Soldier Makes 5-Hr Drive To Get Salute From Grandfather Who Couldn’t Attend Ceremony.

Receiving a salute for the first time after becoming a commissioned officer in the army is a pretty special moment, which is why this grandson was willing to go out of his way to get the honor from his grandfather! Unfortunately, the proud grandpa was unable to be present at the actual ceremony. So, the newly commissioned lieutenant decided to drive five hours to the elderly man’s home! His grandfather couldn’t have been more delighted to give the devoted soldier his very first salute.

“After the formalities are over, nothing beats a big hug from grandpa,” one user wrote.
