[MrParis1972]

Bonjour lyricsma, si les papa sont obliger de quitter leur petit garçon, ou petite fille c'est malheureusement à cause de personnes comme Ben Laden (mort aujourd'hui) ou de l'ambition mégalomaniaque de fous comme Georges W Bush, quoi qu'il en soit si l'homme était intelligent, de pareil évènements ne ce produirais pas, et l'homme vivrais en paix car il y a tellement mieux à faire que de se battre et se haïr, s'aimer et se respecter par exemple mais surtout vivre en paix et en harmonie. A bientôt

[catd3g]

awww thats so sad. So glad he got to see his Dad.

[MrParis1972]

Je suis particulièrement émus et je ne trouve pas les mots pour exprimer ce que je ressent à la vue de cette vidéo, en particulier par ce qu'il y a d'autres petits garçon qui non pas eu cette chance car leur père eux ne reviendront jamais; c'est tellement émouvant et merveilleux, je souhaite que tous les papas et tous les petits garçons et petites filles qui se sont retrouver ne soit plus jamais séparer.

[lyricsma]

@MrParis1972 Exactement. Ce garçon est l'un des plus chanceux. Je suis écœurée de plus ceux qui le père n'a jamais reutrned.

[TheAR15shooter]

To the three that disliked this... I hope you find some kind of father figure you love.

[Jason2746358]

The song is "Any Other Name"- Thomas Newman

[lilma07512]

aww thats beautiful im glad god brought him home safe ,god bless our troops and thanks for everything they do

[socialmoon]

This is exactly why I can't support the war in the Middle East (or war in general) - it tears families apart. I'm sure those soldiers would much rather be at home, watching their children grow up and spending time with their spouses, rather than getting shot at.

Christ, war is such a stupid, pointless waste. Why can't we all just get along?

[TitsMcGheex2]

@socialmoon because terrorists would like nothing better than to watch the West and its ideals burn to the ground. that tearing enough families apart for ya?

[spitandfire]

here whats the music always hear but don't know what it is

[WeAllLoveTheSimpsons]

@spitandfire in the movie american beauty (=

[spitandfire]

@WeAllLoveTheSimpsons know it's name by any chance?

[chilledkirby]

What a badass.

[bprocks1245]

This made me bawl really hard because I have a cousin who was a marine a when he got deployed to afganistan I was sad and kept him in my prays everyday for him to come home safe for the rest of the family. I would email him when I could and I remeber wellin one of his emails back to me he said that he looked forward to my emails because it made his day

[gogogirl252010]

Omg I wat he'd this 20 million time I cry every time

[jgordon113]

way too cute

[39redhead]

Wow, brought a tear to my eye.

[14luvrgrl]

I'm absolutely speachless. So much love in this video. @lilshane93 I agree.

[xojonasobsessionxo]

oh my god i just balled my eyes out... that's the sweetest thing ever

[Raven4Chloe]

I find it so beautiful that they were together again....

I made me smile when the little boy said "I missed you too daddy.."

[MonkeyWaffleCookies]

this made me tearie =']

[TerraXD001]

This drained the manliness out of me..

I'm soft when it comes to these kind of stuff..

[rosesmarguerites]

i was crying to hard at this. :( cutest video ever. :,(

[Trevorthekid]

I could f*cking cry right now

[mewarmor990]

When do the feel-good stories usually come on? Is it after sports?

[XxMusclecarsxX]

I wanna be a father!!

[4EverABeyFan]

OMG it like touched my heart or something.

[Hoboscouts]

This kid will get soo much tang when he gets older when girls see this clip.

[pinkmints]

that man Gave Me Hope.

[smebffls]

It made me cry :(

[aramax1001]

I'm bawling like a baby watching this touching, caring reunion. What a special gift!!

How the dad just scoops up his son in his arms, keeping him safe, letting the kid know that he is so loved, and never letting go..... It's moments like these that make life, itself, worth living for.....

[mya11ful]

this is so nice,it even made me cry.I just love it.

[VAP89]

The slow-motion captured his emotion so perfectly. So touching!

[adnamateka01]

This mad me cry like a baby! I can only imagine waht it must be like to have someone serve overseas at war.

[DIONETO]

Very touching and emotional.

[meltedxcrayons]

This is so amazing T_T

[DareYouNotToClick1]

I burst out laughing LOLOLOL

[Emrald70]

i think people with jobs that keep them from home are selfish to have kids

bringing them into a world where they always come second

[military911search]

It is a little ironic and sad to see this, when the Iraqi children were subjected to total terrorism.

[tithi1000]

Americans are protecting the culture,the truth...they may lose many battles but they will surely win the war.they r fighting 4 truth so they wil win.....im nt an American,Im 4m India but 4m heart i support them.

[yNotSkate4ever]

@tithi1000 i like you dude

[tithi1000]

@yNotSkate4ever thanx but im not a dude,im a gal.

[yNotSkate4ever]

@tithi1000 i call every one dude. sorry =)

[tithi1000]

@yNotSkate4ever there's nothin 2 b sorry.its ok.

[squire828]

God Bless our Troops and their families. Because of them we have so much.

[Mugsi]

@squire828

War had never needed existed.

[DictatorRoB]

He is lucky his dad didn't come home in grave wrapped in American flag.

[DictatorRoB]

@DictatorRoB Coffin, not grave.

[yNotSkate4ever]

@DictatorRoB fail

[DictatorRoB]

@yNotSkate4ever Why?

[FuckingEnforcer]

What about the kids in the middle east who's father has been killed because of the war and they never get to see them again? Do they not matter just because they are children of the "enemy"?

[robp545]

@FuckingEnforcer shut up dumbass no one cares about them because they grab other peoples kids and use them for cover ... fucking hippie

[FuckingEnforcer]

@robp545

So I take it you've been in the war and seen this? No you haven't; stop being such a stereotypical close-minded American. If you don't agree fine, but don't spew bullshit.

[EnvyNG]

What song is playing in the backround? I've heard it before and it's so sad, but so happy in this clip.

God bless.

[trovo101]

great story!!

[303jayy]

I cried. That's the most beautiful suprise in the world. <3 There's a tear streaming down my cheek right now.

[darklife83]

i cried

[rss22]

Man that's so awesome.

[rattentod999]

For me the best reason to end war right now... to have hundreds of thousand of Kids being this happy:-)

[TheGontop1]

@rattentod999 i hope you meant the best by that. please consider all the happiness of the children who have a better safer life in the middle east as a result of the brave men and women in are armed forces as well.

[girschild]

i dont cry easily but dang this brought me to tears ;')

[ORbpt008]

SO HEARTWARMING THIS VID

[EErglis18]

Thats so great. (heart)

[sandy3383]

[cutegenius101]

God bless John and Bill and God bless the ones whom families haven't recieved those in the war, let the angels guide you through your difficulties God Bless all.

[ORbpt008]

[nyko1333]

No offense but, what about those little Iraqui children with no father or lost their father in Iraq because of the war?

[yewtoober18]

@nyko1333 they grow up and fight those damn infadels

[duhitsjoy]

Oh my god...

this made me cry so much

[mikecoleman16]

thats so cute i wish my dad was like that but all my dad did the day he got back was go out and drink

[sbpalmtree]

I bawlllllling and I don't cry easy I'm abused

[kevguy405]

Very very sad, i almost wanted to cry, but i stopped myself

[Woouie]

So beautiful. I think that boy should be very proud of hes father, and he is - scene shows that. This maybe is most beautiful video for me.

[leonken20]

well you guys still are lucky, atleast you've seen your dads, i never saw mine, not a picture, not a name.. :((

[olivedudex]

this made me cry x

[jazqu]

I was in Iraq for two years i know.

[philbanc26]

what the!?

[hysterictiger]

this made me cry. My brother was like a father to me when i was adopted. he was the father i never had because mine was abusive and never cared. he went to the marines when i was three. and i didn't see him again until four years ago. when he got home he got married a month later and i havent seen him in over 6 months..

[ThePsychopath101]

@hysterictiger, well said respect you and very touched by the love for your brother. I wish I have that kind of love among my brothers. I have wonderful sisters and they're my role model.

[camdude793]

at least these kids have a dad while i lost mine to drugs and alcohol.

[phoff29993]

@camdude793

I'm sorry. You obviously still have lots of pain from it. You deserved better.

[camdude793]

i know but im still getting through it. and even though i never had a dad to show me what it takes to be one, god has given me a little niece and twins(boy and girl) niece and nephew. and through them, the love that i have for them, that i am learning how to be a father. but i miss my father and i know that i will see him again at the gates of heaven. thank god, and thank you.

[missferrariqueen]

so touching... sure cry! like burst in tears cry@!

[karlrob76]

I was fighting it until "I missed you too, daddy". Then the dam broke.

I can only hope to be loved like that some day.

[ihaveashed]

Aww im literally tearing up right here, i rarely get moved to tears aswell.

[andreaaubie]

his little cries break my heart.:(

[CrescentWolf879]

this was just touching, my brother is on deployment right now and its very hard, but I cant imagine what it must have been like for that little boy up until this moment

[BethBaybiiee94]

Awh Poor little guy.. I would Cry too :')

[prueunknownsoldier]

this is the only time ive watched something that made me cry.....

[lysaght11]

[efinhigh]

[XiaoFury]

No matter how many times I watch this clip, I can never get tired of it.

[jonahthegreat707]

[SpaGirl85]

[hulk911]

[ryangr0]

his eyes looked like they are gone o.O

[blacksheba]

I just cried like a baby.

[sledmunson]

oh man im tearing up

[Tamanna19]

aww this sweet love between children and their parents is soo touching and emotional:) I feel like giving the lil boy a hug poor thing:(

[chrama1]

"It took Little John a long time to stop crying.." yeah, no crap, it took ME a long time to stop crying.

[horsesrockdaboat]

this touched my heart.

[abbien1]

im sooo about to cry

[mishxmash]

oh geez.. videos like this always get to me.. can't wait until all my battles get back.. best feeling in the world.

[nofenof]

the song is called "any other name" played by thomas newman :)

[beautybrainsbrawn]

I know this might sound off-topic but what music was playing in that vid. It's very fitting!!

[riakoneko]

I wish every man and woman could come home to their family like this...

[lilshane93]

Best surprise in the world

[Ingablah]

wow ...I just cried my eyeballs out.

Hope people may understand what miitary families go through when their loved one could die, any day.

I had to go through that twice, once for 13 months and once for 15 months. A total heartbreak.

[reyesjaen07]

Hey, I have never supported this or any other wars. I had to move lots of times from place to place as a kid with my parents while growing up in Nicaragua during a war. However, I feel happy for that kid. Just like those Iraqui children, he has the right to be loved, to be happy and to feel safe. This kid and millions of Iraqui kids have nothing to do with the corrupt choices reflected in wars. God bless that little boy and God bless the children of our world.

[elfontherun]

Ah such a pointless war to fight and die for :( I can understand WW1, I can understand WW11 and I can even understand Vietnam, but Iraq/Iran? It's a religious war that we shouldn't be a part of :(( Oh I hope Obama can step up and do some good for this country after the mess Bush has left it in.

[paintballfrenzy9]

You know what...just because you didnt like him doesnt mean that you can bash on him like that, he was our commander in chief for eight years, show some respect!

[snoboard4yahweh]

i wish i could give my daddy a hug like that. i miss him a lot too. i know how that boy feels. ive known it my whole life.

[utajet34]

har8p

you are a sick person for saying that about our troops who are leaving all their loved ones back home so you can be free. You can't call yourself an American!

[sammienoel13]

ur so fckn rude. thts a horrible thing to say! this lil boy is happy to see his dad after 7 months of not seeing him n ur gonna go say something like this?! FUCK YOU DUDE!

[summerain20]

Why do people feel that it is ok to spew hatred on internet? Its not right. Just because no one can confront u does not mean that u have the right to say such hurtful things. Even if u don't believe in war effort, believe in the love u saw in that little boys eyes. God Bless you.

[camero1273]

i aint affending u but they dont go for tht long its again the ARAR army rules and regulations he wont be gon for tht long

[ApolloTheMare]

my sister left yesterdya na dhses not coming back for 4 years..

[triathlon4ever]

Im so sorry god bless you

[2012ReconMarine]

No way.. San jose... RIP I live there too im sorry

[Tamanna19]

I am sorry sorry to hear that Jgalo17. He did something courageous that very few can do! God bless his soul!

[princesso8788]

jgalo your family and brother gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedome. For those of you who feel the need to bash soldiers. It is them who make sure you have the right to show your ass.

Private Jayden G. Mora a true american hero we owe you our undying respect. To the Mora Family I say thank you for giving up your son so that the rest of us can live in freedome.
