Most Emotional Soldiers Coming Home Compilation of 2023 !

[@julieenslow5915]

The husband who came home from Afganistan to be with his wife on the anniversary of the loss of their little girl (literally - she didn't look old enough for school yet), totally melted me from the inside out. That's a couple who will last.

I'm now 43, and have several friends who remember their years being taught by Mum, which is truly beautiful to hear. The impact a good teacher can have will last an entire lifetime.

I was unloading a truck at the store I worked at when my cousin came home from Iraq to surprise us. I was told there was someone here to see me and I stepped through the door of the stock room to see him. I could only say his name, surprised, and hug him. We grew up like brothers, and it is still a vivid memory for me that makes me smile every time I think about it. This was years ago, and he's out of the service now and running his own business, but I still remember that day, and I don't take for granted any chance I get to see him.

[@garyolson43]

I'm a Navy vet from the 70's. I believe most people will thank a vet or a current military member for their service. But, we all need to be more appropriative of the family of current members. They sacrifice so much and never really knowing their loved one will come home. Things can change so fast in the military so their worry is constant and daily. I thank the families as much as the current members. THANK YOU.!!!!

There's the man that catches his wife out of the air without any move , no step back, forward or up, he just stands there to receive boarders! Then there is the man who is walking forward, takes one step back then proceeds forward with a woman I assume he knows! And it doesn't matter who the returning person is - their loved ones pile on, or just take hold and proceed to give a 3 second hug x all the days apart - all at one time. (It takes a while.)

As the mother of two boys who serve in the USMC, this brought tears to my eyes. My eldest son served during the Operation Iraqi freedom. I worried everyday and everyday I'd pray that he would make it him home safe, and after a year he finally came home. A changed man but, safe. Unfortunately some of his buddies didn't come home. My younger boy was stationed in Guam last year when the typhoon hit the island. For days I didn't know if he was okay. If anyone or the ship they sailed in on was okay because that's where they stayed to wait out the storm. A week post typhoon, I finally received a call from him and thankfully he and everyone onboard was okay. Ship suffered minor damages but everyone was safe. Knowing your children are safe is the best news for a parent(s)

We knew what was happening. Those who wait can only watch the door and pray that today is not that day. On Veterans and Memorial day be sure to honor those who wait. In so many ways theirs it the greater sacrifice.

When people say war only affects those on the frontlines, they forget about those on a different front. Their loved ones back home have to go through something almost if not as bad as they have to go through. The psychological torment of knowing that your goodbye may be the last thing you say to them is tremendous. That’s why it is called the home front.

These homecomings are always an emotional event. I am a retired vet and have been through it 7 times myself. As time went on and I got older and retired my perspective on things has changed. First, make sure that the only surprise is the military member coming home, don't ask don't tell. Second, there is a flip side to the uniformed soldier coming home. Sometimes the uniformed soldier is not someone you know or recognize, and the news is not good. Third, I am a hardcore military guy and I love my country. But these endless wars have to stop. Never support someone for political office that supports engaging is these wars.

My dad was enlisted before I was born. I often watched these years after he left, not because I was imagining my dad coming home from war, but just coming home at all. He disowned me a few years ago, taking my little brother from me, and now won't ever come home again. I thank the fathers who actually care for their children, stand for them, fight for them, and remain honorable all the while. My dad wouldn't take an insult for me, let alone a bullet. Thank you for caring for your children, loving them, and providing safety and security.
