Any other source? I can't get the darn thing to load.
Wow, how awesome!
Wouldn't work for me in Firefox, I had to use Internet Explorer.
It took awhile to load, must be real busy! But well worth the wait!
Damn...where's the hankies...my then 3-year old had a similar reaction to my arrival home from my deployment.
Thanks Bahbah. I saw that promoted at 9:00 and then switched to C-SPAN.
I don't want to thread jump but for those who say that families don't make sacrifices just don't understand.
Thanks --- I may have to wait until my husband gets home. I don't know nuthin' 'bout computers.
OMG!!! Tears streaming down my cheeks right now.
Wonderful. Thank goodness he's home safe with his family.
Thanks for posting this. :)
bump for later viewing
me and the misses woke to the video this mornin'. We hugged and bawled ..It was a glimpse of heaven
I have that problem too, but this is worth the wait. Stop for kleenex on the way home! LOL. It is very, very moving.
Man, if that don't get ya in the heart, nothing will !

Like some of the others have said here, I became weepy just reading the headline. I didn't have to see the video, but that reduced me to a pathetic state....
I think the thing that occurs to me is that from the little guy's perspective, the man in the uniform is and always will be the most important man in the world to him. That is an incredible and beautiful thing that God in His mercy allows us to participate in. Fatherhood (like military service) is way undervalued. This video shows the importance of both.
Ping the "Lizards" for a beautiful video!
What's this salty discharge coming out of my eyes?
stated excellently too by you.....God bless us all and those fighting illness as well.
A friend of mine did that after his tour. His kids got home from school and he was sitting in the living room.
The look of joy on their faces had to be worth being gone for 6 months.
Awesome! Thanks for posting this.
A nice story, but I wonder what the hidden agenda is in terms of the MSM. Could the message be, "Bring the boys home NOW from Iraq and unite them with their families." It is all about the children.
