Military dad surprises children with emotional homecoming 

This made me cry so much. I'm 12 years old and I wish I could still run to my dad like that and hug him tight but he is in heaven and I miss him. I love you dad. I hope I'll see you again someday.

Real men show affection to their children no matter what.

He cant let go... He misses his dad. Im crying... 😭😭💙💙

OMG this almost took me out. You can tell by the boy's reaction that he's an awesome father. So beautiful.

This little young kid showed how much he loves and missed his dad.

aww he can't take his eyes off his dad

The boy's tear drops left on his dad's shoulder make me cry again

I wish my Dad was still here at 60+, I would still run to him.

It takes a REAL man to show love and compassion to their children.

What a sweet moment, and the way he hugs+kisses his lovely son I can tell he is such a very caring father to his kids 💖

If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, then you're not human.

The poor kids in military families miss their dads so much. It’s sad that dads have to be gone for so long at a time! So happy that little boy got to see his dad and spend a little time with his dad!

I loved even the reaction of the children giving support, having that understanding and wisdom.

Tears in my eyes. A dad is a DAD . No one can fill that place

That little boy sure missed his Daddy.

What a precious boy !! Bless his heart ❤

Tears of happiness, and the reaction of a child who if he believes in God, probably prayed for his dad to come home safe, and even if he doesn’t believe in God, an immeasurable burden of worry for his dad rolled off his back as he ran to him. I can’t imagine how his dad felt when his son ran into his arms. A child’s reaction is so genuine, and that makes this video even better!

Im in his school and his friend and thanks for ur service

I wish my dad was more affectionate like this man here. That boy is very lucky and Im sure he’s grateful for it. This was very wholesome and beautiful

Omg😭😭😭😭❤️❤️ I love this!! That little boy in the background also was tearing up!! Aww!!

i love the little run im crying

Absolutely beautiful moment 💚 but can we take a second to appreciate the fact there will be kids here looking at this who don’t have their parents in their life wishing they had the chance to do what this child did 💚

😭 oh so sweet...God Bless our Military and their familes . All are American hero's .

Wow, so much love between father & son!!! Wonderful and soooo touching!

Every boy needs a dad. A strong dad.💙

I'm a grown ass man 48 years and this had me in happy tears! There's no better feeling than being a dad, I have a 24 year old daughter and a 21 year old son and I've been married to my love/their mom for 26 years. It's a blessing to watch children grow and being in their lives. Shout out to all the dad's out there who feels the same!

A Father's love....how precious!

Very good father and son God bless

Just came to my mind ,our Godly father who is always opening wide his arms for his lost son🙏

So adorable and cute welcome home

Oh God Bring my Dad back I'd run up to him and hug him. Dad I miss u every second. May God Continue Resting your Soul in Eternal Peace until tht Glorious Morng

Nothing like the love between a father & his son! Beautiful family there!

That was so beautiful to see a son expressing his love for his father. God Bless Your Family!😎👍/🇺🇸

From their tears and sadness one can imagine the pain these children go through when a parent is in the army and has to go away .The magnitude of sadness they go through shows when they see them come home, only Our Father in Heaven will give them peace and encouragement ,I am happy for them but I also feel their pain ,they go to school day in day out but none of their teachers or their friends knows what they are going through. I there should be a group made for these children of someone talking to them.may God bless all these children of whom their parents are returning home Amen

this is what our leaders do to families. That poor boy must have missed his dad terribly, happy to see them reunited again.

No words for this precious relationship we got everything in the world except parents relation and family. May Allah give long life all tha parents amin

😥 I was so amazing to see how beautiful a boy and father reunite. I had to put it on pause (It felt like I had cut up onions). It's very important when you care and respect your children. This is wonderful

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

Gotta love a dad who is so generous with his kisses!

A boy who clearly loves his father and a father who clearly loves his son

What is more beautiful is that other children are, spontaneously, taking part in this joyous occasion. Inculcates family values. My heartfelt wishes to that family and other children. May God bless you abundantly.

It's the most beautiful moment..... I ever seen parents and their kids... Love

God bless the young man and his family love the support you give this country and your family may God bless this hero and his family

Is it normal to cry watching this kind of video?

I have watched this video so many times because the raw emotions from this young lad got to me every time. 😭😭

To see the love that this dad shows his eldest son is beautiful.!! Pure joy, pure love thank you for sharing.

Love this. My eyes are flooded with tears of joy. I can't help it.

This is soo beautiful and pure🥰🥺

I loved the kid at table with the light blue shirt and the “afro” like hair. He was so emotional and happy as well. That’s a pure heart right there too!!!

I love that he isn't afraid to run up and cry while his friends watch. At least they applauded. Also this is a true hero. We need to normalize this. People are told to "Man up" and hide their emotions. Meanwhile they are the ones missing someone and waiting on a safe return. Like people crying is a normal human emotion and people don't understand that. Men and boys are allowed to cry. (Using my perspective)

I was so moved and became choked up viewing this genuine reunion. So lovely😘

Wow that was so amazing!! Makes me tear up because of the sacrifice these families give so that we can have liberty and freedom! Thank you for your service and sacrifice!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

a very inspiring family, i can tell that his dad is such a good figure, a caring person, loves his kids/family so much and mean so much to him 💗

The first one had me into tears

it is not possible that only I cried, how beautiful

Perfect Father. Loving and patient x

I was there as well and welcome back we salute you 😃

Very touching. We won't be seeing scenes like this during the covid-19 pandemic.

Thank you for your service and fighting our country too

A beautiful reunion, father and son, it was very nice to see the video.

Touched me to tears the emotional love of father and son. Felt not only the love the son had for his father but also felt it was great relief of the responsibility of trying to be the man of the house. That weight was lifted off his shoulders and he could be a kid again. Thank you dad for coming home. God bless this family.

When ever I see this clip I could not control my tears really great salute to soldiers who stands for ok our safety really hands off to you sir

Oh it’s so emotional I swear I cried I couldn’t handle it

Wonderful, So nice to see the children all giving claps in support of their classmate 💯👍💯👍

God bless you with many with overseas fighting for a country

Instant tears, this video touches my heart so much - thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
