You know what real love is? It's a teenage boy crying in front of his fellow football players because his father shows up to surprise him. This is what family is all about.

***** truth b told
I was born and raised on a military base (Ft.Campbell). I ALWAYS was excited to see my father come home safe. I normally knew when he was scheduled home, It being a surprise would drive me wild. I can relate to the joy felt at seeing a loved one home and well.
Dad sure loves his son, awesome.
how in the world do people dislike this
Only real men aren't afraid to cry.
Oh to see a tough football player cry like that is so touching and heartwarming! what a lovely thing to see! :)
There is nothing that can make me cry more than seeing grown men balling. My eyes are leaking!
You can almost hear the other players saying " I ain't can crying - there's grass in my eyes-sniff". Welcome home soldier .
Damnit tears, quit falling from my eyes.
I could literally watch these videos for hours. never get tired of these videos.
holy hell, that made me cry...
My good sir you have served are country and made us proud but what you just did is probably the best thing you can do for your son thank you for making us proud
aww bless that boy's heart.
I am a 230lb 5'7 Senior defensive lineman and I am sitting here bawling like a baby...
I've been split with my wife for 5 months after a nightmare of a marriage... but she took our toddler son to the boonies and I've only seen him twice, for an hour each, in 5 months. The last time was over a month ago. The custody battle is vicious and taking forever. I miss him sooo soooo much. I just find myself watching endless strings of videos like this. I'm a 6'3", 240 lb man reduced to a bumbling mess of emotions.

thats sad. dont know how far the 'boonies' are for you but its very important you establish a set visitation time as often as you can (keep a record) for the courts to see you are serious about bonding with your son. also keep a record of the times the mother refused you visitation & reasons. an hour seems ridiculous esp. if you have to travel so i would try to extend that. it may be hard but you have to 'olay nice' with the mother in the meantime to gain more access. also i hope you're paying child support & by check (records) dont give up. kids do need a good father.

He probably was thinking about his pops during the whole game, nice!!!
So happy he came at sons football game to surprise son
Awesome and Many Thanks to everyone who is protecting Our Country God Bless America! !!
It's crazy to see the love that they have for each other. I've never seen that kind of love between father and son..
I keep watching videos like this of soldiers coming home and I keep making my self cry!! They are so awesome but I'm like touchering my self!!

It wasn't even just this kid that had this happen. The kid beside him also had someone come from the military. Aww this is way too heartwarming and happy. My brother is in the Navy and he has been gone for a few months and I cant wait to see him. Because its moments like these that help people see that humanity isn't all bad and evil.
This is awesome. i watch troop homecoming videos a lot, even if they do make me cry, lol. But, did anyone else notice that this appeared to be 2 reunions? The man & teen standing next to each also appeared to be having one. Always nice to see such heart felt homecomings. And Rest in Peace to those who don't get to return home. And thanks to all of them for their service!

This is a great video. The kid's reaction is priceless. I don't know how kids like him hold it together when his Dad is gone so long, and, is in harm's way. Living in a military community, I admire these families. They go through a lot that we do not see. It also makes me appreciate my own father that much more. Thanks to the Dad for his service, and, to the other team for helping him surprise his son in the most incredible way. God Bless them both.
no matter how brute an athlete u could b, nothing can stop the tears like seeing your military dad or family after a long time.
This is a beautiful moment between father and son. Respect it, and be grateful to those who let us see a private moment between father and son. You do not need to be rude or condescending or hateful.

Most people don't realize the sacrifices made by military families. It's not just the service member that we owe a huge amount of gratitude, but the wives who raise the kids and run the household solo, and the kids spend a great part of their lives growing up with a parent at sea, deployed, etc. This kids emotions speak volumes. Thanks to those who serve, and to their families for both supporting them and allowing them to do so.

A man crying is more emotional.
Justin's reaction to seeing his dad indicates a number of things, his father was present and involved in his son's life, his father truly loves his son and raised him right and taught him what it means to be a man, and it also indicates that Justin will probably be a great father to his own kids when he has them.
