Royal Marine Veteran Gives Son Green Beret In Emotional Moment!

[@empire-classfirenationbatt2691]

Being a diamond just says all you need to know about the kind of person he is. Well done, Bootnecks!

[@trevortaylor5430]

Lee has every right to feel a very proud Dad - a moving moment seeing him present that much valued and hard-earned beret to his son. Best wishes to both of them.

[@adriansams6066]

Guys like these are the backbone of our country and my God how we need them now.

[@wtfbuddy1]

Nice looking Family - Dad is proud and son is gleaming that his Father presented the Beret.

[@bevboakes8982]

Well done to you both ,He now has a new family which we are all proud to be part of. Once a marine always a marine.

[@nickpage473]

Well said Bev

[@bevboakes8982]

The green lid will always be a family, and proud to be part of. We all know what it took to earn it.

[@R.U.serious]

I think both Dad and Son should both be very proud of each other.👍

[@bigmartin]

That was super, well done both son and dad, from another soldier here in McKee Barracks, Dublin. Royal Marines, wow 💪

Great story . I had the same feeling with my son we had the pleasure of jumping from the same plane we skydived over beautiful HAWAII it was his first jump I went first and landed as he came in to the DZ the smile on his face was priceless after we went for beers and burgers what a great day I will never forget it.🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦

[@grahambarber2766]

Lifetime membership of the best brotherhood in the world. Wish my dad had seen me join and pass out. All the best to you both 🍻

Hero Dad gives Hero Son his green beret, what a proud moment for them both and the rest of there family. Just goes to show how many Heroes the UK has.💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@chriscollingwood6650]

"... When my leg fell off..." sounds a bit along the lines ".. t'is but a flesh wound...". Thank you for your service, and by extension, thank you to your son for his service to Queen and Country. While some may not value what you and your's do, have done, and will continue to do, there are others out here who do appreciate all of this, and are thankful for it.

[@idleonlooker1078]

You raised your son to be the man he now is, and he will do you proud. Well done, Sir!! 👍

[@piershuggett1576]

Well done both of you! My son still asks after you all these years later.

[@hamiltonhughes2968]

Hoofing Royal.... a moment to treasure... have been blessed to be at end of 30 miler for both my lads ... will never forget that feeling.. here to a great career for your lad Lee 👍

[@rodfair5698]

God bless you both!

[@ianredpath8359]

Proud moment, and well deserved! Bless all who serve!

[@smudgealdrin1512]

A Son is known as a legacy... Cannot imagine that Marines pride handing his Son his Commando Beret.

[@garykingston7060]

Congrats to you Frank and your lad for going the whole way. I was privileged to do the same for my son last year. It was very emotional for me that's for sure.

[@DS-rb1su]

So brilliant ! You must be immensely proud!

[@gb9065]

Congratulations all

[@drinksnapple8997]

My (late) father gave me his 2nd Lieutenant's bars on my commissioning date.

[@JammyDodger45]

I've still got the original Green Lid which I was presented with over 30yrs ago. I'd hoped I could pass it to my son ... but the little git went and joined the Para Veg 🤦🏼‍♂️. You obviously did a better job raising your son than I did raising mine Lee. BZ Royals x 2!

Amazing well done lads

[@worldgroover]

Nice one Lee, to both father and son, well earned. I never got a chance to do that with my dad when he served and I then followed him in to the Corps, my one big regret. I do remember you from Stonehouse when I was next door to you - you still playing guitar ??

[@stun9771]

Some times life gives you rewards for all your hard work….this was yours… BZ Royal…

[@christopherdean1326]

Judging by the row of medals on your chest, you got around a bit mate! Best of wishes to you and your son.

[@marynorton5820]

This touched my heart I d not usually put my foot down but insisted my Husband at time find his son and write some letters. My step son was ina war zone And I had never met him but I insisted he had his son's date of birth and social number my husband served in same branch as I but we met whe we were out as we call it over eight years, and He found him I wanted father and son to have an oppertunity to try to build a bridge and starte a conversation This failed but I was hoping they could leave the past i past and at least talk once in awhile as Dads. There comes a time As I to am a miliatry vet we have to confrount the past and try to help peaple get back with family memebers or friends. One time at a reunion of my school I brought a picture with two copies over two grilfriends I know in my highschool and had them both laugh and make up over a boy the found out they were both seeing. I said listen neither of you stayed with him and your were friends over four years could you try to talk this out they at once hugged each other and cried. I head they are still friends so i do good for my mates who broke there friendship over a male rival. He is not here you both are and loved each other like sisters they even hugged me also.

[@marchonore]

Like father like son. A pity they didn’t manage to break the circle and the son got to do something of value. You would have thought that after what happened to his dad that would have been a wakeup call for most people. Tragic.

[@sawredford]

Would you say that to their face I think not!!

[@marchonore]

@@sawredford You can’t change other people. Doesn’t mean I can’t say my piece like everybody else here.

[@PB-hr3hy]

Disrespectful of the service those brave soul and those who paid the ultimate price. Do something of value? Them serving have more value than you being alive.

[@marchonore]

@@PB-hr3hy Absolutely right. I have zero respect for their choices. Service? For who? As a government paid enforcer and professional killer? Please. The British armed forces always mop up poor relatively uneducated flotsam and send them off to do the dirty on vulnerable people in third world countries around the world. The really dangerous jobs like mine and IED clearing always go to the cannon fodder from the former colonies like Fiji and Nepal. I have far more respect for anyone who - despite being poor and uneducated - avoids taking the easy way out by joining the army. There’s far more honour in staying poor and not laying waste to some other poor country. Unfortunately the British have a long and vainglorious history of bombing the bejeezus out of other people.
