    What an emotional suprise! I really got tears in my eyes (I'm a boy)... she is just a normal girl, he is just a normal man and a soldier for an army, which is the police for the world. This girl is far away from her father, this man is far away from his daughter and his whole family! I'm very happy for them to meet each other at the gradulation of the girl! :) Greets from Germany! :)

    Why is it that the US has more respect for it's serving armed forces than here in the UK? I have been to the US and on every flight, they were allowed on first and treated well?
    Here, they get used and then are not even helped in the slightest once they leave.
