Great job of showing the troops AND their families holding down the fort at home. Did you see the little preview of next week's show? That little girl? It's gonna be wild! LOL

I caught this show last night on the re-run and have to say that it was a good one. the stories about the twin brothers was an awesome one. Glad to see that they both made it home, espeically after being hit in the back with a dud mortar round. That guy was extremely lucky to make it out alive that day.

Indeed, he's lucky. Obviously he has a higher purpose to fulfill.
The preview for next week....with the dad in the big box and that little girl cracked me up.
Loved the show...bawled my eyes out.

I saw that preview and though how neat that was and at the risk of being called a pansy, shows like this tend to bring a tear to my eye as well. I love to watch the families be re-united, especially when there are children at home.
I did not realize that this was going to be a show, I thought it was going to be along the lines of "Off To War" where they did 2 or 3 episodes. I look forward to seeing more of these reunions.

Told you so! The goodbye scene with the young Iraqi boy and the SGT and his family was a killer... I love this show.

me and my wife watched it on monday, and I'm not saying a stealy eyed barrel chested freedom fighter, got all mushy, but after the show I did go in and look in on my daughter.

After watching and reading all the stories about wounded and killed soldiers I was ready for a show like this.

This weeks was a good one. I really got a kick out of the dad who wrapped himself up as a present. The oldest boys reaction was touching, as soon as he realized what was going on and that it was dad he was climbing over that box to get to him.
