Sailor returns from Iraq duty, surprises daughter at school [Delaware Online News Video]

[@lazios]

The most beautiful thing to see is the love in his eyes for her daddy. Good life little-girl.

[@annscott1857]

So sorry about the mom and daughter’s death. I hope God bless Sgt. Martin in him finding a new love and the start of a new family but at the same time he keep the memory of his late wife and daughter in his heart. No man deserve to go through what he has gone through.

[@NellasxElensar]

What a handsome dad and amazingly beautiful daughter! :'3

[@deborahsieminski4423]

I’m guessing this will go down as the best birthday gift she’ll ever get!!! ♥️

[@dannyphilbrook7669]

What a beautiful family!

[@jennaleon921]

unfortunately the wife and daughter passed away in a car accident two years after this:/ she was a classmate of mine

[@7beers]

Look how much she loves her father. :)

[@kappagirl981]

this videos break my heart. totally crying right now.

[@14mooler]

I just can't believe what I just read on comment section. After this touching wonderful reunion, their death is really unjust and cruel. My deepest respect and condolences to their family members and her loving dad. God bless them.

[@hollyccam]

I just saw that the young daughter and wife died in a tragic auto accident. This was one of my favorite videos. Taryn and mom were both highly talented and this is a waste of great folks. I hope John is getting on with his life. I assume he’ll never forget and their birthdays and the dates they passed away will be heart breaking for him. My prayers are with my friend

[@jasoncampbell1620]

Tears of joy. To have her daddy home! This is wonderful. Ty for what you do!!

[@treadman26]

Awesome family. Father is brutally handsome, mother is terminally pretty and daughter is a doll.

[@steglich12345]

soo cute this means so much to her!thank you for serving our country!

[@CptMatah]

Wow, she's so pretty. That look of happiness on her face is priceless. I know when our loved ones are in the military and overseas like that we all miss them, but for a child, it doubles. Thank you for you service

[@1flyhigher]

I can really se the joy on her face as she sees him that's great. Great girl and great that her dad came home on her Birthday. My dad missed my Birhtday & my first steps in my life whene he was working in usa to move to sweden.

[@katielovesyou88]

[@swagginqueen23]

RIP Taryn and her mother .. Hope there are in the better place

[@meat2507]

ok am i sad because watching theses tributes make me very emotional as a bloke , i dont think so , i just have a heart , who has a SON , i am british but also think of the american forces as well , we are all human we all have children

[@antnettleton2790]

God bless the little girl and her mother I have just read of there tragic death. I really hope and pray the the father is ok and coping and ppl of America support him through this hard time I sure would do but as seen as I am in the uk then its difficult. To the father if he is reading these comments God Bless U Sir and thank you for supporting and protecting ur country as well as mine I appreciate it .

[@JTP1982]

Protecting what ? To my knowledge, Uk were never really in danger.

[@jennyberrisford4737]

+Ant Nettleton NO!!!!!!!!!! They are NOT dead. Your'e LYING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right?

[@jennaleon921]

@@jennyberrisford4737 no. they both passed away in a tragic car accident. she was my classmate

[@morethanamazed8210]

He is a soldier. A person of honor, courage, and integrity. My father was in the Army, my uncles were in the Navy and Air Force. These people who defend their country have qualities you will never understand. I suppose calling people you know nothing about horrible names is your way of making a stand. I think you could find more constructive ways to change the world if you really wanted to. Good luck to you sir.

[@kayliyahweems3338]

R.I.P TO THE MOTHER AND HER DAUGHTER IF SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOST

[@KTGAL1]

What a cute family such a precious moment for her. What an adorable little girl :)

[@Kassia_97]

[@ShortieTheShizz]

Beautiful little girl and a handsome dad... God bless our troops.

[@jamie32117]

[@Kingtot]

I wish my dad would have hugged me once or said he loved me.. I envy this...

[@melaniemensen]

So beautiful to see this

[@jennaleon921]

Rest in Peace Taryn

[@jennaleon921]

every now and then, i find myself watching this video. i always wonder what kind of person you would be today, such a beautiful soul gone far too soon. taryn you had so much potential and although we were hardly even friends, i will never ever forget you. i just can’t understand why god does these things. again, rest in peace taryn and her mother as well. i hope the family is doing alright

[@kennyrogers7367]

[@ceciliabioybionson9341]

[@faithlockhart1697]

RIP the mother and daughter. I didn't know them personally but I know people who did.

[@snerffy]

how awful. i'm glad she had such loving parents. too short of a life but a life well lived.

[@Kingofkings112323]

[@123CREATIONS]

Sooooo beautiful

[@MayeloSand]

OH gosh i bursting in tears thumbs up if u r cryin so much I so sadd! gosh does my mom have onions she is cutting? ):::

[@irishfan84]

I was 6, in K, from PA but living in Plano, TX with my aunt and uncle and two older cousins (2nd and 4th grade), when both of my parents, yes both of them, were waiting at the house for me. Instead of going to the sitters we walked home (directly across from the school), and all of a sudden my 4th grade cousin took off running, instinctively i chased after, not realizing my parents were there until she was already in my mom's arms. I was the only kid in Texas with both parents in the war.

[@sharinemerizier1589]

i love this video!!!!!! So sweet!!!!!!!!!

[@lourdesgracia7369]

everyone calling this man a murderer needs to stop. How dare you come here to talk about politics. this is about a man coming back home to see his family. Politics is far from this video. Its heart warming and amazing. And if you wanna talk about leaving people orphaned, lets go back to twelve years ago, when two airplanes left hundreds if not thousands of kids fatherless, motherless, or orphaned. No one needs your damn negativity. God bless all of you

[@williambarrett3223]

I was an Operations Specialist when I was in the Navy 1974-78

[@StyleCraziness]

this video is part of my marathon lol ive been watching them for 30 minutes now .-.

[@ricky3699]

@vickutd92 ...Thank God...and I was feeling that I was the only man to have tears streaming down his face while watching these touching videos...my daughter is away from me and I so I can understand what it means to these brave fathers when they return home to their little girls. You know I may not agree with the US Govt's policies but my hats off to these brave men and patriots for carrying out their duty. :)

[@stephenrichardson2708]

So sad rip to the both of them

[@whitesystem8239]

RIP for mother n daughter..RIP to iraq citizen killed because of war..how many kids killed in iraq..RIP to them all.WAR should be stopped

[@mrtravdawg]

He's in the Navy. The rank on his chest is of a chief petty officer. The senior chief petty officer has the same symbol on his chest for the BDU's. It's just the way it is in the Navy. But the title on the tv said senior chief. That's just short for senior chief petty officer. His position is comparable to a Master Sergeant in the Army. Weird that the Big Red One symbol is on his right arm for sure.

[@Gehenna71]

They keep coming back man! They keep coming back ... (the vids)

[@OphidianWithin]

@XMilleniumProd How do you know he's Navy?

[@Canadian1626]

RIP to the mom and daughter. I think that this should be taken down in respect to them both. I can't imagine what the father is going through. Read more here: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2605333/Principals-daughter-killed-got-mothers-crashed-car-help.html

[@cyndyb1]

Thank you for the link to the article. This is so sad.

[@TheSuperlilgemz221]

who else cried???

[@fathifathi1748]

Amber G me too

[@DaWulf2010]

I'm pretty sure his patch was Army, 1rst Infantry Division.

[@Babekyle]

I'm not responsible for the onions men its that damn ninjas cutting them

[@TheBarberBunchh]

Ahhhhhh so cute

[@silversurfers7]

....I truly am shocked, they look the perfect family, a good looking family, the father looks like the U.S actor 'Tim Robins" easy to see that. What a fate, this living business is so fragile, we never know if we get out of bed for the last time. The daughter looked so much like her father, her eyes. If i could turn the clock back and had one request allowed to make, i would request this father to have back alive his wife and child, no tragic has happened to me to warrant a request of a return of a dead person, so mines available for him. :) If this could be, if only.

[@OphidianWithin]

@Airsoft1238 I don't know why it said sailor in the title but he's definitely Army. Army uniform, Army patches.

[@nsz6]

watchd one soldier returnin vdo n BOOM!! I have already watchd 10 videos since then!! damn it..

[@Stogie2112]

Just my opinion, but I think this video should be shut down out of respect for the deceased and the family.

[@MrIndianman95]

@majesticmaniac it took me about 4 times of reading that to get it

[@sarahsmith706]

R.i.p dr.martin nd Tarin

[@antnettleton2790]

so sad though isn't it

[@ebbhead20]

Good looking dad, a Mathew Perry/Chris O'Donnell clone. :-)

[@lukasv]

People need to realize that these videos and their comment sections are not for bashing on the war, the government, and ESPECIALLY the troops. If you have an opinion regarding any of those things, write to your congressman or something. If you're in another country, deal with it.
