A Marine father choked up while giving a salute to his son after becoming a second lieutenant and it’s giving everyone chills. The father, Master Sgt. Michael Fisher, posted the video on the video-sharing app TikTok, where it reached over 3 million views in a few days.

“I’ve watched you grow and mature and become the man that you are today,” Fisher says to his son in the video. “You have always been respectful by saying, ‘Yes, sir, no sir; yes ma’am, no ma’am.’ A salute is a sign of respect. It is a privilege to render you your first salute.”
