When one Marine received a promotion, his little child was not going to watch from the sidelines. <\/p>\n

One YouTube video from November 2016 has gone viral and won over hearts with an appealing conversation between a father and his little son.<\/p>\n

When the Marine advanced in rank and a ceremony was organized to celebrate, his young son joined in on the fun and made the moment even more memorable for his happy father. <\/p>\n

In the video, a group of Marines were in formation and their commander was reading a proclamation to them as they entered their new chapter. <\/p>\n

As the superior continued to outline the new responsibilities he would be taking on going forward, one of the guys marched to the front of the formation in front of him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

His commander read aloud, \u2018As a Marine sergeant, you must set the example for others to follow. You are in charge of the safety, <\/p>\n

professional growth, and general wellbeing of the Marines under your command in addition to completing the objective that has been set to you.<\/p>\n

\u2018You will embody our institutional core values of honor, courage, and commitment,\u2019he concluded. You will <\/p>\n

obey the directives of your senior leaders, enforce all rules and articles, and command your marines with firmness, justice, and dignity.<\/p>\n

The Marine maintained his composure and stock-still posture as the superior read out the message. <\/p>\n

After it was ended, though, a special visitor arrived, and the Marine’s cold demeanor gave way to affection. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Marine was shown ready to switch out the lapel pins to signify his promotion in the following scene. <\/p>\n

But for this wonderful father, it would be his own lovely 3-year-old kid who would do the honor.<\/p>\n

The young child approaches his father with a smile on his face and the sweetest head of blond curls. <\/p>\n

He shouted \u2018Good afternoon, gentlemen\u2019 when he got to the men in the front, which couldn’t help but make his father laugh a little. <\/p>\n

The Marine then moves to his left lapel and bends low to allow the young child to change the pins on his right lapel. <\/p>\n

While the boy changed the pins, his father was able to maintain his cool. However, once the child was finished and they had hugged, <\/p>\n

the marine broke out in smiles and laughs as he stood up. Then, moving back into the rear of the group, he appeared to be the proudest parent alive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With over 27 million views since the cute video was released in 2016, it has become a great sensation! <\/p>\n

It is obvious that the small youngster has won over hearts all across the world in addition to his father’s.<\/p>\n

Allowing this child to do the pinning gave me goosebumps and brought tears on my eyes. This is one of the coolest things I have ever witnessed. <\/p>\n

I appreciate allowing this kid to have such a significant role to play. This is VERY personal, another user commented, while another added a comment. <\/p>\n

How much US service members care about and respect their country is demonstrated by allowing a child to perform the promotion. Good show, folks.<\/p>\n
