    A very touching story from ABC News.

    Indeed he does deserve a hand. A very touching story. Seeing the Nam vets who america spit on was a very poignant part of story.

    Man that story made me tear up right here in the newsroom. I can't believe that network actually ran something positive dealing with war or American soldiers.

    That was awesome!

    Red, I had the good fortune to be at home on my couch when I watched it. When that one returning GI chokes up, I almost completely lost it.

    Yeah because the war would be going great without lies from the media.

    This one's even more touching. Have a box of tissue or a clean hanky nearby.

    Soldier returns from Iraq and surprises his 6-year-old son at school. If you don't get choked up watching this, you're not human.

    If that didn't sound so much like the sludge troweled out on the Rush Limbaugh show on a daily basis, it would really be funny.

    Damn straight Tony. And of course, a conservative posts this. You'd never heard about this if it were up to certain liberals. I'd hope not, but expect so.
