Twenty-five soldiers surprise their loved ones…
I never tire of watching these videos. And I usually need a tissue by the time I’m done watching them

Thanks DCG, this put a smile on my face…
May God bless them and protect them. I have two nephews on active duty in the Navy right now. I just returned from a Women’s Retreat with my church. Two of the women attending have sons in Afhganistan now. War is not abstract. It is the blood of our nation. It is the hearts of the families left behind. It is in the broken souls who are tragically injured physicallly and emotionally. It is the empty chair for those who will never return. Thank God these families were able to experience this joy.
Sniff, sniff
It’s truly wonderful for these troops and their families. The worry and despair of loving relatives and friends for someone inharms way can be gut-wrenching.
I envy these troops one thing-the love and support of our nation.
It wasn’t quite so heartwarming when I and my fellow troops stepped off the plane from Viet Nam. We were greeted with insults and a shower of saliva.
If only we could pick our wars.
Sorry if I sound bitter and whiney. Maybe it’s because I am. It’s no fun being a veteran that everyone looks down on.
Terry,
I am ashamed for our country that you and your brothers were treated so poorly. But many now regret the mistreatment accorded Vietnam vets. I believe the very moving Vietnam Memorial in D.C. represents one small effort to redress that past.
THANK YOU for your service to America, Terry. And thanks too to your Wendy for her service. You two are so precious!
So sorry you had to experience that Terry
Thanks for your service!
Thank you, Terry.
Dude, thank you. Got similar at Kent State, hear you.
Kent State. Ouch. I can only imagine.
Terry: When and where in Nam? I was at Long Binh 69-70m 24th Evac HospItal I was soooo glad to get home. Our first child was born 6 months after I was in country. There are many of us who know what it takes to serve-that’s what made these returning troops (video) so special for me. It gives a window for people to see what the Vietnam Vet missed upon return.
We can thank George Bush for recognizing/promoting the honor with which we all served.
Dennis-Thank You for YOUR service, Sir! A vac- hospital is truly a nightmarish place to be.
I was in Pleiku ’70-’71. HHC 17 CAB. Carried a radio on my back like a bulls-eye!. Later, due to my signal corp training & secret clearance, was able to land a spot coding & de-coding radio-teletype mssgs. That got me out of the bush at least!
Thank heavens the troops are getting their just appreciation now.
Thank you for your service,Terry. We weren’t married yet but my husband served for nineteen months in the Phillipines and seven months on a carrier off Vietnam, serving four years in total from 68-72. Many of his friends served in the Army, Air Force and Coast Guard. It was a tough time. I am so glad that the military men and women and their families are getting recognition for their service now.
*sniff .. These Always leave me in tears of joy… Those little sons and daughters just bust into tears upon seeing their dad return and I am so moved… God love ‘em!
I am so proud of our troops, and am so glad that many are returning home, alive and well… God Bless them ALL and their families, as some will face more trials ahead…We should keep them in our prayers!
Good stuff.
Really.
On behalf of ALL Viet Nam vets-Thank You for your warm comments.
I didn’t mean to make it a pity-party, but sometimes when I see these welcome homes for todays troops I get down, thinking of those who sacrificed all and yet were considered war criminals by their own countrymen.
But it is true that there is a new appreciation today for those men and their deeds, as noted by Dr. Eo, with a monument in D.C. and a wall replica right here in my city, Pensacola, Fl.
I didn’t wish to detract from the joy and celebration of todays returning troops.
GOD BLESS them and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
