3. I am a man .... I got something in my eye.
A success story. The Big Dog, Al Gore, and the Obama White House get the job done.

4. Wow
Clinton hugging Gore - too sweet. Love how Big Dawg stayed in the background while the families and Gore shared that moment.

20. I lost it when Laura stepped up to the mic and
described how they had beem summoned to a meeting and when they walked into the room they saw President Clinton standing there and knew their nightmare was coming to an end.

Just wow.

22. My tears started
when the mother and child were reunited, and then continued when Lausra spoke about walking in the room and seeing President Clinton. I like happy tears.

26. Loved that moment, too
They did not have any idea what that "meeting" was going to be about. I'm sure they were very anxious. Then, to walk in and see President Clinton...what an amazing series of events.

I'ved shredded one tissue already.

25. Yup....I have 4 and 5 year old daughters so it really touched me to see the little girl and her Mom
reunited.
Plus, when Al Gore gave them both a big hug. And when Laura Ling described seeing Bill Clinton for the first time. All of it.

32. Bawled my eyes out.
As a mother, and as all mothers can, I could totally relate to Euna Lee dropping to the ground to embrace her daughter.

Thank goodness two Americans are home now.
