Thank you sir, for all that you've done for our country. I've always tried to make an effort to thank and/or shake the hand of a veteran whenever I see them. It's the least WE can do for our veterans. They deserve our respect.

You are living History aboard the Battleship Iowa......I am so proud to be able to be a volunteer a long side of you ! Thank you for all that you do for the ship and our country!

I miss you Grandpa.

I see a lot of great people in this video, and that great old sailor deserves every honor we can bestow. Thank you Ernie, and thank you Navy for keeping us safe.

[@vincentshaff6467]

I salute my shipmates, young and old, for keeping the course and steaming us into the future. Fair winds and following seas to you Mr Thompson, for your sacrifices, and to the Goat Locker for standing tall...I see you still remember how to march! ET1, NavVet, 1981-1992

...but don't let me get my hands on those books!

Who the hell would possibly unlike this video?

[@jimstern9102]

Thanks to Ernest Thompson, thanks to the Naval Officers that honored him, and to all who serve our nation on the sea, the air and the land.

[@hypermagical_ultraomnipotence]

All I'll say-- none of the men in that video are Officers, they're Chiefs. They WORKED, and work, for a livin'. Call a Chief Sir and, oh boy, I did that once. He had... words with me :/

[@nancyreichert8078]

THANK YOU, Sir.

[@bigoldinosaur]

I am proud to say that I am a member of the US Air Force and even prouder to say that I am from Iowa. I wish I could salute this brave man for his service.

[@jadenjacobs8667]

Thank you for your service sir, Iowa is the best state.

He's my Dad's oldest brother.

[@kpaternoster]

He's my grandpa Ernie. I sure miss him.

[@tiffthompson4035]

That's my uncle

Hillary Clinton gave this a thumbs down. Thank you for your service from a grateful American.
