It’s so moving to see a kid his age with interests so far beyond his age. I really do pray that this kid makes it as a SEAL. He has a big heart and a lot of balls, two traits that SEALs have.
This video ought to be looped in the lobby of every welfare office in the country, so people walking in looking for an easy handout can see what can happen when you decide to take control of your life and give yourself some goals to accomplish. Nothing is easy, but men become SEALs, and kids battle cancer. How much more confirmation do you need that in America, people have all the opportunity they need to do anything they want? Very, very inspirational video. Thanks for posting it....
HOOYAH Dillon... you're an incredible testament to both the youth of our nation and those who suffer in the grip of cancer in all its varied forms. Never give up. Never quit. You embody all the things which are most sought in the men training to be SEALs. If you are ever given the opportunity to attend that training, I have no doubt you'll make it all the way to the Teams. If I was a bit younger, I'd love to serve alongside you!

I wish I could have met this incredible young man when he was here in Chesapeake. If you don't get chills, shed a tear or fail to learn about life, love and courage,...then you might not be a human..(joke). Beautiful survival story. Please share this. God Bless & protect you Dillon, and God Bless Our Troops!
you'll make it kid. keep that determination and fire burning. you WILL be one of the elites. I salute and give tremendous respect to all SEAL teams. they sacrifice the most out of their lives and sadly, not many understand WHY they do what they do. you'll get there dillon, you'll make it. HONOR, COURAGE and COMMITMENT.
Very well. This video is so important and great. Keep working and I wish the best to you Dillon, I'm sure you will achieve whatever you believe and think about. Thanks for the video Mr. Shipley.
Wow Dillon you are gonna make a great seal..Coming from me is a big compliment because I usually bash seal hopeful kids..But you are something special
Dillon, you believe in the words that you say, "never quit", and I'm sure that that will play a huge role in cancer survival and making it to the teams, both physically and mentally
Don, absolutely amazing, it's not just the Seal way it's the military's way to help people where they can. All the guys I know active would have done the same if they had the right people to call, you did and you did it. You sir are an ambassador of healing. I'm proud.
OMG, I think this video might be a sign from God letting me know that everything will be okay. A close friend of mine, a little boy I baby-sit for, was just diagnosed with luekimia last week & I've been feeling hopeless ever since I found out. After watching this video I've come to realize the world is not over & my little buddy will overcome this challenge. So thank you for posting this video & for reminding me never to give up. God bless you!
Damn, when I was 11 I couldn't do 5 pull ups. Now I can do alot more but 200+ is a shit lode in one sitting. Its going to be cool when he makes it to the seals.
This is a truly inspiring story. This kid was told he had a fucking 6% chance of living! Pretty much saying he was gonna die. He's battled it for years. He could have easily felt sorry for himself and no one would have blamed him. Yet he decided that he wasn't gonna quit even though the odds were way against him. Every day we see people bitching about their life, their job, how much it sucks, feeling sorry for themselves. This kid is a true pipe swinger
Dillon you are an outstanding young man. I know you will continue to fight and stay motivated. The SEAL's do not award their trident easily and I'm sure they see what a truely special person you are. Take care and stand tall SEAL pup.
