It's been proven clinically that a person helping another person has a release of endorphin in their brain and they physically feel better. In addition, a person just witnessing someone else helping someone also has a release of endorphin in their brain and they also feel physically better. So what you said is in fact true.
As a military veteran I've received so much kindness from many people and there just aren't words to express my appreciation. One incident happened when I was dining at a local restaurant. When I requested my bill the waiter informed me my meal had been paid for by a lady who had already departed. To her and the many who have made my journey in uniform so meaningful, THANK YOU.
I’m really glad to hear that. Veterans deserve more than verbal expressions. They deserve actual sacrifice, because, you know, that’s what you all have made.
Gross. All undeserved. If anything you should pay more. Like a punishment for your crimes. Grow up and stop identifying as a veteran. It's sad and harmful
This reminds me of what happened to me many years ago. In 1973 I was an Army Staff Sergant stationed in Stuttgart, Germany. My father died and I was going home for his funeral. When I got to the airport in Frankfort, I found that there was not an empty seat on the plane I needed to take to D.C. About 5 minutes later, a full Col.stepped off the plan, walked up to me, saluted me and said go home to be with your family son. He hugged me and walked over to the waiting room to wait for a later flight.
So the Army sent you to the airport with a ticket for a seat on a plane that didn't exist?! WOW! And if it was military transport, then your emergency leave takes priority over all others on the plane and you are guaranteed a seat. So it wasn't a kind gesture, it was a requirement.
As a UK military officer I served on a US base in Florida some years ago. I will never forget the kindness and generosity of everyone I worked with, as well as local people, restaurants and businesses - and also how the US looks after its military and vets; it puts the UK to shame by comparison.
Years ago when I was stationed in England in the Air Force my Dad passed away. I was 20 years old and devastated. I was flying home back to Texas for the funeral and shortly after the flight took off from London, the flight attendant came over and asked me to grab my things and come with her.....she took me to first class and said have a seat. I sat down and cried. It made me feel so appreciated and proud to be in the military. I am 53 years old now and still miss my Dad like it was yesterday.
Missing dad's is awful isn't it. My dad was a navy sub vet. He was everything to me. It's been 6 years now and I allow my self the hurt a few minutes each day.
This actually happened to my daughter coming home from AIT as a private except it was a first class seat. I looked him up and thanked him. He said he can sit in first class anytime and it looked like she needed a rest, which she did, slept in comfort all the way home.. Thanks again sir!
@@eddyvideostar really? Do you not have an ounce of a brain? The man's daughter is SERVING IN THE MILITARY. The very nice gentleman in first class, was very appreciative of her being in the military and basically thankful she was willing to save his life and of those in USA. Geeze..basically she would die for you.
Sir you are one heck of a nice guy. I'm a Vet and when I watched this video about your kindness it brought my eyes close to crying a little. I held back but the emotion will last forever. Thank you. ALL of Vets and serving soldiers wish you nothing but the very best. And to her.... BE SAFE. We love you.
Being a veteran myself, I cannot express how much it means to vets and service members when someone, at the least, acknowledges their existence. I would die for this country, then and now. Sacrifices like that aren't difficult for us, but they're not a simple choice to make. Peace.
LOTS OF PEOPLE DIE BEFORE THEIR TIME IT IS A FACT OF LIFE --- DO THE JOB YOU SIGNED UP TO DO OR GET OUT --- SIMPLY YOU ARE PROBABLY SAFER IN THAN OUT --- UNLESS A WAR BREAKS OUT.
Echos Paw. Thank you for your service. Your words exemplify what I consider to be a truly noble spirit. "I would die" ... "sacrifices" ... "Peace" ~Too often these days we see people "EAGER TO KILL" for what they believe in... folks like you and I... we are *WILLING TO DIE* for it. Its no simple choice though, youre right... philosophy ultimately goes out the window when someone is outright trying to kill you or your loved ones (lookin at you, Gyatso)
"We all need more people like that out there." Truer words were never spoken. Respect to this man and all of those who offer these kindnesses to our soldiers, active or retired. They deserve so much more than we can ever give them.
YES BECAUSE WHO THEY WORK FOR DOESN'T RESPECT THEM AT ALL NO NO NO GOVERNMENT IS WORTH DIEING FOR RESEARCH THIS AMERICA HAS NEVER BEEN THREATENED BY ANY OTHER COUNTRY EXCEPT THE CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION ENEMY FROM WITHIN bush,cheney,clintons,obama's, bidens,ALL US governments NEED TO BE PROSECUTED FOR TREASON HANGMAN NOOSE FOR THEM ALL NOW PRESIDENT TRUMP INNOCENT HANG pence ALSO PAYBACK IS GREAT BITCH
This is just another real good feel good story designed to illicit your emotions. I'm sick of how military personnel have been treated over the years. During the hippie years they were so despised they were cursed at and spit upon at the airports. Today there's this politically correct nonsense to treat ALL of them as heroes. Both of them are just as wrong. I served in the Navy and was an Army brat growing up. And this might come as a surprise to most, but we have HUMAN beings serving in the Military. Some are heroes true but there are also thieves, rapist, embezzlers, etc etc. in all branches of the service too. Some people are smart, others are semi retarded. Some work hard others are lazy. Some people lay down their lives for their fellow shipmates etc. Some just look for a way to cheat the system. Most of them are somewhere in between. Not to mention in today's political atmosphere most service men don't wear their uniforms off base. With the exception of "Military towns" most people you see in uniform are either recruiters or are stealing valor and pretending to be in the military. Can you imagine giving some D-Bag pretender a free meal ?!?
*YES, WE DO NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE THIS MAN, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S A SERVICEMEN/WOMAN.* *IT'S A GREAT WAY TO LIVE YOUR LIFE, HELPING SOMEONE WHO IS SEEN AS IN NEED AND 'DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT'.*
We do need more people like that! I ALWAYS try to give our hero’s even$20 (don’t go to the senior officer- go mid level). $20 buck is absolutely nothing in an airport but I try. Their protection of our country is PRICELESS!
I was in the airline business for 33 years and have seen the sort of kindness many times. It really warms your heart to see someone go out of their way to make a complete stranger have a better day. The best story I can remember was when a middle-aged and very overweight women that was sitting in coach was loudly complaining to the flight attendant that she needed more room. Sitting next to her was a young and very pregnant young lady that never said a word and even though she was being crowded out by the other woman. The flight attendant apologized and said she would see what she could do. She asked the lady to stand in the aisle for a minute and then asked the young mother to also stand and move towards the aisle. The fussing lady sure was surprised when the flight attendant moved the young lady to first-class and told the other woman that was the best she could do for her to have more room. The other passenger applauded.
In the late 70's I was assigned to a remote post in Australia, back then we were still required to travel airport to airport in uniform. I had not just retrieved my baggage no more than 10 minutes than a cute lil Aussie lady had invited me to her home for a home cooked meal. The generosity of people sometimes amazes me.
I did 2 of my 3 R&Rs from Vietnam in Australia. My 1st. R&R from Vietnam was to Hawaii. Australia was much better! Great people and not out for that tourist buck every time you turned around like in Hawaii. I actually was taken home from the bar my cabby recommended. (and drove me there free!) Barkeep bought my 1st round and several ladies bought the rest. One of the ladies invited me home with her and we drove (in her car) to her place and she became my tour guide for the rest of my R&R. 2nd R&R in Australia, same thing happened (with a different lady because the one from my first visit had moved far across the country for a job.)
good or bad.rich or poor.we all judge people,wether we know them or not.Its old,passed down from one generation ,we were reached at school,home, friends,work & so on.It will take a lot of work to change the way we think.🙂🏴❤️
That has happened to me and 2 others coming home from overseas for mid tour leave. About 20 minutes in to the flight we got moved to first class. We were all appreciative of the kindness. What was even cooler when we landed to catch a connecting flight we had a lay over so we decided to get a bite to eat. After we had our meal we went to pay and the waitress told us someone already paid for our meals. It was a really great trip home to see my family. I will never forget it.
@@wantedscroll1365 - Hmmm. Trade 1st class seat for "dinner" with stranger on airplane. "Sweet" is one word for it. "The soon to be plaintiff" is another.
This story is so right in so many ways. Thanks to this mans gesture and kindness. To our woman in uniform; THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND DEDICATION AND SACRIFICE.
I remember being in uniform at Logan Airport in Boston back in 1973, people would spit on me and call me a baby killer. I was an aircraft mechanic, funny how things turn around, now most of the major cities up north perform abortions everyday and no one spits on them.
That man really has a big heart. We need more people like him. And thank you to that service member for serving, and that man for his kindness and caring.
My daughter works at Walter Reed Hospital in D.C. and in her "spare" times pulls 18 hr extended duty volunteer shifts as an EMT. I am appalled at the disrespect she has to endure while wearing her police uniform--if she's riding the Metro or whatever, she has to put on a sweater in 89° heat to "hide" her uniform. In my day persons in uniform were respected.
As an retired Sergeant First Class, U.S. Army, this touching story proves that there are kind, compassionate people everywhere! God bless that kind man and all those who followed in kind to others!😁😁
😭😭😭😭 Acts of kindness are SO rare these days. It touches my heart. All u see are stories of "Karens" & other cruel ppl. May 2021 show an epidemic of kindness to all! 🇺🇸🌎
Both my wife and I are veterans. We are always humbled and grateful when folks acknowledge our service. I like to thank them for being part of a community I was proud to serve.
December 2003 my daughter was flying from Dallas to Seattle in uniform coming home for Christmas from her post in Iraq. A wonderful lady traded her first class seat for my daughter's coach seat and all the passengers were cheering her as we met her after deplaning. What a wonderful group of folks!
This made me cry!! I have a son and daughter in law retired army just recently. I love when REAL caring people show sick wonderful respect for our military. Raised military myself. Dad dog 36 years. He just would retire. ❤ Thank you daughter for me. Tell her we love and appreciate all she does and has done for this nation. She is AWESOME
This was such a kind gesture for our service woman. If we all did a kind thing for one another it would be a different world. I want to thank him for what he did and to thank her for her service.
I played tennis with a US navy pilot. He said that whenever he docked in Plymouth, England in his uniform, they never let him pay for any food or drinks.
@@___ykc: Hear hear! At last someone tells the truth! I know something about it, because I am Polish. The Poles had to start the uneven fight (for Poland) of WW2 to defend their country from right before the dawn of 1st September 1939 and fought for a month officially (on horseback with sabers in hand against the Germans in tanks, if necessary) while their allies (the English and the French) waited and played a “sitting war” because they believed the German provocation (Gleiwitz incident) and very advanced and deceptive German propaganda and could not believe that Germans could be so cunning, treacherous and vile as to attack a neighbouring country for literally no reason and without even a proper declaration of war! The Battle of Westerplatte (where the Germans attacked a small and isolated Polish military garrison on a peninsula and had to carry 13 assaults from the sea, air and land for a week - around 3400 Germans against utmost 225 Poles. The Germans were so impressed with the Polish defense that they stood at attention when the remaining defenders marched out after the eventual capitulation after 7 days of ceaseless fighting and they even allowed the commanding officer, Major H. Sucharski to keep his ceremonial sabre while in captivity, at first at least) - was one of the first battles in this war and then after official capitulation the Poles fought for the next 5 and a half years, mostly guerrilla war and resistance in the country, against the occupying Germans and initially (from 17th Sep 1939 till the summer of 1941) against the Soviet forces, while the Polish soldiers on emigration formed Polish Armed Forces in the West and joined the Western Allies’ forces in the fight against Germans and their allies all over the world in “most Allied operations against Nazi Germany in the Mediterranean and Middle East and the European theatres: the North African Campaign (with the Battle of Monte Cassino being one of the most notable), the Western European Campaign (from Dieppe Raid and D-Day through Battle of Normandy and latter operations, especially Operation Market Garden).” [after Wikipedia entry “Polish Armed Forces in the West”] And after all this valour and sacrifice, W. Churchill and F.D. Roosevelt got scared of Josef Stalin at Yalta and agreed to give up Poland under the Soviet “protection” and actual management! The Polish veterans of the Polish Armed Forces in the West were not able to return to the motherland for fear of death (the factually Soviet-controlled new Polish government exterminated the Armia Krajowa (the Polish Home Army of WW II) heroic soldiers...) and were not even present at the London Victory Parade of 1946. Officially they were invited but the delegation from Poland never arrived because of the pressure from Moscow and the invited Polish veterans of the RAF (of the two Polish squadrons (302 and 303) who had fought under British RAF (the Battle of Britain!) refused because the Polish Army and Navy were not invited. And the Polish “Surplus Heroes” were advised to go home... I think there have never been better soldiers than were the Polish soldiers (both in Armia Krajowa at home and the Polish Armed forces in the West) during the WW II. I’m very proud of them and I’m very proud of coming from such a brave and honourable nation! Have a peaceful and happier New Year 2021! Cheers!
@@___ykc: I’m terribly sorry for the previous two foot long reply, I just could not contain myself! ; ) Anyway, if not for the Pearl Harbor Attack in 1941 who knows when and if ever the USA would join the Allied Forces in the WW II. And considering the sheer number and freshness of their forces they were rivaled only by the Soviets. So now they both claim to be the victors of the WW II, and while it is true, the world generally overlooks smaller nations whose sacrifice in the war effort was incommensurably greater.

This sort of thing can be contagious. When I was at an airport bar waiting for a flight, 3 Marines came in and took a table, and I overheard one say, "we might as well have a few drinks - we won't be partying in Baghdad." I told the waitress to put their first round on my tab. One of them thanked me and the guy next to me grabbed some menus and said, "Get yourselves a good meal - on me." They were still there when I had to board, but while I was there, at least two other men at the bar told the waitress not to let them pay for anything - they'd get it. One small act of kindness, and suddenly, a bunch of people were piling on. I hope they had a good time.
A very similar thing happened to me in the late 70's flying home from Europe to the states for Christmas at home. a man in 1st class gave me his seat and and paid for any snacks or beverages. best flight I ever had.
Please notice. These stories NEVER get old. They carry a frequency of love and consideration. With all that is going on in this world that can be considered unpleasant, to say the least, humanity needs stories like this to counteract the negatives.
I was a Sgt in the Marines on a my way back home from being discharged in 1980 from California . Once in the Air a flight attendant told me a seat opened up and I could move to first class. Little things like that are really appreciated!
Kindness is very rare today and the sad thing is, Kindness costs nothing. Make the world a better place, perform a random act of kindness. Trust me, you'll feel better afterward.
Great story. I missed Vietnam by bout 14 months. I had a draft number but the war ended before my number came up. I have been truly blessed in my life. Even my bad luck could and should have been worse. I try to thank a veteran ever time I see one. They are true hero's. Next time you see a vet, thank them for their service and try to do something nice for them to appreciate their service and sacrifice. God bless our vets. They should get at least a 10% discount on everything.
I was drafted, but joined the Navy instead. Two and 1/2 West-Pac tours including most of the time off the coast of Vietnam. 7 months off the coast of South Vietnam and 8 months off the coast of North Vietnam. A brother, whi is 1 1/2 years younger than me was in the first draft lottery. His number was high enough that he wasn't drafted.
During the really bad bushfires in New South Wales, Australia 2019/20, my colleagues and I were flying from interstate to help and received a standing ovation from the passengers. It was very humbling.
As a military veteran this are the type of stories we need to hear. Most people don’t have any idea of all the hard work been in the military requires from all members, the thing is that we do it every day all day. HUAAA.....
It was 1968 and I was just 3 months in the Air Force when I received word that my father had passed away. I was only 18. My Sgt. and others helped fund me to get me home for the funeral. I had to dress up in my Air Force blues to get a plane on stand-by as I hardly had any money to afford a regular ticket. I sat way back in the last row where the stewardess were and just kept to myself. Then, whenever people walked by me to go to the bathroom, some would sneer, cuss and several even spit on me. I knew I was being labeled as a war loving militant because of my uniform and we were hated for participating in the Vietnam war. A stewardess saw what was happening and got out of her seat in the back and came and sat in the aisle side of my row. She looked at me not saying a word and I started crying. This young lady was the shoulder I needed at that time and I think of her often. A small act of kindness has lasted a lifetime for me. Her comforting action and compassion definitely eased my trip home.
God bless you sir for looking out for a military comrade. We don't give our Military men and women the praise they deserve. God Bless you and God Bless our Great Military.
I was on a flight from El Paso to Chicago. I am a 73 year Veteran of the Vietnam war and my legs don't work so good. My seat was in the back of the aircraft so it took me a few minutes to walk the distance. A person behind me was complaining about my slow pace when another person stood up and told the person to "shut the hell up". The person that spoke up for me knew I was a Veteran because I had a small 1st Cav. Div. pin on my jacket collar along with the Vietnam Campaign ribbon. Several people started clapping and I never felt so proud in a long time.
When I was working I would travel on airplanes a lot. I flew so much that the carrier I flew on would upgrade me to first class if there was an empty seat. The airline would also give me first class upgrades to use as I see fit. Towards the end of the year my upgrade coupons were about to expire. On one of my jobs just before Christmas I walked the airport concourse and when I saw a military person in uniform I would offer them a first class upgrade. I gave away all my coupons that day. I’m so proud of our military and over ten years I did this until I retired. It made me feel proud to help.
As a Vet I've experienced much kindness from civilians in my many travels. I have also experienced a great deal of admiration and courtesy when traveling in other countries, particularly the Middle East. The "news" media is a cesspool of misinformation. disinformation, and outright lies. People in general tend to appreciate those in the military. Civilians live on the ground, not in glass bubbles of delusion.
*"Kindness in humanity still exists".* As a veteran myself, I brought my kids up that when they see or hear of another having served past or present to not miss the opportunity to just walk up and say "Thank you". A soldier isn't expecting thanks from anyone but it sure feels good to know others care and appreciate your service and sacrifice. God Bless America!
She is a Major not a Private . Cannot understand how she felt she was to broke. If you are that tired then pay for your comfort like everyone else. Wearing your Uniform is not safe .
@@gordonnadolni8727 Not sure if your comment was directed to me but it's under my comment and I never said anything about her rank. As for your stating, she should pay her own way, for someone with a Patriotic heart it isn't about whether you can afford it or not, it's a matter of respect and appreciation. I use to take military hops all the time and you never know what airline you were going to get on because it's based on availability and moving from base to base yes we always wore our uniforms (we don't live in Afghanistan where it would be unsafe). In this story, a gentleman is showing his gratitude for her service and sacrifice. No, a soldier does not make what the majority of Americans make, it's basically around minimum wage if you were to give it an 8-hour day wage but I don't know any military personnel that was never required to work longer hours than a regular business day or be on call every moment of their day holiday or not ready to deploy on a moments notice. I respect what he did and think it was a wonderful gesture of kindness to someone who is serving her country regardless of her pay rate.
A wonderful good caring gesture. Thank you for sharing. Anyone that doesn't have the patience to listen has never had a husband, family member or CHILD in the military risking their lives for them. Kindness is there and thank you!!
Talking about military personnel, really brings out tears in me. I'm not in any way or my family in any way is related to defence or military. But at the bottom of my heart I salute these personnel. But there are some wretched assholes in this world who does not appreciate their service. These people need to understand that it is because of the so called military we can sleep comfortably in our house. They are our first line of defence against all kind if terrorists. If gotten a chance I will appreciate everyone who reads this msgs to help them in any way you can. May God bless them and the humanity race against all evil.
@@robertcollins6170 - Because it's a phony story, stuck together with stock images, and they can't even even be troubled to make it internally consistent. Did you notice how she starts out "craving to see her family" and ends up letting herself get picked up?

This is not true. Most people are not good people, they act like one. Thats why its so special to find true caring unselfish people, they are a rare breed.
From the bottom of my heart_Thank you to all of the Americans that do nice things for us veterans-people thanking me for my service never ever gets old, so thanks for everything that you guys do and I am honored. God bless America and I would fight again if I wasn't disabled.

Over the years my family and myself has served in the U.S. Military for over 85+ years (starting with WWII to present), it nice to see America someone appreciate what all have sacrificed.
I truly appreciate your family member's service. My great great grandfather fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War. I have ancestors that served in the military during the American Revolution. My grandfather was in WWII. My dad served in the Army. I have two ex sons-in-laws that served in the Army and have 7 deployments to Iraq & Afghanistan between them and my daughter was in the Marine Corps Reserves and went to Afghanistan for 7 months. There's a lot of sacrifice that goes into serving in the military and I appreciate all who sign their name on the dotted line.
This warms my Heart ❤ and brought tears to my eyes. Because with all of the unrest in the world, there are still good people in this world left. If we all would stop and think for a moment, we could at least change some things. Thank You, Both of You for being so kind and understanding. May God Bless you both and to Everyone else also. Thank You
I did the same when a soldier came on board while I was sitting in first class. I motion to the steward to have the soldier sit in my sit. This happened more than once when traveling on American Airlines from LAX to LAX. Once there was a family that had smaller children. The gate asked those in first-class if they could take up seats in coach. I didn't hesitate in seeing the small toddlers could sit in one row. We need to be thoughtful to others.

"How could she ever repay him?" She already did, by sacrificing her life everyday to protect those of us who live in this country. Military personal and veterans deserve their own first class section in commercial flights. Cause there is no price you can ever put on a human life, and anybody willing to put that life on the line to protect people they don't know, deserve the best we can offer.
The American sycpphancy over their military is quite nauseating. They arent conscripts, they volunteer. Yes, they deserve our respect, but we dont need to fawn over them.
I agree I also think our military shouldn't have to ride in coach. They are willing to die so airplanes full of people have the right to fly safely. The airlines make money off military personnel sill on duty. It's sickening. Since they do they should be given discounted tickets so they can fly with a bit of leg room. Just my opinion
My son said when his flight landed in Dallas TX he was waiting his flight to Omaha Ne an being in uniform went to the bar to by a drink an a guy told him his money was no good there an paid for all his drinks. This not what people want to hear about but what counts is people recognize or service men an women. God Bless Them all an those who sacrificed everything for are freedom
really ?... god bless them all ?...

@@cryswalden131 when i see the phrase 'god bless them all' , I take that as the writer hoping god blesses them all in that group specifically ( in this case those in military service). If the writer hopes and thinks god should bless everybody, wouldn't it be... 'god bless us all'? You are talking about what god feels to all of us... pretty presumptuous as well, but you think reading some ancient books translated a dozen times gives you that insight, well... bless your heart. I was replying to Randy who hoped god blessed all those who are serving/served in the military. I doubt he would want god to bless Osama bin Laden. I was just making the point there are OBL types (evil) everywhere even in uniform so let's praise people on their actions and beliefs not what they are wearing.
How awesome this gentleman from first class to trade seats with a soldier. God bless him and I hope dinner went very well also. Very rare to hear a story like this and thank you for sharing it Daily Dose.
I felt tears of gratitude starting after hearing the story of the female soldier who was treated well due to her station in life and her patriotism. It could have been my daughter.
Aww good men. It happened to me when I came home.. too.. matter in fact that he was a business woman. She made me cry that time. I remember I was only 19 then.
I remember it was the day before drill weekend for my National Guard unit and I was in uniform at the time getting ready to take public transit into the city to catch an Amtrak train to the town of my duty station. As I waited for the next trolley to take me to the city I had lunch at a nearby diner, unfortunately no longer there today. When I was about to pay for my lunch I was told a stranger who had been dining in the corner, paid for my meal before she left. She didn't have to do that but it was one of the nicest random acts of kindness I had received. Normally it would be me paying for someone's meal on my journeys to and from my post. I'd usually buy some hot food for homeless people around the Amtrack station and public transit terminal just because it felt right to do.
I’m an ordinary woman. Everyday I thank GOD for those brave men and women who stand guard watching and keeping their eyes open. These men and women keep freedom ringing and the ordinary citizen safe. THANKY YOU TO ALL WHO KEEP IS SAFE. A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO KEEP US SAFE💕
My husband gave up his first class seat twice for a man who sat uncomfortably because he was big and tall and to another woman who cannot fit the seat well too. For me I gave up my first class seat for my best friend and she was so confused when the flight attendant called her name. After the plane landed she expressed her sincere thanks saying that she just had the best flight ever that she will never forget. :) I felt so happy about it and today I smile after reading this, It reminds me...
That's Man needs to be polite I bet he treats his mother with nothing but Great. His mother and father thought him manners he was thankful of what she did for our Country. Thank you for doing what you did Sir
My story may not go viral like this one did but it shows that there are a lot of really nice people in this world. Most of my early life I was treated very poorly by others that I went to school with and people i worked with as well as others that met . A lot of them wouldn't have anything to do with me. Now that I'm older I have had people offer to help me out if I needed it. This help was never asked for by me and was and is greatly appreciated. I would would be in a local store ready to check out and not have enough money to pay for the items that I bought. These people would step forward and pay what I owed. Which goes to say that love and kindness can go a long way to making this world a better place.
This happened to me whenever I was coming home from basic and AIT.....I never met the gentleman that offered me his first class seat. I wish I would’ve I would have given him a huge hug
I love this story! I was in the Navy and a corpsman with the marines during Vietnam. When flying back to the states I was treated like crap both times I was returning to the states by people who hated anyone served in Vietnam. Glad to see minds and hearts have changed.
Veterans of the Vietnam war were treated shabby for sure. Shame on America during that time and to you I say a belated welcome home and thank you for your service.
Every time I see a person doing a good deed to his fellow man, it renews my faith in humanity.
It's been proven clinically that a person helping another person has a release of endorphin in their brain and they physically feel better. In addition, a person just witnessing someone else helping someone also has a release of endorphin in their brain and they also feel physically better. So what you said is in fact true.
As a military veteran I've received so much kindness from many people and there just aren't words to express my appreciation. One incident happened when I was dining at a local restaurant. When I requested my bill the waiter informed me my meal had been paid for by a lady who had already departed. To her and the many who have made my journey in uniform so meaningful, THANK YOU.
I’m really glad to hear that. Veterans deserve more than verbal expressions. They deserve actual sacrifice, because, you know, that’s what you all have made.
Thank you so very much, you are the best and God bless you
Gross. All undeserved. If anything you should pay more. Like a punishment for your crimes. Grow up and stop identifying as a veteran. It's sad and harmful
We would have no journey if not for people like you. Thank you, and mat God bless you always.
@@philipbridler ? Can you clarify this comment?
This reminds me of what happened to me many years ago. In 1973 I was an Army Staff Sergant stationed in Stuttgart, Germany. My father died and I was going home for his funeral. When I got to the airport in Frankfort, I found that there was not an empty seat on the plane I needed to take to D.C. About 5 minutes later, a full Col.stepped off the plan, walked up to me, saluted me and said go home to be with your family son. He hugged me and walked over to the waiting room to wait for a later flight.
So the Army sent you to the airport with a ticket for a seat on a plane that didn't exist?! WOW! And if it was military transport, then your emergency leave takes priority over all others on the plane and you are guaranteed a seat. So it wasn't a kind gesture, it was a requirement.
As a UK military officer I served on a US base in Florida some years ago. I will never forget the kindness and generosity of everyone I worked with, as well as local people, restaurants and businesses - and also how the US looks after its military and vets; it puts the UK to shame by comparison.
Thank you for your service!

Thank you is not enough but it's all I have, sincerely, Thank you!
@@carlospacheco7361 TY - greatly appreciated.
Years ago when I was stationed in England in the Air Force my Dad passed away. I was 20 years old and devastated. I was flying home back to Texas for the funeral and shortly after the flight took off from London, the flight attendant came over and asked me to grab my things and come with her.....she took me to first class and said have a seat. I sat down and cried. It made me feel so appreciated and proud to be in the military. I am 53 years old now and still miss my Dad like it was yesterday.

Same thing happened to me. My dad passed away when we were stationed in Germany. I cried constantly. Flightcrew and passengers were all so very nice.
@@michelecoit8268 Good to hear. It must be an unwritten policy.

Missing dad's is awful isn't it. My dad was a navy sub vet. He was everything to me. It's been 6 years now and I allow my self the hurt a few minutes each day.
This actually happened to my daughter coming home from AIT as a private except it was a first class seat. I looked him up and thanked him. He said he can sit in first class anytime and it looked like she needed a rest, which she did, slept in comfort all the way home.. Thanks again sir!
Awesome!
So very sweet and kind: *he is a true gentleman.*
Bless you Sir! Makes me KNOW there are beautiful kind souls out there.
Mike Smith: Why are people's daughters in the services; To whom do they service?
@@eddyvideostar really? Do you not have an ounce of a brain? The man's daughter is SERVING IN THE MILITARY. The very nice gentleman in first class, was very appreciative of her being in the military and basically thankful she was willing to save his life and of those in USA. Geeze..basically she would die for you.
From an “ old” Veteran, Thank you to the kind gentleman that offered his 1st class seat to a young fellow Veteran. We need more MEN such as yourself.
Thank you for your service,Sir.
Sir you are one heck of a nice guy. I'm a Vet and when I watched this video about your kindness it brought my eyes close to crying a little. I held back but the emotion will last forever. Thank you. ALL of Vets and serving soldiers wish you nothing but the very best. And to her.... BE SAFE. We love you.
Being a veteran myself, I cannot express how much it means to vets and service members when someone, at the least, acknowledges their existence. I would die for this country, then and now. Sacrifices like that aren't difficult for us, but they're not a simple choice to make. Peace.
LOTS OF PEOPLE DIE BEFORE THEIR TIME IT IS A FACT OF LIFE --- DO THE JOB YOU SIGNED UP TO DO OR GET OUT --- SIMPLY YOU ARE PROBABLY SAFER IN THAN OUT --- UNLESS A WAR BREAKS OUT.
Echos Paw. Thank you for your service. Your words exemplify what I consider to be a truly noble spirit.
"I would die" ... "sacrifices" ... "Peace"
~Too often these days we see people "EAGER TO KILL" for what they believe in... folks like you and I... we are *WILLING TO DIE* for it.
Its no simple choice though, youre right... philosophy ultimately goes out the window when someone is outright trying to kill you or your loved ones (lookin at you, Gyatso)
Thank u for your service sir!!♡♡♡
Ty for your service I always go up to people in uniform.
Thank you for protecting our country, my family and myself. I am forever grateful. God bless you.
"We all need more people like that out there." Truer words were never spoken. Respect to this man and all of those who offer these kindnesses to our soldiers, active or retired. They deserve so much more than we can ever give them.
YES BECAUSE WHO THEY WORK FOR DOESN'T RESPECT THEM AT ALL NO NO NO GOVERNMENT IS WORTH DIEING FOR RESEARCH THIS AMERICA HAS NEVER BEEN THREATENED BY ANY OTHER COUNTRY EXCEPT THE CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION ENEMY FROM WITHIN bush,cheney,clintons,obama's, bidens,ALL US governments NEED TO BE PROSECUTED FOR TREASON HANGMAN NOOSE FOR THEM ALL NOW PRESIDENT TRUMP INNOCENT HANG pence ALSO PAYBACK IS GREAT BITCH
We can all be that person.
yes, there are more good people out there.
This is just another real good feel good story designed to illicit your emotions. I'm sick of how military personnel have been treated over the years. During the hippie years they were so despised they were cursed at and spit upon at the airports. Today there's this politically correct nonsense to treat ALL of them as heroes. Both of them are just as wrong.
I served in the Navy and was an Army brat growing up. And this might come as a surprise to most, but we have HUMAN beings serving in the Military. Some are heroes true but there are also thieves, rapist, embezzlers, etc etc. in all branches of the service too. Some people are smart, others are semi retarded. Some work hard others are lazy. Some people lay down their lives for their fellow shipmates etc. Some just look for a way to cheat the system. Most of them are somewhere in between.
Not to mention in today's political atmosphere most service men don't wear their uniforms off base. With the exception of "Military towns" most people you see in uniform are either recruiters or are stealing valor and pretending to be in the military. Can you imagine giving some D-Bag pretender a free meal ?!?
*YES, WE DO NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE THIS MAN, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S A SERVICEMEN/WOMAN.* *IT'S A GREAT WAY TO LIVE YOUR LIFE, HELPING SOMEONE WHO IS SEEN AS IN NEED AND 'DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT'.*
We do need more people like that! I ALWAYS try to give our hero’s even$20 (don’t go to the senior officer- go mid level). $20 buck is absolutely nothing in an airport but I try. Their protection of our country is PRICELESS!
Thank you for your service and sacrifice! And thank you for helping her out with getting a better seat!
Surely this is an uplifting story of a man's kindness and generosity, for someone who really needed to feel appreciated, with comfort and rest.
Veterans who fight for our Country need to be honored!
I was in the airline business for 33 years and have seen the sort of kindness many times. It really warms your heart to see someone go out of their way to make a complete stranger have a better day. The best story I can remember was when a middle-aged and very overweight women that was sitting in coach was loudly complaining to the flight attendant that she needed more room. Sitting next to her was a young and very pregnant young lady that never said a word and even though she was being crowded out by the other woman. The flight attendant apologized and said she would see what she could do. She asked the lady to stand in the aisle for a minute and then asked the young mother to also stand and move towards the aisle. The fussing lady sure was surprised when the flight attendant moved the young lady to first-class and told the other woman that was the best she could do for her to have more room. The other passenger applauded.

Love it!

In the late 70's I was assigned to a remote post in Australia, back then we were still required to travel airport to airport in uniform. I had not just retrieved my baggage no more than 10 minutes than a cute lil Aussie lady had invited me to her home for a home cooked meal. The generosity of people sometimes amazes me.
I did 2 of my 3 R&Rs from Vietnam in Australia. My 1st. R&R from Vietnam was to Hawaii. Australia was much better! Great people and not out for that tourist buck every time you turned around like in Hawaii. I actually was taken home from the bar my cabby recommended. (and drove me there free!) Barkeep bought my 1st round and several ladies bought the rest. One of the ladies invited me home with her and we drove (in her car) to her place and she became my tour guide for the rest of my R&R. 2nd R&R in Australia, same thing happened (with a different lady because the one from my first visit had moved far across the country for a job.)

I think that's a great gesture; showing appreciation for our vets!!!
That has happened to me and 2 others coming home from overseas for mid tour leave. About 20 minutes in to the flight we got moved to first class. We were all appreciative of the kindness. What was even cooler when we landed to catch a connecting flight we had a lay over so we decided to get a bite to eat. After we had our meal we went to pay and the waitress told us someone already paid for our meals. It was a really great trip home to see my family. I will never forget it.
That was being very sweet of the man giving up his seat for her , that Wasa a very sweet gesture
It was soo sweet that she when out with him🤷♂️
@@wantedscroll1365 - Hmmm. Trade 1st class seat for "dinner" with stranger on airplane. "Sweet" is one word for it. "The soon to be plaintiff" is another.

Yes there are people out there that have big hearts this is what we need to hear more of .Thank you Jesus 🙏🙏🙏
Amen~!
I remember being in uniform at Logan Airport in Boston back in 1973, people would spit on me and call me a baby killer. I was an aircraft mechanic, funny how things turn around, now most of the major cities up north perform abortions everyday and no one spits on them.
Brings tears to my eyes for how much our veterans and active military are so much appreciated
Kind man gave army lady his first class seat and had dinner together when they landed. There, saved you 8 mins of small talk.
I came to comments for just this comment. Thanks
Thanks for the heads up.

I long for the "old days" when First Responders were simply called firemen, policemen and ambulance drivers.
My daughter works at Walter Reed Hospital in D.C. and in her "spare" times pulls 18 hr extended duty volunteer shifts as an EMT. I am appalled at the disrespect she has to endure while wearing her police uniform--if she's riding the Metro or whatever, she has to put on a sweater in 89° heat to "hide" her uniform. In my day persons in uniform were respected.
You need this more than I. Thank you for your Service.

As a military veteran, I know the sacrifices we do for our country. Is so heart lifting that there some people who acknowledge our service.
That was nice to hear. Two of my kids are officers in the US army and I know they appreciate when people thanks them for their service.
Go ask your kids if military personnel are allowed to sit in business or first-class while in uniform.
Both my wife and I are veterans. We are always humbled and grateful when folks acknowledge our service.
I like to thank them for being part of a community I was proud to serve.

December 2003 my daughter was flying from Dallas to Seattle in uniform coming home for Christmas from her post in Iraq. A wonderful lady traded her first class seat for my daughter's coach seat and all the passengers were cheering her as we met her after deplaning. What a wonderful group of folks!
That's awesome...... gave me chill bumps.
This made me cry!! I have a son and daughter in law retired army just recently. I love when REAL caring people show sick wonderful respect for our military.
Raised military myself. Dad dog 36 years. He just would retire. ❤
Thank you daughter for me. Tell her we love and appreciate all she does and has done for this nation. She is AWESOME
Nice story , but to correct you , it’s disembarking
@BalkanBeast 2003 the US invaded Iraq.;-(

I am a x infantry soldier and I saw this on my CZcams channel. Needless to say I was overwhelmed with joy to see that a few people do care.
US or RBDF
This was such a kind gesture for our service woman. If we all did a kind thing for one another it would be a different world. I want to thank him for what he did and to thank her for her service.
Props to this guy for his Generosity, the world needs more people like him
I played tennis with a US navy pilot. He said that whenever he docked in Plymouth, England in his uniform, they never let him pay for any food or drinks.
Because Americans stepped in so late to ww2 and now they act like they won the war
@@___ykc: Hear hear! At last someone tells the truth! I know something about it, because I am Polish. The Poles had to start the uneven fight (for Poland) of WW2 to defend their country from right before the dawn of 1st September 1939 and fought for a month officially (on horseback with sabers in hand against the Germans in tanks, if necessary) while their allies (the English and the French) waited and played a “sitting war” because they believed the German provocation (Gleiwitz incident) and very advanced and deceptive German propaganda and could not believe that Germans could be so cunning, treacherous and vile as to attack a neighbouring country for literally no reason and without even a proper declaration of war!
The Battle of Westerplatte (where the Germans attacked a small and isolated Polish military garrison on a peninsula and had to carry 13 assaults from the sea, air and land for a week - around 3400 Germans against utmost 225 Poles. The Germans were so impressed with the Polish defense that they stood at attention when the remaining defenders marched out after the eventual capitulation after 7 days of ceaseless fighting and they even allowed the commanding officer, Major H. Sucharski to keep his ceremonial sabre while in captivity, at first at least) - was one of the first battles in this war and then after official capitulation the Poles fought for the next 5 and a half years, mostly guerrilla war and resistance in the country, against the occupying Germans and initially (from 17th Sep 1939 till the summer of 1941) against the Soviet forces, while the Polish soldiers on emigration formed Polish Armed Forces in the West and joined the Western Allies’ forces in the fight against Germans and their allies all over the world in “most Allied operations against Nazi Germany in the Mediterranean and Middle East and the European theatres: the North African Campaign (with the Battle of Monte Cassino being one of the most notable), the Western European Campaign (from Dieppe Raid and D-Day through Battle of Normandy and latter operations, especially Operation Market Garden).” [after Wikipedia entry “Polish Armed Forces in the West”]
And after all this valour and sacrifice, W. Churchill and F.D. Roosevelt got scared of Josef Stalin at Yalta and agreed to give up Poland under the Soviet “protection” and actual management! The Polish veterans of the Polish Armed Forces in the West were not able to return to the motherland for fear of death (the factually Soviet-controlled new Polish government exterminated the Armia Krajowa (the Polish Home Army of WW II) heroic soldiers...) and were not even present at the London Victory Parade of 1946. Officially they were invited but the delegation from Poland never arrived because of the pressure from Moscow and the invited Polish veterans of the RAF (of the two Polish squadrons (302 and 303) who had fought under British RAF (the Battle of Britain!) refused because the Polish Army and Navy were not invited. And the Polish “Surplus Heroes” were advised to go home...
I think there have never been better soldiers than were the Polish soldiers (both in Armia Krajowa at home and the Polish Armed forces in the West) during the WW II. I’m very proud of them and I’m very proud of coming from such a brave and honourable nation!
Have a peaceful and happier New Year 2021! Cheers!
@@___ykc: I’m terribly sorry for the previous two foot long reply, I just could not contain myself! ; )
Anyway, if not for the Pearl Harbor Attack in 1941 who knows when and if ever the USA would join the Allied Forces in the WW II. And considering the sheer number and freshness of their forces they were rivaled only by the Soviets. So now they both claim to be the victors of the WW II, and while it is true, the world generally overlooks smaller nations whose sacrifice in the war effort was incommensurably greater.

This sort of thing can be contagious. When I was at an airport bar waiting for a flight, 3 Marines came in and took a table, and I overheard one say, "we might as well have a few drinks - we won't be partying in Baghdad." I told the waitress to put their first round on my tab. One of them thanked me and the guy next to me grabbed some menus and said, "Get yourselves a good meal - on me." They were still there when I had to board, but while I was there, at least two other men at the bar told the waitress not to let them pay for anything - they'd get it. One small act of kindness, and suddenly, a bunch of people were piling on. I hope they had a good time.
There is nothing better than a random act of kindness.
A very similar thing happened to me in the late 70's flying home from Europe to the states for Christmas at home. a man in 1st class gave me his seat and and paid for any snacks or beverages. best flight I ever had.
God bless you
Look someone described it in 10 seconds.. give this man a beer
Please notice. These stories NEVER get old. They carry a frequency of love and consideration. With all that is going on in this world that can be considered unpleasant, to say the least, humanity needs stories like this to counteract the negatives.
Good stuff, right there.
If the guy gave you his first class seat, then you got all the snacks and beverages free because you’re in the first class. So why did he have to pay?
I was a Sgt in the Marines on a my way back home from being discharged in 1980 from California . Once in the Air a flight attendant told me a seat opened up and I could move to first class. Little things like that are really appreciated!
Thank you for your service...Stay safe
Semper Fi, Sgt! thank you for your service. proud Army brat here ;)
Brought tears to my eyes. Bless both these people! :-)
Thank God for our Soldiers and thank God for good people like this man!
Awesome. God bless that man and God bless that woman and all of our service men and women!!
Kindness is very rare today and the sad thing is, Kindness costs nothing. Make the world a better place, perform a random act of kindness. Trust me, you'll feel better afterward.
Great story. I missed Vietnam by bout 14 months. I had a draft number but the war ended before my number came up. I have been truly blessed in my life. Even my bad luck could and should have been worse.
I try to thank a veteran ever time I see one. They are true hero's.
Next time you see a vet, thank them for their service and try to do something nice for them to appreciate their service and sacrifice.
God bless our vets. They should get at least a 10% discount on everything.
I was drafted, but joined the Navy instead. Two and 1/2 West-Pac tours including most of the time off the coast of Vietnam. 7 months off the coast of South Vietnam and 8 months off the coast of North Vietnam. A brother, whi is 1 1/2 years younger than me was in the first draft lottery. His number was high enough that he wasn't drafted.
During the really bad bushfires in New South Wales, Australia 2019/20, my colleagues and I were flying from interstate to help and received a standing ovation from the passengers. It was very humbling.
Thank you for your help
Hero's revealed. Thank you for your kindness and compassion for our citizens many gave all. Your kindness speaks healing to all of us
Hello Patricia

As a military veteran this are the type of stories we need to hear. Most people don’t have any idea of all the hard work been in the military requires from all members, the thing is that we do it every day all day. HUAAA.....
Be ashamed
It was 1968 and I was just 3 months in the Air Force when I received word that my father had passed away. I was only 18. My Sgt. and others helped fund me to get me home for the funeral. I had to dress up in my Air Force blues to get a plane on stand-by as I hardly had any money to afford a regular ticket. I sat way back in the last row where the stewardess were and just kept to myself. Then, whenever people walked by me to go to the bathroom, some would sneer, cuss and several even spit on me. I knew I was being labeled as a war loving militant because of my uniform and we were hated for participating in the Vietnam war. A stewardess saw what was happening and got out of her seat in the back and came and sat in the aisle side of my row. She looked at me not saying a word and I started crying. This young lady was the shoulder I needed at that time and I think of her often. A small act of kindness has lasted a lifetime for me. Her comforting action and compassion definitely eased my trip home.
God bless you sir for looking out for a military comrade. We don't give our Military men and women the praise they deserve. God Bless you and God Bless our Great Military.
They'd settle for a little better pay! They certainly deserve it more than anyone in congress, now there's a waste of tax dollars!

I was on a flight from El Paso to Chicago. I am a 73 year Veteran of the Vietnam war and my legs don't work so good. My seat was in the back of the aircraft so it took me a few minutes to walk the distance. A person behind me was complaining about my slow pace when another person stood up and told the person to "shut the hell up". The person that spoke up for me knew I was a Veteran because I had a small 1st Cav. Div. pin on my jacket collar along with the Vietnam Campaign ribbon. Several people started clapping and I never felt so proud in a long time.
Thank you for all you do for us and our country. You all are truly a blessing thank you
Respect to ya Jessica,kindness would follow ya for determination choice of been in the army. Thanks to man for his kindness to ya.bless him
When I was working I would travel on airplanes a lot. I flew so much that the carrier I flew on would upgrade me to first class if there was an empty seat. The airline would also give me first class upgrades to use as I see fit. Towards the end of the year my upgrade coupons were about to expire. On one of my jobs just before Christmas I walked the airport concourse and when I saw a military person in uniform I would offer them a first class upgrade. I gave away all my coupons that day. I’m so proud of our military and over ten years I did this until I retired. It made me feel proud to help.
Congratulations & respect ..my son was military over 10 yrs.Thank you Sir God bless you
God bless you Kenneth
As a Vet I've experienced much kindness from civilians in my many travels. I have also experienced a great deal of admiration and courtesy when traveling in other countries, particularly the Middle East. The "news" media is a cesspool of misinformation. disinformation, and outright lies. People in general tend to appreciate those in the military. Civilians live on the ground, not in glass bubbles of delusion.
*"Kindness in humanity still exists".* As a veteran myself, I brought my kids up that when they see or hear of another having served past or present to not miss the opportunity to just walk up and say "Thank you". A soldier isn't expecting thanks from anyone but it sure feels good to know others care and appreciate your service and sacrifice. God Bless America!
She is a Major not a Private . Cannot understand how she felt she was to broke. If you are that tired then pay for your comfort like everyone else. Wearing your Uniform is not safe .
@@gordonnadolni8727 Not sure if your comment was directed to me but it's under my comment and I never said anything about her rank. As for your stating, she should pay her own way, for someone with a Patriotic heart it isn't about whether you can afford it or not, it's a matter of respect and appreciation. I use to take military hops all the time and you never know what airline you were going to get on because it's based on availability and moving from base to base yes we always wore our uniforms (we don't live in Afghanistan where it would be unsafe). In this story, a gentleman is showing his gratitude for her service and sacrifice. No, a soldier does not make what the majority of Americans make, it's basically around minimum wage if you were to give it an 8-hour day wage but I don't know any military personnel that was never required to work longer hours than a regular business day or be on call every moment of their day holiday or not ready to deploy on a moments notice. I respect what he did and think it was a wonderful gesture of kindness to someone who is serving her country regardless of her pay rate.
A wonderful good caring gesture. Thank you for sharing. Anyone that doesn't have the patience to listen has never had a husband, family member or CHILD in the military risking their lives for them. Kindness is there and thank you!!
Or they think they never wasted 1 min or 10 min of their lives. I'm sure they waste plenty more every day of their lives.
Most definitely! I wish I could do that but I do not have the funds! I truly appreciate our Armed Forces Personnel.
just simply saying thankyou for your service makes us veterans and serving members feel good
Talking about military personnel, really brings out tears in me. I'm not in any way or my family in any way is related to defence or military. But at the bottom of my heart I salute these personnel. But there are some wretched assholes in this world who does not appreciate their service. These people need to understand that it is because of the so called military we can sleep comfortably in our house. They are our first line of defence against all kind if terrorists. If gotten a chance I will appreciate everyone who reads this msgs to help them in any way you can. May God bless them and the humanity race against all evil.

you dont have these feelings in the usa only. believe me. greetings from germany. sadly our ppl dont notice what the army is doing for them. i wish some more from what you have for our soldiers.my nieghborhood did look strange on me as i came back from afghanistan.
@@Sururgash thank you Patrick for sharing your thoughts and also the great country of Germany.
@@Sururgash take you all that served in the armed forces. Your service and sacrifice, we are all grateful especially when we are asleep in the world you all keep us safe and sound. God bless you and your families safety. Our prayers are with you !
@@leswalker2639 thanks man i really appreciate that. and i will tell that my unit for sure.
That was a better story than people being rude on planes for not wearing masks. Loved the story 🏆🌺
It's not rude........it's about control freaks wielding power........masks literally no nothing to stop a virus.........it's about morally defective control freaks with petty little minds feeling validated by a false feeling of controlling others........when they can't even control themselves
That is so awesome. What a kind man she deserved that because how she protects the country.
Such a precious story. We all could show more caring for our service members and veterans.
Its fake
how about that the rich get like 3-4 feet between seats yet the others are in need of just a couple more inches,,its criminal
ABSOLUTELY❤🇺🇸
God’s angels come at the least expected moments but they walk amongst us every day !!! God bless both of them!!!! Amazing story!!! 🥲

Please keep the children's fairy tales to yourself and not try to brainwash the other weak minded people who may read your comments.
Over the years my family and myself has served in the U.S. Military for over 85+ years (starting with WWII to present), it nice to see America someone appreciate what all have sacrificed.
I truly appreciate your family member's service. My great great grandfather fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War. I have ancestors that served in the military during the American Revolution. My grandfather was in WWII. My dad served in the Army. I have two ex sons-in-laws that served in the Army and have 7 deployments to Iraq & Afghanistan between them and my daughter was in the Marine Corps Reserves and went to Afghanistan for 7 months. There's a lot of sacrifice that goes into serving in the military and I appreciate all who sign their name on the dotted line.
There are sooo many Kindpeople in the world. Thank you Sir.
For the milatory women thank u for all your sacrifices. And for the kind man u are a true gentleman
This warms my Heart ❤ and brought tears to my eyes. Because with all of the unrest in the world, there are still good people in this world left. If we all would stop and think for a moment, we could at least change some things. Thank You, Both of You for being so kind and understanding. May God Bless you both and to Everyone else also. Thank You
Ok ok
Very touching story I truly believe this kind of generosity has been with us for a very long time some people call them angels among us.
I did the same when a soldier came on board while I was sitting in first class. I motion to the steward to have the soldier sit in my sit. This happened more than once when traveling on American Airlines from LAX to LAX.
Once there was a family that had smaller children. The gate asked those in first-class if they could take up seats in coach. I didn't hesitate in seeing the small toddlers could sit in one row. We need to be thoughtful to others.
Great military, great Country full of wonderful people God bless that patriotic citizen and may God continue to bless United States of America.
Actually, I think Pfizer is pitching in a bit more than God right at this moment.
You guys are so amazing beautiful and sweet thank goodness for good caring people god bless you all and take care!!!!😇😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Whenever I see anyone in uniform whether it be in a grocery store or bank, anywhere, I always thank them for their service.
"How could she ever repay him?"
She already did, by sacrificing her life everyday to protect those of us who live in this country.
Military personal and veterans deserve their own first class section in commercial flights.
Cause there is no price you can ever put on a human life, and anybody willing to put that life on the line to protect people they don't know, deserve the best we can offer.
Agreed 👍
Absolutely.
The American sycpphancy over their military is quite nauseating.
They arent conscripts, they volunteer.
Yes, they deserve our respect, but we dont need to fawn over them.
@@sandersson2813 Nauseating? Wow, that's a shitty comment coming from a shitty human being.
I agree I also think our military shouldn't have to ride in coach. They are willing to die so airplanes full of people have the right to fly safely. The airlines make money off military personnel sill on duty. It's sickening. Since they do they should be given discounted tickets so they can fly with a bit of leg room. Just my opinion
It takes a strong man to love a soldier and it that's a strong woman to love a military man💯
Thank you

What my mother told me lol
My son said when his flight landed in Dallas TX he was waiting his flight to Omaha Ne an being in uniform went to the bar to by a drink an a guy told him his money was no good there an paid for all his drinks. This not what people want to hear about but what counts is people recognize or service men an women. God Bless Them all an those who sacrificed everything for are freedom
I would never go into that bar.
It's very worth hearing. Glad you shared. Thank your son for us. God bless him and you all
really ?... god bless them all ?...
David Berkowitz ( Son of Sam ) --- US Army (1971-74)
Jeffery Dahmer --- US Army ( 1979-81)
Timothy McVeigh --- US Army (1988-91)
Mahmudiyah rapists and killers --- US Army 2006
As a country we need to stop with the blanket statements.
Would be nice if we could start judging people by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin, place of worship or wearing of a uniform.
@@davec6016 what are you taking about? God loves even the worst of them!! If you proclaim to God Yahweh and Christ Jesus Yeshua Hamashiach you best know God's Holy Bible.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Let me explain in context
Your neighbor is ANYONE standing next to you. So, if you, even without knowing, you better be able to say, you love your neighbor next to you!
Read God's Word
@@cryswalden131 when i see the phrase 'god bless them all' , I take that as the writer hoping god blesses them all in that group specifically ( in this case those in military service). If the writer hopes and thinks god should bless everybody, wouldn't it be... 'god bless us all'?
You are talking about what god feels to all of us... pretty presumptuous as well, but you think reading some ancient books translated a dozen times gives you that insight, well... bless your heart.
I was replying to Randy who hoped god blessed all those who are serving/served in the military. I doubt he would want god to bless Osama bin Laden. I was just making the point there are OBL types (evil) everywhere even in uniform so let's praise people on their actions and beliefs not what they are wearing.
How awesome this gentleman from first class to trade seats with a soldier. God bless him and I hope dinner went very well also. Very rare to hear a story like this and thank you for sharing it Daily Dose.
I felt tears of gratitude starting after hearing the story of the female soldier who was treated well due to her station in life and her patriotism. It could have been my daughter.
Aww good men. It happened to me when I came home.. too.. matter in fact that he was a business woman. She made me cry that time. I remember I was only 19 then.
Thank You & God Bless You for Your Service
What the world needs now is not love ... it's kindness.
Bravo I wish this will happen all the time to unite us not divide 🙏
Love this story!! "Be the change you want to see in this world"
I remember it was the day before drill weekend for my National Guard unit and I was in uniform at the time getting ready to take public transit into the city to catch an Amtrak train to the town of my duty station. As I waited for the next trolley to take me to the city I had lunch at a nearby diner, unfortunately no longer there today. When I was about to pay for my lunch I was told a stranger who had been dining in the corner, paid for my meal before she left. She didn't have to do that but it was one of the nicest random acts of kindness I had received. Normally it would be me paying for someone's meal on my journeys to and from my post. I'd usually buy some hot food for homeless people around the Amtrack station and public transit terminal just because it felt right to do.
I’m an ordinary woman. Everyday I thank GOD for those brave men and women who stand guard watching and keeping their eyes open. These men and women keep freedom ringing and the ordinary citizen safe. THANKY YOU TO ALL WHO KEEP IS SAFE. A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO KEEP US SAFE💕
My husband gave up his first class seat twice for a man who sat uncomfortably because he was big and tall and to another woman who cannot fit the seat well too. For me I gave up my first class seat for my best friend and she was so confused when the flight attendant called her name. After the plane landed she expressed her sincere thanks saying that she just had the best flight ever that she will never forget. :) I felt so happy about it and today I smile after reading this, It reminds me...
That's Man needs to be polite I bet he treats his mother with nothing but Great. His mother and father thought him manners he was thankful of what she did for our Country. Thank you for doing what you did Sir
My story may not go viral like this one did but it shows that there are a lot of really nice people in this world. Most of my early life I was treated very poorly by others that I went to school with and people i worked with as well as others that met . A lot of them wouldn't have anything to do with me. Now that I'm older I have had people offer to help me out if I needed it. This help was never asked for by me and was and is greatly appreciated. I would would be in a local store ready to check out and not have enough money to pay for the items that I bought. These people would step forward and pay what I owed. Which goes to say that love and kindness can go a long way to making this world a better place.
This happened to me whenever I was coming home from basic and AIT.....I never met the gentleman that offered me his first class seat. I wish I would’ve I would have given him a huge hug
Huge respect for you ❤️
Same happened to be but untied airlines moved me and my battle buddy to first class and made sure we were taken care if
@@kevinulrick5727 thank you for your service
@@holistictherapist6494 thank you.
@@kevinulrick5727 it's THANK YOU for YOUR service
Wow! ❤ we still have kind people on this Earth’s, God blessed both of you and thank you for saving our country’s. ❤️♥️💪💪💪🌈🙏🙏
I love this story! I was in the Navy and a corpsman with the marines during Vietnam. When flying back to the states I was treated like crap both times I was returning to the states by people who hated anyone served in Vietnam. Glad to see minds and hearts have changed.
Veterans of the Vietnam war were treated shabby for sure. Shame on America during that time and to you I say a belated welcome home and thank you for your service.
it was so very, very wrong how our service people were treated back then.
Marines love Corpsmen. SFMF!
