Alison could not hold her tears as she watched them hugging each other tightly.

Moments like that make us realize how much military men sacrifice. They spend time in deployment without a chance to be with their families and see the kids grow, missing little milestones, as their first words and their first steps.

Ron Durbin is allowed to spend less than a year with his family before his next deployment. Hopefully, he will cherish every moment of it!
