These men worked long hours for extended periods of times. They worked to fight for our country. They dedicated their lives in order to protect and serve. But while doing so, they missed out on a very important event for themselves, the birth of their child. Take a look at these photos of soldiers seeing and meeting their babies for the very first time.

The look on his face says it all.



Proud daddy moment.


This is just adorable.


Adorable twins supporting daddy.

The moment his life changed forever.


These men dedicated their time, energy, and overall life to fight for our country. But it’s as if the world stopped the second they put their eyes on their beautiful child for the first time. A moment that will forever change their lives.
