    Thank you so much for your service. Word's cannot describe my gratitude. I enlisted in the Marine Corps as well and I can't wait to be able to join your ranks as a United States Marine. I've heard many infantry guy's say something to the extent of "I'm not a hero, I'm just a Marine" and I'm sure you sometimes feel like just a man, a Marine doing his job, but know to people like myself, you are a hero. Period. Selfless people like yourself give me hope and inspiration. Again, thank you for your service. America owes you and so many others a debt that will never be paid back, but know that one day your actions will be honored in a place with much more to offer than this world does. Semper Fi.

    Kyle- The great legacy of our Corps rides proudly on the shoulders of warriors such as yourself. That, in itself, brings honor and tribute not only to you, but to those that instilled the values you hold; not just the DI's, but earlier, to your parents, mentors, teachers and friends. Add to that the tremendous character, power and spirit you have demonstrated through today is remarkable and inspiring. I will likely never have the opportunity to meet you, share a beer and tell tales. From afar, all I can do is say thanks, Semper Fi and ask that you share my thanks with your family for all they have done. Great job by them too!

      In a time when all most kids seem to think about is how they're going to get rich or be a video gamer or whatever it takes a very good person to decide, "I'm not worried about getting rich and I don't want to sit around and get famous by playing video games. I'm going to wear the globe and anchor and take up the mantle of US Marine and do something for my country instead of asking what my country can do for me or sitting around on a couch pretending to be something." That alone is something, but to go down to the recruiter and sign up is truly something.
      Good luck to you and your son, and God bless. Same to all the other military members and their families, past and present, and to those who aspire to take their place amongst those who serve this great nation day and night, any time they are needed and any place they are needed and the families of those people who will someday be part of that same community. You are all in my prayers, and I am sure many others are praying for you as well.

    WOW Kyle just an amazing story. I thought your saying your mom keeps everything was pretty cool too and I hope she continues although she probably will. My sister in law has an old shoe box of letters her dad a WWII Marine wrote home during that time. The box is old and the letters are faded & yellow but the memories remain. I was fortunate enough to hear some of his stories first hand and they made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I never asked him or my father in law (USN WWII) to tell me anything I just waited & hoped they would. Boy was I glad when they did and I will remember those men and their stories for the rest of my life. FLY NAVY!!!

    Seen alot of videos on this guy and they've all been awesome . This guy absolutely doesn't look 10 feet tall and indestructible but I believe it's just the camera angles they use to make him look like the rest of us. True hero and warrior . Thanks for your service

    It's surreal seeing his Psalms 144 tattoo. My son, a Corporal in the Marine Corps, has the same verse tatted on him. I'm grateful that God has protected our Marines - and to the Marines who've fallen in battle, they can now stand with King David, the author of that beautiful Psalm. God bless us all. Amen

    Obviously, Kyle Carpenter is American courage personified and a great human being that all kids should admire. What I take away from this video is the character of his mother. What an unbelievable woman. I can only wish I had the support and love from my mother that she showed her son. Now my greatest wish is I find a woman like her to be the mother of my kids.
    If she ever reads this message, please be very proud of yourself. Thanks for taking care of a returning vet, but more importantly, thanks for being a beautiful mother to a son.

    As a vet from Australia I do not care if he is American or not, To me he is a Hero born and bread. I wish that I had even 10% of his courage, I suggest that they should make a statue of him and what he did, to be posted at the main gate for encourgement to others. You make all soldiers proud brother

    Watching this video, I felt tears fall upon my face. I have never been an outwardly emotional person, so this says alot. This young man, with no regard for his own safety, threw himself on a grenade to save hus fellow Marines. This fact falls uoon many a deaf ear. His dedication to his fellow Marines, is matched by no other! Thank you Sir, your country and your fellow Marines, will forever hold you in thier hearts...
