Dad Breaks Down When Son Returns Home Early From Afghanistan

After being deployed in Afghanistan for a mobilization/demobilization tour for the past year, it was finally time for Mason to come home. Like every good soldier out there, Mason didn’t just up and tell his folks he was coming; instead, he asked his neighbor and fellow Veteran to set up a surprise for each of his family members, one by one.

The first stop on this tour of surprise was to see his dad at work. With the cameras rolling, Mason walked into his office and knocked on his door. The unsuspecting father was in the middle of a meeting, but once he sees his son standing before him it’s clear to see that the today’s list of schedules has gone right out the window. It’s beautiful and by far one of the proudest father moments ever caught on video and one that is guaranteed to make you cry!

Although it’s not shown in the video below, the soldier later surprises his sister and his mother while they were at work. Their reactions, obviously, are amazing!

These videos showing soldiers returning home can melt even the coldest of hearts. AFV made the sweetest compilation of soldier homecomings - grandparents, parents, offspring and pets, everyone screams with excitement when they finally lay their eyes on a loved one coming home.
