There are thousands of videos online where they capture the excitement and sheer joy families feel when their loved one who is in the military comes home. These videos range from spouses, their kids, family, and even their pets!
Ways that you can show your military guy who happy you are that they have come home
New Baby Signs
Sometimes when your guy is deployed, they are deployed when their wife/girlfriend is pregnant (or she may not even know she is pregnant yet). Here are some cute signs that you can create to introduce your military man to their new child.
Have your child hold one of these signs (or set it up against their stroller):
- Outta My Way! I meet my daddy today!
- Not as skinny as I used to be, come meet your mini-me!
- Hey I just met you and this is crazy, but my name is (baby’s name) and I’m your baby!
- I waited my entire life to meet you! Welcome home daddy!
Welcome Home Signs for Children
