[zoodman0007]

THANK YOU TO ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN. GOD BLESS THE USA. THANX FOR KEEPING ME SAFE. THANK YOU

[UnholyMalice]

Thanks TallSky for filming the Reagan and all the other ships. My brother is currently on the Reagan as I type this, and as they are on deployment right now, I can not wait until we have the chance to see it come home like this again. I miss my brother.

[TallSky]

@UnholyMalice You're welcome - I'm looking forward to filming their homecoming too. Must be cool to have a brother on there.

[UnholyMalice]

@TallSky It's cool because it's such an awesome ship, but it sucks at the same time because he's gone for such a long time.

[crunham]

Fun deployment. It was my first so it felt like forever. What a great homecoming though.

USA babe

[persilbran]

a very impressive ship, having the men stand on the edge of the flight deck nicely emphasises how big they are. By the way at about 1.36 it appearsto pass another carrier. Anyone know which one that would be?

[TallSky]

@persilbran That other ship is the USS Nimitz CVN-68, which is the first in it's class. There are ten of them (Nimitz class). I've filmed six of the Nimitz-class carriers here at the San Diego bay at one time or another.

Thanks for commenting!

[persilbran]

@TallSky

and thank you for the answer to my question

[smacman68]

I done this many times on CVN-71 and in Norfolk. A great feeling to be home after 6-7 months at sea. Makes me nostalgic!

[CharlieDoan]

SUPPORT OUR TROOP

GOD BLESS AMERICA

AS A VIETNAMESE REFUGEE, THANK YOU AMERICA FOR FREEDOM AND HUMARITY

[usnhutch06]

i remember coming home on this deployment...i was standing on the flight deck and my father was standing behind me it was the most amazing feeling in the world!! My dad passed away just 4 days after this so this was ana amazing experience for me...

[TallSky]

@usnhutch06 I'm sorry, yet it is a blessing that you had this time with him.So very meaningful an experience and so kind of you to share the memory. Thank you

[Reallyyoudontknowwhy]

i remember this deployment, many ups and lots of downs, It was too long, but i got to run into my sweethearts arms on the pier!

[TallSky]

@Reallyyoudontknowwhy - those are poetic words - thanks for the comment, and for your service - all the best to you and yours ~ this video is for you.

[schicktd]

Go NAVAIR.....

[beerformycow]

thats my boat! HELL YEA RR

[xxxXander1981xxx]

Thats a magnificent video. I really like aircraft carriers. Their strike power is enormous. They are beauty and the best in one. It's a impressive picture to see the USS Ronald Reagon entering the Port of san diego. I think the man and women on board do a great job. It must be really hard to stay away from home for such a long distance of time. I tbhink americans can be proud of their carrier fleet and the man and women who serve on it. Best wishes from germany very nice video.

Greetings from Germany to all men and women on CVN 76 - USS Ronald Reagan! He was the GREATEST president of the United States. He teared down the Berlin wall and brought freedom to Europe. We will never forget him!

[lander4545]

The U.S.S Ronald Reagan.........Named after one of the greatest presidents the United States has ever known! We miss you sir!

[Dariotartigro]

what title this song?????????????????

[TallSky]

I think it is called "4th of July"...it is one of the youtube listed music choices. The original song was muted - forced offline by youtube's copyright software.

[kuylock]

[TallSky]

[naynay923]

Thank you so much for posting this! It made me emotional! My boyfriend was one of the sailors coming home on that ship, but with me being in Texas I wasn't able to be there! It isn't the same seeing it on youtube, but it definitely helps! I'm so very proud of my Navy man!

[TallSky]

thank you - it means a lot to me that my video work is meaningful to you all.

[hulia84]

That was such an amazing day!!! Even for the sailor that got stuck with duty that day and couldn't get off to see their families.

[usslasalle]

I was one of the original plank owner of that ship. she's a good ship...

[Gkruchell]

love you E.H.R.S.

[mattcapron]

I was on the Reagan as we pulled in. I was a Tiger. It was an AWESOME experience! If you ever get the chance take it. The air shows that they do are UNBELIEVABLE. Also, you really can feel the emotion and pride as you pull into port. Much respect and thanks to those who sacrafice so much to serve us.

[batchesm]

Thanks for another great video. I was on the ship for the Tiger Cruise which was without a doubt an experience of a lifetime. As we came into port, you could actually feel the excitement from the sailors - and believe me -noone had dry eyes when the family tents first came into view. So I missed this view -it's awesome - great film work.

[TallSky]

batchesm,

thanks for your comment. It's always great and interesting to hear from those onboard. Tiger Cruise must be fantastic. Happy New Year

[MindSetTV]

Welcome Home Matt!!!

[MikeMullay]

Welcome home Robin, and Happy Holidays. I can only imagine how glad your mom and Dad are to see you. Go Navy!!!

[myspacethirdbase]

Our Daughter came home and we were on the pier to greet her! Words cannot describe the Awe we were in as that ship so graciously pulled in! Thank you to all who serve!

[trinapaul]

Welcome home, baby girl!

[navymom104]

Thank you for sharing that awe-inspiring video. I have a nephew on board and was unable to make the homecoming. Welcome home and Happy holidays!

[Auggie56]

Another great video Jim. Thanks for letting everyone see these wonderful guys at wok.

[House123456789q]

I'm a mom in Ohio and was going to be a Tiger until a car accident changed the plans. My son is on his first deployment here and I wanted to thank you for this, it's lovely (through mom's tears

[Daisymae01]

Welcome home and may you all have a blessed Thanksgiving and Holiday Season!! God bless you and yours throughout all the days of your lives. Thank you for serving our country.

[sreevesmi]

Thank you! My brother and cousin both returned home this week from the Reagan. I live in Michigan so I wasn't able to see it but I've been looking all over for any video for the last couple days. I'm a Navy brat myself and miss being on the pier to see the ships go out and come back safely. Thanks again for posting this!
