In the 12 yrs that I have been with my hubby, I have had the privilege to be on the receiving end of Home Coming 3 times. Its a very emotional experience. 24 hrs before his arrival ALL you thing about is him coming home. Your whole world revolves about seeing him again & waiting for that 24 hrs to end .... truly emotional.
I hate the idea of leaving Afghanistan to the Taliban, but as was proved extensively by the Soviet Union, there is no way to win a war in that country. Especially as long as Pakistan keeps being a jackass and supporting them. :(
I saw this yesterday on the news & sobbed, so I think I'll skip it today. I love the whole set up the teachers/school (mom?) planned. What a special surprise for that little girl.
Call me unpatriotic but these wars have been completely senseless and all the parents, sons, daughters, uncles, moms etc. need to come home. Too many civilian lives here and abroad have been lost for nothing.
I could watch these reunion videos for a week straight. I never not cry.
ReplyDeleteI am beyond tired of these moments. We need to bring all our troops back home. This country does not need endless war.
ReplyDeleteOh I wholeheartedly agree with you, _-_=_...but they still turn me into a chin-quivering mess *L*.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think it's impossible not to tear up at these. It is for me anyway.
ReplyDeleteDammit Enty, you made me ruin my makeup.
