Marine Meets Newborn Son For First Time — If He's Crying, There's No Hope For the Rest of Us

There's no question that Marines are some of the toughest humans on the planet, so when one of them openly weeps? Well, it tends to bring out the waterworks in everyone watching.

When Cpl. Brandon Crespo returned home from a six-month deployment, he was greeted by friends and family and one very special person — his one-month-old son, Noah, whom he had yet to meet until that very moment.

As soon as the marines were dismissed at the base in Jacksonville, NC, a video shows Brandon running toward his wife, Frances, who was holding baby Noah along with a sign that read, "Out of My Way! I Meet My Daddy Today!" Before Brandon can even scoop up his child, he drops his hat and starts wiping the tears from his eyes. He can't stop crying as he holds his baby for the very first time. (Go ahead, grab some tissues.)

It was a truly beautiful moment — one that Brandon and Noah will get to treasure forever.
