Military Son Surprises Mom at Home After Almost 9 Months in Afghanistan

April 17, 2012

“This was one of the most special moments I’ve ever experienced to say the least. 8 and 1/2 months in Afghanistan and my poor mother had no idea what was coming. Months of planning that went off perfectly! Glad I could share this with all of you – Excuse the lap-puppy please ”

Thank you for your service…some folks may not realize… there are not just husbands, wives and children waiting for soldiers to return safely, but moms and dads and friends and neighbors too… did he say ” I told you not to miss me?” how sweet…a nice sentiment, but impossible I’m sure. Welcome home. Glad you made it back safe & sound, even if just for a little while…

And Dawgs & Kats too…
