Alcohol was my only way I could deal with my relatives. When we get together, I get hammered. It's my way of cooping with them. I love them, but they drive me insane. There's nothing worse than returning home and having your female cousins and aunts hugging you in inappropriate ways. After that's over with, hanging with my dad, grandpa and uncles was fun, tho I couldn't wait to get outta there.
Ashley Timm You are correct. For example, a lot of Vietnam war vets were hated because of the my lai massacre which was only done by a few select soldiers. Must have been hard times for vets to come back and be hated after the hell they went through. At least it’s much happier now days😃
I grew up watching my dad leave and come back for over 21 years in the Marines. Even though he has passed now I look back and realize the blessing of his home comings. Many families were not so blessed as mine. God bless them all!
It would have been better if they took the pic and he was participating at the photo too. Then, while watching the pic, they would notice his presence.
@Alexander Leblanc Ehh I don't think thats the problem as my dark mind for some reason decided to interpret why they scream is because he is a serial killer
Its not just the soldiers that sacrifice to protect us is the families as well so from the Baumann family in Minnesota a very heart felt thank you and god bless each and every one of you
Of all the surprised homecoming vids, i think this is my fave, because everyone in his family was there. Imagine how surprised they were! I watched the vid 3x in a row, i just loved to see all their reactions
This IS what FAMILY is ALL about! Love within all of them for each other and to honor the soldier in the family! Now, the morons that dislike this beautiful video...eehhh...probably DO NOT have this kind of loving family around them. KODOS to this beautiful, healthy, loving group of people that LOVE each other! God bless you ALL!👍🤟👑💓
There's no way of telling morons who dislike this kinda video have no loving family. As a matter of fact, a person who doesn't belong to a loving family is more likely to appreciate this moment. I'd put my money the haters are people who hate the army, hate the US, hate bravery, this kinda thing. The dislikes, I imagine, are by no means related to the family issue.
@@danwesterhouse6627 Hi Dan! I agree with you! I have a close relationship with my brother since birth! We are in our 50s now and remain close! It's a gift from God to have him in my life. We started a Christian ministry together 8 years ago so we work side by side helping others to find the Lord and we care for them with prayer, food, clothes and support. God bless you Dan. Bible name, Daniel! So cool! What a great Bible story with Daniel in the Lions Den! Thanks for your reply. Have a "GOD" night! Peace and Gods Blessings upon you and those you love. Lynne🍃💜🍃
I also love the JOY and LAUGHTER from the videographer! It makes this video extra special! Aww!!! Welcome Home Nate! God bless you all. Peace,Lynne 🍃💜🍃 *My second post! Ha!
It doesn't get any better than that. At the same time I want to express my sincere gratitude to the families that won't get to experience this moment, your sacrifice is not lost upon myself and millions like me.
I just came across this in 2020 and I have no clue how six people can not like this. You people have no heart. This is beautiful and welcome home Nate.
As a member of the British Royal Navy, the only good thing about war is when the survivors get to go home and be safe with their families! There is nothing else good about it.
This really is my favorite of all these videos. They all seem like great people and probably a lot of fun. Plus Nate strolling in with a beer is hilarious to me.
This it what life is all about, spending time with loved ones who miss you when you're not there. The joy on the faces of that family was something to behold.
I did that to my 81year old Mom last year. I flew 1500 miles and was hiding in a restaurant when she came in with her friends ( they were in on it) I went up to her and she looked at me and said table for 5 please!!!! I said "Mom!!" Then she realized it was me and we all laughed! She just didn't register it that I was there....😂😂😂🤓
@Jane Austin I was searching the comments, sure SOMEBODY had to make a comment about this handsome soldier! Agree agree agree! Yes, I would be excited as well! 😉
I wish all military parents and family would have this same joyous meeting with their sons and daughters today and everyday. Some have not had this pleasure.
I feel bad for the lady sitting on the sofa. She was the first one to get up and hug him but that granny in front of her blocked her way and she just cried there.
you'd of thought he was achippendale when they started screaming as he walked in! It must be awesome and beautiful to have a secure loving family like that though, what a blessing
You have my vote on that man - I love the families reaction's as Nate the Soldier walked in after the camera lady said ''THE ONLY THING THAT WILL MAKE THIS PICTURE BETTER''' which the family replied ''IF NATE WAS HERE''. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PS - Hey SOLDIER NATE if you're watching this video and you see my comments here - I just want to say thank you for your service to our country and PLEASE stay safe bro.
Gotta love the way Nate rolls in with 2 beers. 1 for him, and 1 for... him.
Cheers Nate, welcome home.
omg you sent me fucking choking on my own spit jesus christ i cant stop laughing thank you
I had to rewind great catch
So did the other dude

how about his half tucked shirt guy is a legend
Girl in the orange pants wanted to push grandma out the way for a hug 😂😂
Lol
Lmao forreal. It took grandma 30 years to sit down it’ll take about another 30 to get up
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@bigbzylo5777 😂😂
Holy S, i noticed that too, hahahahaha
You can tell that his sister is really fond of him. She immediately said 'If Nate was here" like it's been on her mind the entire time. Gotta love it!
I assumed it was his wife or girlfriend...
@@CurtisEWipe I thought about that as well, but I find that she bears a strong resemblance to him.
Is like she felt his presence

Imagine having this many people happy to see you... I could never

Red Leader checking in.
love the way Americans welcome their troops back and its a big thing for them. /salute to all men who serve you are heros one and all.
Don't forget to all the women
That's because they are close to death each day while serving in hostile area.
It wasn't always this way...

@@leslieaugustine2299 "serving" you mean stealing oil right LOL
I love how that one aunt thinks to give the other guy who entered with him a hug too.
Thats how my best friends family are. If we both show up at a party or wedding or something, i get hugs to.
I've always loved that about families that treat their family members friends like they are part of the family too. These people seem so wholesome.
Aunt Zelda almost got stomped on by the lady sitting on the sofa.
🤣🤣🤣
Bitch tried to push her out of the way.lol
I was thinking "GET OUT OF THE WAY KAREN!"
I think Aunt Zelda is the mom & the lady on the sofa is the sister????
I swear

This is such a good one. It was done well.
Yeah, indeed
In total agreement
🤙🏽👍🏽🙌🏽

,bk
Women scream when I enter the room too, although it's for different reasons.
Same for me the basement is soundproof tho so at least the screams don't leave the room
@Alexander Leblanc Ehh I don't think thats the problem as my dark mind for some reason decided to interpret why they scream is because he is a serial killer
Your comment made me absolutely howl with laughter. Haha! Thanks!
Out of fear?
@@charlottecunningham2141 No, Charlotte, out of disgust. Trust me, I know the feeling...
The moment he walked in, I felt like I was celebrating with them. What a great surprise!
Me too!!!!
Same here
These moments when the soldier returns makes my eyes start to redden, and I don't know why I feel so happy. Thank you for serving the country.
Thank you for your Service Sir. And that big Family. Thank you Everyone!
Its not just the soldiers that sacrifice to protect us is the families as well so from the Baumann family in Minnesota a very heart felt thank you and god bless each and every one of you
Damn. More screaming women than a N'sync concert.
Good one 😊
I Can't Brief you forgot the t after the s
It might sound crazy but it ain't-no-lie,
Baby bye bye bye!
That comment made me feel like I was back in 2001
Lol... 😁
What A Affection 👏👏One can understand so much from Tears drops rolling from family members..
Of all the surprised homecoming vids, i think this is my fave, because everyone in his family was there. Imagine how surprised they were! I watched the vid 3x in a row, i just loved to see all their reactions
His unexpected return makes the whole family happy. I admire that this is a truly united and loving family.

were you the butch or the bitch?
Matt Swaf wtf is that comment dude?
Terri Freeman dam boy thats a lot of caps lock shit. Agree with you though. Atheism ftw.
Nothing better than family.
WELL, THAT WAS AWESOME! Love lifts us all up! May God continue to bless this family.

What a Beautiful Surprise especially for MOM AND DAD. WELCOME HOME NATHAN!!!
I love how the dude in the Navy shirt just left lol.. aaallll those exciting stories he had planned, caput.
He looked so disappointed
That seemed a little weird... Almost like they had beef or maybe he was banging his girlfriend while he was gone (sorry not sorry it happens)
Michael Brown naughty mind... I like it.
His father & biggest cheer leader (hence the shirt). had to leave the room because of his uncontrollable flow of tears..
@@peterw8453 oh please... that’s not his dad. Sentimentalist
That is one biiiig happy & caring family.
The first person he hugs is his dad. Breve, truthful and full of love. That is a proud father
One of the best ones Ive seen…. Thank you for your service!
These videos never get old!!! How is it we feel like we’re there with the families also! ?😁 Happiness is contagious!
It is indeed! ❤️
What a way to truly see how much you really mean to somebody. That was priceless.
I just came across this in 2020 and I have no clue how six people can not like this. You people have no heart. This is beautiful and welcome home Nate.
@Jeff Keeth what did I ever do to you? I don't even know you so please go away and leave me alone
Glad to see you made it home soldier and thank you for your service
I'd enter the room with stone cold's entrance theme.
😂😂😂😂
Man I laughed for a solid minute straight after reading this comment. Picturing that happening would be both hilarious and legendary!
@@BOMOK316 Not until I read your comment I pictured it myself and started laughing as well. :D
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Comment of the day 😂😂😂
What a great surprise! I hope you had a great visit. I think him for his service. Blessed be.
As a member of the British Royal Navy, the only good thing about war is when the survivors get to go home and be safe with their families!
There is nothing else good about it.
You get to kill people which is kind of cool. And use guns and bombs.
Infidel Productionz that’s only when things get bad.
The lucky ones who comeback in one piece and without ptsd
Vullgrim true that
😞
I can really feel the Excitement!! Welcome Soldier!! All my Gratitude!!
Walked in like a boss.. well played
Family be like: "why do we hear boss music?..."
I replay this over and over. so heartwarming. Thank you for your service and God bless you all. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
This really is my favorite of all these videos. They all seem like great people and probably a lot of fun. Plus Nate strolling in with a beer is hilarious to me.
Thank you for ur service sir...my family appreciates you very much
This it what life is all about, spending time with loved ones who miss you when you're not there. The joy on the faces of that family was something to behold.
With pandemic and election dominating the media, it's sure nice to watch something that's heartfelt, honest and positive.
I did that to my 81year old Mom last year. I flew 1500 miles and was hiding in a restaurant when she came in with her friends ( they were in on it) I went up to her and she looked at me and said table for 5 please!!!!
I said "Mom!!" Then she realized it was me and we all laughed! She just didn't register it that I was there....😂😂😂🤓
Nah bro, you should have played along till she figured it. You spoilt half the fun
Well dude, she was 80. Nobody will blame her, but we definitely blame you for spoiling what could have been the best prank of the decade.
Fantastic. You are all so blessed to have such a loving and close family.
I LOVE THESE POSTS!!! RELATIONSHIP IS EVERYTHING!!! BEAU-TI-FUL!!! THANK U 4 SHARING!!!
Such a blessing to have a big and loving family
Such a great reaction! I'd be excited if he walked in too 😁😍🤗
@Jane Austin I was searching the comments, sure SOMEBODY had to make a comment about this handsome soldier! Agree agree agree! Yes, I would be excited as well! 😉
Great minds think alike! 🤩
I remember hugs. And being that close to one another.
And seeing everyone's smiles.
Every Time I See Our Men And Women Come Back To Their Loved Ones My God It Really Mess Me Up Spiritually. Touch Me So Deep.
Best soldier return response yet... hands down! Very well put together
When you're a rock star in the family's eyes...lol.
I want say to this great young man THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU
I wish all military parents and family would have this same joyous meeting with their sons and daughters today and everyday. Some have not had this pleasure.
The love there is clear as day. Good job. And thanks for your service brotha.
If you don't get a little teary-eyed watching this, call your cardiologist in the morning. I never tire of those moments...
THAT WAS AWESOME!
I LOVED IT WHEN NATE TELLS THEM; STOP CRYING!😆
Welcome home nate and thank you for your service.
I feel bad for the lady sitting on the sofa. She was the first one to get up and hug him but that granny in front of her blocked her way and she just cried there.
I think that's his wife.
@@zachstube6309 That's gotta be his sister! They look so much alike they have the same face!
That is a lot of love for one person. Close loving family.
One of the best feelings in the world is to know you're loved and missed...
The best thing about videos like this is rewinding back and observing the reactions of every single person.
The guy in the Navy shirt is like "Who the f*ck is this? " and just leaves the room for good.
"Uh oh, the army guy is home. I better take off my navy shirt."
The Navy guy has been playing the role of Jody lol... He's like time to bounce
Must be a brother-in-law or sumthing
#1 son just walked in and owns it.

Welcome Home Soldier.
Thank you for your service.

I didn't think the lady with scarf was going to let go. I thought everybody else was gonna have to get their hugs in around her.🥰 Happy feelings!🥰
Whoever dislike you are a person with no feelings man
Makes sure your children join, then you too can enjoy these videos.

Nice close family. So many older ones too. This is really nice. Rare. 😭
There is American Joy in that room. God Bless this family filled with love.
tf is american joy supposed to be
I don't know how long i keep on watching this.. I just love the reactions!!!
Who wouldn't be blessed to be part of this family.
What a lovely family.... Lots of love from Maya Nagari Mumbai ...Maharashtra.... India.... Vande Mataram.....
Now that is what i call a family! All the ladies crying and all the man laughing 😂 😂 😂
Now how can you not have a big smile on your face after watching that?! Awesome!
He’s probably thinking “they adore me!” 😂
What a warmhearted family 👍 .
