I have had a few of these occasions myself, reunions like this are always sweet. Those seasons of separation seemed to last forever.
My brother has reenlisted. He served 8 years in the Navy, got out and had a high paying job but when the economy went south, so did his job opportunities. Needing to feed his family and feeling the call to serve again he reenlisted at 42. This picture was up at the units Facebook page and we all guessed it was him until he confirmed it. I suggested that the only way we could tell if it was him is if it was oozing love. He has 8 children, one grandchild and of course a wife. Here he is getting reacquainted with being a warrior.

Those videos knock me out…lots of tears.

What a nice story about your brother, he sees what he has to do and he’s doing it..for his family and for us.
As for ‘oozing with love’…it’s oozing with love alright

Ray, I’m sitting here with tears running down my face, but they are the good type. Thanks for posting.
We will hold your bro up in prayer. The Coles…..patriots, great Americans and damn fine people.
(Sorry I’ve been silent…. bit of hospital and etc. All is good. I’ll call this weekend.)
