Wow glad to hear the good news regarding this brave fine young man! God works in many strange ways and although his illness had sidetracked his plans for naval aviation sometimes the best career fits are those we just don't see before us. So many opportunities in nursing, especially for someone of his character where despite challenges he advances forward. In his career he will be serving many, more so on a personal level. Best of luck in your pursuit and passion of the Nursing profession, excellent choice!
As a parent I just want to give Peter and his parents a hug, as a veteran I just want to salute Peter. Fighting an enemy he can't even stand face-to-face with makes him braver than most of us ever will be.
Make-A-Wish ROCKS!!! Unfortunately, we lost our 6 year old son to a brain tumor/cancer. But ... Make-A-Wish of St. Louis (Jody Hay) gave us memories that I getto carry for Christopher until I die ... There's no way we can ever thank Make-A-Wish enough ... and Peter ... keep fighting ... keep beating cancer ...
Sorry to hear that. Losing a child is something I could not even imagine. I dont know if I could even get thru it if I was faced with that situation...but remember that our time here is very short and you will spend eternity with your son and family
that was good of the american navy to have this young person on board there battall ship and show him and his family found.and all the things he got to do whilst on it .hope he still well .
My son was diagnosed with leukemia and his make a wish was with the USAF Thunderbirds at Nellis AFB, NV. I’d never seen him so happy before. Although I’m in the ARMY! 😏 they took real good care of him. Thank you Make a wish foundation and the USAF!
I am simply amazed -- Peter has been a tremendous young man who I was so lucky to have the opportunity to coach. Even before his diagnosis he had more heart that most young men I have known. During this period he has shown tremendous courage. Peter you are the best! Coach Jim
Cancer has had a devastating effect on my family, my wife died 22yrs ago from leukaemia and now myself with a different type of leukaemia. It’s great to see how make-a-wish can bring such enormous smiles to Peter and his family.
To Peter and his family hear this, if this incredible guy still has a desire to serve our country I think I have the perfect organization that could help him make that dream come true!
This is the first time I've visit this great Opportunity for a young gentleman who truly has been blessed and on this Veterans Day I want to thank those who served and the support for making this a beautiful great adventure for this family to see there two sons have the time of there lives that they will never forget. And may God be with them all.
If this doesn’t make you cry, you ain’t human. Peter, you are a brave and great young man, may you’re dreams come true and I’m 100% sure that those you were around those few days are going to remember you forever.
Peter seems like a great guy, and I hope and pray that he does that for a career! I have wanted to fly for a number of years, and I can understand his point of view. I can imagine what that wouldve been like, and I don't know how Peter could stay so tough. He is a living legend!
Man, these stories always humble you, especially seeing a young man like Peter. I just found out Salad n Go can let you donate to MAW, so every time I go I do.
What people often forget is that this kind of day is not just for the person who is ill but also for the family, because they get a good memory of the person smiling and having a blast and that can be a good aid in keeping positive after the loss and something to remember how people did that for them and their loved one.
I was glad to get the invitation to watch this video from a family friend. I am encouraged that great things will come for Peter and pray for his family's continued strength. But I am also amazed at how an uplifting event can change a persons perspective and trajectory into the future. Fair winds and following seas to you, Peter!
I love this!!! Way to go Peter!! What a great day you had. I am so thankful you are doing well. My prayers have been with you and your family. I hope you have a wonderful summer.
Thats absolutely outstanding he chose to spend his day with the armed forces over everything else he could have had that’s awesome hope he’s doing well
I hate when people bash on the military like they don't care I'm glad they pulled together for him that hit hard when he said even as a teenager death can touch me that's for real man got me off my ass I like how he wants nothing more than to fly and his mom is a rock
He's living the dream! I'm so glad the MAW foundation and Navy helped make his dream come true. I bet he'd have loved to go for a ride in that Hornet! I truly hope his dream of being a naval aviator comes true and he can grant a child's wish!
I feel this young man's fight. I'm in the final stages of beating NSCLC. I at least have lived a life. I'm 60 next year. Bravo Zulu Peter. and to you Linda
As a squadron member of VF 24 Fighting Renegades, that was on the USS Nimitz, I can tell you that it is great to see Peter got to be on an Aircraft Carrier. Although I can say that it was lonely at sea, there is nothing like seeing Peter get his wish.
That's an amazing story while I doubt he ever be a military pilot, or even a private pilot with his medical history of a seizures he always have this memory to look back on.
This really hits har damn a friend of mine that I go to school with “Jacob peterman” has cancer and right now it looks like he beat. Jacob is a beacon a beacon of hope to all kids with disease that no matter the odds you have a chance of coming out on top god bless you all 🙏
That’s a great dream for you to have man And thats all that i am really going to be saying to you guys about that much because of corse that i really really really really want you guys to know that.,!!!!
We are not guaranteed a good life or a long life. We a given life. What we choose to make if it is up to each of us. In the words of Robin Williams character Jack in the same titled movie, whe he gave the graduation speech he said "Make your life spectacular". We each have with in us the ability to make our own lives spectacular or not.
Found an update on him, he is currently a nursing student. Glad to see his is ok and going to school.
Mark8675332 so he’s still alive, you’re saying😲
@@mickfunny4185 Yes, I found recent information about him

He can fly DCS, now! Glad he's alive
@@k.s.7104 That is fantastic news,im glad to hear he is doing well.
Our military will go to great lengths to serve us Americans. Thank you for doing this for this wonderful kid! You rock, Peter!
I got Chills reading this
What a great young man. Just the fact that he wants to join the military tells me his parents did good bringing him up.
Someone joining the military is the sign of good parenting? FFS that’s a low bar.
As a parent I just want to give Peter and his parents a hug, as a veteran I just want to salute Peter. Fighting an enemy he can't even stand face-to-face with makes him braver than most of us ever will be.

That is sad beyond words. I am praying a blessing on your family right now.
Sorry about that
Hold on to those memories till the day you rejoin Christopher. May he rest in peace

I live here in vegas, about 5 miles from the base I always hear them flying!
this kid really ran a 4:57 mile even with a cancer diagnosis. Respect. My mile time is usually in the double digits..
This is one of the many reasons I am proud to be a Navy Vet. BZ to the crew of the USS Harry S. Truman for doing this.
Im not fond of the military, I have different political views, but reguardless, thank you for your service.
Its okay for a grown man to cry.
Well done USN, proud that you could help make Peter's wish come true.
I am simply amazed -- Peter has been a tremendous young man who I was so lucky to have the opportunity to coach. Even before his diagnosis he had more heart that most young men I have known. During this period he has shown tremendous courage. Peter you are the best!

God bless them all!!!

Peter is such an amazing indivudal, it's an honor to be his friend :)
You tell Peter there are a lot of people who wish they had the honor of being his friend, but for now we will pray a blessing on him
Keep on the good works..Pete ...
To Peter and his family hear this, if this incredible guy still has a desire to serve our country I think I have the perfect organization that could help him make that dream come true!

A very memorable moment in the military was walking the deck of an aircraft carrier in port CVN 74
Stay strong Peter. God is watching over you, never stop pursuing your dreams. I will be praying for you, and your family.
I love this!!! Way to go Peter!! What a great day you had. I am so thankful you are doing well. My prayers have been with you and your family. I hope you have a wonderful summer.
