What you are about to see is a surprise for a little boy whose dad has been in Iraq. The scene is a small town in northwest Washington state. US Navy Ensign Bill Hawse who's spent the past seven months deployed to Iraq decided to surprise his six year old son John at school...
...It was the sweetest homecoming for a sailor who had been gone too long, and for a little boy who had dreamed of this day with his dad.

Oh, and I cried, too!
I'd also object to the label "cute." Cute implies a cloying, sugary, somewhat artificial quality. This is gut-wrenchingly true.
*nochannel
kittens cuddling, otters flirting, pandas sliding down slides, puppies drooling . . .now that is cute.
and this one is going straight to the top. very nice sift.
This kid's dad has been away fighting a war that should never have been for 7 months and surprises him and the class that has been writing to him. End of story. (Of course, I added in my own feelings about the war there).
I almost damn cried I tells yah.
My boys would be beside themselves if I wasn't around for that long... so it pulls at the old heart strings to see a boy who loves his Dad get emotional at his return.
It's good to see the love a buy can have for his dad, and that's the only 'message' this video needs to have
i bet that little boy is going to look back on this memory and it's going to feel like he sailed through the air getting to his daddy ... precious!
Which, I still say, should have been utterly private.
BTW my dog used to greet me like that
I mean, it's KILLER misspellings Westy, but tell us your secret and what program you use? I've seen programs that do misspellings and typos, but the program you use does the misspellings in a VERY creative way like "pritty piontless". That's just classic.
What's really enraging about this video is that this guy's going to get sent back to Iraq in as little as 7 months.
Brutal media exploitation!
This is NOT news.
Actual news? I have a feeling that your idea of news if Fox News. Oh the irony.
If you come to VideoSift for news, you're an idiot.
Why do people agree to have their private moments staged and filmed like this?
word to roosh4:
"if that solider dies they'll stick the camera back in that little boys face to see how he "feels". all for viewers and dollars "
awwww heck. War FTB.
Why does something like this get so much attention, coverage, and oooh-ahhh? Becuase people are sheep. Slather some tears on that poor sap, and then you have a movement.
Reason, it's useful.
There is the human cost, the lost time that little boy will never get to spend with his daddy, and the lost moments with his son the daddy who has been in Iraq will never get back again.
That's not even counting the losses to the families of those maimed for life, or killed in action, and the losses that brings to the economy.
I was watching a documentary the other night on Cain and Abel. They said the word in the Bible for the verse where Abel's blood was crying out from the ground to God was mistranslated, that it should have been bloods. That what was crying out to God was the voice of Abel and all of his descendants who would now never be. That verse was Genesis 4:10
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood(s)
crieth unto me from the ground.
-- Genesis 4:10
Brings a whole new meaning to the cost of this war doesn't it.
U.S. Deaths Confirmed By The DoD: 3,260
Reported U.S. Deaths Pending DoD Confirmation: 7
Total: 3,267
Iraqi Civilian: 60,835-655,000
Yep reason sure is useful, try it some time.
i fail to understand when ppl complain about something that is touching. youd be happier watching tons of lolcats and pratfall vids? cmon, this is a forum for videos - i'd rather see an actual touching moment than more Fox news BS. i share cute moments of my baby all the time... becausde joy SHOULD be shared.
