This war veteran and hero has long inspired his fellow soldiers on what it means to be the absolute best of the best.
But through all the tough days at boot camp and all the long hours spent killing time on base, one little American 2-year-old girl doesn't really care about all that; she just misses her daddy!
When she was taken to the airport by her mommy, she had no idea why they were going. Maybe they were going on a trip to Disney? Maybe they were planning to watch the planes take off from the jetty?
Whatever the reason, this adorable little girl was still having a good time even without an iPhone 6s — she could have fun running around using her imagination!
But while she always loved to smile, something seemed to be missing lately: her daddy. She was missing him dearly, and while 8 months might seem long to me or you, just imagine how long it must feel for a little 2-year-old girl! That's over one quarter of her entire life!
So when her mom kneeled down and began to point into the distance, this darling girl had no idea what was going on.
It took a few seconds for her to realize who the huge figure was, but when she finally saw that it was daddy? She sprinted as fast as she could to run into his arms!
We just love seeing soldiers get welcomed home by their beautiful families; it's the dream of returning to their loved ones that keeps the brave men and women in our military going, and we just love more than anything when they get to hear the magic words, "Welcome home!"
