I remember looking at my firstborn for the first time, I think I stared for about 8 minutes without blinking...

This feeling cannot be replicated, repeated or even portrayed by a world class actor. It is unique and incredible. This individual should be happy that it was forever captured by an extremely well timed photograph.

Don't know why ill post this but this was my explanation to my parents when they asked why I have been so distant.

"Well I'm not sure what your getting at?

Like the things that bother me from the military? That the 19 year old kid who sat right next too me in school and who I saw before he deployed, died within a year of us graduating. That I saw a good friend of mine come back distraught explaining to me that he was the one who tried to save his life, that he was blown into pieces and no matter what they tried, couldn't do anything but see him die. The fact that that easily could have been anyone of the 200 of us who graduated from that class.

Or the Instructor in school who we all looked up too and respected volunteered to go into Afghanistan and died after getting hit by a IED on the 14th month of a 15 month deployment.

Dealing with borderline psychotics suffering from severe PTSD on a everyday basis. Working in mental hospitals with war veterans who had been forgotten about. That war isn't the bullshit that they talk about on the news but actually has costs of emotional and physical damage that far exceed any financial amount you could imagine and to have to see it take its toll on people you care about.

That dealing with the VA is a harder process then they tell you when you get out.

Do i need to continue? I went through a lot and I don't even know where to start to explain that I am a different person now. I haven't been close to you because I don't want you to know about some of this stuff and don't know where to start with how to be a son to you guys again and not some distant relative"

What is it with all the pictures of soldiers with babies lately?

katherinejoann · 1 year

I don't know how to feel about this photo... I'm glad he made it home alive, but his poor girl/wife/ladybird... The months alone at home waiting, and gestating, and worrying. The thought of giving birth without him there, that must have been tough.

The_Russian · 1 year

Truly touching.. I hate that the first thought that this brought me was "I hope that its actually his..".

dupecheck · 1 year

One of the best pictures I have seen in a very long time. No scumbag steve here, just a real man looking at this beautiful daughter for the first time.

I remember holding my daughter for the first time, no feeling is better.

That is really sweet picture. Awe.

[deleted] · 1 year

This room is dusty. Or maybe I have something in my eyes.

They all look too young to me to be in the line of fire. I want all our young men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan to come home. It breaks my heart.

Come home soon, you wonderful young ones. We miss you.

juhugafuga · 1 year

Do you understand that on the other end of the spectrum of this photo is one in which a father or mother never will return to meet their first-born child?

exflashkick · 1 year

He doesn't even look like an adult himself : /

dalittle · 1 year

Really brings home why the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan need to be ended.

maneater5 · 1 year

Is it just me, or does he look more scared shitless than he does young?

lkohl09 · 1 year

Wow really everyone??? I cant believe the comments some of you left. Idk how this pic got here but this is MY husband and daughter. He was 21 at the time. He'd just got home from 4 1/2 months of training in the air force. He couldn't come home for the birth so this was his first time actually holding her. Some of you take such a nice thing and try to ruin it.

clamb · 1 year

And now he goes to risk his life in some bullshit war. Sad

secretchimp · 1 year

This is why the armed forces are bad for families. My girlfriend's ex (father of the kid) has only been around for about a quarter of his child's life due to constant redeployments.

great. this would be way more touching if he was in a wheelchair.

hamsterdave · 1 year

Really? You guys are going to take a photo of a father meeting his child for the first time and turn it into an excuse to spew whatever anti-government/anti-war/anti-military crap you can conjure up, because he's wearing a uniform and was working for his family? You don't even know where he was. He could have been in Korea, Japan, Alaska, any number of places where he wasn't involved with the war.

And if your contention is that the military is inherently evil and being in the military makes people inherently evil, you're incredibly naive.

If you want to argue the ethical fine points of the world's geopolitical circumstances, there's a /politics and /military for that.

Soulless bastards.

eelehton · 1 year

Absolutely stunning. You have to admire a man who fights for what he believes in and a woman who goes through child birth by herself to support that.

vetmom · 1 year

He looks very young, my first thought, too, but I bet he could kick every single one of our butts, and I bet he has seen things that would make us all puke.

yoonssoo · 1 year

What is up with all the shitty comments in here? Holy fuck guys there's 100 other threads to fill up with your anti-war bullshit, can't we get one touching moment around here without all the douchebaggary?

Shame that baby won't be seeing much of him.

ddmeightball · 1 year

Can anyone tell me what the band is around the baby's head? Is it just to designate gender or just a fashion accessory...for a baby?

Dubaus · 1 year

I keep coming back to look at this. It is just amazing.

hookeslaw · 1 year

I just hope the child doesn't make any sudden, loud noises.

TLGJames · 1 year

Looks like the typical Air Force person. Join, get married too young, have kid, divorce by 2nd enlistment. Sad but true. I'm in the AF so I do speak with a bit of experience.

Or option 2

Wife has kid, gains 200 lbs, pushes cart around commissary with screaming kids, talks about how hard it is.

My coworkers and I have a thing for squadron picnics, it's called meet my fat wife.
