Soldier Returns from Afganistan, Surprises Son at Churchville-Chili school
When SPC Robert Thompson, Jr. left for his first two tours overseas, his sons were too young to understand. But before Thompson, Jr. was deployed for a third time early last year, there were tears.
They knew, Thompson, Jr. said. The pain they felt went into me.
Thompson, Jr., Chinook helicopter door gunner out of Fort Drum, spent nine months in Afghanistan, much of that time in the sky. Wednesday, he showed up to his son's Churchville-Chili school, Fairbanks Road Elementary, unbeknownst to his boys.
I feel horrible leaving them like I did. It's not just me, it's them that make the sacrifice - I just really wanted to make them feel better about it and hopefully this does that, he said before he entered the classroom.
Upon seeing his dad, Robert Thompson III leapt into his dad's arms. I love you, he whispered into his dad's ear. Minutes later, Thompson's younger son, Riley, entered and sprinted towards his dad."This is the best day of my life!"the boy exclaimed. Thompson, Jr. says he will spend some time stationed in Europe soon, but adds this past deployment in Afghanistan will likely be his last.

These military homecomings are beautiful and touching. BUT I always worry that in these classes there might be a child who’s daddy will never come home from the war.

It happens a lot more often than the media shows of course. The kids who lose a member of their family face a lifetime of mixed feelings, and need the upmost support from their fellow family members, friends, community.

TERNURA TOTAL AMOR DE PADRE
I know that kid the bigger one name is Robbie and the small one is Riley. Plus that is my old school, and they were on my bus.
A Vietnam veteran couldn't even wear a uniform in civilian society without receiving criticism. These kids coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan don't know how lucky they are that American society is not treating them horribly as Vietnam and Korea vets were.

Very true. I was in Iraq from 2004-2005, not great, but did what we had to do. The most I remember was having fun with the Iraqi kids. They're mixed in the middle of a war between countries they don't understand, and don't want to be any part of. Most of them loved us, loved seeing us come through their villages, they knew when we were there they were safe....the things they had to go through were terrible. I've been extremely interested in the Vietnam war recently for some reason, its just so sad to know how those who served in Vietnam were treated upon their return, terrible isn't even close to a good description.

You never really return in one piece, you may return physically, but its the mentality that's changed. You realize once you are home that things are not the same, you feel different, think different, look different. The changes aren't always on the outside, its the mental feelings, thoughts, etc. that you will never recover from, you just learn to deal with them and try and go about your life the best you can.
How old is he ?
