Everyday while our loved ones are over in Iraq fighting for our freedom we are here wishing and praying that they will come home soon. We wait for the day that we get the call saying "I am coming home." We await this day anxiously and plan a huge coming home party for the one returning. With family and friends we gather and wait in airports or in our homes, waiting for our loved one to walk through the door. Not once in someone's life can they feel so built up and excited about something other than this. Their heart is pounding, tears falling, a nervous look on their face, and yet, all at the same time you can see the joy and happiness that they feel.
To these soldiers and their families, returning home is everything to them. To be able to see their children, parents, loved ones, and friends is the best thing that they can have. Coming home means being able to relax, not worry about the hardships you will face during the day, and being able to have fun with life. Not only do their friends and families love them, so do the people they never knew, or possibly never will know. Many of the soldiers do not realize that when they come home the whole world thanks them and praises them for the wonderful things they have done. Though we do not know these people personally they are in our hearts forever.
This video shows the wonderful soldiers who come home to their families. Please watch, it is very touching to know that no matter what they are always there.
How would you react when the one you loved came home?

ReplyDeleteI would be over whelmed with emotions.
I dont like the war, but if I had a loved one in the war and they finally called and said they were coming home I think I would be the happiest person ever :]
