"Are you her brother?"
"Hello!"
Those kids are adorable. What a sweet video. 😊

"are we on the YouTube now" says a little boy

Possibly the cutest thing a kid has ever said

That one kid LOL "are we on YouTube"

[Cruzan]

That's so sweet. These returning home videos get me every single time.

“Do you work in Area 51?” That had me rolling. Welcome home Chase!!!!

Are we on YouTube now? Are you her brother?🤣
Stories like these are so beautiful! I am a proud mom and daughter of a Marine. I am also a spouse of a Soldier and a teacher. I am so thankful for their service.😍🇺🇸

“Do you wok at awea fifty one?”

So cute

He should have told that kid "Yes, I do work in Area 51, and there really are aliens there. I saw them!" That would have messed with their heads.

extremely thoughtful of Kaylee to have her students to write to Chase during his deployment. That must have been a great morale boost for him during his deployment.
