Yeah,...dogs greeting their master is cool...
Yeah,....dad showing up for Show & tell is cool,...
But this,...um, this should get the tears going:

Very touching. Wish there was a bit more background to the story, though. Mom was very understanding.

Those videos get me anyway but that will have me tearing up for awhile.

Welcome Home Blog: Surprise Military Homecoming Videos - Military homecoming videos, pictures & stories!

"When my husband left on his deployment, our 6-year-old son could not walk on his own. He has cerebral palsy. Doctors originally said that he would never walk or do much of anything. While daddy was away, he learned to walk. For his homecoming, we set it up for Michael to walk to his daddy for the first time ever! We kept the fact that he could walk a secret the whole time his dad was gone!"

Hessian, next time along with taking a breath, tell us to have the tissue box ready. That was awesome. So, many things would be missed if members did not bring them to the forum to share. Thanks!

Pretty sweet. But that lady announcer in the background is annoying as hell.

They showed this on Fox & friends yesterday and had to cut to a commercial because Gretchen Carlson lost it after seeing it.

Very heartwarming though. I well up most of the time when I see these types of videos and I'm retired military with no kids. The dog ones really get me!
