The internet is filled with videos of folks reuniting with their loved ones after they return from service, and each one is more emotional than the one before it.
Here, FC1 William Smith of the U.S. Navy surprises his 17-year-old daughter, Delainey, at her cheerleading performance.
Delainey was one of the last girls to come out to the floor, and when she does, she’s floored. Literally.
We’ll bet this was a Valentine’s Day the Smith family will never forget.

Ok. This is sweet and all. But, is there a point where we need to put people in the public eye when they are having such an intense emotional experience? I don't know.
I think these clips are great. They show the public the true sacrifice of our service members AND their families. Each service member loses time with family to serve our country and the family loses the same amount of time with their loved one. Yes, it is emotional, and the reunions should be emotional. Love IS priceless.
So many, in society, want to disregard the sacrifices of our military members. These clips remind the public of our servicemens (women) humanity, IMHO.

Faith isn't something that keeps bad things from happening. Faith is what helps us get through bad things when they do happen.
Of course. But, it seems a bit unfair to have a child's raw emotions displayed to the whole world. Aren't there some things that are still better done in private?

We live in the digital age, duh.

I kind of see both sides of it. I think many in the public do need these reminders of the tremendous sacrifice our service members make--but putting these kids' emotions out there in such a public way--I don't know.
Not sure how I would like it if my son got deployed and then showed up unexpectedly at some event I was at.

Well, I could agree with you--but then we'd both be wrong.

We do--but if he just showed up at home with a few family members it would be a far different situation.
