Im also proud of this reporter who you could tell as he was speaking was obviously getting choked up. God bless all those involved in this, especially this little boy!!
To whom it may concern, I myself Petty Officer Jarod Waldron of the USS Virginia (SSN-774) United States Navy thank your father for his HEROIC and COURAGEOUS act. Also by paying the ultimate sacrifice. For serving this great NATION 🇺🇸.
And I thank YOU for YOUR heroism and courage! Thank you for your service! Anyone who puts their life on the line and leaves their families to protect us and our nation is a hero. God bless!🇺🇸
Dad, you raised a great kid. Even though you're gone your legacy lives on in his exemplary behavior. Former Marine to brave soldier and good father, Semper Fi.
This child is a gift from God! The world is blessed to have him share his love and caring to others. May God bless him and his family, now and forever, AMEN!
WOW, I CRIED LIKE A BABY WATCHING THIS LITTLE HERO. MAY THE LORD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY AND GIVE THIS ANGEL A NEW DAD WHO LOVES LIKE HE DOES🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Without a doubt his Father is beyond amazed and proud of how his Wife raised his boy. People move on, but a son's bond and eternal love for his hero never ends. I hope his wife is doing well. Gold Stars are the worst medal you can ever receive.
What a great kid. Speaking as someone who has served in the forces, went to war and was fortunate enough to come back, this really hits home. His dad will be so proud of him.
I cried like a baby when I seen this video. I am not American I am Irish but I love America and the job the military do protecting the free world. God bless this kid
That's gotta be the most humble kid I've seen on TH-cam. Man, this little man reminds us all that selflessness goes a long way and yet he suffered a great lose. His father would be looking down so proud. Angel's on his shoulder for the rest of his life I hope. Good on ya mate!
My dad also died when I was 1. He died of a heart attack. This isn’t about me I just wanted to share my story. Now I wanna become this kids best friend. He’s a great kid and I know he will grow up to be VERY successful.
That liitle boy amazing!! God bless him. I'm sure his daddy is looking down at him with such Pride!! So heartwarming! CBS great job please keep it up!! All of these segments really show that sometimes, just sometimes we all can show the best in all of us!! and just hopefully help all of us to become better people!!
What an incredibly wonderful young man Miles is. This story reduced me to tears. We need more angels like him, well done Miles, you're a credit to the younger generation and you have shown us the gift of love and compassion.
Wow what a great big heart God bless you son and I'm so sorry about your dad I know he is so proud of you because I know he can see you, hear, and feel your heart God bless you.
Your Dad is smiling from heaven with pride for who you have become and how your kind gesture has made a difference in this world. My condolences to you and your mother for your loss. Hugs! ❤️
I've seen this story before and viewing it again I can't stop being so proud of this lad. I hope he has a blessed new year and may his giving spirit continue to be infectious.
This made me cry hope this little boy knows his father's watching over them who died fighting for our country prayers and condolences go out to this family he'll be honored but not forgotten so sad 😢😢😢
Seeing this 9 years after put a massive lump in my throat. A military veteran here in Scotland and myles you will be 18 now a man who's heart is as big as the 9 years difference in time. Your dad will be truly proud as I am of you. I salute you and thank you for paying it forward
It's a shame that I've lived more than half a century in my country but I've never seen or heard any kind act like that of Myles Eckert in my own country. Your dad and mom are definitely proud of you, Myles Eckert. God bless you. God bless America.
This actually made me cry for half an hour because my uncle died when he was on patrol with his fire team, I wish that young man gets to meet his father again, but he could feel his love in person.
You could hear the reporter getting choked up when he said: "someone would be very proud". Maybe what I'm about to say is controversial, but I hope Myles doesn't enlist. It's possible that he wants to follow in his father's footsteps but he could change thousands of lives with his kind heart if he applies it in humanitarian work. I also don't want to see him changed by the things he would see while fighting. He is a pure-hearted and optimistic boy and I hope he grows until a pure-hearted optimistic man.
I’m a air force cadet and I have seen a lot of kind things for long time but out of everything I have seen and done this kid deserves a medal and great awards I’m very proud of him knowing he can help are soldiers oorah to this young man💪🏽🇺🇸
It's 7:22 and I am in tears I'm so sorry miles but you are a young man with a big heart a man of conviction and integrity mom you raised him right and dad thank you for your SACRIFICE.
😢😢😢...and not ashamed. We have all lost someone we love...and its those times you are reminded of them..that you are the true you. I love and miss mine.
this kid is going to be a great man someday...
huh howulovethat He already is and before he was even conceived. Military kids are exceptional.
He already and the age of 9 he could teach a lot of adults on what it means to be a real MAN.
He already is
huh howulovethat yep as if he isn’t now
Eventually
That actually brought me to tears. I'm not ashamed
Same with me, more people need to take lessons from this young hero
i'm bawlin' here.
Kyle L. Same
Same here the note got me
Me too
Omg he looks exactly like his Dad.
He does!
Entity ikr!
Im also proud of this reporter who you could tell as he was speaking was obviously getting choked up. God bless all those involved in this, especially this little boy!!
i was thinking the same...if that was his best Take u can imagine how often he tried it...but why hiding..we all humans
I started crying when he said his dad died an I cried my eyes out
Omg, same.
me too dammit !!
same
Me to Man 😭😭😭
😭😭😭😭
The way he hugged his dad's headstone i almost suffocated myself. My heart! 😢

His mother did a fabulous job raising a boy to be a man. God bless strong women like this! What a precious child.
Of all the videos I've seen, this one did me in. And now I'm crying. Thank you.
Me too😢
I was crying and I’m not ashamed
This is 5 years old, but I’m crying like a baby! That little boy is a beacon of light in this dark world. I hope he is still a happy young man!
Myles looks like his dad. He should be proud of his dad. So, in reality, he's taking after his dad.
Dad, you raised a great kid. Even though you're gone your legacy lives on in his exemplary behavior. Former Marine to brave soldier and good father, Semper Fi.
The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree!, Great Story!
just WOW...thanks to the Family for raising such a fine Spirit...keep it up!
This child is a gift from God! The world is blessed to have him share his love and caring to others. May God bless him and his family, now and forever, AMEN!

A simple act of kindness morphs in $250K for a great cause. I love this great news. Hugsssssssss to you Myles.
Why’d they have to show him hugging the tombstone and just absolutely crush me...
What a great kid. Speaking as someone who has served in the forces, went to war and was fortunate enough to come back, this really hits home. His dad will be so proud of him.
I was already crying at the start of this video but, I full on ugly cried seeing him hugging his father's headstone..😭
Of all the pictures I have ever seen, this captures something so emotional. A loving son hugging his father whom he never met but obviously loves. .
I cried like a baby when I seen this video. I am not American I am Irish but I love America and the job the military do protecting the free world. God bless this kid
I was trying so hard to hold it up but I lost it at "somebody would be very proud".
Tears and mountains of goosebumps!
He is a total reflection of his father, my salute to the dad and son both
Ok as a veteran myself now I'm misty eyed.god bless this young man .I'm so sorry for your loss.and I agree your dad would be so proud of you.
His dad is looking down on him, a beautiful boy, maybe those who gave this a thumbs down, could take a leaf out of this boys book.
Okay...I'm a military mom and someone has definitely been cutting onions. Bless this little Angel.
That's gotta be the most humble kid I've seen on TH-cam. Man, this little man reminds us all that selflessness goes a long way and yet he suffered a great lose. His father would be looking down so proud. Angel's on his shoulder for the rest of his life I hope. Good on ya mate!
Wow wow wow 😮 how beautiful this boy is ,God bless him And God Bless all the Soldiers .
Mama raised him right, we need more people like him, God bless his soul
There's a lot of good kids about who do amazing stuff
It's just that the media would prefer mostly negative stories about the youth
My dad also died when I was 1. He died of a heart attack. This isn’t about me I just wanted to share my story.
Now I wanna become this kids best friend. He’s a great kid and I know he will grow up to be VERY successful.
I’m not very emotional but this made me shed a few tears this young man will be a hero one day just like his dad
Your Dad is so proud of you
That liitle boy amazing!! God bless him. I'm sure his daddy is looking down at him with such Pride!! So heartwarming! CBS great job please keep it up!!

I've been watching steve hartman stories for an hour now. Im laying in a puddle of tears now.
When the narrator said “somebody would be very proud” I teared up. This is such a good story.
Yes ... somebody IS very proud. Love to all :)
Wow what a great big heart God bless you son and I'm so sorry about your dad I know he is so proud of you because I know he can see you, hear, and feel your heart God bless you.
Great story indeed. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the entire world worked that way. God bless people like this.
This kid literally made me cry. Im not the kind of person to cry that, the last time i did when I found out my dad died. God bless him.
Even the guy telling the story is trying not to cry, you can hear it from his voice
Even the narrator's voice cracked a bit at the start! This is kid is a human treasure
We as adults can learn so much from children I listen to my children we have great conversations they definitely help me be a better person
I love this story. It brings tears to my eyes. What a beautiful child.
There are still reasons to believe in humanity. Ty for this video
Your Dad is smiling from heaven with pride for who you have become and how your kind gesture has made a difference in this world. My condolences to you and your mother for your loss. Hugs! ❤️

the son of a hero is right in his footsteps. his dad is very proud of him & so are millions of us. great role model already. & kudos to mama too.
This made me cry hope this little boy knows his father's watching over them who died fighting for our country prayers and condolences go out to this family he'll be honored but not forgotten so sad 😢😢😢
This story is 6 years old and it still brings tears to my eyes.

That mom did a really good job raising him. And all by herself. Blessings
Awh I learned this at school when I man came to our school and told us this story a couple years ago.
sobbing! got chills when I saw the dads photo! kid is going to do wonderful things in this world

I have never cried on these type of videos. Why am I teary? I thought I lost my soul already.
Wow! He's looks just like his dad who I'm sure is smiling down on this wonderful boy who will become a great man. God bless that family.
His dad is looking down and is very proud of him ....to see what a good boy he is growing out to be without him beside his kid.
Asking GOD'S blessings for this young boy and his family and may his father REST IN THE ARMS OF GOD!
God bless u child. Love from India 🇮🇳
Remember to thank them for their sacrifices, too. We know the service is expected.
What an outstanding young man. God bless you sweetheart.
Dude... This is pulls my heart strings. God damn. "dear soldier. My dad was a soldier. He's in heaven now" Right in the heart man.
His Dad would be so proud.
I hope if I ever had a son he turns like this kid

special Mother to raise a son like that .
