An everyday fourth-grade reading class in New Jersey was interrupted on Monday by a real-life fairy tale ending.

Ten-year-old Celine Gonzalez and her school-mates were working on a class assignment when her dad made a surprise visit, having just returned from a seven-month posting in Afghanistan.

Celine’s eyes grew wide, her jaw dropped and she began to cry...

That's an AF SSgt. (Or SrA, I can't tell with the fold in the sleeve) Always playing tricks on someone. ;)

Why is my screen blurry?

I never tire of seeing those videos when the kids are surprised. Wonderful scenes.

Why did we have to learn about this from a paper in the United Kingdom?

Sniff.....

I remember when I came back from Desert Storm. My 4 year old daughter put a two arm lock around my neck for hours !

My 1 1/2 year old son just ran around like a lunatic :)

God Bless reunions.

These things are always blurry to me.

Great reunion. Those pictures say it all. And bless you for your service onona; it may sound cliche’ but it is heartfelt. Thank you!

Holy Cow turn on the water works. Everytime I see these and watch “Welcome Home” (Lifetime Network Sunday Nights after Army Wives) I cry from the opening credits thru the end. I cry so much that I make myself laugh at me.

Little kids need their parents. Enjoy it.

Last deployment I returned from, my son-in-law was rotating out. We passed with a brief hug in the airport, and my daughter told me as she took me home that I'd have to pay the airport toll. They get so cynical when they have done their own deployments. ;)
