Would’ve been much better if he jumped out of a coffin, like “RAWR! JUST KIDDING!”.

That was cool, I did something similiar for a friend year before last at Christmas, he got leave from Iraq, came home, I made a huge box, placed into the bed of the truck, then drove it up into his families yard, the wife and kids came out to un-wrap it and he jumped out, it was awesome!

What can you say? There are few things in life better than your little girls crying with joy now that daddy is home safe. God bless this soldier and God bless and keep safe ALL of our men and women in arms in harms way. Amen.

It’s awesome that he could be home with his family and surprising them is also a wonderful idea. However, doing it in front of the whole school with that woman lecturing everyone about it as it happened seemed really over the top and wrong. It’s making a spectacle of that family to prove a point that, while valid, is cheapened by the execution. It all smacks of propaganda and a publicity stunt when it should be a moment between that soldier and his family.

While some see the whole thing as cheapened by the fact that it occurred at the girls school, the tears on the little girls faces were real tears of joy and relief to see their Daddy safely home.
You can NEVER cheapen that!

God Bless all those that defend freedom around the world!
