- When Sgt. Seth Craven's connecting flight back home to West Virginia was canceled, he was beside himself over the idea of missing his wife Julie's scheduled cesarean section and the birth of his first child. That's when a stranger at the airport named Charlene jumped in to help, offering the National Guard sergeant a ride in her car. After an 8-hour drive, Sgt. Craven made it just a few hours before his son Cooper was born. Kelly chats with the happy mom and dad, then surprises them by bringing out Charlene to meet Julie and Cooper for the first time.

I think it was during desert storm but I was about to board my plane when I saw a service man with his large duffel bag at the counter begging to get on the plane but it was full. I wasn't in a big rush to get home so I went up to the counter and I asked did I hear right that you have to get on this flight? He said yes. He only has about 3 days of leave before he has to go over seas. If he doesn't make this flight he'll miss his connection in Chicago and will lose time with his family. The ticket lady allowed me to give him my seat and put me on the next flight no charge. He thanked me again and again. I told him it was the least I could do for his service. Never did get his name nor him mine. If my brother, father, sister, etc., were in the same boat I would hope someone would help them out like I did. Ty Charlene for you helping out this family.
That is incredibly kind of you! Most people just turn a blind eye and pretend they didnt hear/see. People are in a rush even when they have nowhere to be. That was awesome of u!
Your a kind hearted soul
Bless you for doing that. Too many would not of. You helped that man and his family more then you know I’m sure.
Pegacorn you’re awesome a God bless you
Now that’s a heroic move right there.
Awww, what an amazing person Charlene is. Thank you Sgt Craven for your service. Such an amazing story.
What has he done for us in Afghanistan?
@@scottgross9337 sacrificed his life for others
America is full of heroes. Makes me proud to be an American.
I am not an American, but i am thankful for all the service your country had done to the whole world...
I pray for those Americans who wants to destroy their own country to wake UP..they are living in the land of the free and the home of the brave....
Did you see his eyes and face light up just when he was looking at his son??!! Beautiful!! Beautiful family, beautiful Angel and family!!!
Charlene went above and beyond for the Sgt and his family. Like others have said it’s just a really feel good story that we need in this crazy time and world.
Thank you Mr .Craven for serving our country God Bless you and your family 🇺🇸🙏
I love this story I remember when my first son was born and my second son was born on the same day I graduated from NCO academy the Sargent major handed me my diploma and said congratulations now get to the hospital LoL August 6th, 1982 that was a proud day for me. God 🙏 bless this family and all serving and those like I who did serve.
What a story, good about the sarge.
U r one of those people that get their angel wings on earth
She certainly is an Angel, for going out of her way for this Soldier.
Charlene is an Angel. God Bless her. This was an amazing story.
This was a beautiful story. Thank you Charlene for doing what was right for the Braves serviceman. And thank you to this wonderful army veteran for sacrificing so much for this country your dedication to country and duty is highly appreciate it and I also want to say thank you to your family For sacrificing everything that they do not having you home when you’re overseas. I wish blessings upon everyone involved in the story it is truly amazing I hope when I have my own children that they grow up to be just like all of you
OMG!!!! I am absolutely bawling right now. What a beautiful person inside and out to be so selfless to get a military daddy home to be with his wife and new baby. I am an Army mom and my son and daughter in law just had their first child, my first grandchild. I would have moved heaven and earth for my son to be there for the birth of his daughter, but, unfortunately, he couldn't make it home to them. He won't get to see her until she's 3 months old. All of both of their families are in California and they are stationed in North Carolina. Fortunately I was able to go out for the birth and her first month, but I wish my son could have been there. Bless this serviceman and for this wonderful angel for getting him home. ❤❤❤
Thanks for your service sgt! Charlene you're an angel. And Kelly for highlighting this story. Love our military families ❤
Cooper is adorable ! What an Amazing story.
This was the sweetest thing.
What a beautiful family. Thanks to both of them for their service.
What a sweet woman! I want to hug her!
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Amen ♥
One of Gods greatest promise 👏☝️
The military NEEDS to treat their dads better but so happy in humanity that he got a ride home. ❤️ His baby is still so little and I’m just sad for him and his wife that he can’t be home with them. Like shouldn’t he be transferred closer to home? No other job are families not prioritized as badly as the military. Our military is notorious for shuffling people around with no to little notice.
Thank you sgt. GOD BLESS YOU SWEETIE for everything you do and your service
I LOVE how Kelly allows ALL her guests stay on stage . She is going to do great as a host.
She has 3 Emmys and this is her 4th year I think she’s doing great
I love ❤️ Kelly Clarkson, her personality and her voice when she sings wow she has a fantastic voice
Thank you Sgt. For your service & for protecting myself & my family!! Congrats to you & the missus for your son. May god bless you & your family!!
I love you Kelly Clarkson, The world is blessed with you in it.
Kelly I just love y’all so much. You are one of the sweetest (unless you are playing a game lol) people around. I hope your show last a very long time. You make this difficult quarantine a bit easier knowing I have you videos to look forward to.
Such a beautiful story!
Beautiful story! Thank you for your service! From Eastern Canada. xox
Kristin. Hugs. She got the feels. ❤❤❤
Charlene! I would have done the exact same thing. We love a hero, and two of them! Too much.
I was getting on a plane on my two week leave. I had a seat in the back of the plane but honestly I could have been in the cargo of the plane would have been fine with me. A guy in first class came and told me to take his seat not asked! I was like I can’t do this you paid for that but he insisted.
So many every-day heroes among us. 99% never get the attention they deserve, not do they want it. Thank you to everyone who has ever done a kind deed for someone.
Such an awesome story! What a Great person! What a Great world this would be if everyone treated each other this way. 😁
First of all, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for your service, Sir and congratulations to you and your wife on your adorable bundle of joy.
Secondly...I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, Kelly! 😘
It does not get any better than this!
Charlene is a angle sent to them from God,, and may God bless you and your family and thank you for your service seth
Im gonna go tell my family how much I love them now.
Thank you sgt craven for your service im glad u made it home for the birth of ur adorable son i was adopted from russia and love and support our military no matter what i would do the same for any service men or women
This is a beautiful surprise for a new family
Its stories like this that strength your belief in mankind
Someone was looking out for little cooper then found them this hero. So he could have his dad
I love these kinda stories. The media should show these more often and maybe people will be better and nicer
Charlene, honey. You are such a WONDERFUL WOMAN!!!! MAD LOVE TO YOU!!! From an aging SEAL veteran, miss.
Hi! Love you Kelly!!❤️❤️
AHHHH I LOVE THIS!!! and the baby is sooooo cuteeeee!!!!
2020 version of ‘planes, trains and automobiles’. Congrats!!!!
This was amazing to watch
I’m so addicted to these clips.
There are always more good people in the world then there are bad. The silver lining indeed.
That’s very nice of her
That's an understatement! :)
This is so amazing
How wonderful for this to happen my son was stationed over seas when his first child was to be born he did not get to come home to be with his wife for this special occasion but yet the army allowed another soldier to come home for the birth of their second child this is an event that can not be redone and I don’t ask him but I bet he feels he missed something that was beautiful
AMAZING!
the way she laughed in the beginning 😂😂
My nephew’s name is Cooper! Congratulations on Cooper and thank you for your service sergeant
Thank Gob there are still good people in this world!
H🌻W are there 👎🏼s??? Karens/Trolls watch something else!!!
Congratulations on your precious little one! And from one veteran, Thank you for your service!!! 🇺🇸
I did subscribe to your Ch. already. Big hug from Flores, island of Indonesia. I am a die-hard fan of yours.
A sweet thank you for such a gesture would be to name him Charlie for Charlene. He could have been Cooper Charles or Charles Cooper. What a sweet gesture that would have been! Thank you for your service Sgt. Craven. May God keep you safe until you’re back home in the good ol’ US of A.
This really made my heart so happy. 😭❤
How beautiful Sasha xxxx
Salut to Charlene. A 8 hour car ride.
Just imagine the gas bill.
I kept reading Sargent as ”surrogate“ and I was so confused
Thanks for this, such a PLEASANT change from all the HATE we see now.
❤️😭
😇 angels walk among us
Sgt craven salute
Last time I was this early i can still walk my dog
Still people with goodness in them.
I drove 4 1/2 hours (usually a 6 hour drive) late at night (100 mph through Shreveport, Louisiana) to get to the hospital for the birth of my second son. I missed the birth of my first son. When I walked into the waiting room at the hospital, my sister-in-law instantly looked at her watch and did the math and shook her head.
How did I not know you had your own You Tube Channel... I am dead right now... I got something to binge watch!!!! WooHoo... By the way, you are an amazing human being Kelly and you touch so many people's lives. I absolutely love you!
Ayeeee West Virginia!!
I can't decide which is better, this one or Amelia meeting her pilot "idol."
new Jersey strong
I was deployed to the Persian Gulf when my wife and I had our 2nd child, our son was four months old before I made it home! Happy Charlene help this guy home!
Boa noite, uma boa entrevista muito sensacional e maravilhosa.Bom esse vídeo.
I hope to run a transportation service one day and can help someone in the military or anybody like this!

It's a rerun video..😔😔
i missed my first son being born, i did not see him till he was over 5 years old. i have not seen either son since august 6 1999.i paid child support and paid for ex wife their mother college education from a BA to Doctors Degree, i survived head trauma cancer diabetes black outs blood clots while active duty USN i served 20 years active duty for twenty years i have not seen them even asking to fly to washington state to see me. i wass told by their mother NO they can not fly by themselves at 7 and 8 . a lie. usn failed me to see them. family has failed me so i could not see them taking thousands of dollars from me so i could not go see them
Its nice of her to do that for our trooper
🇺🇸🤗
This must have been recorded last year...they’re in Kelly’s TV studio except for the sergeant.
It's a rerun, don't act stupid..
How nice of them to send him home for his first my son was deployed and they wouldn’t let him leave for his first born but others did he was with 😡
My last name is Cravens n in our long family history our name was craven years ago
Not enough story details. How did she know his situation? Was she on his flight? Did she just grab a one way rental car? Why did the flight get canceled?
She probably overheard him at the desk making if there was another flight or asking when the next flight would be. She said she had to be in Charleston the next day (possibly for work) so she went to the rental company stands that are inside the airport (most rentals are one way? which is why you can be in Vegas and get a car with a Texas license plate)
He was sitting at the airport looking so bump with his uniform. This nice lady saw a soldier looking so sad so she approached him then asked him then it let to her driving him. Thats the story...i think if remember the full episode of this
Our dogs name is Cooper
I was alone with all 3 of mine.
Was it just me that was expecting him to walk out and not be in Afghanistan I’ve watched too many videos where that happens I just expect it every time lol
like it
With my second son who is great and fine but I had a second C-section with him and when I was in the recovery room they came in to check on me and they said you’re bleeding a lot and I said what do you do if you can’t get that to stop and they said we would have to open me back up. Luckily they gave me a pill to help stop the bleeding and that worked otherwise it would have been a nightmare I’m sure
My son also ended up in the nick you for a couple weeks. Because he had a valve that is supposed to shut off when you’re born and his didn’t it kept wanting to redirect the blood flow to the heart from the placenta and he didn’t shut off when it was supposed to so he’s got a heart murmur even though it’s a very mild and it’s not anything to be concerned about but at the time very scary
I also didn’t find that out until the morning that I was supposed to leave and go home with him. So I left the hospital that day without my child and that was very difficult
Who was the other guest
Kristin Chenoweth.
Who is the blonde
There's 4 of them. Barbie, Ivanka, Ivana, Betsey. I'm guessing.
It does not take a village it takes the parents and Jesus
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. 20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
What a shame that Charlene didn't get a gas gift card or something, from the show.
