  1. The giant bow in Charlie’s hair…🥰

  2. I don't know how anyone can watch this without tears in their eyes.

  3. Some of these negative comments in here are really worrying me about how we view the world.

  4. Usually these reunions are an explosion of emotions, but leave it to NBC to totally fall flat and fail. Both of these reunions are so obviously fake and scripted, there is no real emotion in either one. They could have been epic, but dumb people at these major news organizations have no clue how to be organic.

  6. Female soldiers why are they needed that should just be for men..

  7. Careful, he probably owns guns

  8. 2:32 Was that little girl doing the salute pose or wiping tears from her eyes??😁

  9. Very nice.
    ☝️☝️🌹

  10. As usual, only one small part of the military represented in this piece. Are journalists afraid to go to communities of color? Disappointed.

  11. I Love these stories ❤️ its also hard when your kids in the military

  12. Sorry but i could/would never leave my children to go participate in a war.

  13. 見ていて凄く感動しました。🥹この子たちに今以上の幸せな未来がきますように♪

  14. According to a Spanish website, a journalist wrote an article saying: Morocco is on a powder keg and the sixth king is in the arms of a !!!! boxer

  15. That’s the kind of thing that puts a big smile on your face first thing in the morning. Thank you for covering this… and thank you for your service, military members ❤️
