Obviously you are making it a race issue 🙄 People you act like there is a racist waiting under every blade of grass. PUT THE VICTIM CARD AWAY, for Gods sake.

The way the wife hugged her! And the very first words she gets to hear from him are: “Honest to God, I love you so much.” I mean COME ON!!🥺🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️ Beautiful 🤗
All the parties involved seem like the sweetest people. 😭 I love how she showed up in her uniform and it made him so happy with pride. This reminds me that I want to choose my words carefully because the simplist words could mean a lot to people 😊
“Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you; Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul; the other for your freedom.”.
A teardrop and a heartfelt video. I’m a veteran and there was this Costco greeter and since I was wearing a ball cap of my ship, He would thank me for my service.
Just hearing the passion and his wife voice about the meaning of this letter is so incredible. You truly can tell the impact of what this has meant to him and her all these years. Such a beautiful story
' There is love there' I AM IN TEARS! Thank-you to Frank, his wife Delores, & DeShauna! So much love! A thank-you is sometimes all a person needs to feel appreciated. God Bless all of you and our Veterans on this Day always.
Love this wonderful story, sweet!!! So many hardened hateful hearts everywhere in our country these days, we need more heart warming stories like this,.
This story made my year--- a bright light in all this darkness. . It made me tear up and gives me hope. There is still more goodness in this world than not. Thank God. Blessings to all veterans, active duty military, first responders, and medical personnel. I thank you and your family members for all the sacrifices you made trying to make the world a better, safer, and healthier place.
One vet, getting thanks from a small child that would grow up to join the fight, one child inspired by his bravery, that would keep his heart warm for years. If that isn’t enough to make you cry I don’t know what to tell you
I can't believe this didn't get more likes! Anyways it was heartwarming esp the humour and positivity exhibited by the senior couple and the love and gratitude expressed by the young lady. Just goes to show that people from different backgrounds can connect in a meaningful way simply because they're human beings and not demographics.
This sweetheart veteran & his wife have such a precious reaction to DeShawna. My salute and gratitude for their sacrifice to our country. Blessings to them. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
O man I’m waiting for Friday to see what kind of great story mr Steve have for us Mr Steve hi great I thank you and Mrs Norah o Donnell and cbs for sharing so thank you
Who is not crying their eyes out after this touching peace. It doesn't matter weather you agreed with the war or not. This man served us and our country with live and conviction and probably never got a proper thank you from his government. This beautiful young lady gave him the validation he deserves. Thank you sis, and may Yah bless you and your third daughter !
💚💜💙💛🧡❤️💚❤️🥰😍🥰💚One NEVER KNOWS what an impact you make on another person's life. My father was a soldier ..who fought in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. This made me so cry!!!!!! That elderly couple are THE BEST!!! HERE'S TO THEIR FRIENDSHIP LASTING FOREVER...HOWEVER LONG THAT MIGHT BE!!! 🥰😍🥰❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💚
Not gonna lie, this 64 year old vet has tears watching this. Absolutely beautiful.
The letter validated his life and inspired a young person. I love that. So decent.
👌👍🏼
Now emulate it, Kirk. We need you to do so.
SO glad they got a pic of them together w/o her mask, what a beautiful photo and story!
right??
they deserve a lot more credit
validated it soooo no medals for this guy during his service?
well a letter is better than nottin I suppose
"So, this is the beginning of something." "Yes. Friendship. Family, not friendship." Amen to that.
This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.
“Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you; Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul; the other for your freedom.”.
Ikr… water works are coming…
Agreed. Be well!
No, seriously!
What his wife said about the heart pills was fricken hilarious. What a beautiful story.
She reminds me of Sophia from The Golden Girls.
I laughed so hard when she said that😂
We’re all human beings even the elderly a lot of people forget that . Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
How can someone forget that? Just because we age, it doesn't change who we are. I have never understood that.
Never forgotten, that's where the love starts, the teachers before us. Have a BLESSED day. @LoneSurvivor 🤗❤💪
What a beautiful story .The line that got me was ,Before I close my eyes I have to find her. That's deep.
that lady is a class act. This makes me proud to have worn the uniform. (Though Ex Navy)
So is the veteran.
Thank you for serving Michael
Thank you for your service
@@meja2546 Always welcome.
Retired your never an ex sailor your always a sailor(unless DD) anchors ⚓ away me boy
What a very nice story. Proof that they're is still a chance for us in this world.
@E Ardlow You must be a joy at parties.
Terrible piece of bs propaganda. The devil has no chance in this world.
@E Ardlow so the liberals are right wing now... wahahaha... And the conservatives are wokes...wahahaha
Even though I'm more on the right side... I still love this stories...it's uplifting to me... and makes my eyes watery ..
I love this on so many levels.
This SIMPLE THANK YOU, IS WORTH CELEBRATING & REMEMBERING. . .
Can't believe I actually cried after watching this tears really came out my eyes!!!!
I'm not crying... you're crying. ;)
I swelled up
Lol I cried too. I am grown man, too old for that.
I am crying as well.
I think we all felt it.
I thank the old veteran, his wife for his service to our country, and the sweet girl serving our country too.
the fact that someone in their 90's can be so inclusive, when others who have sacrificed nothing default to hate warms my heart
Obviously you are making it a race issue 🙄 People you act like there is a racist waiting under every blade of grass. PUT THE VICTIM CARD AWAY, for Gods sake.
@Peachie c lol ikr
You are so insightful!
@@f3l7p4dssmoothgaming8 - You just out-ed yourself with this comment. iiool is talking about you! LMAO

It’s good to see a great story like this especially with the stuff going on in the world today. God Bless both of them.

👏👏✊️✊️🙏🏾
@@Brucev7 Amen!
I am glad they got to meet.both good people .A little kindness goes a long way.
The way the wife hugged her!
And the very first words she gets to hear from him are: “Honest to God, I love you so much.”
I mean COME ON!!🥺🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️
Beautiful 🤗
The wife looked like she was about to collapse at the site of the woman who gave her husband recognition in such a sweet letter.
Thank you…that’s when the water works started for me. God is Good….ALL the Time.
@@BrwnEyedSouthernGurlyesss!!
wow what an inspiring story of a little girl that wrote a veteran every day for 12 yes and now is in the army reserves.
Steve Hartmann is professional heart string puller, and I love it
This is exactly what the country needs to hear and see, God bless them all.
You are so right!!
All the parties involved seem like the sweetest people. 😭 I love how she showed up in her uniform and it made him so happy with pride. This reminds me that I want to choose my words carefully because the simplist words could mean a lot to people 😊
Just goes to show you that the gifts that cost nothing are often the most valuable.❤️
Meanwhile, most of the kids today wouldn't even look at a letter. Most of them would toss it in the trash.
I thought "where's his heart pills 😂😂" I love human beings so much. This is beautiful man.
That’s so nice they got to meet. He looked so happy so did the girl that wrote the letter. Bless them all 💕
“Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you; Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul; the other for your freedom.”.
Only took "more than a decade," God bless his sweet soul.
A teardrop and a heartfelt video. I’m a veteran and there was this Costco greeter and since I was wearing a ball cap of my ship, He would thank me for my service.
Most wholesome and happiest news that I've heard in a long time, really made my week with this ❤
Dear CBS, Please report more news stories like this one. Leading by example, both of them and the lovely wife, the vet's #1 cheerleader :)
" Where's his heart pills...this is it, this is the big one. " ❤❤😅 lovely wife indeed..🙌
I LOVE this story!!!! “She’s like my third daughter. She really is.” ❤️
My husband and I cried when we saw this on world news. So beautiful!
Just hearing the passion and his wife voice about the meaning of this letter is so incredible. You truly can tell the impact of what this has meant to him and her all these years. Such a beautiful story
You just never know what an impact a simple act of kindness can have.
Oh god who put those onions next to me?
This needs to go viral. What a wonderful and tear-inducing video. This needs more attention. More positivity in our country.
She got another grandpa. So happy they got to see each other.
I love how she switched quickly from friendship to family
Salute to both.
To me this story is just as great as the little girl and the old man that she wanted a hug. this is just as wonderful.
My God. All great people. Truly the greatest generation.
Beautiful!!
That's absolutely beautiful☺
This is so amazing!
They look like two beautiful souls!
And now she is serving too. Dang! Great story.
The world will be a very sad place without Steve Hartman!
Such joy fills my soul!!!! I love love!
I love hearing about stories like this.
That's a wonderful story
Thank you. The world NEEDS more stories like this at such a time as this...
God bless his wife for being the love of his life. She seems in great shape mentally and physically.
Everytime, I say "Thank you, for your service" to someone who serviced their face just lights up!
' There is love there' I AM IN TEARS! Thank-you to Frank, his wife Delores, & DeShauna! So much love! A thank-you is sometimes all a person needs to feel appreciated. God Bless all of you and our Veterans on this Day always.
I love the story.
In these uncertain times, it's nice to see we can still smile at the purity of a stranger's friendship/family
I am crying. There is so much to love about this. 💜💜💜💜
Steve Hartman. The only bright spot on CBS news.
Steve H., so glad your stories come Friday evening. It's such a great way to end the week.
Love this wonderful story, sweet!!! So many hardened hateful hearts everywhere in our country these days, we need more heart warming stories like this,.

Love is love … true love has no boundaries… ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
I remember writing letters like this as a child and always wondered what the affect was. This is amazing
I couldn’t not watched until the end because this story makes me cry
Who wouldn’t love that story ❤️
Apparently two turds who have no hearts…
That is so precious
So adorable
One vet, getting thanks from a small child that would grow up to join the fight, one child inspired by his bravery, that would keep his heart warm for years. If that isn’t enough to make you cry I don’t know what to tell you
That’s so beautiful, thank you for your service ma’am. I’m sure he’s even more proud. ❤🙏🙏💙
That is soooooooooooo beautiful!
This made me cry

Thank u both so much for your service and especially for the young lady being there when he needed u the most
Private, this old Sergeant salutes you! Hooah!

Beautiful reunion!
Such a great story. I rarely like a video because I don't want it saved but I have to like this one. Such a sweet ending that they are family now ❤️
Just the best. Warms my heart.

What a great story! I’m in tears!!
Watch this story more than five times🥲Him and his wife have beautiful souls❤️❤️
Aw......bless his heart and this young girl. I'm so proud of them both. ❤️
Gaps of generation, race, and sex yet no political arguing. We can do it people it’s not that hard
Amen !,
Such an amazing story. Thank you for your services to the both of you and may your family friendship grow and grow ❤
Nicest story I’ve seen in a while with everything that’s been going on lately.
What a touching moment. This is absolutely beautiful. These are the moments that should talked about and cherished.
If the entire world would open their hearts to love one another. What a wonderful world this would be....
This sweetheart veteran & his wife have such a precious reaction to DeShawna. My salute and gratitude for their sacrifice to our country.
Blessings to them. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
Absolutely beautiful god bless these two AMERICAN PATRIOTS and I thank them for their service and sacrifice to keep us free.
Really nice sentiment. Too bad you’re one of the people who divide, not us bring together.
Its amazing with a simple act of kindness ⚘⚘
O man I’m waiting for Friday to see what kind of great story mr Steve have for us Mr Steve hi great I thank you and Mrs Norah o Donnell and cbs for sharing so thank you
