This was awesome! Part of the surprise is to celebrate the homecoming of a hero. All our soldiers are heros and deserve this type of a homecoming. I respect the store that did this for the soldier and his mom. Good job!
I know this young man and he is a wonderful son and a very proud soldier. His Mom is a wonderful mother that devoted her life to raising her children right s
I'm sitting here crying watching this! Thank your son for his service! As a Marine Mom - I can feel what it must have felt like to see your son walk into your arms!! God bless!!
i am an Aussie and just want to say thank you to your brave guys in that dusty craphole and their families . I hope they all return safe and sound to their loved ones . Good on ya mate !
to all serving soldiers and their families ur always in our hearts! god bless you and i wish you all the happiness in the world. they are remebered and they are hero's, simply we cannot thank these men and women enough! we must unite together and be strong only then can we stop terrorism!!
And I was so proud of Nate and ecstatic that he could surprise his Mom like this. And I was greatful that he was able to come home to her and his brother and sister. We are so proud of you Nate and the time you served selflessly over there God Bless sweetheart. And God Bless the many men and women that are waiting for the day that they too can have their reunion with their families. I come from a military family, I've had a family member serve in every war since WWII some didn't come home
wow he is like totaly gorgous=) I loved how he was able to surprise his mom like that. and that was pretty cool that her manager let her go home and told her not to come back for a week!
I worked for this company at the time this happened - I remember they posted something about this on the Intranet and it really was nice to see what the store team did for the family
i promised myself i wasn't gonna cry ... but im a complete mess lol god bless your son and family and thank you for serving your country to make it a better place to live :''')
@MrDerby2u Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks so much for what you do! My husband was disabled in Afghanistan after two previous tours in Iraq. It was very hard on both of us, and our families, but we'd both do it over again. Don't let the lazy dumbfucks get to you. They're nowhere near the caliber that you are, and they never will be. Sadly, you're fighting for his/her freedom and the welfare that they most likely fraudulently acquired. God bless you!
@amariluna My husband had to go to Iraq twice, and he said the people there...not the soldiers...but the regular old people....truly appreciated us. He said they thanked the soldiers all the time because they were living in fear. Their dictator paid the soldiers well enough to just do his bidding and the people had no power. The people there invited soldiers over for dinners almost every night and brought them food and gifts, and the children always hung out and played with the soldiers.
Look people, it doesnt matter what the reason it is for us to go over there. These videos are made not to take about the government, but to show support to those who are able to come home and see there families. We dont like being over there, but duty calls us too. If you dont like it, keep it to yourselves. Congratulations on coming home safely soldier. SPC Olsen
@danlo1974 I really appreciate that both as an American, and as a wife of a soldier who was disabled overseas after driving over a buried road-side bomb. My husband became permanently disabled at only 24 years old and will never be who he once was. Most people don't thank the "little people" you know? They just hate all of us because they disagree with the wars, when they don't realize that most of us completely disagree with the wars ourselves.
@UNCRatDog I am really sorry for you husband.people on here make me so mad with their comments about our troops .They have no clue what a military family goes though and what they give up .These people risk their lives for people they don't know. And I am grateful for that. I thank your husband for his service and I thank all of the Mrs. and kids for "holding on".and the rest of their family.I can not even begin to know what you went tho day after day the worry you go tho.so thanks
"Boss's buisness goes bankrupt due to kicking everyone home" "Government doesn't provide buisness with enough support" "Mom no longer has anywhere to work"
@kiwitedferny Several men in my husband's unit (there were no women because he was an infantry unit), had bachelor's degrees, and a couple had master's degrees. They literally just wanted to serve their country. One guy, who is now one of our best friends is actually a doctor, but wanted to serve his country!! They tried to get him to be a doctor in the Army where he also would have obviously been an officer, but he told them no. He wanted to start from the bottom and be an enlisted soldier!
@dynastyballer13 My husband is super white but he came back from overseas very tanned. Think about it, they are in the desert in Iraq, and in Afghanistan they're in the mountains but they don't have trees like we do here. Afghanistan is a really high altitude and they're all out in the sun all day every day.
@goodlife404 Thank you very much. Yeah, after truths were uncovered most military members and their families changed their viewpoints on many things that we were doing, but of course, they still completed their mission. It's very sad that soldiers, like my husband, were permanently disabled, or killed, fighting for a cause that could have been in vain. Add insult to injury by those ignorant people like amariluna blaming the individual and entire country instead of corrupt government. officials.
@DaDiema We have people that say those things here too. It doesn't matter what country you're from, there's always going to be shitty people with no heart. Don't let people get you down when you're doing the right thing. Their opinions don't matter anyway.
@Xzamilloh Wrong, i am black and my hair looks like that right now and always does when its that short. It depends on how curly your hair is. I am lighter skinned like he is and my hair does not curl right away.
@amariluna You would maybe be surprised to find that almost all Americans hate the war in Iraq and do NOT agree with it. As a military wife, I can tell you that AT LEAST 80% of the people that were at our base totally opposed the wars but we're still obligated to do as our commander-in-chief says. We all realized that we were lied to years ago about what really happened and so most people have changed their viewpoints. Please don't judge a whole nation.
White mom, Black son. Adoption maybe, if so she is a more beautiful woman then anyone could imagine to take a child not hers and raise him to be a soldier. Thanks Ma'am
@erdftzgh really? they gave me a lesson i deserve? actually all the Iraqis that i talked to were friendly towards us and even brought us food when we stayed at their police station. i actually have a few of my interpreters as friends on facebook. every time my platoon and i went there they were excited to see us because we would teach them first aid, how to properly exercise, and some even said that they wanted to come to America and work. you obviously have no clue what you are talking about.
also ich kann es sehr gut nachvollziehen was unserer Militär durchmacht ... immer mehr schwierige Missionen ... Kosovo Afghanisthan etc.... und das bei immer weniger GWDL'n war selbst 1 Jahr bei den Sanis und ich hab somit schon einen guten Einblick bekommen, wie es dort aussieht ... Um den Frieden zu bewahren hat das Militär meine unterstützung
@eiomer really? not every soldier goes over there and kill any one. i went there and i never fired a single round. why? because the people there appreciated the fact that we were there helping them out when they needed some one to stand up for them. they were more than happy to bring us food (that was not poisoned or anything).
to all of you with only hate in your heart it men women like theese. who allow you to say things that are HATEFUL . to my brother and sister in uniform keep up the good work
@amariluna our mission is to do our job and come home to our families. just like every other big issue in the news theres never gonna be a set answer or reason to do things the right way. the war were in is always gonna be controversial only thing that can be done is support all of us goin overseas to simply do our job.
I'm a foreigner, so perhaps I shouldn't comment - but.....why is it in all these clips of soldiers coming home, that the families are always working class? When am I gonna see a Congressman or Senators kid pulling a TOD? Are there any Bush or Chaney or Rumsfeld kids or Grandkids serving in combat zones? Screw 'em. Good on you guy's that went, and I hope you all get back to your family soon.
What great coworkers and a great boss..... awesome surprise! Welcome back soldier!
it's these kind of videos that show me how precious family is and how hard our troops fight for our freedom
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!
That is one awesome employer: "You're going home. We don't want to see you for at least a week" That's great.
Great video I loved them God bless this mama who has a son oversea but look like a single parent who done and did a great job. Take a bow Mama
This was awesome! Part of the surprise is to celebrate the homecoming of a hero. All our soldiers are heros and deserve this type of a homecoming. I respect the store that did this for the soldier and his mom. Good job!
I watch these videos and I shed a tear for the joy of these families, and I shed a tear for all the families that won't get a reunion in this life.
I know this young man and he is a wonderful son and a very proud soldier. His Mom is a wonderful mother that devoted her life to raising her children right s
This is absolutely adorable! And the way the whole work area gathered together as a family made it even better.
That was beautiful . Dude a mom's love have no comparison . God bless our troops
I'm sitting here crying watching this! Thank your son for his service!
As a Marine Mom - I can feel what it must have felt like to see your son walk into your arms!!
God bless!!
Aww the look on her face when she saw him...priceless. That is wonderful!
That was so beautiful. Now, that really made me cry Glad he is home hope he gets to stay for good.
i am an Aussie and just want to say thank you to your brave guys in that dusty craphole and their families . I hope they all return safe and sound to their loved ones . Good on ya mate !
to all serving soldiers and their families ur always in our hearts! god bless you and i wish you all the happiness in the world. they are remebered and they are hero's, simply we cannot thank these men and women enough!
we must unite together and be strong only then can we stop terrorism!!
she got great colleagues and a great boss!
and a great son ofcourse, so sweet
thanks to all soldiers that try to protect our country
And I was so proud of Nate and ecstatic that he could surprise his Mom like this. And I was greatful that he was able to come home to her and his brother and sister. We are so proud of you Nate and the time you served selflessly over there God Bless sweetheart. And God Bless the many men and women that are waiting for the day that they too can have their reunion with their families.

wow he is like totaly gorgous=) I loved how he was able to surprise his mom like that. and that was pretty cool that her manager let her go home and told her not to come back for a week!
this is so sweet. reminds me 0f my mom
I can't wait to see my hubby in May, giving the surprise to my Son.
how awsome was that.... definately made me tear up... welcome home soldier :'')
I think the most touching part of this is the boss saying "I don't wanna see you back here, for at least a week!" That was amazing!
I worked for this company at the time this happened - I remember they posted something about this on the Intranet and it really was nice to see what the store team did for the family
very touching! these videos get me everytime!
that made me cry......its touching
Mom gets the day off and the week off without even asking, what a BOSS, "unbelievable."
that was so awesome! Just the best!
I've watched this video many times and I still bawl everytime i watch it!
(jjaayypp's wife) WELCOME HOME SOLDIER!!!!! Thank you for all you done for us. God Bless you and your family.
That was a good one! Welcome home even though it was a while ago.
thats cute that brought tears to my eyes

what a nice boss to give her some time off. It's nice to see people think about things other than themselves and money.
Thanks mate
What a good son!
our mission is to do our job and come home to our families
That was such a nice surprise.
@MrDerby2u Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks so much for what you do! My husband was disabled in Afghanistan after two previous tours in Iraq.

Prop to the trooper. Props to the Boss for letting Mother go home.
Thank you Mom, Thank you soldiers.
Wow, I wanna work at her job! That was so nice of them! :D
Wooow what a nice boss. Wish they were all like that!
@amariluna My husband had to go to Iraq twice, and he said the people there...not the soldiers...but the regular old people....truly appreciated us.

Im not into the war and stuff so this is fantastic to see .
Boss
Is
Cool......
Welcome home....thanks for the upload
Although I don't really agree with the war in the Middle East, these dudes are still heroes and are just doing their jobs. I love these videos.
Look people, it doesnt matter what the reason it is for us to go over there.

To the 12 people who disliked this video I dare you to go up to this soldier or his mom and say you disliked this happy reunion.
@UNCRatDog Thank you well said.The sacrifices families make..Thank you
he's so cute
Mom- "I gotta work."
Boss- "You're going home! I don't want to see ya for at least a week."
What a great boss.
"Boss's buisness goes bankrupt due to kicking everyone home"
"Government doesn't provide buisness with enough support"
"Mom no longer has anywhere to work"
Couldn't agree more.
if u dont stand behind us feel free to stand in front of us
Welcome home.

he is reeeally cute!
Yay!
dese videos keep makinq me cry..lol
hahaha the manager said "you take care of that kid" that was fun :D
@kiwitedferny Several men in my husband's unit (there were no women because he was an infantry unit), had bachelor's degrees, and a couple had master's degrees. They literally just wanted to serve their country. One guy, who is now one of our best friends is actually a doctor, but wanted to serve his country!! They tried to get him to be a doctor in the Army where he also would have obviously been an officer, but he told them no. He wanted to start from the bottom and be an enlisted soldier!
@dynastyballer13 My husband is super white but he came back from overseas very tanned. Think about it, they are in the desert in Iraq, and in Afghanistan they're in the mountains but they don't have trees like we do here. Afghanistan is a really high altitude and they're all out in the sun all day every day.
amen brother
lord have mercy he is finneeeee lol and his mother, omg the cutest, i cried
that a hell of good boss
We need WAY more bosses like that
That boss was nice!
Can we hire the band for our next party? So cool...the thought
@goodlife404 Thank you very much. Yeah, after truths were uncovered most military members and their families changed their viewpoints on many things that we were doing, but of course, they still completed their mission.

Hi, my name is EG Marshall-I'm the greatest boss ever.
@DaDiema We have people that say those things here too. It doesn't matter what country you're from, there's always going to be shitty people with no heart. Don't let people get you down when you're doing the right thing. Their opinions don't matter anyway.
now that was sad shit got a tear ere :(
@amariluna If you dont stand behind our troops, PLEASE stand in front of them!

that is fuckin awesome
haha, their goes E. G. Marshal, I worked with that dude years ago.
@FredrikCLK You don't see THAT in the work place often.....without H.R. looking up the manual first
@erdftzgh really? they gave me a lesson i deserve? actually all the Iraqis that i talked to were friendly towards us and even brought us food when we stayed at their police station. i actually have a few of my interpreters as friends on facebook. every time my platoon and i went there they were excited to see us because we would teach them first aid, how to properly exercise, and some even said that they wanted to come to America and work. you obviously have no clue what you are talking about.

im glad he suprised is mother but lord have mercy that sound is annoying
to all of you with only hate in your heart it men women like theese. who allow you to say things that are HATEFUL .
to my brother and sister in uniform keep up the good work
@amariluna our mission is to do our job and come home to our families.
just like every other big issue in the news theres never gonna be a set answer or reason to do things the right way. the war were in is always gonna be controversial only thing that can be done is support all of us goin overseas to simply do our job.

Screw 'em. Good on you guy's that went, and I hope you all get back to your family soon.
Americans DO support our troops, our flesh and blood; don't let anyone LIE to you and say they don't!
Give a hand to that boss!!!! He let her take some time off to be with her son:).
woah this looks like kroger in south lyon
is this in Pittsburgh by the way?
