a boy and his dad

I remember seeing this on the Today show a couple of months ago and I dont care how I feel about the war- this clip makes me cry every time I see it. I just can't imagine how hard it would be to have a loved one like a parent or a spouse in Iraq. I just thought this little reminder of those fighting in the war was awesome and when I found it on youtube I thought it was worth putting up. Very cute and touching.

I cried just as much as I did the first time I saw that. We really need to remember the sacrifice that those military families make for us.

I was going to defend Pres. Bush a little too- but don't want to fight with you. :-)

i also teared up the first time i saw this on the today show.

however, i also teared up at rory's high school graduation on gilmore girls, so i may not be a reliable source.

thanks for reminding me how sweet this is.

I remember crying the first time I saw it too, but then the school teacher in me kicked in and I thought how unfair that was to do to the little boy because now the other little boys are going to make fun of him for crying in class. I know that he is probably only in Kindergarten, but little kids are mean.
