An emotional and heartwarming video from 1997 has recently gone viral. The classic commercial features a young boy approaching a Marine guard, asking if he is Santa Claus.
However, the guard initially appears to ignore the boy, never making eye contact as the child gazes up at him hopefully.
Undeterred, the boy proceeds to pull out his Christmas list, hoping the guard will grant his holiday wishes.
To everyone’s surprise, the guard extends his left hand and accepts the list from the boy.
