"Must-Watch" Video I Found

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Austin Texas Homes, LLC 453249

This is one of the most touching videos I've seen this year.  It's a montage of various members of our troops returning home and surprising their loved ones. 

Quick warning: I would highly suggest having Kleenex nearby.  I watched most of it with tears in my eyes.

Interestingly, they used the exact same music as one of my all-time favorite videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY

Enjoy!

Oh how beautiful to see the homecomings and joy of the families getting their family member returned back to them safely. It takes more than one kleenex for this video. And as many have said it brings home the sadness as well for the families that will not have this type of home coming. Sue of Robin and Sue

Everyone should watch this video. To many people run off at the mouth and have no idea what our troops are really doing and what a sacrifice they make!

I hope it is alright to re-blog this.  How beautiful and heartwarming.  This was absolutely outstanding and I thank you for posting.  I recommended for a feature as we all need to be reminded of what is really important in life.

Oh great, Jason!  I've been sick all day with a bad cold, and my nose finally stopped running for a few minutes until I watched this.  You warned me, but did I listen? Now I'm done for.  It was worth it though.

I've had a few folks post that on Facebook and I've watched it every single time.  THEN I get caught up over at YouTube looking at all of the surprise coming home videos.  Even the ones where their dogs/cats/etc welcome them home are emotional!

How could anyone watch that without a big towel? Very touching and breaks my heart for those who never got to hug their fallen heroes again.

Seeing those children virtually jump into Dad's arms was very moving.

Jason, a friend sent me this and I watched it on my phone... just before heading into a meeting.  I recommend finding time between watching this and doing anything!
