Outstanding display of character and being a positive role model.
“Never Leave a Young Man Behind” - A marine who gallantly dropped back in a race to help a nine-year-old boy finish has become an internet sensation.
Lance Corporal Myles Kerr was competing in the annual run while home on leave in Charlevoix, Michigan when he spotted Boden Fuchs struggling to keep up.
The boy reportedly asked 19-year-old Kerr: ‘Sir, will you please run with me?’, after losing the group he was running with.
Atta-boy Marine!
Thanks for posting this. It’s nice to read a good story for a change.

Talk about mentorship, that will stay with that kid for the rest of his life.
Nice work by the young Marine. I agree with Moose-Knuckle, that lad will remember LCpl Kerr for a long time.
Nice! As said above it’s nice to report some good news for a change. Hats off to this Marine.
Great… a Marine and in MI double bonus…
Agreed. It’ll work the other way too. Kerr will never forget that boy.

Many people will never understand that these displays of character are actual common throughout the military.
In a similar vein, one heck of a kid, one compassionate Marine.
