Love that program! My SIL is a career Marine with a number of deployments over the years. Each reunion, whether large or small, is such an emotional time. Grateful for his service, but more grateful for the time he is able to spend at home with family.

I love those happy reunions. It reminds me of a prank I pulled on my family. I went off to boot camp and then hospital corp school. I was there so long after I graduated waiting on my assignment papers to come in for my nest school. When I finally got them, I was packed up and out of Great Lakes, Il. heading home via plane to Pittsburg, Pa. I just made it to the greyhound bus terminal with 15 minutes to spare, before catching the greyhound to Cumberland, MD and still not calling home, I got a taxi the last 20 miles. I dropped my seabag in the front yard and knocked on the front door. Needless to say the commotion from within was enormous when I ID'd myself. I was home for one week before heading to San Francisco.

yuppers...one just did not do the job..

Thanks for sharing, it is always wonderful to see things like this. Makes the day a lot better. :thumbup:

Wonderful! God bless all those soldiers out there!!!!!

Thanks so much for sharing. It was so heartwarming. 8-)

wow. whoa, yes, tissue, that little boy when he started saying daddy daddy, just reduced me to putty.. So priceless, Thank you for sharing. :)

You are right! I should have gotten the tissue before watching the video. I think scenes like this are played out almost everyday as troops come home.

Beautiful homecoming! Praying they'll all be coming home safe, sound and soon!

At least these are happy tears.
