To all the boys gone- Rest in Power. Very thankful as I turned 35 while the guys stay 18-19-20

In the words of George S. Patton: "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived."

This is love. God created man and he loves us too. He loves us so much that God gave us Jesus. Make Jesus your Lord and follow Him. We are so thankful.

Possibly the most powerful message I've heard in a very long time, maybe ever. For those carrying survivors guilt or ptsd and thinking of suicide, this sends a powerful message that life is a gift and needs to be valued. We owe it to those who left without a choice, to live the life they couldn't. Thank you Jocko! Extraordinary message.

My Dad served in Vietnam, came home, adopted me, taught me how to shoot, ride, jump, and died just over a year ago. This hit me hard, my wife is watching it now, thanks for your service and thanks for leading Sir.
