end up dead or getting others killed)... Every hero I have seen denies doing anything special and gives credit to all those around him. You are a true American hero!

I'm hoping that I get off work a little bit early today and have enough time to go over to Scheels in the Coral Ridge Mall here in Coralville Iowa. Why you might ask? well that is the only place that I can find Black Rifle coffee other than on internet. Then I could order it online but I'm down to one or two days in my old bag of coffee. Goes about 1 a week. So I need to get out get over there and get my Black Rifle coffee but wanted to explain why I go out and get it. True it would be easy to go pick up some generic crap at Walmart or whatever but you guys stand for the veterans. That's exactly why I make the extra trip and shell out a couple dollars extra. The bonus is it's great coffee and I really enjoy it more than anything I've been getting for a while. So keep up the good work

Clint, if you see this, did you know SFC Forrest Robertson? I know he served in the 506th in Habbaniyah as a SGT or SSG. He was a Cav Scout...super hilarious guy and excellent soldier, one of the best NCOs I ever served with. Unfortunately, he got killed in Afghanistan back in 13.
