I started crying at the 30 second mark. I really thought this video was sweet.

The whole vid was pretty cool, but that first kid, watching the emotions on her face was amazing. Just incredible. :cry1:

Dammit Dan... :cry1::cry1::cry1::cry1::cry1::cry1::cry1:

Especially the mother @ 4:45 with 2 kids.....

[Scott Card]

Great video Dan! That little boy at 5:35 was the one that got me as well as the girl playing volleyball. Reminds me of my own kids.

You know, I am supposed to be suing people, being a jerk, generally wreaking havoc on society and you go and post this... Thanks!!:2thumbs:

Sniff.....sniff.....sniff
:cry1::cry1::cry1:

Great video - I'm glad I watched the whole thing.

Wow. That's incredible. The thing that gets me is they ALL have the same reaction. They don't say anything they just grab the person and hold on.

I was kind of disappointed in the boys' reactions compared to the girls. I was sad a little after watching this video because I was left thinking that none of these boys cared as much as the girls about their Daddy coming home and so my fear was that my time with my little boy was limited.

Then I watched this video today with the sound, and I realized that although the boys weren't as visible in their dramatic reactions, they did care just as much:

I am guessing that before they went to war, the dads had a talk with their sons about being the "man of the house", being brave and strong, and helping mom and sisters. I think sons would try to be like dads and be tough. But deep down, the love and emotion is still there. My little boy who is 8 would have reacted the same way I would imagine. He trys to be strong but still has a tender heart.

Interesting point. I hadn't thought of that.

I lasted til about 1:20....the first ones were all girls...I don't have any daughters...just a son. After that one...didn't matter, boy or girl it kept coming.

Great vid!
