HEY, to the people who disliked this video, why don't you just stop being a jerk and leave this video alone. Didn't anyone teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? Because, if you picking on this video, then you're picking on me. So just BACK OFF.

@2012memphisbest ME 2!

[uhscoyotes07]

Only in the south do you see something this amazing where a civilian school honors and the people there truly appreciate the service of our men and women overseas. Go to the West Coast and New England areas, you won't find something like this. Sad fact. But that's why I love the south and Tennessee is my 2nd most favorite state in the Union (only to my beloved home of Texas)....besides, without Tennessee, Texas would never have come to exist the way it did....

[zachanderson9iup]

i have that guitar strap!!!

[luvsNickiNerdluvs]

THAT'S MY SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! 

[oregonlover11]

@luvsNickiNerdluvs so ur dad just got back

[ALKEFE1]

who are those who dislkied this video im about to sshoot em foos..muahahaha

[shatros]

@mrjackcoffee Scum like you are not worthy to lick the shit off his boots. You obviously are far too much of a coward to have ever served your country. Now run along and slither back under your rock.

[mrjackcoffee]

@shatros Calm down little redneck. I pay more in taxes in one year than this clown will make in his lifetime. Who is the better American? Think!

[shatros]

@mrjackcoffee material wealth is not a measure of your value to society.

[mrjackcoffee]

@shatros Of course you would say that shatros. You are losing in life. Thanks for my tax cut- keep voting republican for me. I pay Hannity to entertain you and get what I want.

[shatros]

@mrjackcoffee I'm not a republican you piece of shit. Of course only a moron would think that suporting servicemen and appriciating their sacrifice is an indication of party afiliation. This serviceman fights for your freedom every day but your too caught up in your own little world of material gain to understand that point. You do not deserve the freedom he buys you with his service every day.

[mrjackcoffee]

@shatros. Wrong on several frons shartros. Lets start. 1) Watch the cuss words- sign of someone stupid. 2) I dont care about you supporting servicemen- never have. Think more and open legs less. 3) I pay more in taxes in one year and this 'servicemean' someone counts as more American? 4) How has the 'serviceman' bought my freedom? Remember- YouTube not for hooking up so please stop the private messages. Republican redneck.

[TheNickncb1]

@mrjackcoffee tosser

[Rush888]

thats kick ass

[sweetdeeva39]

This is my daughter, and it was one of the coolest moments of my life. I still get teary eyed when I see it. She was sick, had been in the hospital the day before. I rushed in from KY, begged the DR to let her walk for graduation, and it all went off well. A really great day for my family.

[sweetdeeva39]

This is my daughter, and I have to say, this was one of the coolest moments of my life. She was in the hospital the day before with a severe respiratory infection, and we didn't know if she was even going to get to walk for graduation. He had been back in the States for almost 2 weeks, her two younger sisters managed to not spill the beans, and when it was over, the entire row where my family sat breathed a huge sigh of relief.

[jonsimswanders]

thank you for not showing her initial reaction or her running over there! other than that, this was awesome...

[somebodyrocks2345]

[smileyfan09]

wow that is awesome....i know how it feels to have a member of your family not come to a graduation ceremony...i recently graduated from high school and my grandfather couldn't make it because he is in the hospital....yes, he still is....and i graduated 3 weeks ago.....

[OjosNativo]

That's awesome! No better way to celebrate a new beginning

[tltjjvideo]
