  Is this that soldier returning home video?
  
  Because I will not cry for another ten minutes!  That first girl got me going and then I was a mess the rest of the time.

  I have this posted on my facebook.  As an Army wife, it really hits home.  It really is a great video, it brings happy tears!

  This video is the PRECISE reason I'd never date or marry a guy in uniform - army, navy, cop, fireman, anything - and not because I don't respect the careers, because I totally do - I just couldn't bare to be apart from him like that.
  
  I have so much respect for the army wives and families though.  God bless you guys!

  OhyWhyNot, it's basically a 10-minute compilation of soliders' homecomings, and the reunions of fathers/daughters, or husbands/wives, etc.  I can only watch it in halves.  it kills me.

  It is mostly older brothers and parents of children and their reactions to them surprising them!  Really puts a lot into perspective.
  
  My little brother is in the US Air Force and if he ever surprised me like that, I'd probably faint.

  One of my uncles was deployed for nearly two years, and he had two little boys - I wasn't there for his homecoming but I imagine it went something like the reunions in this video.
  
  And no shiit - nine months after he got home, he had a third son.

  OK, I didn't cry but because I"m at work and that would be embarrasing. Had I of been alone, yes I would have.
  
  For some reason the little boy in blue around the 5:40 mark really got to me. Damn kids hugging their soldier parents get me every time. I don't know how people do it, I couldn't handle H being gone like that. Props to anyone who can.

  Lol exactly.
  
  He actually just got out of the army a couple months ago, for good, and we had a party for him.  He gave this really touching speech where he thanked all of us for our support and "most of all, my family - my wife, and two older boys... and I suppose Luke, too, even though he wasn't around for the deployment, I guess he's a result of it!"

  HAHAHA.  Well, at least the kid will know he was "made" upon daddy's return!

  I won't lie, I'm really happy that our age difference means that Scott did his time and can't be called back into duty. I don't think I have what it takes to be a military wife. His poor mom had Scott and her husband deployed in combat at the same time. She's a tough one.
