Marines run in where all others fear to tread. Never has a uniform been more beautifully worn nor medals so brilliantly shone.

[@mr.sherlockholmes6130]

The Highest award you can receive. SEMPER FI Kyle you are a true hero . War is hell. There is no greater service to your country than to do what you did Kyle . God bless you always Marine . My brother always .

[@chuckmiller3431]

I sure hope he was older than 24yr because the vp said 18yr to 24yr were stupid. If this young man was in that age group that's the ones I would want fighting for AMERICA 🇺🇸

[@chuckmiller3431]

Thank you Kyle, for your service and sacrifice and,for your family's sacrifice. Thank you well done .

[@rexoates4484]

He made a conscious decision to sacrifice his own life to save his fellow marine. You can’t get any more courageous than that. Big salute from an old peacetime army grunt.

From a retired Army officer to this hero - Well done Marine!

[@bobkd5fjd823]

As I sit here wondering how 24 people could possibly give a thumbs down to this very deserving honor, I have to remember there are those that can’t see the forest for the trees. It is so sad when I see this occur, it speaks of ver shameful individuals that have trouble showing compassion for their fellow man!

[@rppope1006]

Cowards don't like knowing there is people out there better than them.

[@jimmehlich6093]

I am a veteran. I understand his selfless act of courage for his fellow marine. He is a shinning example of what we should all be as Americans. As John F. Kennedy said " Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country" He did just that.

[@GM8101PHX]

No matter what branch of the Military we have served, we are extremely proud of this Marine for his selfless gift of saving the life of a fellow marine. All branches vow to never leave a man behind, Kyle defines that! Congratulations Kyle!!

At 1:00 the female Marine on left side of the screen, the only one standing directely at attention position. That's how we show respect in the military, without orders given, by your self, deep and profound willness to pay tribute. Thank you Marine for beeing this few, proud, to show that respect to this Hero.

25:21 Maybe now some tall and 'tough' guys have finally realized that being short does not mean having a lack of balls or durability. My comrades at the German army had to learn it, too. ;-) Greetings from a 5'6" German former 'PFC' (OR-3). An awesome Marine you got over there!

[@blackopsy9]

@@ThePreparedSailor True heroes stand for something greater than themselves. In this case it was protecting the life of a fellow soldier. Though I would go as far as to say the majority of the United States Military are not heroes, in fact, they are tragic figures. To enlist in the United States Armed Forces now is to enlist under a flag which bears not 50 stars but one. Not 13 stripes but two.

[@tdog5878]

This man is a true hero that todays kids need to know about. John 15:13 There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Praise God and it is only by God’s grace that he survived this. God bless and keep you safe all the days of your life Kyle.

In Finland we have this saying that "kaveria ei jätetä" means "don't ever leave Your buddy" That's in finnish army. That is what You exactly did Kyle. You are a Hero👍

[@nunyabiznez6381]

I would suggest a constitutional amendment that would exempt all who earned the MOH from paying any taxes ever, that would grant all MOH recipients a second vote in all elections and automatically promote them two grades of rank and grant them the option of immediate retirement with full pay as though they had been in at least 20 years.

18:47 that is amazing, really it is. He never intended to be an American hero and bear the responsibility/burden of being a medal of Honor recipient. He just wanted to go to college and secure a decent life for himself. Very very humble. He and Edward Byers are my two favorite MOH heros

When the moment of his test came Kyle was not found wanting! He didn't do it for the glory but for the privilege of protecting his brother whom I suspect if he had been in the right position would have done the same selfless act!

Kyle is a humble, courageous and a great MoH role model. Too bad Amos was involved in the ceremony. No integrity, lied about attending TBS and swayed many investigations with complete disregard to the individual Marines.

[@adamvu3425]

Agree. I thought mundy was bad until amos showed up, he’s definitely “special.”

[@kelpnougatcrunch9430]

you do realize that marines don't rank up as the army does

[@rambosperm]

ZachYourSupremeOverlord What are you even talking about? What does the army have to do with this post? Deployments have nothing to do with Marine or army promotions...

[@randallshughart]

Probably because he is a 43 MOS (public affairs or something) and has other duties than beeing on the field. Be familiar with the term "POG" People Other than Grunt in USMC jargon; doesn't get deployed that much.

[@Robbob9933]

Yea, I heard that used at KBay and so did the 1/3 Sergeant Major. Sent that PFC and his Squad Leader to the BSSG when 3/3 was packing for a Westpac. I understand that never spoke ill of another MOS again.
