Staff Sgt. Clayton Walker had been deployed in Italy for the past 11 months. It’s his fifth deployment. The Atlanta Braves played a special message from Walker on the Jumbotron before his daughter, Cassidy, and her classmates sang the National Anthem. But the surprises weren't over yet.

This is a great reunion. Also, this is the way the National Anthem SHOULD be sung. Job well done kids. Staff Sgt. Clayton thank you for serving.

Few things in this world are as beautiful as a little girl's love for her daddy. She's not old enough to truly understand how blessed she is. (Well, she may be now. The video is seven years old as I write this.)

These are beautiful stories and great memories for those involved. Today we respect and covet our men and women in the military. That being said, I am old enough to remember how the Viet nam vets were treated on their return to the USA. They were spit on and called baby killers. Ironically many of these men were drafted and never volunteered to fight in a war half way around the world in a country that many Americans couldn't find on a map. Make sure when you see a Viet nam vet, thank them for their service because many have never been thanked.

@tnrodgers Жыл бұрын

All of the worry, the doubts, concerns, prayers, all the missed events, missed birthdays and celebrations; are all washed away with the tears of relief and love and joy. The lost time can never be replaced but the future time is valued more than ever, because they know the cost absence.

this was a very nice video. glad to see this man has returned home safe to his family. Way too much negativity involved in bickering between right and left in this country...for me, I just like to focus on making sure that all our brave men and women in uniform come home safe and sound. The best place for American soldiers to be, is at home, with their wives and husbands, sons and daughters, moms and dads, brothers and sisters. Safe with the people who love them. I would hope all Americans of all political persuasions can agree on that.

YOUR TRANSPARENT AND BEAUTIFUL HEART OF GREAT DEPTH FOR YOUR COUNTRY IN SERVING SO MANY DEPLOYMENTS IS BEYOND COMPREHENSION. YOUR ENDLESS DEEPEST LOVE FOR YOUR DAUGHTER IS SO BEAUTIFUL BEYOND COMPARE. I COME FROM A LONG HISTORY OF MILITARY, MY PARFENTS IN WWII, MY HUSBAND AN LTC RETIRED AFTER 28 YEARS OF SERVICE, HIS DAD BEFORE HIM THE SAME RANK, MY BROTHER IN THE GUARDS, MY COUSIN IN THE MARINES, AND MY UNCLE THAT PAID THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE IN WW11, ETC., SO I UNDERSTAND THE SACRIFICE~~AS MUCH AS I WAS A PART OF, AS A WIFE AND DAUGHTER, THE LIFE OF A MILITARY PERSON. YOU ARE SUCH AN AMAZING EXAMPLE OF WHAT EVERY MAN, EVERY DAD, EVERY MILITARY PERSON, EVERY HUMAN BEING SHOULD SHOWCASE. I APPLAUD YOU FOR YOUR CHARACTER AS I FELT YOUR HEART (I AM A DEEP EMPATH) AND YOUR LOVE AS YOU HELD YOUR DAUGHTER SO TIGHT. SHE IS SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOU.
