My Dad spent alot of time away with the army when I was a kid. It was never easy, he'd leave every two or three years and be gone for 6 to 9 months. It all seems like a blur now but watching this video, I see alot of myself in that 10 year old boy, and remember the joy when you see them again after such a long time. I love my Dad, but do resent him a bit for being away for so much of my childhood, but Duty calls...i guess
fuck george bush this guy needs to die like sadam hussein he killed innocent people of iraq and afeganistain.oHHHH sorry i forgot the american soldiers!!!
during and after the war we got fathers without their sons and sons without their fathers.And just for oil .... thank you mr George motherfucker Bush
and why don't you let your son go to the war ?!?!?! sorry about my english its realy bad because i am 15 old and brazilian !!!
Anyone who dislikes does not have a good father-son/daughter relationship.......its not about the government or anything like that its the fact his father has ben away for 7 months at the age of what 4 or 5.
it ain't easy for them to come back to iraq as they risked their lives they might even die and never come back. We must really be happy with what we have right now. We have parents that are always with us. But the kids' fathers who risked their lives, may not come back. I also felt sad for them. Cause they are young. Be happy for what we have right now. :)
@OleDJin Oh please. Youre sitting here talking about corruption of the u.s govt? Your govt poisons its own candidates. Ukraine is extremely corrupt jsut like Russia. Im not even from the U.S but your first comment was the most ignorant thing i have read on youtube for such a wonderfully happy video.
@flute1234 you just do not like the truth. U.S. authorities are deceiving the American people. said that the army protects civilians. yesterday in Libya, for example, from U.S. and NATO bombing killed 19 civilians. I think the American people do not even told about it. and then these killers will return home, and you will again look cute videos ...
6 people are just crying for attention. It's because of me and my brothers and sisters in arms that they even have the ability to push that button. If we weren't here, they wouldn't even finish the mouse click before they would be dead.
@specCd You are a sick and messed up person... How could you possibly say that about the people defending YOUR freedom. That was totally uncalled for...
@SarahBolton15 I am interested in the psychology of American soldiers. The murderer, who in his own house goes good husband and father. Whether he has the memories of his victims....slaying innocent children, when he holds his baby in his arms
My tears just don't stop. So many kids that need there parents, and so many young men and woman out there! Some come home and some don't. God Bless all our troops and there families!!!
I think that person who says "Dad should have died" should go to Afghanistan/Iraq. They would cry for their mommy because the Afghans would shoot them simply because they are American or a citizen. You talk crap but I know you can't back it up. And the soldiers wouldn't come for you simply because you don't like us. Why don't you research about life over there before talking smack.
don't even bother replying to ihatedemsallz everyone, he favorited a video called trolling techniques, so he's obviously just trying to get a reaction. Don't give him what he wants. Great video by the way, so touching and wonderful. God bless the troops!

@ihatedemsallz you shoud die in hell u fuckin cruel bitch, how woud u feel if u just saw ur kid after over 8 years, sumone shoud teach u a lesson u mutha fucka pieca shit
After seeing something like this, I don't know how people can protest the soldiers, this just shows what they and their families go through. I've watched this many times, and I can't help but cry every time.
@SoldierToBeAROTC Yes that's a great scene. Now think about the young children in Iraq or Afghanistan that lost their dads because of an AC-130 bomber. One click on a screen by an American soldier destroys families like this one every day. And you ask me how I can not protest the European and US-American soldiers down there?
I remember this day. Poor boy! OOOORahh Dad! This one hit American hard. See how all of us are affected from this. I hope your boy and you are well. God HAS blessed America.
Weither you agree with the war or not, you HAVE to give it up and honor all those who put their lives at risk so all of us here at home can have our freedom. Sometimes I just wish that I could shake the hand and thank every one of our men and women who serve this country. If not for them, we couldn't be able to enjoy the freedoms we have, regardless if you think the war is needed or not. This video makes me cry. I'm a guy. I love it when I see a dad or mom reunited with their kids after serving.
this is why war is so terrible, splits fathers away from sons and daughters, so sad but happy ending for this family, but remember not all families get this surprise.
end the war, theres nothing to gain except worry for the brave men and womens family
this video is so emotionally powerful i was crying at like 30 secs into the video, 25 year male tear jerking half way through the vid, very emotionally powerful video, love it,
Fuck what the leftwing European tv tells people about americans, all the americans i ever met have been nothing but friendly, helpful and very open...
I am honored to be a member of an allied nation...!
every thing has to be left or right with people tell that to the brave men and women dying in any war. right isn't right they started this war. and left is the other side of right. so Kudo to allllll the brave people in our wars
Sroom222....this soldier never asked to be sent out there to fight a wrong war.His son is so happy to see Daddy again and jerks like you write shit like you do. What have YOU done for your country or are you just a pathetic asshole who gets off on this stuff?

A child gets in an argument with another:
"I'll never play with you again for as long as I live! I hate you!"
Later on, you see the two children playing together and sharing their toys.
You know why?
Because in the eyes of the innocent children, happiness is more important than pride.
