I always follow Smitty’s lead. Especially when he’s right. But, ahem. Chuck Norris doesn’t cry. He sweats out of his tear ducts on occasion. WARNING: Watch this in private.

Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!

I watched it. In public. I cried. I don’t care.
I wish every mother missing her military child would experience this joy tomorrow.
Many won’t.
And to those who will have to wait, we send lour love, prayers and gratitude – because it’s not just your child who has sacrificed with their service.

LTB ~ Thanks from a military father. Our daughters are overseas right now and Mom does miss them…
You would think that once I’d seen it 4-5 x that I wouldn’t cry like a baby when I viewed it…
I have been both the son and the father in this scenario. I also have a child serving in the AF (though currently in CONUS).
I know this scenario all to well many times over. But those experience, while hurtful, and enriched and strengthened me as a man, a soldier and a citizen.
I again send thanks to all the parents of all those far away today. Your children love you – so do your fellow citizens.
Thank you.
