@theClintdog The 5 people who disliked have no clue what families go through during separation periods. I know from personal experience what it's like.
ugh I always cry to these videos=**( I love the way the mom or dad surprises their loved ones. when they come home. I have lots of friends that are in the Navy and one of my friends husband was away for 5 months in training/school to move up a class and while he was gone his youngest boy rarely smiled(he is 15 months old now) but as soon as his dad came home that little boy and his brothers had the biggest grins on their faces. and that little boy when ever asked if daddy was home he would SMILE
@navairdavea6 Box of tissues? I needed a roll of paper towels. I served a total of 8 1/2 years active plus 4 in the reserves. My longest time away from home was 30 months not seeing family. I know what the service personnel and family going through. God Bless both military and their families.
I came across this video today and of course as a Soldier myself I know the sacrifice that the family puts into this.... I thank you for your service and I thank the Mrs. and kids for "holding on". This song also was a blessing for today... like always not a moment to soon or to late... God Bless you all!
I'm not one to tear up easy. but there is something about a soldier coming home to see his/her family just gets to me!. God bless are soldiers may they be safe and all have a chance to come home safe.
God bless this soldier and his family,, the ones who have come home and the ones still over,, And when you read this, please take a moment of silence to yourself, and maybe each day to remember the ones taken from us and say a prayer for their families.. Thank you, you brave men and woman. thank you
this video is so touching! sad at that! my husband is in the army and he is leaving 4 afganistein in june and its gunna b so hard 4 tha both of us and our son! ;( gotta thank our soldiers 4 being brave n strong 4 what they do!!! =) i must say im a proud army wife 2 a strong brave soldier! love the song and the video! made me cry! im gunna have 2 go through it but im a strong army wife and i kno my husband will b save n sound!
As I have watched this a few times, I've seen now that the song is EXACTLY right for the video and I was wrong in my earlier post. I like it more each time I watch it..
On a critical note, the singing overpowers the video. Would loved to be able to hear the speaking better. However, LOVED the video. Great job!!! And welcome home!!
I agree with you however the sound system kept cutting in and out at the school. It wouldn't have mattered so in putting the song in meant to me seeing was more precious then hearing. Thanks for the encouragement and welcome home.
God bless the men and women who serve and keep them safe. Much kudos to you guys but most of all much kudos to the families that are left behind without a father or mother or sister or brother... Must be hard to raise a family on your own while your spouse is serving...
This was beautiful and of course I'm crying now! I love the way he holds them for a long time... its just precious. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful moment with the rest of us.
18 months and finally be able to hug dad again. This is what it's all about people, our childen! They are victims of war just as much as anything else. God Bless.
i hope ur right but this kinds of videos really makes me cry and get all emotional its really touching and u can understand how the soldier or marines r feeling after a yr long of absense and the reason y i said that is cause my gf just broke up with me
This wonderful video is a sobering reminder of how Coalition troops give up any semblance of a normal family life and put themselves in harms way almost daily in order to preserve the freedom we all cherish.
Welcome home!! Thank you for all you and your family do. God bless you and your family. My husband serves in the Army and back from a 15 month tour in Iraq.
It sucks... I got home from Iraq in January. For me personally, the hardest part of being deployed was being away from my wife and kid, soon to be kids. ;)
I have no idea why I'm watching this is making me cry.
