No doubt, it's like man I have 8 minutes more!

That one at 5:30 was basically my Mom when I got back from the desert.

Why.....WHY did I try to watch it again? The little girl on Santa's lap at 1:30....God help me.

made it through exactly 21 seconds before i felt the choke. I'm outa here. Gonna go work on my MMA training

LOL, the little boy at 5:34 affected my eyes a little bit too!

The girl in the beginning, the little girl saying she missed her dad, the mom hugging her two children... powerful stuff.

I posted this on my facebook wall once. The first little girl was just a classic moment. You could see every emotion cross her face.

I cry like a sniffling 2 year old whenever I which this video. I've now seen it like 3 different times. Great stuff.

Nice vid. Thanks for sharing.

Coming home from the desert, or any deployment, to my wife and kids was the best feeling ever. And yes, I cried like a baby leaving and coming home.

my son was able to call his mother Sunday morning from somewhere in the middle east to tell her happy mothers day. she was walking on air. i didn't even get to talk to him, and i cried like a baby.
sec

Its weird how emotions work. How something that makes you so happy you cry, an emotion associated with sadness.

I'm going to Florida next month to pick up my son for the summer. I havent seen him since Christmas. I know I'm gonna sob like a little girl with skinned knees when I see him.

That first girl and the little girl on Santa's lap are so awesome.

There is a show on Sunday nights that have these and more that my family watches called Coming Home. They set up coming home scenarios for the troop to surprise their love ones on a big scale. Never a dry eye watching these.

Here is a snippet from the first show that is actually football related.

I know a lot of you have seen it numerous times, but my friend is being deployed soon, and I just want to keep the troops and what they do for us always in peoples minds.
