You know what real love is? It's a teenage boy crying in front of his fellow football players because his father shows up to surprise him. This is what family is all about.
I was thinking the same thing.
Qyogvjj
AMEN! That young man has been raised right. Just when we think the youth of today is lost and then you see this and realize there are still some great ones who have Respect, Love of GOD and FAMILY, and Respect AND Love of this Country. Well said!
I replayed their embrace several times...how powerful of a hug!

Real men cry when they see their dad then 10 mins later knock the S&%T out of someone on the gird iron!
Thank you and your family for your service.
Class act for the other team allowing them to do this!
Damn right!
King Grievous I can't believe I found you...
Slacin' Ace I'm everywhere. ;)
Man, I tear up everytime I see this. I think this kid LOVES his dad.
u think so?
All the fears, all the sleepless nights, all the anguish of not knowing if Dad will return home...gone in an instant...tears flow as this young man see's his Dad in a very unexpected moment...why am I tearing up?...
That was cool for the opposing team to lend the dad a uniform to surprise his son in....
@@TerryHalljr-du5dhbro it’s a 9 year old comment
A truly beautiful moment between father and son. Thank you.
And what makes this so awesome is he surprises his son on his own field of battle. Thanks for your service, soldier

HAHAHAHAHA! I was holding the tears and playing tough, but after that joke I lost it, hahaha! I never had cried out of laughter and emotion at the same time, hahaha! Thanks for the joke!
wow that's love and his teammate jokingly hugging the other team member, that was funny.
Maybe it was also his dad to. The other guy seemed middle aged also.
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Heartbøund pfft hahahahahahhaha
*****
?
Heartbøund
It was another father.
My right ear really enjoyed this video.
Haha, I took out my head phone just to see wtf you were talking about
Oh my gosh, I thought it was my headphones!
Lol
i was like ohh no audio...still nice ._.
You almost made me pee myself with that comment X'D
Ugh! I've got to stop watching these videos. I'm going to be crying all freakin' night!!!
***** truth b told
Oh to see a tough football player cry like that is so touching and heartwarming! what a lovely thing to see! :)
Only real men aren't afraid to cry.
I don't even know what it feels like to have a dad.
Hang in there brother.
Trust me when I tell you when you have a responsible dad, He shapes you into a real man. the love of a father is stern and steady unlike the love of a mother that is soft. I miss my own dad
I could literally watch these videos for hours. never get tired of these videos.
I was born and raised on a military base (Ft.Campbell). I ALWAYS was excited to see my father come home safe. I normally knew when he was scheduled home, It being a surprise would drive me wild. I can relate to the joy felt at seeing a loved one home and well.
I've shed a tear or two at many of these type videos, but this is the first one that has truly made me weep. I mean its Niagara Falls over here!! Thats one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Thank you for your service Master Sgt Martel.
My good sir you have served are country and made us proud but what you just did is probably the best thing you can do for your son thank you for making us proud
Classy of the rival team to partake in this one & lend their uniform. Sgt. Martel must really be fit to fit into a H.S. uniform
I personally would give my life so that others won't have to suffer
Same
The tower of Babble i would to
I've been split with my wife for 5 months after a nightmare of a marriage... but she took our toddler son to the boonies and I've only seen him twice, for an hour each, in 5 months. The last time was over a month ago. The custody battle is vicious and taking forever. I miss him sooo soooo much. I just find myself watching endless strings of videos like this. I'm a 6'3", 240 lb man reduced to a bumbling mess of emotions.
I hope you manage to see your son more and win joint custody or proper visiting rights. All my best wishes to you. Stay strong xx
Be tough , Sir . I pray may you will re-unite with your son soon . Amen . God knows and understands the grieving of a man wanting to see his son so much .
thats sad. dont know how far the 'boonies' are for you but its very important you establish a set visitation time as often as you can (keep a record) for the courts to see you are serious about bonding with your son. also keep a record of the times the mother refused you visitation & reasons. an hour seems ridiculous esp. if you have to travel so i would try to extend that. it may be hard but you have to 'olay nice' with the mother in the meantime to gain more access. also i hope you're paying child support & by check (records) dont give up. kids do need a good father.
I feel lonely as I never had my dad with me. As a matter of fact, I don't know what it feels like to call someone " dad". Anyone out there can tell/ describe what it feels like to call someone " dad"
I'm seeing him weekly now :) Won't be long before I get him for the night and then hopefully on weekends and eventually half the time (week on. week off) is my goal.
Damnit tears, quit falling from my eyes.
aww bless that boy's heart.
There is nothing that can make me cry more than seeing grown men balling. My eyes are leaking!
Awesome and Many Thanks to everyone who is protecting Our Country God Bless America! !!
17 people can kiss my ass! this video was PRICELESS!! made me tear up, on another note....welcome home soldier and thank you...if you're already redeployed please stay safe
I need to go punch a bear holding a shark to regain manlyness
That was beautiful! His reaction was pricless. I loved it! Thank you to all the service men and women so much. You will never be thanked enough.
Dad sure loves his son, awesome.
holy hell, that made me cry...
how in the world do people dislike this
Shit my eyes are sweating
Right?? I need some old spice up in here.
Damn, who put these onions next to me....
Phoenixlover822 Damn, I need to replace my eyes. They seem to be leaking.
Lol same
Real men cry for their loved ones..
Must be hot in here, my eyes are sweating.
Hexproof 730 yeah my eyes started sweating to I guess I need a fan
I am a 230lb 5'7 Senior defensive lineman and I am sitting here bawling like a baby...
man I cant even lie this got my eyes watering
You can almost hear the other players saying " I ain't can crying - there's grass in my eyes-sniff". Welcome home soldier .
Who would dislike this?
you
+Leisha Johnson Why would he dislike this? He's asking who because there aren't many people who would in their right mind
that's going to be my son and his dad one day
This is a great video. The kid's reaction is priceless. I don't know how kids like him hold it together when his Dad is gone so long, and, is in harm's way. Living in a military community, I admire these families. They go through a lot that we do not see. It also makes me appreciate my own father that much more. Thanks to the Dad for his service, and, to the other team for helping him surprise his son in the most incredible way. God Bless them both.
A young man in front of all his team not ashamed to be crying for his dad. THAT'S a real man.
I keep watching videos like this of soldiers coming home and I keep making my self cry!! They are so awesome but I'm like touchering my self!!
Getting a reaction like that from your son on a football field in front of everyone...priceless. Parenting: you're doing it right. Welcome home brother.
I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT IM FEELING TEARS!
Same here T-T
out of all the military surprise videos on you tube that i have watched the is without a doubt my FAVORITE
Awesome and beautiful! Y'all made this grown man cry.
This is awesome. i watch troop homecoming videos a lot, even if they do make me cry, lol. But, did anyone else notice that this appeared to be 2 reunions? The man & teen standing next to each also appeared to be having one. Always nice to see such heart felt homecomings. And Rest in Peace to those who don't get to return home. And thanks to all of them for their service!
and LOL @ 4:43 "it wasn't because you didn't have a good game, it was because Larry ran like a man chiild" *facepalms* from tears to laughter haha
It's crazy to see the love that they have for each other. I've never seen that kind of love between father and son..
Simply beautiful!! It is wonderful to see a young man show such love for his father! We all need to learn to show our love to our loved ones!!
This is a beautiful moment between father and son. Respect it, and be grateful to those who let us see a private moment between father and son. You do not need to be rude or condescending or hateful.
He probably was thinking about his pops during the whole game, nice!!!
I'm not a crier but this made me cry so bad!!
charles smoyer I was a ass sorry this was cute
Made me cry so sweet. Hope all our men and women come home safe soon..
Priceless! Absolutely wonderful !

all those people who disliked this doesn't have a heart
Had to slap myself to get tough again
Fantastic surprise pure emotion, great welcome.
wow this made me cry!! he turned from a big football player into a small baby boy in his dad arms.
I legitimately don't understand how people dislike stuff like this...
people are assholes the only ones who dislike are demons and lost souls
COWARDS WHO HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING NOBLE IN THEIR LIFE!! THESE ARE OUR MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN RISKING AND LOSING THEIR LIVES TO THIS DAY. ANYONE COMING ON HERE TO MAKE THIS A JOKE OR TAKE A CHEAP SHOT IS A SPINLESS PUNK!!! THIS WAR ASSH*LES MAKING RIDICULOUS COMMENTS!! NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT IT!! THIS BOY WAS REUNITED W HIS HERO FATHER. A TEENAGER WORRYING EVERY NIGHT ABOUT THE DAD HE LOVES...IF HES ALIVE OR NOT!! WHATS WRONG W PPL IN THIS COUNTRY!! TAKE THE FREEDOM YOU HAVE FOR GRANTED!! IT COMES AT THE COST OF KIDS LIKE THAT!
+WATCH DOGE could be that or maby its because there dad never came back whoooo knoows
my right ear enjoyed it very much...
hahaha I thought my left suddenly decide to die
Instant tears, ive watched tons of these and haven't seen a reaction like that. thankyou for sharing
Big guys with sensible heart...That's what we need...Great video
who is cutting onions!!!!
Wait were there two surprises?? Coz on the right of the screen around 3.10-3.14 something happens
Most people don't realize the sacrifices made by military families. It's not just the service member that we owe a huge amount of gratitude, but the wives who raise the kids and run the household solo, and the kids spend a great part of their lives growing up with a parent at sea, deployed, etc. This kids emotions speak volumes. Thanks to those who serve, and to their families for both supporting them and allowing them to do so.
I can't even imagine. Lots of us never had a father and never had a hug... So beautiful to know it's out there.
oh the hell with the onions,, these vids make me cry like a bitch
damnit, my eyes are sweating again.
Before his dad took off his helmet, I thought he was just another player, and I was sittin there thinking, "Jesus Christ tuck in your shirt!"
So happy he came at sons football game to surprise son
gah these homecoming vids are like crack!
thanks for sharing Wes, I hadn't seen that one...glad my tissue was close by!
Is it weird my eyes are wet and sweaty
no matter how brute an athlete u could b, nothing can stop the tears like seeing your military dad or family after a long time.
im happy he only waited a year to see his dad and hug him
i haven't seen any member of my family in over 9 years
this kind of videos just make me miss them even more :-(
My eyes are spewing out some sort of liquid
They are called tears it means you are human and have feelings
lynnbelford217 Oh
these Ninja onions
It's always great to see a service member get home to his/her family.
This is a BEAUTIFUL REUNION BET FATHER & SON! A little bit of what these families endure when their loved one is deployed! I related so much with this reunion! THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR SERVICE AND TO YOUR SON AND WIFE!! YOU must be an amazing dad, the look and reaction from your boy said it all!!! To those disliking & making negative remarks... THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT THE TIME OR PLACE. THATS A KID WHO JUST REUNITED WITH HIS HERO FATHER!! BECAUSE OF MEN LIKE THIS YOU HAVE YOUR FREEDOM! I DONT CARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE...HOW DARE ANYONE MAKE AN ASSH*LE REMARK OR HIT DISLIKE??? YOU DISLIKE A BOY REUNITING WITH HIS FATHER THAT HE LOVES AND WORRIED ABOUT DAY AND NIGHT?? Its ALWAYS COWARDS WHO NEVER DONE ANYTHING NOBLE IN THEIR LIFE, THAT ALWAYS HAS SOME D BAG REMARK!! THE REASON YOU'RE AFFORDED THOSE THOUGHTS TO BE MADE KNOWN IS BECAUSE OF THAT MAN AND OTHERS SUCH AS HIM!! SO WHEN YOU THINK ITS BC OF PROTESTORS ECT MAKING THE DIFFERENCE REMEMBER... WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THESE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN!!! WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS THE GRATITUDE AND ADMIRATION I HAVE FOR OUR MILITARY... LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!!! Thank you!!
guy on the right at 4:30 lololol
3:35 that camera man..... where the f*ck are you looking.. you have no idea how to spot a frame do you??
At 3:10 you can see that there's another father standing to the right, surprising his son. This was a surprise for two kids...
lol.. didnt see that....
Or Jerome
How about you think before you make ONLINE comments then. Words of wisdom.
Liz Winter There are two kinds of people on the internet.
The Dumb
And the Smartasses
Welcome to the Internet
fine fine.. ffs.. a man is allowed to make a mistake... i commented on what i've seen.. wasn't mentioned in the video on a second surprise.. and after troublesome2008's comment i saw it again and did see on the edge of the shot that there was another dad making his surprise to his son.. i realize my mistake.. but don't come lecturing me on "words of wisdom" and "there are two kinds of people" shit.. remember that next time you err and someone's giving you shit about it like you two.. Liz Winter KazeLars
I am a solider and my best friend s were they died after no one knew them I made everyone in my area to see what a great job thay did
A parent who truly loves their child will move Heaven & Earth to be with them, much like this very cool, loving father!! My hat off to you sir, to thank you for your service!! I'm truly humbled now....
I would have played like sh*t.
😂 yeaa
Dislike because I was expecting football not this handegg shit
Fuck football u fat fuck
Sinister Bull you*. Fat? Im training for the iron man. Enjoy your american fatball
Omg ur mom must be proud like I give two shits and I don't like american football
I know this was a couple months ago, but didn't you read the title when you jumped on this video? I mean, you couldn't have missed it. Maybe its a joke and I am not catching it. Ugh I cant tell with technology.
No where in the title does it say anything about football...
bless his heart... I'm shedding a tear right along with him
It wasn't even just this kid that had this happen. The kid beside him also had someone come from the military. Aww this is way too heartwarming and happy. My brother is in the Navy and he has been gone for a few months and I cant wait to see him. Because its moments like these that help people see that humanity isn't all bad and evil.
So he went to kill other people's sons then came back to his own son...cool
Well if there terrorist pieces of shit then ya i would to
Yeah after we went to their land and fucked with them. 9/11 was in protest of America fucking with their shit. If we just left them and their oil alone there would be no terrorism.
You mean the one we financed by giving the taliban money and guns?
And the CIA raping people are not criminals, no?
This soldier was a mechanic based out of Kandahar Airbase. I doubt he did much in the way of invading.
Alright first off bitch the CIA didnt rape anyone they interogate people to keep this country safe if i was in there shoes i would do the same thing and we funded them wirh AK's, Pecnegs, and other russian weapons during the late 1970's-1980's so they could fight against the russians that were invading there country and taking their natural resources and they would also kill random civillians for no reason so we supplied them with arms since they were still behind on modern weapons and the only reason they still have those weapons is because they are virtually indestructible so they still have some the AK's that they use against us. If you hate our military members then you can leave this country!
I had to fight back the tears what a cool video I cant imagine being away from my kids for so long Thank you for your service .
had to punch myself to feel like a man again great video !
This is too pure ... big hard guy turns to tears after seeing his dad
