While everyone respects our nation's brave soldiers and understands how important their sacrifices are, there is another group of people involved in our military who are consistently overlooked, but are just as important as the men and the women out there on the field.
We're talking, of course, about the parents and loved ones of those brave soldiers. Family is the thing that prompts soldiers to not only go into their profession, but it is also something that will give them hope if they ever find themselves losing it. The idea of family will help our soldiers continue to fight forward, so they can one day make it back home to the warm embrace of their loved ones.
So, to get the chance to actually witness one of those warm embraces happen in real time is one of the most beautiful things we could ever hope to see!
The video is perfectly set up, Mom is busy playing tennis with some friends as her son slowly sneaks up to the sidelines. Her son must have been laughing like crazy while watching his mom get ready for the next round, but suddenly, she seems to sense something in her peripheral vision. And when she finally sees it? I can't stop smiling!
"I thought you were in Afghanistan!"
Please SHARE this adorable soldier reunion if you could watch videos like this all day!
