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

1. My husband is an amazing father! I was a single mother of 3 and never thought I could find someone like him. He takes care of my three boys, all responsiblility and loves them as his own. He says they are his children. He always makes sure they have everything they need and are well taken care of. When he’s away on training or other military stuff he helps them stay positive and in good spirits. He’s very positive and always spends as much time with the boys as he can while at home. He helps around the house with everything and is a good role model for our children. Over all he’s so much more then amazing!

2. My sweet husband is an amazing father. He has two children from a previous relationship and another with me. He doesnt always get to see his other two children, but when he is with them, a second hasnt past. They pick up right where they left off. When he gets home from work, my 7 month old goes crazy! He is ready to get to his daddy because they keep a routine. Every day after work, its daddy and KJ time. They go upstairs to play while daddy gets out of his uniform. This is their special bonding time and sometimes when Im home, I sit silently on the stairs and watch them interact together. The relationship between a boy and his father is so beautiful to watch. My husband hasnt deployed since we have had my little one and I give props to the other Army wives out there because losing those special bonding moments between a father and child are hard on the entire family! If you are lucky to have your husband near for father’s day, celebrate Father’s day with him like he is deploying tomorrow!

3. My husband is a great Dad to our 4 kids. When times got tough out in the civilian world, he sacrificed a lot by joining the Army to make sure our children were well taken care of. He enjoys bike riding with our oldest daughter, bed time stories for our youngest 2 girls, and has an amazing connection with our son who is autistic. He is able to get through to him when no one else seems to be able to. We are getting ready for his first deployment in the fall. It will be tough on all of us but the family is so proud of Dad and all he has accomplished. <3 !

4. My husband is a good father because he is patience and kind to our kids. He also knows how to relate to them on a kids level. He gives them piggy back rides, plays monopoly with them and reads to them. And mostly because he loves them all the same and spends individual time with each, and with us having 3 kids that is time consuming

5. My husband and Soldier is a terrific dad because he keeps us laughing and he keeps us focused. Our lives are neater and more interesting when he is around, and we feel more secure. Through his efforts in going back to school, he is also showing our kids what hard work and dedication look like.

6. My husband is such a great dad! Our kids are grown and even now he still buys them cars and fixes them for them, lets them stay with us till they get on their feet, and helps them with anything they need. He’s a very hard worker and often sets a standard with work that he does! He sets a great example for our daughter and our son by treating me with respect and love and still kisses, hugs and tells me he loves me and how beautiful I am (even though I don’t think I am) lol…..every day. He has also taught our children the value of work and doing things right. He says if your gonna do it do it right. I see so much of him in our kids. They are both kind, loving, talented, hard working, and gorgeous. They get it all from their dad. My husband can do anything and is not afraid to attempt something that he does not know how to do. Another thing the kids get from their dad. We have been married 23 years and he sets a good example for our kids by having a great relationship with their mom. He’s also very honest sometimes brutally honest and will tell you something even if you don’t wanna hear it. This is how my daughter is. He is just the best dad ever and I can’t imagine ever having anyone else as the father of my children!

7. My husband is an amazing father to our five beautiful children. From the time they were born he would get up with them,change diapers, feed them you name it. And even now as they are teenagers he supports everything they do and he is the one cheering the loudest. Even when he is deployed he makes sure he tells them how important they are to him. He has never let a day go by that he doesn’t tell them how he feels.

8. My husband in my eyes is a phenomenal man,father and husband. He puts his family before himself,always. He is selfless,kind and will give you the shirt off of his back. He works hard and puts 100% of himself in whatever that he does. He never complains,he just moves through life effortlessly.Our family is so blessed to have such a strong man in our lives. My husband deserves anything and everything that makes him happy and brings him joy.

9. Mine is short and simple. My husbands a great dad because he’s fighting for our daughters freedom. He was home for 2 months after she was born before he deployed. We can’t wait for him to come home.

10. My Husband, Eric Brooks, is an amazing dad. He has been a father to my 1.5 year old, whom biologically isnt his and he assumes full responsibility for her. And he loves her. Plays with her and takes time to learn and play with her. I couldnt have asked for a better husband. She is currently with my mother in law and i got a little jealous because she talked to him for longer than she talked to me lol. We are also currently pregnant with our second, and im sure he is going to be just as an amazing dad to our next child as he is to our first. He takes the time to love and care for my child/children and the unconditional love he has for my child/children makes him the best dad in the world.

11. My husband would make an an amazing dad . We have been trying to have a family for over 4 years now. He has been by my side thru every test , procedure and all my apps. He has not given up on our family we are both in our 40’s and people have told us it’s time to give up. He said no we are determined and not giving up. He’s so amazing ! He has been thru 4 deployments was injured on his last one and with all his medical issues pain and medications he’s still determined to have a family knowing the challenges we will face. He’s been by my side ever step of my emotional roller coaster. Mothers day is hard for. Me and he still makes me smile !! I really want to win this tablet for him to thank him for all he has done for us. Hopefully next year we can celebrate fathers day as a family!!!

12. My husband is a great Father because he gives us his all every day. Even when he is exhausted from lack of sleep and just from the rigor of his daily activities, he has to work on Saturday afternoons and still dedicated his extra time to coaching our daughters t-ball teams even if he has to rush from the games to work (stupid mail room). He gives them baths every night while I clean up from dinner and if he ever gets money for his birthday, or christmas the money always ends up spending the money on something we need instead of something he wants. I really hate that it has come to that, but I guess we do what we have to do. I would love nothing more than to give him something special for being an amazing Father and Husband, when he has given so much of himself to us.

13. my husband “J”, is a awesome dad. he does so much for our children. the most impactful thing my husband does as a father is assist in giving my son his medical treatments. although currentally deployed, when home my husband is instrumental in providing our son with a life sustaining drug through the form of a medical procedure called sub-q. every week, my husband leaves work and comes home to prepare for the treatment. he hooks up the tubing, prepares the medication and prepares our son. once the numbing cream is on, my husband has the heart wrenching task of sticking two needles (very small thankfully), into our son. he screams “mommy/daddy” dont hurt me, kicks and hits (our son, not my husband :)). and through all that “J” still manages to put the needles in and calm our son down. they both are so brave.

14. My husband couldn’t be any better of a husband! My husband, is such one of a kind. He has 4 children whom he keeps very active in their schooling as well as being the PTA president for the high school. Wile I was in nursing school, he juggled his military job and took care of our kids especially when they needed to go to the doctor, he was there to take them to their appointments. One of his good friend’s is a single parent and deployed to Iraq. My husband took on the job of being a guardian father for them on top of taking of our 4 children. You’d think our house would be so disorganized but it wasn’t. He made rules. We had family meetings once a week. He organized family outings every month. There was family chore day with allowance days. It was very neat how he pulled this family together into a big happy one. He has showed everyone how important a father’s job truely is.

15. Ever since I met my husband I knew he was an awesome father. That is what attracted me to him, the way he treated his daughter. Now we have two sons and he is AMAZING. I couldn’t imagine another man being the father to my children. The saying goes that the best thing a father can do for his children is love their mother and I can honestly say he does that VERY well. I am blessed.

16. My husband is an amazing father to our three children. He is loving, patient, kind, funny, & he will change a dirty pamper without me having to say a word lol. He loves our kids so much, I know it kills him to have to be away from them & to miss those special moments that he can never get back but they are the reason he does what he does. I am so lucky to have such an awesome husband as the father of our children(:

17. My husband is a great father because he has been through chemo for the last year for brain cancer and still managed to be involved and help me to take care of our three kids. Our oldest daughter is bi-polar and our son is a stroke survivor with severe physical disabilities. He makes time for each one of them and is involved in every aspect of their lives.

18. My husband is such an amazing Dad. He is working full time and going to school full time and still makes time for our young son. He knows how important it is to him be in his life. My husband just returned from a tour of duty over seas and after being gone for a year he is trying to get every moment in with our son that he can! He is reading our son stories right now even though he just got done with an exam, studying, and its well past bed time for everyone! This afternoon he took about 30 minutes away from cramming for his exam and he got on the floor and built a train track and played trains with our son.

19. My husband is a wonderful father to my three kids. He came into our lives after my ex-husband left. He has no biological children of his own and he stepped right into the role without skipping a beat. He provided the kids with physical needs but also the gave the kids unconditional love. They needed that emotional support from a “father” and he answered the call. I see the love the kids have for him in their eyes and I see how much he loves the kids. He always says they are his kids and no DNA test is going to tell him otherwise. We are so lucky and blessed to have this amazing man in our lives. We love him forever and always.

20. My husband is an amazing father. God has blessed me so much with him. I have a 5 year old little girl from a prior marriage and you can not for one second guess that she is not his. He has from day one treated her as though she was his own. Our 2 year old son goes around acting just like daddy, he adores his father and wants to be just like him. No matter how hard of a day he has had or how late he has worked he always has time to be with his children. They love him more than anything. He is an amazing man with a huge heart. We have a little girl due in September and I already know he loves her over the moon. I just can not say enough about what an amazing man and father my husband is.

21. I know all fathers have something special about them, but I couldn’t imagine a better father to our son than my husband. Even after a tough day of playing soldier, he still manages to come home and create Wrestlemania 2012 in our living room with our little boy. It’s such a joy to listen to the excited screams and giggles that come from the room while they are playing around, and I know our son will treasure these moments for the rest of his life!

22. My husband is an amazing father. Everyday after he gets home from a long day at work he makes dinner (I can’t cook). No matter how tired he is when he gets home he always finds time to play with our baby girl and make her laugh :) Most nights he gives her a bath so they can play and splash. On the weekends he’ll get up in the morning with her and play for a couple hours so I get to sleep in. He loves our daughter and I both unconditionally!!

23. My husband, matt, is the bestfather in the world, he isn’t my kids real father, but their step father, and is the best, he treats them as if they were his own, their
    real dad wants nothing to do with them, he teaches them everything a father should teach their kids, I couldn’t have asked for a better father figure for my kids, a could imagine out any different. We live him so much and are blessed to have him in our lives, esp since he can’t have children of his own.

24. My husband is a wonderful father. He always provides for us and supports us. He just finished up his 4th deployment. He gives so much to make sure that we are taken care of. He is a wonderful father!!!!

25. My husband is a great dad because the first thing he has to do is see his kids no matter where he is or what he is doing. He’s always asking how the kids are doing and wondering what they are up to. During his deployment we’d Skype constantly and priority number one was see and interact with the kids. What is amazing is that when he returned it was as if no time was lost at all. It was purely amazing.

26. Let m start by sayingmy husband is my backbone .We are a team and together we get through everything. Hr is an amsuzung father and a wonderful husband .

      (sorry about the first one i was on my phone and i accidentally sent it )

27. My husband is the best dad one could have. Things were really rough for us financially so he joined the army. He sacrificed many important days away from his children in order to provide food, shelter, and other necessities for his family. This year is especially hard for us as we are enduring our first deployment. We have 2 children and he has missed our daughter’s first birthday and our son’s first poop on the potty! He is so proud of our family and works so hard to make us very happy. He is so humble and I jut want him to know how great he is and how thankful we are to have him in our life. I’m so grateful he is the father of my children.

28. My soldier husband is a great father to our three blessings because he would literally give his life for them. He looks at them in awe because he is so thankful that they belong to him. He loves them enough to discipline them but with compassion and love. He leads by example. He doesn’t try to pretend as if he is perfect. He’s quick to say, “I’m sorry.” He’s quick to give his last and he ALWAYS gives his all.

29. After overcoming a struggle with infertity, multiple miscarriages, a near-fatal car accident, a tornado demolishing our house, and a move 3,000 miles away all within a year, my husband and I were finally able to have a child. Even that was a difficult for us. I had numerous complications the entire pregnancy (blood clots, diabetes, pre-eclampsia) but he was by my side through every step of the way. When our beautiful baby girl was born, she was admitted to the nicu at 3 days old for severe jaundice. Her levels were the highest they had ever seen. A month later, she was taken back to the hospital for failure to thrive. After 2 months off and on in the hospital and multiple procedures we found out it was a severe milk protein allergy. She is finally gaining weight and we just found out we’re expecting again. He was by our side through every moment. He did not leave her in the hospital and spends every chance he has with her. Even at only 4 months old, she truly is a daddy’s girl. The love they have for one another is like nothing I have ever seen!

30. My husband is a terrific dad because he makes sure the kids always come first. He will do anything to get what our children need, and sacrifice anything of his to get it. He always puts his children before himself and he is the most unselfish person in this world. He was never the lazy dad who didn’t want to change diapers or get up in the middle of the night with the baby. He was the complete opposite, he never had a problem doing any “baby duty”. He is an AMAZING father & husband, and I would not have it any other way. He is deployed right now so I know being away from his children is breaking his heart.

31. BMy husband Adam would be a good choice to win, because he puts his family before him, all the time. He would do anything for our daughter. He loves to be around family and would do anything for someone if they needed help. When he makes friends it’s for life. If I could give him the world I would because he deserves it and more. When our daughter was 2 weeks old he left for bct but when he was here, he changed every diaper and bathed her every night before he left. He is my best friend, the best father and husband could ask for. He he is.young but he does.so.much to support his family. He is the most kind hearted, sweet and loving person you will every meet. His hugs when warm your coldest days and his smile will light up your darkest day. I love him so much. He is my best friend, amazing husband and the best dad anyone coukd ask for.

32. My husband is an amazing father to our 2 boys. He loves them with his entire being. He is on his 4th deployment and will be home just in time for Christmas, but is already scheduled to go back in Jan 2014. They know how much he loves them even though he might not always be here in person to show it. He makes every moment count when he is home with his boys. He is simply the best!

33. My husband is a good father because even through
    A spinal surgery, two deployments and
    Numerous other difficulties in our lives
    He has made sure our kids and I are is
    Number one priority. From baby number
    One to jelly bean three on their way he
    Has worked so hard to provide us with
    The best! And through the pain he still
    Makes sure our kids get daddy time every
    Chance possible.

34. My husband Ellis is the best dad I could wish for my son Eli. I had a really rough delivery with our son and ultimately had to have an emergency c-section. Ellis took care of Eli night and day until I fully recovered. He even wrote him a lullaby. More recently my husband was forced out of the Navy, knowing he had to provide for our family he enlisted in the Army. He left March 2010 and we are finally moving to Texas to be together after 2.5 years apart. Even though we have only been together 62 days in the last 2 years Ellis has been there for Eli very step of the way, whether that be via Skype, the phone, or on his leave dates. Eli still talks about his 2nd birthday, when Ellis was able to take his R&R from Afghanistan and help Eli open his gifts. He loves playing trains, or horsing around with his daddy. We prayed for his safe return every night before bed. I could never ask for a better friend, husband, and father for our child then Ellis. His sacrifice for his country, family, and friends is unmeasurable. I’m so proud to call him mine. I can only imagine what he will be like when we have a baby girl… She’s only a dream to us right now, but already she has him wrapped around her finger. :)

35. My husband would make a great dad. We don’t see many little kids but when we do, he’s always very patient and explains stuff to them. One of our dream plans is to run an educational exotic animal rescue, and do education at schools about animals like tarantulas, snakes, and exotic mammals like fennec foxes and servals.

36. My husband is a great father because he worries himself to stress points beyond what most men can handle, about things from food to roofs over the kids heads. Not a day goes by, whether he is here at home, out in the field, or off on deployments where he doesn’t do whatever he can to ensure the kids happiness.

37. My husband is a super Daddy to our children. He is involved in everything that they do.
    He loves our children unconditionally, and That is the greatest love of all!!!

38. I had gotten pregnant before I married my husband. My ultimate decision to marry him wasn’t just because he was the father of my child but because of how amazing of a father he actually was. Starting the first few months when you’re woken up by midnight feedings and diapers changes he would refuse to let me get up. He would often state that I went through nine months of pain an sleepless nights and bondung with my child it was his turn to do his part and be a dad. I would walk in on him and he would just be staring at her and talking to her. Now I know that to mant this may sound so small and simple. But we had our first child when we were both in high school. Many teenage boys run or fail to be the father that they should be. Not him. He stepped up, never questioned if he was really the father, and took amazing care of me. And for a 17 year old thats really rare. To this day, 2 more kids later he has excelled. Especially since he knows he is leaving in just a few short months. He has gone out of his way to make sure they dont forget him. Hes constantly taking them to the park, swimming, and we have the zoo and amusement park trips planned for the next few weeks. My husband is my hero, in so many ways. But he is the kids hero as well. I dont know what I’ll do once he’s gone, but if I know my husband like I know I do, he’ll male sure we’re taken care of and won’t miss out while he’s gone. I really hope that he gets considered for this because, this year he doesn’t want to celebrate Fathers day. Pur youngest passed away this time last yearvat five months old. He was there when he took his last breath and because of that he blames himself. We don’t have a lot this year but I want to show him that what happened isnt his fault and he is the best father a child could ask for, no matter what we’ve been through in the past.

    Thank you for this opportunity, I know whoever gets this greatly deserves it.

    Have a great day,
    Mandy

39. My husband is an amazing dad simply because he puts caring for his boys above everything. Even when that means deploying several times!

40. My husband is the most wonderful husband and father to our 4 kids. He does everything he can to make them and myself happy and to ensure that we have everything we need. He accepted my other kids from a previous marriage as his and they consider him their father and that means the world to me. Even know, while deployed, he makes sure we’re taken care of best as possible. He is always doing something special for them and makes sure they all feel special!

41. My husband is a great father because he is such a hard working, dedicated father, husband and soldier. He’s been through multiple deployments, sustained life threatening injuries and came back alive and gained two step children to his already 4 children PLUS having another child! He’s been gone for the last year and a half of his two year old’s life and has maintained such a close relationship with him that our youngest still runs to him when first seeing him after a long absence! My husband is very deserving of winning the galaxy, but even if he doesn’t, he still has the universe at home! Good luck to all the fathers out there and the soon to be fathers! Every one of them is deserving of a galaxy!

42. My husband is amazing. Been in the military over 12 years with his 5th tour coming up soon And I have been with him for over half of it. We have 3 amazing kids together. While we all have our ups and down he always shows the children right from wrong, shows them patience, the difference between love and hate, and how to succeed in daily tasks. He’s amazing and I love him dearly.

43. My husband is the greatest father he can be, by learning from his fathers mistakes and not reusing them in his journey of fatherhood. He takes timeout of his very long days to talk to all 3 of my children and give them time one on one each day. He sacrifices man time to quite simply be with his family. His only passion is his kids(family) and of course his job in the Army. I couldn’t ask for a better father for my kids…play time, religious time, vacation time is all so important to him. One of his favorite things to do on the weekends is play bonsai soccer with my kids. Couldn’t ask for a more dedicated, loyal, compassionate father! He’s simply the best!

44. There’s a little redheaded boy that looks like his daddy that crawled into my bed tonight, so he could “sleep in daddy’s spot”. There’s a little fair-skinned girl that looks like daddy that “calls” him on her toy cell phone to say ‘Hewwo’. 8 months into deployment, and their dad is so special to them that even though they haven’t seen him much, they’d trade all the toys and candy in the world to have him home. There’s a strong, dependable soldier that loves his wife enough that he trusts it won’t break her heart when he tells her that as much as he’s missed her, he’s missed his kids a tiny bit more. For someone that grew up without a dad, I’ve yet to see anyone do such a remarkable job as a parent. For my father to respect him so much (and my daddy set the bar high as a father!), I can only conclude that I married a singularly fantastic man. I must have good taste :)

45. My Husband is an amazing Dad to his 2 children. He always puts them first, and its very special when they’re together. A blind man could see how much love he has for them.

46. My husband is an amazing father. We had a son who was Ron very sick and almost didn’t make it through. Our son had a liver transplant at 18 mos of age and these were by far the hardest moments of our life. But my husband was always there helping me and being my rock and caring for our son. Our son has had a rough life and regardless of how many hours he works and how many days my husband is Always helping with Jaydens care and medications etc. my husband has sacrificed so much in order to provide for us and make sure we are happy and safe. He is an amazing father who is dedicated to spending time with our son and no matter what is there for us. He finds a way to always be there for everything and to help me with everything that is needed for our son. He always put our son and me first. My husband is dedicated, loving, caring, fun and passionate about our son having the best life possible. Our son may have had a rough start and has gone through things most will never understand but my husbands love and support through it all helped my son and me overcome it all.

47. My Husband is a WONDERFUL Father in our eyes. He adores his 2 sons age 7 and 13. A few years ago I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and my Husband really stepped up to the plate to take care of me as a Husband and take care of our 3 year old at the time as a Father! He did an Amazing Job!!! After successfully completing treatment we decided it was time for my Husband to fulfill his longtime dream of becoming a Soldier and serving our great country, at age 37 he enlisted and is so happy with this career!!! This meant moving out of State and being away from his oldest son who lives with his Mother. It was and is still hard but he always talks on the phone, skype’s, sends letters and he visits us a few times a year. His son is so proud of his Dad for his accomplishments and hopes to follow in his footsteps as of now! I feel so lucky and blessed to have such an amazing Man in my life who is so in love and in Awe of his children. This would be such a wonderful gift for him to receive! Happy Father’s Day!

48. My husband is an amazing father because even though he’s currently in Afghanistan he takes the time and effort to make sure he knows exactly whats going on in his daughters life and doesnt pass a chance to call to tell her how much he misses and loves her. We are also expecting a son this fall. He was given the opportunity to come home early but in return would be passing up a $8,000 bonus if he stayed for 1.5 more months. His response: “No amount of money could keep me from being at the birth of my child!” A husband, A father, A solider… Our hero!!!!!!

49. The father of my children, my husband, this amazing person I don’t nearly as enough credit as he truly dersearves. He stuck by my side since the age of 14 pregnant and 17 and can honesty say he is the one who taught me to be a mother! Growing stronger every day as he provides for our girls and still manages to have to problem playing dolls with his 4 yr old nor complaing if he has to wake up with our 6 month old! He truly is amazing hands down!!

50. My husband is an amazing father for countless reasons. The one that warms my heart on a daily basis is that when he gets home from a 14 hour day, he still finds the energy to crawl around on the floor and play with our 10 month old son. It makes my heart sing to see the love between them through such a simple action.
