And you noticed the kid slammed his left foot down when he came to attention to salute? And the guy in charge of the soldiers had them “eyes right” to the lad, as well.
What a great little kid.

Brought a tear to my eye to watch him waiting so patiently and then to receive such a great recognition from the passing troops. We need a Hell of a lot more of that around here!

Good Video. What an honor.
Whats sad is that there are so few doing the soldiers the respect that this little boy has done them.
Sometimes a civilization falls because it no longer has the desire to defend itself.
In our case, the libtards are a crystal clear example of just that happening.
Brown-shirted little bastard. I see the makings of the next Hitler.
Seig Heil!!!

When I was doing basics we always returned the kids salutes when they watched us on the parade ground.
A soldier always salutes an officer and anyone paying the uniform respect like the kid did.
Also, credit to the unseen heroes in this: his parents. In an age where it seems that kids are more allowed to run free-range and do whatever they want, than taught and (here’s a throwback concept) formed, it seems that this one knows why he is there, why they are there, and the proper way to perform the salute. He didn’t get that from the water or the food, he got it from the folks. And he isn’t apeing what he’s watching someone else do. He’s fully aware, and Mom or Dad is there, recording it for posterity.

Kid is dressed as a WWII Canadian Black Watch corporal or at least thats what it looks like. The guy at right marker position in the marching unit looks to be a reservist probably Canadian Scottish or 48th Highlanders. Are you sure this is Belgium? It might be the annual Niemegen event in the Netherlands.
That little guy is standing ramrod straight.
Pride is a beautiful thing.
God, if only an ounce of national pride rubbed off from that kid to the idiots who live here, we’d never have voted in the schmuck in office now.

That was a great way to start the day.
Thanks, Dick and Og.

I applauded all the way through that one. Thanks, Oggie!

Good post!

…and ridicules those who do. Note the laughter right after the eyes right.
Shameful.
Hey Libsarenavelint – Get f’d!!!
Kid makes you proud to be a soldier, no matter what country you’re from.
I’m not gonna cry….I’m NOT gonna cry…
Damn, must have something in my eye….
