Surprise Homecoming

Lately I've been watching this show on TLC called "Surprise Homecoming."  The premise is that soldiers returning from deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan are surprising their loved ones with the help of this television show.

There are usually three stories and in between segments they show home videos that have been sent in.  It's definitely one of those shows that tugs on your heart strings.

In other words, PLEASE DON'T WATCH WITHOUT A KLEENEX OR TWO HANDY.
It's usually the kids that get me the most.  It's difficult to see how much they miss their dad or their mom. And then to see their excitement and joy as they run into their parents arms, it's just such a powerful reminder of the sacrifices that our military families go through to make sure that we're protected and free.

This show is on Mondays.  It's definitely worth a watch.


Thank a soldier for their service.  Support our troops.
