I'm still a big strong man, but this show just slays me.

That geetar playing dad, surprised while he is on stage, God bless that Matt Rogers and his producers. And the kids who didn't know their daddy was home, sent off on a treasure hunt.

I can barely stand it but I will continue to watch. That little girl with the paper chain counting down the days until mom comes back, this is why American military families are my greatest love.

Thank you.

It was never my honor to serve, and I don't have any kids over there, but this show is close to my heart.

I give up, this is good stuff and I can't stop myself from watching it in spite of what it does to me. I'm just glad I don't have any skin in that game.

I don’t think I could watch that show. I can barely stand the troop/family reunion videos on youtube. They make me feel so.....sappy! lol

A couple of weeks ago my niece’s husband was going to be home for 4 days. She knew but didn’t tell the 3 girls.

He just walked in the door like he normally would when he wasn’t deployed. The girls just said, “Hi, Dad.” and then the reality dawned on them and they all started crying and hugging him.

I've relished each time my son came home from Iraq!

Was at Ft. Drum all 3 times!

It's really a special moment.....Dad and Son.

I absolutely love this show...so touching, so sweetly done, and so heart-warming.

Kudos to Matt Rogers and Lifetime!
