If you ask me, our nation's heroes in uniform never get enough credit for the work they do.
Not only do they put their lives on the line every single day to protect the rest of us, they often make the biggest sacrifice in doing so, spending weeks, months, and sometimes years away from their loved ones. As you can see in this video of a little girl seeing her soldier mom and dad again after way too long, this can be especially difficult for parents of young children.
That's why finally returning home to their favorite people makes service so worth it for our military men and women, and I love honoring them by sharing amazing stories like this next one out of Ooltewah, TN. Petty Officer First Class Blake LeMay has been away from his wife and young son Brayden for way too long, as he was based in Washington state for the past two years. He's missed some pretty big events, like Brayden's first day of kindergarten, but there was no way he was going to miss out on a school ceremony honoring military family members.
As Brayden sits down during the ceremony, the 5-year-old looks like he's bored and really missing his Dad. They award him with a medal to give his father when he returns, but little did Brayden know that it was all a ploy to save the best moment for last.
