Troops returning home/suprise returns!
 

This video is touching to me, having had family serve in the past and currently and many of my good friends serving this video made me tear up a little. I am always appreciative of our troops!

Holy shit! I can only make it thru 3 minutes of that. Hard to watch.


I have something in my eye...

I know it man!

Wow.

I watched the whole thing and kept wiping my eyes.

wonderful sights.
thank you,
sec

My cat is exactly like that every time I come home from work.

My cat shits on the floor while I'm gone and runs out the front door when I come home.

Thanks for posting that.

You son of a bitch.

I got dust in my eye like 30 seconds in. I hate you.

Oh, you guys are assholes.

Making me cry this early in the morning. Now I can't stop.

God Damnit.

That video just had to start off with the little girl! It was dusty in my office about 20 seconds in for me

Nothing so great as to see the looks on the kids faces as the realize mom/dad was finally home.

They put the most dramatic girl in the opening to kick shit off with a bang. Then it's all waterworks from there once they've squeezed the first one outa yeah.

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.

USA USA USA USA

God bless the USA & our kick ass mililitary force.

Those of you who have served or are currently serving, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Yup. The first little girl got me more than anyone else.

I'm not even going to try and watch this again. I remember coming home from deployments and the emotions.

Here's a new one....

My son goes off to the Marines in August. This stuff always gets me. I never joined the military,and now that he is going, he'll be the one doing the homecoming.

Not the usual video....

I saw that the other day.

Dogs rule.

These are so much better than the typical annoying children ones. Thanks for posting.

That's great stuff. I think that would be how my boxers would act if I went away for awhile.

And Saul, annoying children? You heartless bastard!

Came home from deployment in '93. My parents paid to have my fiance flown down to meet the ship unbeknownst to me. Hell of a feeling.

Married 17 years now.

Can't imagine how those kids feel, though.

Thank you for your service, Sir!

I watched this with every intention of NOT shedding a tear. I didn't make it very far. My 6 yr old caught me. He said," Are you crying?" I had to fib to him :(

Good stuff.

Her and the lil girl sitting on Santa's lap.

These seem to be getting more elaborate, but this one was pretty cool.
