Ive been following that on another page. He is getting Facebook friend requests by the hundreds out of pure respect for him and his service.

Outstanding.

[Rctaylor]

that was cool as fuck to watch....ol guy couldnt even catch his breath he was so overwhelmed with joy....almost made me shed a tear

[conn-e-rot]

That was amazing.... Such an awesome thing for them to do for that guy

Now if only all of the vets received top notch treatment like that..... the way the government tends to treat vets leaves a lot to be desired....

To all that serve or have served I thank you for my freedom

I enjoyed watching him at that age get joy from that. It may even be the alcohol, but he got me a bit choked up at the end when he did.

Don't worry, you weren't the only one that got choked up.

I'd bet it was some closure for him, to be appreciated for what his country asked him to do so many years ago. Snipers take pride in what they do and for him to know he's still got it after all these years, not only with his original rifle but with one from today...well it made him feel like a young soldier again I'm sure.

I fail at human emotion, my fiance will attest to that, but I even got a little tear in my eye when they were giving him the hat.

Saw that a few months ago on tv, and thought the same thing then as I do now:

F*ck Yeah!

At 84, he's the same age as my pop would have been this summer. As long as I don't hear "That's My Job", I'll be fine.
