A beautiful kid with big joy. She looks like her dad.

It should be illegal how hard Im crying. These babies did an amazing job.. But that baby breaking down... I lost it 💓😭😭😭

This is a great reunion. Also, this is the way the National Anthem SHOULD be sung. Job well done kids. Staff Sgt. Clayton thank you for serving.

Dang! The only other thing they could have done to make me cry besides showing a soldier/child reunion is have a kid's choir sing the National Anthem! That was cool!

Ok, that got tears running down my face. Cute kid and an awesome Dad.

Me too man…

Few things in this world are as beautiful as a little girl's love for her daddy. She's not old enough to truly understand how blessed she is. (Well, she may be now. The video is seven years old as I write this.)

Those children did an excellent job singing that song it brings tear to my eyes seeing dad and daughter running to each other may god bless and keep you soldier and little cassidy

All of the worry, the doubts, concerns, prayers, all the missed events, missed birthdays and celebrations; are all washed away with the tears of relief and love and joy. The lost time can never be replaced but the future time is valued more than ever, because they know the cost absence.

As a veteran myself, i love these moments. Service families sacrifice so much and its a difficult life. Welcome home sir. Enjoy your family

Kids sang that very well :-) Bravo. And two hundred and forty-seven people need their heads (hearts?) examined. Never enough of these, thanks for sharing.

Thank you Sir for your service ! 🇺🇸 👍👍 God Bless you an your Family !

I absolutely love the respect given to your service men. Respect from the UK

Thank you Sir fir your service!

These videos are always the BEST! Its definitely heartwarming to see kids reunited with their military serving parents after being deployed! If I'm having a bad day I can always depend on them to cheer me up! Cheers from Delmar, Delaware

Very. Touching!! May. God. Bless. You. Both!!

Thank you for your service to this amazing country.

A proud Dad & a very happy reunion for both.❤ Also, "Thank You" sir for serving our country.😊👌👍

thank you for your service sir. i salute you.

Heartwarming. Thank you for your service. Blessings. ❤❤❤

These are beautiful stories and great memories for those involved. Today we respect and covet our men and women in the military. That being said, I am old enough to remember how the Viet nam vets were treated on their return to the USA. They were spit on and called baby killers. Ironically many of these men were drafted and never volunteered to fight in a war half way around the world in a country that many Americans couldn't find on a map. Make sure when you see a Viet nam vet, thank them for their service because many have never been thanked.

Father’s love❤

I enjoy watching these along with the videos of the uso shows,especially the Vietnam ones. My brother served and came home,only through much prayer from our Mom. Alot of men came home broken, missing body parts etc. This is in Remembrance of you and for all you did, Thank you

So blessed to have people who want to serve our country😍❤💙& I'm thankful for people who are still in war right now protecting our country

The things we do for our country or men or women and our children we all pay a price for freedom. And it’s worth it when you see what’s going on around the world

That's so sweet..

havingfun1968, Thank you so much. Her dad and I divorced 7 years ago but we have a very good co-parenting relationship. His new wife and their children were there for this moment as well as my new husband and our children. It's an amazing things when divorced families can put the past in the past and focus on the best interest of the children. Semper Fi to you as well!

never get tired of these, never!

That elementary school did a better job at the national anthem than most professional singers. I'd like to have ballparks everywhere in the US start bringing in elementary schools for the anthem.

Her Dad is Proud of his Daughter.

I CRYING REALLY BADLY

Wow! To have a dad like that! I got a hug once from my dad when I was emotionally distraught and I hugged him. So yeah, I guess that doesn't really count then if I hugged him, does it? People who have good dads, please don't take that for granted!! Dads are SOOO important!

Love it and it makes me cry because I miss my grandfather that was in the army and world war 2

Yet again, someone’s cutting onions over here.

Beautiful.. love watching these reunions Too bad they don't all get to stay home. Some must go back..I pray for them all

The Anthem is known is one of the most difficult songs to sing, just due to the range, they did an amazing job.

Great Video..loved it..thanks for sharing

My older brother David's return from Iraq back in '91 was just as emotional. His return from his next 4 deployments over the course of 25 years was just like his first. Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for our National Anthem; gentlemen, please remove your caps. My brother fought for our National Anthem. I will not kneel, I will ALWAYS stand.

solider away family

I love this stuff. Plus the kids sounded GREAT! Congrats to their teacher.

Het is geweldig om te zien

this was a very nice video. glad to see this man has returned home safe to his family. Way too much negativity involved in bickering between right and left in this country...for me, I just like to focus on making sure that all our brave men and women in uniform come home safe and sound. The best place for American soldiers to be, is at home, with their wives and husbands, sons and daughters, moms and dads, brothers and sisters. Safe with the people who love them. I would hope all Americans of all political persuasions can agree on that.

Welcome home soldier ❤

Best national anthem ever

Amazing ❤️

Lots of pride in these kids actions singing their National anthem 😢

The Womans soccer team need to watch these kids

Beautiful version

Wonderful

Welcome Home, Brother

THIS WAS ME GROWING UP MEETING UP WITH MY DADDY EACH TIME WE MET UP WITH HIM.
