Soldier Comes Home Early, Surprises Kids At School

There was huge surprise for two teenagers on Wednesday when their dad, who was deployed with the Air Force in Kuwait, came home earlier than expected; KDKA's David Highfield reports.

It's bad enough to see the daughters cry but it's even more touching when the son give the reaction this boy gave. So happy for them.

[@jessicaann-marie2365]

"Caleb Lee, are you working hard? MY BOY!"

[@bandgeek1614]

That my boy! Part got me

[@bryanlb4987]

I love watching these stories and seeing how their classmates react. Some, like the girl in the background get so emotional as well as the son or daughter being surprised.

[@psalm37v4]

If I'm ever having a bad day, all I have to do is watch these wonderful surprise reunions and next thing I know, I'm crying tears of joy.... Thank all of you in the military for your service and sacrifice!

[@MagalyCarmona]

😅😅😅😅

[@angelicstorm4985]

I'm a father of 3 sons and a daughter....and as a father, I can understand the joy in his voice when he claps and calls out to his son.

[@Jo_Wardy]

The father son was the best reunion

[@mykylc]

02:00 That girl in pink in the back. Nice to see a fellow student really care.

[@critter2]

both of them started to tear up

[@hellohandsome9875]

She has a big soft heart, sweet girl

[@Tdub0911]

Even those who hate the military in general gotta shed a couple tears here.

[@John-wu2mn]

Best ‘welcome home’ video I’ve ever seen...loved the way the dad said hi to his kids....fantastic...

[@SuperKillbill1234]

You got to be tough not to cry watching these..God bless all military people and their families..

[@johannakrantz8795]

“MY BOY!” 😂😂

[@raymondmendoza2428]

God Bless the Lee Family for their sacrifice.

[@ddellwo]

Love seeing the reactions of these kids in these types of videos - it really drives home how much they sacrifice when their moms or dads are serving our country!

[@sosanglemtur7085]

Welcome home sir and thank you for your great service.

[@andrewskinner8560]

He would have to be the coolest Dad ever.

[@ZippyThePinhead]

I always love seeing our military reunited with their families, it honestly does bring a tear to my eye every time. I sincerely appreciate EVERYONE in our military who makes the sacrifice to be away from family defend our country, and especially those who have been injured, or given the ultimate sacrifice for our benefit. They deserve our support in EVERY way. ❤🙏

[@ReggieClutch]

When the Dad said " My Boy" Omg

[@paulfharris175]

Welcome home Sir and Thank you for your Service and Respect

[@D-AnimalsReunited-oc4be]

I have alot of respect for these soldiers keep up the good work and stay safe x

[@Emotiondahota]

These surprise reunions between soldiers and their families are the best kind of videos to watch.

[@shawnbedard9557]

My dad just passed in August of this year and he was a Vietnam vet. And that family said that they were helping families of active or past vets and there families. So where where were those guys when my dad passed and I had to do everything myself

[@user-ro4zb6nz6l]

[@thatpatrickguy3446]

So very awesome. Welcome home and thanks for all you and your family do for our country.

[@Breezy-bv9te]

Its SO Beautiful watching these videos!! Watching families LOVE each other!! This is what life should always be about!! God Bless Our Military Heroes!! Much much Love to you All and Thank You for your sacrifices!! Xo-xo-xo

[@KathyE1965]

These are the best videos. I could watch them, crying and smiling, all day long!

[@crucisnh]

Karma, I guess that I'm in the minority that doesn't like this sort of video. It's not that it's great that their father is home and all. It's just that I absolutely HATE surprises. And I'd doubly hate this if it was done to me in public. My family knows that I hate surprises and surprise parties, and wouldn't do it to me. But there's always some jerk that will do it to you no matter how much you profess your hatred for surprises, because they refuse to accept that anyone can hate being surprised.

[@robertbishop5357]

Wow, a great family. Thanku for your service.

[@johnjamesflashman6856]

I really like the way most US citizens love their country.

If this had been the Vietnam era, this soldier would have been booed out. My generation of vets was treated like garbage.

[@elensuhet4770]

Nose porque veo este video si se que voy a llorar

[@mikewrasman5103]

Sounds like they are from West Virginia!

[@jackkircher1755]

For the military, six months is an overnight camp out. Try being away from family of 2-3 years! Some even longer! One little girl didn't even recognize her dad being gone four years AT ONCE! The second time was shorter and she flew into his arms! I just don't understand how so many get to come home in a year or less while others have to go so much longer without seeing their families who worry every day if they will ever see their soldiers again, and many DON'T, except for in a box!

[@thaliabowen2006]

He cried more than she did haha but adorable

[@dianashaw6360]

He’s an Airman, Not a Soldier.

[@queenakailastextingstories9236]

You see the girl with a pink shirt in the back at 2:06? Yeah most of us are her💀

The British making the same fuss of our returning service personnel is long overdue but I guess that would not be British. We are renowned for our "stiff upper lip"

Watched dozens of these videos and notice one common theme with those I've seen and the ones in the queue....no 13%....

[@roberthudson1959]

I have watched more of these than I can count, and I have seen videos of returning servicemembers with every color of skin that God creates.

[@footballtitann]

AIRMEN NOT A SOLDIER

[@roberthudson1959]

Soldier is the generic term for a member of the military. The USA is one of the few countries that insists on using a different term for the members of each military service. In fact, a lot of countries have only one service, with ground, sea, and air branches.
