prepared to be deeply moved by this!

It is moving. Someone needs to tell the young man, you never call a Sgt. , or any NCO for that matter, SIR.

It's a great reminder to all of us.
Back in the 1950's, Tex Ritter and perhaps others did the song: "Deck of Cards" If you can find that anywhere, it will even add to the emotion.

You got it . I hate to admit it, but its been over 50 years since I heard this version and it is still as powerful today as it was back then.

Back in the 60's, Some Basic Training Units, Had their recruits call the Sgts Sir.
I remember in 66 before we went over seas to stop the Domino's from falling, We turned over some billets to a BT unit, And had to inspect the bullets together, They kept calling me sir, drove me nuts.

For those of us who do call people SIR its a term of respect .... We dont know if you were in the military we just want to respect ;P. If we were able to see your rank somehow im sure I would definately call a retired vet sir !!!!! Either way there is nothing but Love and respect for all the current and future Vets out there !!!!

First of all, I thank those who posted the videos. this was the time, I saw the first posting and second posting with photos. They ave very emotial,
Thank You all again.
It was somewhat a joke about SGTs being called Sir. The promotion "system ???" was different for enlisted and the officiers. The term, Sir" is mark of respect. It is a mark of respect when a General comes up to the PGR Flag lines and states, Thank you, Sir.

My Dad used to literally play Tex Ritter's Deck of Cards on a 45 once a month every month. Funny the things you remember when they are gone.
