“You made my day! Thank you for your service and congratulations on your love. This is what we’ve been fighting for,” one commenter wrote[.]
“I am glad that you are safe at home and with the person you love. Thank you for your service to this great country of ours. Be happy and stay safe,” wrote another[.]
But not all responses were as supportive. One commenter called the photo ”a damn shame,” and another posted simply “yuck.”
Brandon Morgan, upon finding out about his sudden Internet fame, released the following statement via his Facebook page:
“To everyone who has responded in a positive way, my partner and I want to say thank you. … 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. … To quote Kat Williams, everyone needs haters, so let them hate.» | Monday, February 27, 2012
