Marines Surprise WWII Veteran
Watch as Marines surprise this World War Two veteran.
When Marines arrived in Port Everglades for Fleet Week, the local sheriff informed them that there was a true war hero who lived nearby, and that he had a very particular problem the Marines might be able to help him with.
The man was a Marine aviator who piloted planes in World War Two and had over a hundred combat missions in the Korean War. Captain Robert “Woody” Woodbury needed help with something that may sound small, but that was very important to him. He needed the old and worn American flag he had flying in his front yard replaced.
Captain Woodbury could barely believe it when Marines from the Expeditionary Strike Group brought over a flag that had actually been flown on a US ship that very morning. After saluting the new flag he said that he was “flattered beyond comprehension” and that he was “really red, white, and blue”.
I’m British but I still find this very wholesome
Innit
Pip pip

Well Americans are pretty much Britains little brother, maybe big brother now
Hey, you should say bottle of water.
Robert “Woody” Woodbury seems amazing. Hope he is doing well.
Nice name Tho to be honest

@TheSeawolf277 just like our boy’s today whenever air support shows up
I’m so proud of our American Heros!! Semper Fi, my brothers!
Interesting how everything patriotic always has a meaning behind it. For example, the flag flown on that actual ship that he served during the Korean War.
im pretty sure it was just a ship on the exact one he was on
Amazing story, thank you for your service Woody, and the rest of you fine Marines, amazing men that deserve a thanks from the nation.
we need more people like him who value the flag.
This is the kind of respect ✊🏼 we have to show and share with every single veteran 👏🏽👏🏽🙏🙏
I’m British, and am moved to see those young Marines show levels of respect you’ll be hard pressed to not be moved by.
