I like the way the father immediately protected the daughter’s privacy as soon as he realized how overwhelmed she felt! 👌🏾🌟❤️

To all the soldiers, past, present and future: Thank you for your service.

The way she cries is so heart warming

I wish mine ain't gone forever,I wish he can just come back and say,my Baby I'm back,,but it's never gonna happen...Rip Dad...miss u😭😭😭

When he looked at flowers to present her n didn't manage to express it. Sacrifice is beautiful expression of love.

He’s not my dad and I cried like a baby watching this. God bless your family. And, dad, thank you for your service. ❤️🇺🇸

I am in my 60s...and these videos always remind me when my dad( US marine) came back from Vietnam in the late 60s...a military kid is always a military kid.

The unexpected arrival of soldiers back home symbolizes the triumph of resilience and determination.

She just woke up she wasn't ready for that surprise ! Surprised not surprised but happy to be reunited to her dad and then came the tears of cry by realizing that is not a dream but true reality by getting herself hugged , held by her dad !

That is a daddies girl for sure. So sweet. I lived seperate from my wife and kids for about a year while we got on our feet and sometimes we went a month without seeing each other and it was such an amazing feeling just gettng together after that little bit of time. They always ran up to me and sometimes happy tears. I couldnt imagine that long. Thank you for your service..you and that little girl of yours.

Its not only these soldiers who make the sacrifice for America, its also their families who have to go without their husbands, fathers, brothers, sons, wives, mothers, sisters and daughters. I Thank All of these families for their diligence and sacrifice as well as their Dear Soldiers!! I Salute You! 👍😁😁😁

When you see these children fall apart when the parent returns, it shows how much they missed them.

Thank you Martin for serving our country the U.S.A.

God bless this man. He was gone for 3 years fighting terror. What a sacrafice this man made. A true combat veteran.

A father’s love is forever no matter how far away

Rips your heart out just watching. Our children shouldn't have to suffer this. Way to go soldier, Thank you for you service. God bless

These stories really fill me up.

The tears also demonstrate how traumatised the children are....a wife may not like the scenario but the kiddies simply don’t understand!!

God bless you. UK Veteran

These videos always get to me as I was in School just started Year 7 which was High School (I'm in the UK). Anyway my Mum was in hospital with Cancer & I remember the Teacher coming to get me, they told me that there was someone to see me, I was so excited as I thought it was my Mum. Walking into that room seeing my Dad, a couple of Teachers, the School Nurse & my Mums Nurse I knew straight away, my Dad asked me to come sit with him but I just shook my head I wanted to run away from that room thinking if I didn't hear it then it wouldn't be true. Eventually I sat down & he told me that she had died then I was taken to get my stuff I remember my friend seeing my face & grabbing everything for me then she hugged me & I was taken to the Hospital to say goodbye to my Mum it was the hardest thing I ever went through & I've had a lot of sh*t in my life but that day is ingrained in my memory 💔. I miss my Mum every day it has been almost 22 years now she will always be my hero, best friend & Guardian Angel, I know she is watching over us now I just wish I could give her a hug 💛.

Simply Priceless

Aw sweet hearts ♥️

Terrific video! (Great-grandmothers are certainly young looking today!)

Nice let them all come home they have families. Love and feellings

i never get tired of these! good job

“I was overwhelmed.. i got really nervous “ true dads love 👊

Not gonna lie, if I was him, I would be tearing like hell when first see my daughter

50yr old British Army veteran and that broke me, She is such a cutie and man 6 Months from my daughter every other year was bad enough I really do feel for US Service personnel and their families, year long separation and this one 3 years! Wow..

Aww may she and her family always stay together So sweet 👧

Like Sandie below I'm 61 and saw my dad leave and come back alive from 2 tours in Vietnam. He was gone for 18 months at a time. Also a year in Okanawa. He lived to be 82. When your dad is a 1st Sgt and was a drill instructor there is no such thing as a "service brat" in our family. We were truly blessed and my mom was a super mom rearing 3 kids almost by herself.

One of the things that I was not expecting returning home was just how emotional I would get seeing everyone again after a long deployment, you'd think only they would be crying and overjoyed and relieved. Boy was I wrong I was crying just as hard and there was no dial or button to shut it off.

WOW, ANOTHER GOOD & NICE VIDEO! Thanks. John P.

Su niña esta encantada de tener a su papa y disfrutar en su compañia ..no es de extrañar es su niña mimada y ella lo quiere mucho ..

Nothing better when you're in the military than coming home to loved ones!

B. Talbot . It warms my heart and adds to my faith in God to see the happiness of a reunited family.
