My brothers and I welcomed our dad home a half dozen times over his 30 years in the USAF. He was in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam... These videos always bring back memories and tears.
Every single time my dad came home I’d run to him instantly and give a big hug. From 2 to 17. When I was 17 though I decided to do something more special. I took our family’s go kart and wrote a sign on the back saying welcome home and drove ahead of him and my mom(who got him from the airport) for half a mile leading up to our house. The fact I know exactly what these kids are feeling makes it impossible for me not to cry
These films get to me. I’m 60 years old and can vividly remember greeting my father each time he came home from a deployment (Vietnam era). Thanks for sharing!!!
My dad was an officer in the U.S. Navy. While growing up, he was often overseas. He missed birthdays, holidays and special occasions (like graduations). However, we never once begrudged him because we knew that he was doing this in service of our nation. Still, those homecomings were always amazing. We would show up at the Navy base and watch the aircraft carrier dock. The only time that he "surprised" us was when my younger sister was born a couple of months early (and my mom was having some complications from the birth). My dad was in the middle of a deployment; so, his ship dropped him off in Scotland. He then took a train to London and then took a flight to Virginia. It was a wonderful surprise for us. Of course, the surprise was upon coming home from school and seeing my dad.
I remember when I was one of those kids running up to my dad and hugging him when he got home from iraq and again when he came home from Afghanistan. He was a senior state department advisor that trained Iraqi border police during operation Iraqi freedom. It really hurts to not see your dad for birthdays and for holidays and not being able to just call him when you want to tell him what you did in school that day. He used to tell me stories about how he fought dragons and saved people from monsters and I never understood it until I was older, he lost many friends overseas and I'm glad I didnt lose him to that war.
As an Army wife of 17 years, I went through about 7 of these. Every time is emotional. My kids always missed him. But the Army has Daddy/Mommy dolls you can add a picture on. They also have the USO, which provides video calls, internet, and regular calls They also did a recording of him reading stories to the kids and mailed it and the book to us. Communications for families has improved dramatically. He was even able to get internet in Afghanistan, not good internet, but internet.
I grew up in a military family during the Vietnam and Cold War era and have, honestly, very few memories of my dad until I was in college. I can look back at photos and see that he wasn't always gone but I can count the actual times I remember spending with him on my hands. Hats off to all those wives, husbands and significant others that do their best to keep the family as stable as possible.
My Son got home from the middle east in dec. He lives in a different state and we havent been able to see him yet. So it has been a year this past January. We live about 2,500 miles away atm. Really miss him. Ty for your post God's Love And Blessings.
This is great, brings back lots of memories. My Dad was 20 years in the Air Force, when I was 2 he went to basic, when he went to tach school in Denver, my Mom, brother and I went to meet him. My cried when he saw our dad, he was 1, I hid behind my mom peaking around looking at him, he looked like my Dad but different. Once a brat always a brat.
I welcomed my father home from Vietnam, my brother home from the first Gulf war, and my husband home from Iraq. None of these homecomings were a surprise, but they were still pretty emotional. I am very thankful that they all came home alive and well.
Lots of these are so emotional you can help it but to smile or break down in tears. Some of my favorite home comings videos is the one where the the son was playing football (American Football) and the dad disguised himself in the opposing teams uniform and stayed like that throughout the whole game so his son could play his hardest and at the end of the game he surprised him. Than another one was where the brother surprised his sister on her wedding day.
I have probably been watching homecoming videos for 10 years, and one of my favorites actually features an officer in the RN. His daughter was part of a singing group that performed on national television, with HMTQ and her Prime Minister in the live audience. When Dad marched down the arena steps, father and daughter both forgot there was anyone else in the room.
Hey Beesley & Millie, Here's a plane accident that I think you both may find interesting. "How All Passengers Survived the Miracle on the Hudson" There was a very successful movie done about it, and Tom Hanks starred as the pilot.
They either launch themselves at them or are in such shock they have a delayed reaction. My husband was in the Air Force 20 years. These always get my heart.
My dad was an officer in the US Air Force and was in Vietnam when I was 8 & 9, I still remember when he came home on leave for a couple days, and then decorating the whole house and yard with welcome home signs and picking him up at the base air field when he came home for good. These videos always get me! You have no idea the fear a military child lives with when their parent is deployed, especially during a conflict.
I was thinking about that one with the little girl at the preschool. I wondered if it would show on this video. Seriously the cutest reaction to her daddy being home.
My 3 sons are all US Army. My youngest came home early from S Korea & surprised me at Starbucks. I made a complete fool out of myself! The ugly face cry! But people all showed their love & free coffee & scones that day! My favorite memory!❤️❤️❤️
As being on the receiving end of this, through several deployments. There is no feeling in the world hugging your kids coming back to them. Great video as always. Not tearing up, it’s just the damn dust in the air- USN Chief ( Retired)
It's not just military. I work construction. Was working in Panama for about 13 months. When I was supposed to go home to Florida. The airlines had overbooked the flight. Pilot overheard me telling them I haven't seen my kids in over a year. He took me aside. Told me to put on his jacket. Follow him. I got to set in the cockpit. I will never be able to thank him enough for getting me home to wife and kids.
These videos always hit me in the feels. I can't even fathom what these families have to give up for their parents, spouses, and children to enlist to protect our country. We are so thankful not only to every Marine, Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Coast Guardsman, and Guardian but to their families as well for sacrificing time with their loved ones for the sake of the country. We see you and we thank you!
We never get used to the tornado sirens. We just know when to panic and when not to. It depends on the kind of weather and how bad it is where you live.
I've said this in many reaction videos similar. When I saw my brother board the bus to the airport to deploy early in the Iraq war, I mentally prepared myself I'd never see him again. Kids can't do that because they aren't aware of the stakes. But it's just as elating to see them after so long being gone. I could handle losing my brother better than his kids, because they don't understand fully. So to see the kids excited shows they kinda have that lost love renewed.
For everyone who has ever had a parent in the military, your parents are heroes for their commitment to our country and keeping us safe. Your entire family made sacrifices, thank you.
That is every generation of my family since this country was founded. In WWI it was my grandfathers In WWII that was my dad and every one of my uncles on both sides of the family that were old enough to serve, In Vietnam it was my cousins, In Iraq it was both of my sons. A few of my grandchildren are talking about military careers now.
These are touching videos and you can tell you’re both touched by the reactions. Sad to say, but I cannot remember my child’s reaction when I returned from a year in Afghanistan. 🤔
My dad was stationed in Belgium for a couple of years when I was 11 and 12. Parents were divorced . He came home a day early and I dropped my cup of Coke when I jumped up to hug him. I was very surprised. After that I moved away from my mom to another state til I was 20. I saw her in the summers, but it wasn't the same. I was named after him. He was in the U.S. Air Force This was in the mid 80's. No internet or cellphones. Calling oversees was very expensive, so we couldn't talk often. Which is funny, because my older brother was in Iraq for both wars, and during the second one we talked at least once a week. He was U.S. Army.
Army Brat here, even for short deployments as soon as you hear them announce your parents battalion and they march in....finding Mama in the crowd and having to try so hard to be good and wait when all you want to do is yell, jump up and down waving madly and run is HARD. Turning around and having her suddenly back without knowing about it would be like putting your already high emotions in a blender and hitting puree.
I’m away for a second time since my daughter was born. The first time she was 3 years old. She remembers me leaving for work on a big airplane. She’s 6 now so she knows I’m gone. Counting the days now until I can hug her.
My mom did the same thing to me when I was 7 years old and I was in first grade at the time. My mom had just been to Antarctica so when she surprised me she said "did someone order a penguin from Antarctica" and she did that just after we've gotten back from our recess (play time just after lunch). She had hid in the bathroom that we had in our classroom and my sister is with her because she just picked her up from her preschool class.
As an Army brat myself both of my parents served overseas in Germany I was born there my mother had to stay in service longer because of maternity leave. I remember when she came home she kissed me out of my sleep so this hits home
These videos are wonderful and heart warning! 🇺🇸🦅😊❤️ If you've seen soldiers from your country make these types of videos, I'd love to see these too! 😊👍❤️🎖️🇨🇦
Usually when the surprise is done at school the parents and faculty have already made arrangement for the child to be released for the day and leave right away with the parent so they can immediately be together.
Hey guys, this one was a good one. It brought back memories of when I Surprised my mother, coming back from Iraq after my 3rd deployment. Yes the kids do get emotional, but honestly if you guys want to see really good reactions, then the preteens and teenagers, because I feel they understand the situation a little better. Like they know their Daddy or Mommy are not going to go play Soldier, it's real with the possibility that they might not come back.
11:38 I can relate I have 2 older sisters and a younger one I'm the only boy my dad served 20 years in the Navy as Seabee chief petty officer most of the time we lived where he was stationed except when he was in Vietnam
I left for Iraq when my son was 2 months old came home and he was 17 months old and had no clue who I was other then the guy in pictures that people called daddy. He didn't want anything to do with me for the first few days.
You guys should watch 1911 New York in color it’s so cool seeing old video of New York 100 years ago. The way people dressed and the old cars and buildings. I was born in the wrong time.
Guys, no need to add a disclaimer about liking kids...people who know you know exactly what you meant. It is a sad state of affairs when that has to be announced. Truly sad.
You are fine to say you like kids. It’s not weird, and if someone hears you saying you like kids and takes it down some twisted theory, that’s them with the disgusting mind.
Oh, and my Mom was an Army brat. She didn't know her dad had legs until she was 2, almost 3, because she had only seen his headshot photograph. 🤣🤣 That was during the Korean War.
The girls are daddy's princess so they go all emotional and crazy...but the boys are the man of the house, the are "adults" so the react as grown ups. 🤔😁
These military homecomings always get me emotional as Military Service has been my calling and I’ve already served 6 yrs without any deployments. Not to take away from the emotions, but, deployments for the US Military are part of the job and the equivalent to the civilian jobs which require you to travel.
It's gotta be so hard leaving when your child is so young that when you come back they're a toddler that don't recognize nor remember you n they get scared n run away to mom... that's heartbreaking
Some of the younger children were almost newborns when their parent deployed and are old enough to walk by the time their parent returns. My oldest son was deployed so many times that he missed out on a lot of his children's earlier years. So for some of the kids it is like who is this?
I’m always torn on how I feel about these videos. On the one hand, it’s heartwarming to watch and the kids are so happy, but on the other, I feel like it would be better in private instead of putting the kids’ intense emotions on display in public without their consent. I guess it sometimes comes off as performative and about the internet likes instead of about the kids. My dad was in the army and spent a lot of time away, and I loved it when he came home, but I think I’d be pretty embarrassed if there were videos of my reaction all over the internet. I really love the dog ones, though. 😀
This is the video of the little girl I was on about. Seriously so freaking cute I can’t 😭😍 ua-cam.com/video/pt898FhTqqA/v-deo.html
You are correct, that little girl gets me every time. I was thinking about that the entire time.
Millie, look at the UA-cam channel ComingHomeTV, there a bunch of these videos there.
First one is ua-cam.com/video/YS3bjjicqBg/v-deo.html
The ones that get me are the pet reactions to soldiers coming home.
I can't get enough of the pet reactions!
That's the power of love.

Thank you from America. Love to you and the motherland ❤ can't stop crying
This always brings tears of joy. Got to find a newer one this is over 4 years old

Well thanks for making me cry again. lol I started to well up after the first one.

I'm a sap for these. My pops was a soldier for almost 22 years and it was emotional, every home coming. ❤️❤️❤️
My Son got home from the middle east in dec. He lives in a different state and we havent been able to see him yet. So it has been a year this past January. We live about 2,500 miles away atm. Really miss him. Ty for your post God's Love And Blessings.
My dad surprised me like this at school during Desert Storm. I hadn't seen him in like a year. Still one of my best memories ever!
Our soldiers sacrifice so much for our countries ! That's unconditional respect ! And unconditional love !
If Harvard, Champion, or Adidas needed sponsors on UA-cam, yall win the contract. Much love, great reaction as usual!
Cool! My day feels complete now. 😎
😍
This is great, brings back lots of memories. My Dad was 20 years in the Air Force, when I was 2 he went to basic, when he went to tach school in Denver, my Mom, brother and I went to meet him. My cried when he saw our dad, he was 1, I hid behind my mom peaking around looking at him, he looked like my Dad but different. Once a brat always a brat.
I love these videos. I want someone to miss me that much, but I don't want to be gone long enough where it would happen.
It takes very incredible families to share their loved ones for our safety.
It was always so head being away from my family when I was gone. I loved every time I got to do this. It had the hard time better and still does.
In my 20 years in the Military homecomings were the best!
I welcomed my father home from Vietnam, my brother home from the first Gulf war, and my husband home from Iraq. None of these homecomings were a surprise, but they were still pretty emotional. I am very thankful that they all came home alive and well.
Lots of these are so emotional you can help it but to smile or break down in tears.

For the kids to find them in the least likely places is even more heartening.
You guys are one of my favorite British couples, keep up the hard work
Love you guys! Always look forward to your videos.
Hey Beesley & Millie, Here's a plane accident that I think you both may find interesting. "How All Passengers Survived the Miracle on the Hudson" There was a very successful movie done about it, and Tom Hanks starred as the pilot.
React to this.... it's a great story
YES! I love that story so much!
Makes me cry every time.....Yep......
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✌
They either launch themselves at them or are in such shock they have a delayed reaction.
My husband was in the Air Force 20 years. These always get my heart.
You're a teacher I don't,
know one that never held me when I needed it.
My dad was an officer in the US Air Force and was in Vietnam when I was 8 & 9, I still remember when he came home on leave for a couple days, and then decorating the whole house and yard with welcome home signs and picking him up at the base air field when he came home for good. These videos always get me! You have no idea the fear a military child lives with when their parent is deployed, especially during a conflict.
I spent 25 years in the U.S. Navy. There is nothing that compares to coming home to the family. Nothing!
I was thinking about that one with the little girl at the preschool. I wondered if it would show on this video. Seriously the cutest reaction to her daddy being home.
As a military veteran myself these videos always get to me
Just heartwarming. Seeing this kind of joy never gets old !
I'm blessed I never had to do that! 21 years in the Air Force.
I was a military kid and I’ve been a military spouse for 18 years. These will never cease to make me tear up. 🥹
My 3 sons are all US Army. My youngest came home early from S Korea & surprised me at Starbucks. I made a complete fool out of myself! The ugly face cry! But people all showed their love & free coffee & scones that day! My favorite memory!❤️❤️❤️
I love these and I love the Dog ones when they come home
Thank you guys for this video had me in tears reminded me of when my brother was serving in the military
I knew which one you were talking about. So cute!
As being on the receiving end of this, through several deployments. There is no feeling in the world hugging your kids coming back to them. Great video as always. Not tearing up, it’s just the damn dust in the air- USN Chief ( Retired)
I'm not crying, you're crying
...🥰 All the feels from these videos
Loved this! So special.
It's not just military. I work construction. Was working in Panama for about 13 months. When I was supposed to go home to Florida. The airlines had overbooked the flight. Pilot overheard me telling them I haven't seen my kids in over a year. He took me aside. Told me to put on his jacket. Follow him. I got to set in the cockpit.

This compilation, compared to others, was shoddily produced. There are others that are better. God bless our military and their familues 🇺🇸
These videos always hit me in the feels. I can't even fathom what these families have to give up for their parents, spouses, and children to enlist to protect our country. We are so thankful not only to every Marine, Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Coast Guardsman, and Guardian but to their families as well for sacrificing time with their loved ones for the sake of the country. We see you and we thank you!
These always make me cry😭😭
You two are amazing keep it up
I cried watching this.
We never get used to the tornado sirens. We just know when to panic and when not to. It depends on the kind of weather and how bad it is where you live.

I was very surprised.

I saw her in the summers, but it wasn't the same.
I was named after him.
He was in the U.S. Air Force
This was in the mid 80's.
No internet or cellphones.
Calling oversees was very expensive, so we couldn't talk often.
Which is funny, because my older brother was in Iraq for both wars, and during the second one we talked at least once a week.
He was U.S. Army.
All the kid's reactions are great. But for the parent, the "this is what I'm defending" emotion must be overwhelming.
They do this job for the world so nobody else in the world has to leave their children
Man remember that time I knew you guys would hit 20k... now going on 80k
Mental mate aha
The ones that get me are the (don't get me wrong, these "pull at my heartstrings as well"), but the ones where it's the mom's return home.
This wasn't the best family video of soldier return that I've seen. 😩
The doggie videos of soldier owner returns is very emotional!!! 💜
I was gone two years out of six.
We love kids too!!
Army Brat here, even for short deployments as soon as you hear them announce your parents battalion and they march in....finding Mama in the crowd and having to try so hard to be good and wait when all you want to do is yell, jump up and down waving madly and run is HARD. Turning around and having her suddenly back without knowing about it would be like putting your already high emotions in a blender and hitting puree.
You need to do a reaction video to a Southwest Pilot Brings His Dad Home. Very emotional video.
I’m away for a second time since my daughter was born. The first time she was 3 years old. She remembers me leaving for work on a big airplane. She’s 6 now so she knows I’m gone. Counting the days now until I can hug her.
I left the army for my children. Finished my last contract and stayed with my babies.
My mom did the same thing to me when I was 7 years old and I was in first grade at the time. My mom had just been to Antarctica so when she surprised me she said "did someone order a penguin from Antarctica" and she did that just after we've gotten back from our recess (play time just after lunch). She had hid in the bathroom that we had in our classroom and my sister is with her because she just picked her up from her preschool class.
As an Army brat myself both of my parents served overseas in Germany I was born there my mother had to stay in service longer because of maternity leave. I remember when she came home she kissed me out of my sleep so this hits home
These s eyes ways make me cry....😢
What touches me the most is that the children do not want to let go once they see their parent.
i was 13 when my dad was deployed over to iraq back in '05
These videos are wonderful and heart warning! 🇺🇸🦅😊❤️
If you've seen soldiers from your country make these types of videos, I'd love to see these too! 😊👍❤️🎖️🇨🇦
Usually when the surprise is done at school the parents and faculty have already made arrangement for the child to be released for the day and leave right away with the parent so they can immediately be together.
The high school kids get me everytime
Hey guys, this one was a good one. It brought back memories of when I Surprised my mother, coming back from Iraq after my 3rd deployment.

11:38 I can relate I have 2 older sisters and a younger one I'm the only boy my dad served 20 years in the Navy as Seabee chief petty officer most of the time we lived where he was stationed except when he was in Vietnam
Men can love kids. Most love them for so they are… not in a bad way. :) we understood what you were saying ☺️👍🏻
I'd say these are the ones that didn't make the cut in all of the montages we THOUGHT were going to be in this vid. Still sweet though. :)
I left for Iraq when my son was 2 months old came home and he was 17 months old and had no clue who I was other then the guy in pictures that people called daddy. He didn't want anything to do with me for the first few days.
Anyone who misinterprets you saying you “love kids” is the sick one!! Most people love kids, in the purest sense of the word!! 💚☮️
ahh yes nothing better than hugging your airman dad who just came back from spain who ate 5 star meals
You guys should watch 1911 New York in color it’s so cool seeing old video of New York 100 years ago. The way people dressed and the old cars and buildings. I was born in the wrong time.
Guys, no need to add a disclaimer about liking kids...people who know you know exactly what you meant. It is a sad state of affairs when that has to be announced. Truly sad.
You guys should watch videos of the silent drill platoon.
You are fine to say you like kids. It’s not weird, and if someone hears you saying you like kids and takes it down some twisted theory, that’s them with the disgusting mind.
You should do one where the soldiers come home to their Moms
Oh, and my Mom was an Army brat. She didn't know her dad had legs until she was 2, almost 3, because she had only seen his headshot photograph. 🤣🤣 That was during the Korean War.
The girls are daddy's princess so they go all emotional and crazy...but the boys are the man of the house, the are "adults" so the react as grown ups. 🤔😁

Not to take away from the emotions, but, deployments for the US Military are part of the job and the equivalent to the civilian jobs which require you to travel.
Dog reactions to soldiers coming home is much better than the ones with kids
It's gotta be so hard leaving when your child is so young that when you come back they're a toddler that don't recognize nor remember you n they get scared n run away to mom... that's heartbreaking
I'm not crying, you're crying
Some of the younger children were almost newborns when their parent deployed and are old enough to walk by the time their parent returns. My oldest son was deployed so many times that he missed out on a lot of his children's earlier years. So for some of the kids it is like who is this?
Wait till you have kids, it hits harder. Especially if you know someone in the military.
Thing that makes me super sad is the thought of all the daddy’s that don’t make it home
I’m always torn on how I feel about these videos. On the one hand, it’s heartwarming to watch and the kids are so happy, but on the other, I feel like it would be better in private instead of putting the kids’ intense emotions on display in public without their consent.

I really love the dog ones, though. 😀
Could you make a video of you reacting to the Super Bowl 56 Halftime show please?
