Showing those scars must have been very emotional for him. Those scars are all the battles he gone to, stop Asian hate and everything! It's damaging everyone!!

[landofthelivingskies]

It's people like him that make America great.

0 excuses. ASIAN HATE MUST STOP. EVERYBODY RISE UP!

He's my uncle. He acquired those scars from a brave sacrifice. An ambush took him and his platoon by surprise. He jumped into action and rescued a teammate just in time before a grenade blast would've shot flying metal to his teammate's face. Those scars were caused by the metal that pierced through his armour. Luckily he survived and I am immensely proud to be his nephew.

ALL HATE MUST STOP. it's stupid to judge someone because of their looks. its stupid to assume you're superior and others inferior.

"I'm going to show them what r... Americans of all shapes and sizes."

Was about to say "real" if you didn't catch it. But he caught him self, and THAT is the difference. He corrected him self and wasn't arrogant about it.
Rock on dude.

"Here are my battle scars. What more do I have to prove" are what Lee Wong is saying here.

[sbdr.]

Hes more American than 95% of us & definitely very patriotic. I salute you & greatly thank you for your service...

Many of us asian like my great grandfather used to serve in the U.S Army and still get discriminated for simply existing in a country you served for your whole life

[mdeb]

I love this man i respect that man and i am a dutch Morraccan citizen. I can respect this man... for his nationality but also his wisdom .

[stoodmuffinpersonal]

Good for you, man. I'm sure this wasn't easy to share. Proud of you for speaking out.

[soniaherrera]

A fellow American, and more importantly a fellow human being.

[carriesee]

If THIS doesn’t convince you, you’re hopeless. Period.

This is really moving. That said, when I saw "Ohio" the back of my mind said 'oh they're gonna try and cut him off or dismiss him' just to to pretend there's no issue.
I'm glad I was proved wrong.

[Will-leyj]

I feel for this men. He has gone through it for way too long

[TheRubinator]

I know he won't see this, , but on the very off chance he does...
Thank you so much for your service and your amazing words 🙏❤

[proudasiangirl]

As an Asian and a U.S. Army veteran myself, I am so proud of you and salute you for your patriotism!

[JoaquinLomeliJr]

He shouldn't have to show how patriotic he his to prove a point. Its insane that he has to show battle scars to prove that he is American enough. insane!
