These are very emotive. He's so young.

In the last 19 years, the longest my wife and I have been apart is 10 days. I can't imagine how difficult this must be for them.

Only 10 days?!?! WOW!! I've been married just over three years and I wish I could say we have only been apart for 10 days! I've gone up to three weeks without my husband while he toured the country. He's driven 16 hours round trip just to spend 24 hours with me to drive back to go back to work.

But onto the pictures... Soldier's homecomings always have a special place in my heart, their selfless sacrifice (and that of the spouses they leave behind) will never cease to amaze me. I'm not a supporter of war, I don't believe that violence is the answer, but each one of then signed on the dotted line knowing what sacrifice they were literally signing up for. They are all over there by choice. Excellent job capturing those sweet moments when wives see their husbands home. It's one thing knowing they're coming home, it's another feeling them in your arms again.

Thanks Mike!

I appreciate the comments and the support!! I can't wait to work with more military families. I'm working on setting things up now.

Thanks so much! It was a very powerful experience. I had a pretty serious cry when it was all over!
