I've mentioned before that as a child, I always watched The King Family holiday specials. On their Christmas special, one of the moms sang "I'll Be Home For Christmas" to her son's picture. He was in the army, presumably deployed to Viet Nam. Halfway through her song, he surprised her by walking onstage. I was six years old when it first aired, and didn't understand the concept of reruns, so my best friend Kathleen and I would faithfully watch it year after year to see if they allowed him to come home again!

After years of looking, I finally found a clip. To this day, this song moves me to tears like no other.
