Yesterday, I posted a photo I’d come across of a U.S. Marine, Brandon Morgan, coming home to the man he loves. Brandon had shared the photo on his Facebook page and it drew mixed responses, to which he responded with:

“To everyone who has responded in a positive way. My partner and I want to say thank you. Dalan, the giant in the photo, can’t believe how many shares and likes we have gotten on this. We didn’t do this to get famous, or something like that we did this cause after 3 deployments and four years knowing each other, we finally told each other how we felt. As for the haters, let em hate… We are the happiest we have ever been and as for the whole PDA and kissing slash hugging in uniform…it was a homecoming, if the Sergeants Major, Captains, Majors, and Colonels around us didn’t care…then why do you care what these random people have to say? In summation thank you for your love and support. I received a lot of friend requests off this. I don’t just accept requests so if your request was because of this post message me and let me know. Goodnight all, and Semper Fi.”

Thank you, Brandon, not just for letting us be a part of your story, but for everything you’ve done in service of protecting our freedoms. Semper Fi, brother.
