Military homecomings are the ultimate heartwarming tearjerkers. Remember the surprise visit at a recent football game or the adorable dog welcoming home his soldier owner? We’re tearing up all over again! But don’t let the waterworks flow just yet -- we’re here to bring you a funny behind-the-scenes look at these guys.
