Here’s the story from the “Seal of Honor” Facebook page:

Wow ... great story. The boy has clearly gone ‘way beyond where he thought his limits were. “Forever memories” for both of them.

On a lighter note, the Marine could be saying to the youngster,
"You are a puke. You are the lowest form of life on earth. You are not even a human being! You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian sh!t! Because I am hard you will not like me, but the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard, but I am fair. And my orders are to weed out all midgets who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you understand that maggot? " ** [/;D **

What was that daffy? Is the Marine stepping in front of the LEO for a particular reason?
