This video is so touching, especially for those who have loved ones onboard the USS Green Bay. Thank you so much for the video. =)

thank you so much my son is a marine on the green bay and without your video i would of never seen him deploying thanks so much

@ssanddollar1 Thanks. I feel blessed to know that the effort to film deployments (when able to get out there) is a blessing to many of you parents/loved ones. All the comments mean a lot. They are a thrill to watch, and always make me feel pride in our country, as they sail by. Let me (off line only) know when they are about to come home, and I will try to capture that as well.

Hi! I hope you will upload USS Cleveland deployment too. For some reason, my camera did not work while they're departing. I was so disappointed cause my mom didn't get to see my brother aboard. Thank you so much! I really appreciate your efforts to upload videos. God Bless your beautiful soul.

Thank you! Outstanding! While I was able to see them off, I was unfamiliar with area roads and didn't see them sail past : ( your video has brought a BIG smile to my face and a tear to my eye. I can stop motion and see my Navy son along the rail. Thank you!

@missababy26 Awe, that is very cool. These videos are the least that this one local citizen can do for all of you. -- wish I could make it out to all the ships and film them, but thank God I was able to get out and film this that day. She is a beauty to film.

Thank you so much for this great video. My son is a sailor on the USS Greenbay, and being in Virginia, we could not be there. This is wonderful! Go Navy! God Bless and God speed!

[zeldadroc]

Thank you so much for that. My boyfriend is a Marine on that ship and seeing this brought tears to my eyes!

[bbittner1]

God Bless all our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers who are aboard that ship. May they fulfill their duties and return to us in one piece (all 4000 of them). We thank them for their sacrifice and pray for them each day.

[Susanbrla]

Thank you for shooting this video and posting it. My nephew is on that ship, we are in Louisiana so we sadly weren't able to go see him off. It was truly amazing - thank you again!!!

[ziggy44557]

Thank you sooo much for taking time to do this!! You are awesome. We were the ones on the pier with you and enjoyed meeting you. It was such a great sight to see and a proud and sad moment for us! Thanks again, it is very much appreciated!!

[TallSky]

@ziggy44557 It was a pleasure to meet all of you. That is one of the best things about being there along the shore to film, is meeting good kind Navy families like yours. Yours, and all these other comments are precious to me as well. Thanks for the good company while filming!

[Katsandthem]

Great post! I am very proud of my son who is a chief aboard the USS Green Bay. May all the service men and women return home safe. God Bless!

I wasn't able to be there and see him leave so this video touches my heart. Thank you so much for taking this video and posting it for his family to see.

[1110Joanne]

Thank you for posting this video, I am a proud mom of a Marine on this ship.

[TallSky]

@1110Joanne You must be very proud, and rightly so. What a sight it is to see them!
