@Regan, I would add Elaine Donnerly to your list of people who have never served in the military that I hope goes apoplectic over these scenes, which will become more and more common.

Yes, my error. How could I make that mistake? I do know – quite well – that the boys serving at Pendleton are Marines.

Thx for posting this. These always get me good. I won’t watch the vid till I’m out if this restaurant. I’m already lump in throat.

Oh and, I hope such displays and LOTS of media attention about them, gives Brian Brown and Peter LaBarbera apoplexy.

I really do.
They are two men, who NEVER served in uniform to protect their own rights and protections, have always had the gall and cowardice to begrudge gay people who HAVE done so, any respect for THEIR risk and sacrifice.

Our world needs to ALWAYS see more displays of such affection, love and devotion. It’s much better than the horrific news and scenes of violence we know happens in our nation’s streets.
There was a time when soldiers were barred from marrying.
It was illegal and anyone who supported marriage for them, were jailed or killed.
That is the legacy of St. Valentine too.

So any anti gay people offended by this picture, or the idea of gays serving openly or being welcomed with love like this….
Can just take a flying **** at the moon.

I just LOVE marriage proposals, and I LOVE weddings!
I wish these two men all the best and thank Gurrero for his service!

Yeah, seconding that, Marine Corps Air Facility Camp Pendleton is a USMC helicopter base, not Air Force. (USAF vet here, btw, but I also lived not too far from there for five years.)

According to Huffington, this happened at Camp Pendleton which is located near Oceanside, CA, approximately 40 miles north of San Diego. It is not an Air Force Base, but there is a Marine Air Station located there.
