384 Comments on *CLOSED* A Father’s Day Salute and Giveaway to Military Dad from Sam’s Club

  1. My husband is such an amazing dad, he has taken on so many challenges! With our lives transitioning from the end of his deployment, he def deserves a shiny new gadget to show how much we love him! Thanks Army wife 101 and Sam’s Club!!

  2. My husband is a good father because no matter how busy he is with work he always make sure he is home to get our son ready for bed and read him a story. He makes sure that our son always hears his voice before he falls asleep at night too, even if he’s working nights. When he comes home from work he goes to our son first and gives him loving and plays with him even before he goes and changes out of his uniform. This is why I think my husband is a great father!!!!

  3. My husband is a great dad! He’s very family oriented and loves taking the kids out to places or watching movies with them. Family time is very important to him.

  4. My husband is a great Step Dad he is always there for our girls no matter how tired he is he always helping them with homeworks. Every time he goes out he brings them a little gift from we’re he is. He’s always talking to them and giving them advice, they are teenagers.

  5. My husband is the best father! He is Mr mom he does anything and everything for our children! He has the most patience, when i’m going crazy he’s like come on they’re kids they’re supposed to drive you crazy! Really?! LOL Besides all that he is a very hard worker he is currently deployed but doesn’t let the distance affect his relationships with the kids. We love him very much we can’t wait til he’s back home!

  6. My husband is an amazing Dad! He has been our family rock even when he’s on a mission or deployment. He has ensured our kids are taken care of and are ready for the real world –which will be in just a couple years. When I think back at how much he missed of their lives, it breaks my heart but I know he always has a positive attitude and does all he can to make up for it! Our kids adore their father! I would love to suprise him with a new gadget! ;-)

  7. My husband is an amazing father because when I had to be in the hospital 2 weeks after having our daughter and then a week after that he stepped up to the plate and was Mr. Mom for the first 6 weeks of her life. I couldn’t have asked for a better husband or a dad for our daughter.

  8. My hubby is an AMAZING father. Starting from when our oldest was first born he always worked hard. He was going to school, working *slept VERY little* and always made sure that all of his free time was spent with us! He’s the type to work all day come home, build a fort a watch movies all night with our boys. We have 3 little ones now and he is STILL the best Dad ever! We are so lucky!

  9. Oh lord. He is great father because he is kind yet firm. I love that he teaches our daughters so many different things in life. He does the laundry in our house, and usually the vacuuming. Sometimes the cooking too ;) We joke that when its time to for the girls to find a boyfriend, they will be looking for guys who do all that too. Hey, isn’t that what every girl wants? ;)

  10. My husband is an AMAZING dad! He missed the first year of our daughters life, but still made every effort to make sure she knew him and knew how much he loved her! Now that we are all together and have added another little sweety to our bunch daddy makes sure to spend as much time as possible with our girls even on the busiest of days. He is their favorite person and they laugh and play for ever. It’s the sweetest thing to see them together and see how much they love each other. My husband always sacrifices of himself to make sure the girls and I are always taken care of so it would be really fun to spoil him for once! Thanks Army Wife 101 and Sam’s Club!!

  11. My husband has been the best father to our 3 children that I could have ever have hoped for. The sacrifices he has made for our family to have every possible advantage melts my heart. He chose to stay in the Army after his initial enlistment because it offered the best future for our family at that point. Due to deployments, training, and mission essential duties he hasn’t been able to be there for every thing including births, but when he is home he hasn’t missed one activity, game, or concert. He would rather spend 1 night home with the me and the kids than 1 week away without them.

  12. My husband is an awesome Dad because he plays with our kids like a big kid himself. He injured his leg a few years ago on a deployment, so running is incredibly difficult for him and he walks with a limp. He doesn’t let that stop him from playing with our little ones. At the park he is always the Dad on the play equipment with the kids or going down the slide with our toddlers. There is no sitting on the sidelines for him. He may pay for it later with pain, he will never complain that he is too tired or sore to play because he loves his kids.

  13. What an awesome giveaway, Thanks to Sam’s and AW101! My husband definitely ranks in the top of the best dad list. He is selfless, gentle, motivated and dedicated to ensuring that our children learn those values. He knows the satisfaction earned by working hard, helping others and will always give his last dollar to a hungry person on the street. He’s dedicated his time to children whose dads aren’t always around and taught them sports, how to ride bikes and how to reel in a fish. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to brag about him, he’s amazing!

  14. I love my husband so much!! He is a great father to our two year old. He stepped right up from the beginning and did his fair share of work. Never complained about poopy diapers and chaned his fair share of them. I love the fact that I never have to worry about him not wanting to watch my son. After a long hard day at work he still will watch my son when I go to the gym or whenever I ask him to. Happy fathers day to the man I love!!

  15. We dont have kids yet, but I believe my husband will be a great dad. He didn’t have a true father figure while he was a kid. But he talks about the kind of dad he wants to be (and probably wanted as a child) all the time. Going camping, doing homework, doing educational projects together, and telling the child he loves him/her everyday – and really mean it (that part makes me cry for him every time he says it).

    Thank you so much for the giveaway!!

  16. This is really a great giveaway!! I know everyone of these entry’s are most likely very deserving so thank you for this opportunity..I believe my husband is a great father because- he has been though it all deployments, TBI, schools, and now he is recruiting and through it all he has always been our rock. He never misses a chance to play baseball with our 5 year old son and loves to teach and help him grow into a good respectful person. He always puts his family first and strives to support and better his family. I am proud to say I could not wish for a better father for our son! I hope he gets chance to recieve something special in return!

  17. My husband is a terrific dad! He is kind, caring and takes a valid interest in everything our 4 children do! He always puts their happiness first and is always there for them to go to for anything. I am honored to be his wife and to share our beautiful children with him.

  18. My husband is an AMAZING father !! He always takes time with the kids no matter how tired he is !! He also makes sure that he does stuff with each one individually so that they can feel special & have some quality “Dad” time !!

  19. Growing up with out a dad, my husband Is scared about having kids just because he thinks he won’t be a fit father… He loves kids and our pet dog; Chanel. He treats her like a kid even more! The love and affection he shows to our niece and nephews, I know he will make a wonderful dad. He has a heart of gold and really good patience. One day when our time comes I know he will be a great dad.

  20. My husband is a dedicated father. He gets in the tub with our 2yr old to help ease his fear of water. He plays with our older 2 sons until they are just exhausted! Creating memories to last through the upcoming deployment and beyond!

  21. My husband is an amazing dad to his daughter. She lights up every time she sees his face!

  22. My hubby is amazing dad to our children! He is gone so much but when he is home and I know he’s exhausted he will play outside with them and roll around wrestling. On the one day off he’ll let me sleep in and wake up with our infant son! He even does laundry! I’m a lucky duck

  23. My husband is an AMAZING Farther! He is a hands on type Dad who is not afraid to change a REALLY dirty diaper, clean up a messy toddlers room, or even just snuggle and read a book to her. We are excepting a new little girl due on the date he is set to deploy for the first time. I am not sure who is going to swaddle her, because he is seriously the BEST Swaddler I have ever met!!! It’s like a perfect Baby Girl Burrito when he is finished!!! We are going to miss him VERY much when he is gone.

  24. My husband is an amazing dad because he everyday shows us love, he always told me from the day that we found out I was pregnant with our 1st child that he would give parenthood his 1000% because he grew up fatherless. It is amazing to see the changes in him and the happiness in his heart just when he interacts with the kids, he didn’t have the best up bringing but he is breaking that cycle in the way he is with our children. He does and sacrifices any and everything so that our 2 year old and 10 month old can have the world. His true love is music and I know this tablet will give him that much more of access to something that he loves so I pray that he gets picked, even if we don’t I know all the men are great ones to serve our country the way they do so Happy Fathers Day to all and thank you for the opportunity Krystal & Sam’s Club :)

  25. My husband is such an amazing husband & father he has worked very hard to provide for us all, My sister passed away & he stepped up to help raise my nephew! My kids & I all think we have the most awesome dad ever. Even through his deployments he kept up with the boys and even helped them with their homework via skype. I could not have asked for a better father for my children! Hope everyone has a wonderful Fathers Day! God Bless & thank you Sams club & Army wife 101

  26. Because God made him that way :) He is not selfish and like all other military fathers he says good bye every few years missing birthdays, christmas, and milestones so he can unselfishly serve his country. He does what he does to serve the US and to serve and provide for us. When he is home he makes it a point to make up for everything that he missed …

  27. My husband is an amazing father of six Army Brats :) Even with all of the travel and deployments, he manages to stay connected to them and their lives.

  28. My husband was recently blessed with fatherhood on memorial weekend. It is amazing to see him interact with his son. Even at such a young age my husband enjoys talking to our child, loving and playing with him. When coming home from work the first thing he does is run to the baby, pick him up and love on him. I am such a lucky mother to have such a wonderful and caring husband. Our next deployment will be the first since the baby has been born. It will be difficult but we are army strong just like the rest of the military families. God bless and protect our military fathers and god bless the USA.

  29. My husband is an all around great father! Even when he has been out in the field at work since the crack of darn he will come home and make time to play with his little girl, regardless of how tired he is! He is like a little kid himself so when it comes time for play time he is just the best! I couldn’t have asked for a better father to my daughter!

  30. My husband is such an amazing dad to our two boys. Even after a long day at work he still finds the energy to go outside and play football with our 2 year old. He has always put his family first and I couldn’t ask for a better best friend or daddy to my babies!

  31. Not enough space to tell you why I think my husband is such a wonderful father. He is always there for our daughters and put their needs first before his. According to our daughters: he takes them to the mall even though he hates shopping; he always do the right thing; he makes the best BBQ and he helps them learn stuff!!!

  32. My husband is a great dad because he always takes time out to spend with our kids no matter how busy he is at work!

  33. My husband is a wonderful dad to two little girls. He adores their every move and prides himself on being the best father. I love watching him with them, and I fall more and more in love with him when I see him with his girls.

  34. Although we have not been blessed with Children yet, I know my husband whould make an exceptional father!! He is a strong, courageous, man of faith, who is not afraid to show it. He is also a giant kid at heart. Everytime we are anywhere, kids of all ages, just naturally flock to him. Little girls smile and blush at him, kids in our apartment complex can’t wait for him to come to the pool each weekend, because they know he will be there for hours having fun with them, because he genuinely wants too! They way he is with his nieces & nephews, is incredible! He truly has a lot of love to give! And any child would be blessed to have him in their lives.

  35. That’s simple, he is a great father because he is 100% involved in his children’s lives, he listens to them, tells them he loves them everyday and is always there for them. He is never too busy or too tired to spend time with them and when he is far away, he always finds a way to show them that daddy is still here for them and is listening, be it a letter or a recorded card or my daughters favorite, a recorded bedtime story. He makes it seem like he is never away from them even when he is thousands of miles away. That’s why I feel he is the greatest dad to our kids. :D

  36. We have yet to stay pregnant but my husband will be an incredible father for so many reasons. He takes the.children of our friends so we can have girl lunches. And when he can babysits for our incoming frg briefings. He reads on what children at various ages need and is so patient with them! He is so kind and gentle and will take any opprtinity to help.someone out over a night out with his guys

  37. My husband is an amazing father! He takes the time to share his interests with our boys. There is nothing sweeter than seeing their heads together while he teaches them new things!

  38. My husband is an amazing father. My daughter’s biological father didn’t want anything to do with her, so he adopted her and treats her just like his own! :)

  39. My husband is amazing father because he always puts our family first. His love and support inspires us to be a strong family and also sets a good example for our children.

  40. My husband and I don’t have children yet. We are TTC but it may just not be our time yet. I know my husband will be a fantastic father, he is such a softy when it comes to children. He loves on our friends children as if they were our own, he is so kind and loves nothing more than the sound of a baby giggling. I can’t wait to make him a father and hope that our turn comes soon. <3

  41. My husband is the most caring, kind hearted person I know. He wil be so patient and understanding with our kids and will yuk love them with all of his heart. I can’t wait to see m husband with our kids.

  42. My husband is the greatest father a child could have. He reads to them before bed time, plays legos, gives bear hugs, and always makes sure they have everything they need and more! He is the father that buys bookoo of toys for birthdays and Christmas. He takes them to Chuck E Cheese, water park, plays catch, and best of all he is there for them 24/7.

  43. Hes fighting to ensure not only our children’s freedom but our children’s children’s freedom!

  44. My husband is a great dad. when he came home from deployment he went right
    back to helping. he takes her to the sitter for me and he’ll
    always help me get her ready and is just always there

  45. My husband is a good day for many reasons. The biggest is he took my son who was 6 at the time, and treated him as his own. My son’s biological father was never around much of the time(and still isn’t, 7 years later) My husband (bf at the time) would babysit my son while I worked, and has always treated him as if they had the same blood line. Then, when we had our daughter, he became even more of the proud father. I don’t think i could ask for a better dad.

  46. Because no matter where he is at in the world he always reaches out and makes our Boys feel loved and special!

  47. My husband is a great Dad because even when he’s deployed, he remembers his family. He hides notes around the house, sends mail when he can, and emails as often as possible. When he’s home, he makes sure to spend time with everyone and put in a little extra help around the house! He’s a great Dad and husband!

  48. My husband is a really great dad. He has come along with with his injuries sustained in Iraq. (He was in a dark place for a long time.) He is coming around more and more and doing things he loves with our only son. The share the same interests including building lego sets, reading and playing video games. I couldn’t ask for a better man to be my son’s father.

  49. My husband is an amazing father!!! After our first daughter was born I had a bit of postpartum depression and when he got home from being in training he took over completely and made me feel completely better. He works very hard being an infantryman and providing for his family. His daughter is his spitting image and his whole world. I don’t know what I would do without him.
