Soldier Son Surprises Mom
Posted on 07/04/2007 8:36:16 PM PDT by american_ranger
This video was taken when my son, Chris, surprised his Mom by not telling us when his mid-tour leave was starting. I figured out why his kid brother was acting strange one Saturday and had the camera ready. Later I took this video when his Mom came home from work late at night and walked in to find her "baby" standing in the living room.
The next day, I was replaying the video upstairs in my office. Mom was downstairs with Chris and started complaining about the horror show Dad was watching with the volume turned way up. Chris said, "Mom, that screaming was you last night."

AR,
Many Thanks for posting this video. I can see why you are very proud of your family, as you should be.
as a PGR Ride Captain, I have seen many reunions. most of the time I am presenting a plaque to the family.
this is the first one I saw that was fun, up close and personal.
Thanks.
please thank you son for his service.

There is NOTHING like holding your 'child' in your arms when they come home from war. A mother's love!

That was a great video!
I wish that all families were the same.. and all Americans could understand the sacrifices that are made to make this (that in this case) a free country.
