HEART-WARMING VIDEO: SAILOR BACK FROM IRAQ SURPRISES HIS SON

CRainqueen sent me this touching video of a meeting between a sailor who had been deployed to Iraq when he returned and walked into his son's classroom.

The video is a touching reminder of what so many young men and women are giving to their country.

Here is a quote from the sailor in the video:

Sailor father surprises his son during class...

Very emotional.**EDIT February 27, 2008 -

I have been recieving tons of messages asking me about the song in the background. So here you go: The song is from the soundtrack to American Beauty written by Thomas Newman and naturally it's called American Beauty. There is a little bit mixed up version of the same song on the soundtrack called Any Other Name. Hope that helps. BTW - I disabled comments because of the assholes who had nothing positive to say.**Update October 22, 2008 -

I have received hundreds of messages about me disabling the comments.

Well, no more - Comments are back up and I don't care if its positive or negative. Just make sure you vote down the negative ones.

And to the 43 other of you that have ripped the video and then reposted it back on YouTube, whats the point? Its already here -

This is my contribution to youtube, don't take that away from me.
