See adorable momemt 3 yr old interrupts homecoming procession to hug his mother after her 9month tour of Afghanistan

This is the adorable moment a 3 year old boy ran into the arms of his mother after not seeing her for months as she and other soldiers stood in line waiting to finally be dismissed so they could re-unite with their families after serving in Afghanistan for 9 months. 

As soldiers stood in line, 3 year old Cooper Waldvogel ignored the strict military protocol, ran up to the troops and into his mother's arms, who was so happy to scoop him up. Other soldiers tried to keep straight faces because they'd been ordered not to interact with family members as they stood in line, but they later said it was the most adorable thing they'd ever seen. See the photos after the cut...



25 year old Kathryn Waldvogel,  a member of the National Guard, told USA Today;
"I was longing to hold him, that's all I thought about. It just melts my heart'.

It's an honour to serve
To join in the fight
To lift up my voice
And to lay down my life
Giving glory to God
Seeking non in return
It's an honour, an honour to serve.

May God bless our soldiers serving in the north-eastern part of Nigeria too.

Tears in my Eyes. My aunt had to go for a three month compulsory immigration training and i had to look after her six month old son till he was one year, after his mum settled down, she came to pick him. I never saw him until he was about two years old. He refused me to touch yet alone carry him. I was climbing up the stairs few hours later when he jumped outta his mums bossom and shouted Auntieee. I cried. Trust me, i know this feeling.

This moment reminds me of the homecoming song " And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A." Its a memorable moment to those whose families are in USA army....Happy moment when you see your loved ones and sad moment when you received their corpse.

Reading this post brought so much tears in my eyes and took me down memory lane when my husband got back from his 400 days deployment to Afghanistan I thought I was a strong army wife until broke down in tears when we hugged in front of so many people it was so hard for me leaving for his deployment barely a month after our wedding.
