Dad deserves the attention as well. What an amazing step father. He is Dad.

"If I'm gonna marry her, im gonna marry her whole family" . That's what most people today missed

Stand up guy. Not his by blood but his by love

I LOVE the expressions on their faces on the last homecoming, it's all "Who the HELL is grabbing us!?" And then they realize it's him! Welcome home!

Even though the parents divorced, The parents remained a unit when it comes to their kids. That’s awesome

He is definitely the dad that he didn't have to be!

if a soldier surprised their kid in my school, in front of my school, a USA chant would break out. SO much respect towards theses heros

Awesome daddy right there. Beautiful family and I thank each of them for the sacrifice they give for their father serving. He's a true hero

Too bad they got divorced! Thank you for your service

My dad did that on every one of my birthdays up until he died.

That dad has two gorgeous daughters. Watch out fellas, i'm sure that he's very protective of his little girls.

divorcing has become so easy for the people just like buy something, dont like it give it back..respect them for loving their kids even after that

The twins are just so positive. It looked like they brung a bunch of joy to the world.

This video was funded, produced and shot with the generous help of the makers of Kleenex tissue.

I can't get enough of these homecoming videos. 😭

I’m not crying.. my eyes are just sweating... DONT LOOK AT ME

Two beautiful young ladies! I would love to have 2 daughters just like them. Although divorced, parents are very supportive of their kids. Good for them!

I like that that the parents stayed friends even after the divorce. It helps the kids immensely. My parents stayed friends after they divorced and it help me get through some tough times because of it.

That’s one amazing Father right there💙♥️

My two sisters and I were adopted by a childless aunt and uncle when our father was killed during WWII, and our mother took off. It was a life-long blessing for all of us because there were no better parents on the face of the globe and we were blessed by ending up with them, and successful adults, with one teacher, another a Registered Nurse, and me as a Graduate Professor. Otherwise, we would have been mired is a very dysfunctional family. This reminds me of that situation, and Cody is definitely a REAL man, and fatherhood is what that demands. God bless him and the girl’s’ mother in bringing them up in the Spirit of the Lord!

What beautiful girls they did a great job in raising the twins .....well done

He is AWESOME DAD, AWESOME GIRLS, AWESOME MOM and family!!! God bless this wonderful family!!!

Having no military parent, I can't begin to know the heartbreak OR happiness of a moment like this. Thank you for your service, ALL of you.

It was so awesome, when the dad came up from behind the girls. They were totally surprised.

These stories are special. Families being reunited after long military deployments. It's just a good thing to watch 😊

the twins is so pretty! and they are only 17... holy moly..

You are good dad or father everybody said it . Thank you for your service and keep are country safe.

They're the embodiment of a great family. You can tell how much they love their dad.

A tearful reunion.😢 "Thank You" sir for serving our country.❤👍😊

Gorgeous young ladies

Two of my kids are adopted. It is a true blessing honestly. We have a big family and lots of love to pass around.

Their video is really inspiring. They showed us that being miles apart wouldn’t mean that it is impossible for parents to attend the most special moments of their kids. Congratulations to this beautiful cheer-leading twin who received a beautiful surprise from their coach.

That last hug opened the flood gates. God bless him for doing this for our country. We appreciate you beyond words. I found it amazing he could pull off these surprises too, it meant so much to those girls:)

They're beautiful!!!

This is what a family is supposed to be. As a single mom I can say the more people who love children the better those babies will be. I have been so blessed that my chosen family has loved my children like their own. Even with separation, they continue to love my babies and show up for them. This is a beautiful story.

Those of us from the Vietnam era didn't even dare to wear fatigues in civilian society. We were treated like trash, so these kids today don't know how lucky they are not to have insults yelled at them.

Who Could/Would Dislike This Video ?!?! Thank You, and Your Whole Family for Your Service Sir 💯💞❤💙🎗

I've watched this video every time it pops up two beautiful young ladies love there "POPS" THANK YOU FOR YUR SERVICES 🎶🎶🎶

I really appreciate videoes like when military men and women surprised their children and family. Both of my brother and dad and uncles were In the Military

Two beautiful girls and parents who love them. What can be better than that?

I loved when the announcer yelled surprise. and the guy looks like he could be his adopted daughters brother rather then their father.

I LOVE Watching These Videos Of Soldiers Coming Home To Surprise They’re Families And Loved Ones, It Warms My Heart Up No End💖

Hi all folks:i have watched this video so many times over n over time after time and every time my eyes get very moist-"IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL" AND I'M A "75YR/OLD" AUSSIE".

They are beautiful young ladies Thank you for your service !!!! Never forget the step dad can be the father you need and want ......

Pretty awesome story...glad to see this is in our backyard. Way to go dad.

BEAUTIFUL twin girlz n tell dad thank u for his services

Thank you . You made my day watching this I love seeing our men and women in the military come home to their love ones safe and sound 🇺🇸👍🏽

It's nice see how much you love your daughters .I know you miss them when a really lots when your gone. Now while your home 🏡.enjoy them and have lots of fun seeing them also being with them too .It's nice to see your 📷📸📸.

Much respect to this guy not only bc of his service but the way he fathers those girls

What an amazing story! God bless!

The Girls are so Beautiful. Lucky to have a Father like him.

Beautiful story! They loved him and trusted him with their mom and their lives since day 1 when he done the same for them! This is what I love too see..and we should all be very grateful and blessed what we have in our lives..cherish and treasure every single moment with our loved while we all are still here together! GOD Bless!❤

What an amazing step dad..... just shows you dont have to be the biological parent to be a true dad ♡♡♡♡♡ Respect for this dad♡

4:07, the look they gave each other melted my heart

Thank you, Sir, for your service...and thanks to your family for their sacrifices!!!!

Incredibly beautiful girls! I'm very impressed by Cody Kimberly's ability to connect so deeply with these girls considering their age when he came into their lives. It takes some very special kind of person to manage to do that. You know that if he didn't truly love these girls and has been above and beyond good to them, they would not love him this deeply back.

WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY!! SO INSPERATIONAL! GOD BLESS THAT FAMILY💜

I am a Naval veteran. I don't have kids myself. I love to see stories like this as I know first hand what service families go thru. Great story girls. Good luck with you cheer careers. I am a devout Notre Dame fan but I will pull for Mizzou when I watch them play. Just as long as your not playing against Navy or my Irish. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Good luck girls and God bless.

Now that's amazing. He is standing by as there dad, and he is fighting for are country. He truly is amazing person. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Made me cry but we need to bring the rest of them and home I don't spend time with their family for a while and Happy Thanksgiving to all

They probably are looking around when they are on camera.. those homecoming surprises are awesome. And I cry with them every time!

Love these stories!! He looks more like their brother!

My mom served for 22yrs. I am so Happy she wasn't Deployed!!!

I'm 3rd generation military. I served active duty in Fort Ord, California in Army. Thanks for your service and I'm proud of you all

this is awesome! and im from st joe too so this made it even better! what a great family and great dad!

Thank you for your service!

I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was 19.......these types of videos bring such joy as you see ppl being suddenly and unexpectedly reunited with loved ones and for those of us who are true born again believers and belong to Christ this is just a taste of the reunion in glory we’ll be experiencing! Oh how Joyous it will be to see our loved ones who have gone on before us as 1 Thessalonians 4 tells us that the dead in Christ are going to rise!!!!!! Hallelujah! And what a day that will be!!!!! But on the other hand we live in such a life that is full of uncertainties and sometimes bad unexpected moments! You might have had those unexpected moments such as perhaps you have just lost a loved one or perhaps are facing some fiery trial right now but just know that if you truly belong to Christ then no matter what you are faced with he promises he will never leave nor forsake us! In 2 Corinthians 12:9 Paul pled with God three times to remove the thorn in his flesh but instead God answered my Grace is sufficient for you and my power is made perfect in weakness! Look to the Holy Spirit who is your comforter and he will comfort you in all your afflictions! However if you don’t know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not! And in that case you will be forever separated from the Grace and mercy of Jesus and unfortunately no surprise reunions then!!!!! Folks you are not promised tomorrow! If you want to know how to be saved from this horrible reality then please by all means don’t hesitate to comment right back so I can lead you to the savior! 2 Corinthians 6:2 clearly states “now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation!” And Hebrews 3:15 clearly states, “Today if you hear his voice don’t harden your hearts! It is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious gospel......John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! It’s like if you’re in court you’ve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know I’ve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear you’re a good judge and so I know you’ll be fair to me...... the judge is going to reply well yes you’re right about one thing I am a good judge and because I’m a good judge I’m going to see to it that you’re punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you don’t even know comes forward and says you know what I know he’s committed the crime he’s committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really don’t want to see him go to prison so I’ll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer you’d be free to leave the courtroom but if you didn’t well you’d be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well that’s exactly how it was 2,000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I don’t want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For it’s with the heart we believe and it’s with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and we’ve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I don’t want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminal’s death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 you’re an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and it’s him that’s it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!

Great surprise for these young ladies, they knew when someone grabbed them and picked them up that only one person in the world does that, and it is Dad! These are special times, been there and hope they are all doing well! Semper Fidelis

Such a beautiful reunion, even though it has a very sad side.

Sometimes things don't work out, but the children still need both of you. Awesome story!!

when he went behind them and picked them up. There faces were priceless.

Lovely people💕 so happy, I’m sorry mum and dad are divorced but it’s so nice to see that they are both just as loving towards all 3 children. Such beautiful girls I won’t be surprised if they end up starring in the movies🙏🏻🌸wishing lots of luck and love for their future🙏🏻💕😌
