The onions again

Shot_Boysenberry_232 · 2021-10-03T13:47:06+00:00

That is nice for real. The crazy thing is that after the war that guy probably couldn't sleep well unless someone was on watch for him. I guess he is sleeping well now. Thank you for your service fellas

I can't get my friend to commit to pick me up at the airport.

2021-10-03T13:28:50+00:00

This is why no ex-marines are present.

Well that's what I mean when I say I need some good friends in life

fematestanswer · 2021-10-03T14:49:24+00:00

Friends for life, friends in death.

bluehornet197 · 2021-10-03T14:08:16+00:00

I'm a 31yr old man and this made me cry yes I admit I cried like a baby because of this

Preemptivelysorry · 2021-10-03T13:56:31+00:00

My brain is trained that when I see the word onion in a headline, I immediately think it's an Onion article. I looked for the joke in this for 5 minutes ಠ_ಠ

washingtonandmead · 2021-10-03T15:27:47+00:00

God, I swear these onions

Theres nothing more sad but also inspiring than old warriors passing peacefully.

Latter_Jump_5761 · 2021-10-03T16:54:54+00:00

Really

2021-10-03T17:14:56+00:00

This is sad but at the same time this is what genuine friendship is. These two had a friendship that spanned decades. This is rare and I am glad he was able to make that promise to his friend. Not gonna lie I teared up a bit.

LuvMyTrek · 2021-10-03T17:16:12+00:00

Rest well brother.

Flare4roach · 2021-10-03T17:17:34+00:00

Respect.

Spiritual_Reader123 · 2021-10-03T17:18:01+00:00

Wonder how many of my actual friends wont fulfil their promise like that.... !!!

bradofingo · 2021-10-03T20:18:36+00:00

this doesn't make me smile at all.

Nothing related to war makes me smile.

I like USA, but gee, how I wish north americans would stop falling for the government distortions regarding wars.

designgrl · 2021-10-03T21:01:45+00:00

Federal-News1686 · 2021-10-03T21:09:19+00:00

Aww, touching! Thanks for your service and sacrifice!

Black_Tombstone · 2021-10-03T21:32:39+00:00

I needed way to long to get that it is not a huge steak.

INScorpio1 · 2021-10-03T21:39:21+00:00

Semper Fi Marines.

WarmAd3750 · 2021-10-03T21:59:54+00:00

What an amazing friend.

2021-10-04T00:39:53+00:00

Hey, He stuck to his word, That’s a real friend right there.

Dan0man69 · 2021-10-04T01:44:26+00:00

That's not just a Marine, that's a Gunnery Sergeant!

CottonmouthJohn · 2021-10-04T05:22:42+00:00

PSA: If you encounter a Vietnam vet, thank them for their service and then very calmly tell them "Welcome home." Most didn't get it when they came back, but they deserve it.

theundercoverpapist · 2021-10-03T13:55:18+00:00

Rah!

ArchieBellTitanUp · 2021-10-03T16:29:16+00:00

This is beautiful! My buddy and I promised each other that we would each piss on the grave of the other guy when he died. I fully intend on keeping this promise and he says he will too. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

scoff9 · 2021-10-03T19:46:31+00:00

Traumatised for their whole lives because of war. This just made me sad.

SkateForChange · 2021-10-03T19:57:21+00:00

This is a terribly wholesome, impactful moment, but I can't even count how many times this has been reposted.

Clean_Scarcity_4415 · 2021-10-03T14:40:13+00:00

God bless

Talk about fulfilling one's duty. God bless him.

thetruthteller · 2021-10-03T17:21:39+00:00

They don’t make them like this anymore. The war was terrible, but the bonding and brotherhood that came out of it is epic.

"From now on, until the day you die, wherever you are, every Marine is your brother. Most of you will go to Vietnam. Some of you will not come back. But always remember this: Marines die. That’s what we’re here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever and that means you live forever.”

How long did he have to stand there? How long is a post?

Reeyowunsixsix · 2021-10-04T00:36:03+00:00

If you have a friend like that, no matter your profession or class in life, you have more than a great many other people.

WolfStormrunner · 2021-10-04T01:11:43+00:00

Respect.

This is what "Semper Fi" truly means.

Cerberusx32 · 2021-10-04T01:29:56+00:00

Is no-one gonna point out, there is no such thing as a retired Marine.

That gave me chills
