1. My husband? Amazing! While I realize we all believe our husband is the best husband and father ever…let me tell you why mine truly is just that!
   He instilled values, morals, and love for our Country and God. He believes in honor and integrity and lives that life leading by example rather than dictating and preaching “at” our no longer so little blessings. With his guidance our children are learning to uphold family values, cherishing the blessings of knowledge instilled in us by our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.
   We are a blended family – my 2, his 3, and my step-son from my first marriage. Treating all of our children equal, we drive up and down the east coast attending sporting events, school functions and vacationing. My husband has taken my children and step-child as his own. His love for my boys is equal to his love for his own children. Never once have I questioned his heart…I know is is full with love, respect, and admiration for all six of our babies…okay, okay…they aren’t babies technically, but to me they will always be my babies!
   Did I mention our grandchild? My step-son has a beautiful 4 month old bundle of joy! Our Izzie! Hubby wants her to call us meemaw and peepaw so she cal run around yelling “mee pee!”. He loves her so much!
   For the past 8 years he takes 2 weeks off from his 3 week per month travel assignments to take our crew of children hiking, fishing, boating…in the mountains and then wave riding at the beach and roller coaster riding! He is the fun one!
   He is amazing. I am blessed with a hard working, God fearing, dedicated husband who just happens to be a Soldier and our children are blessed with unconditional love and respect. oh…and a fun dad to top it off…now if I can just get him to wash the windows!

2. My husband is the most amazing dad because he has raised my son and loved him as his own from the time we have got together. I naively worried that he would treat him differently once we had children of our own but his feelings never changed for our son after our daughter was born. Currently we are in the process of my husband adopting my son to make it official.

3. My husband is an a,azing father, he is a father by birth and a father by choice. My oldest may not be his biological child but he is the only father he hasever known and as far he is concerned that is as much his child asour other son. They are inseperable when he isn’t deployed and my husband makes sur ehe gets the “boy” experience he needs. i truly cant have a better husband or father for my kids!

4. My husband is a great dad because he loves his kids more then anything! He would do anything for them and he makes sure they have everything they could ever need as well as spending as much time with them as he can playing sports and all types of things!! He is the best husband and father my kids or myself could ask for and we love him so very much!!!

5. My husband is a great daddy because everything he does is for me and our daughter. He recently went from active duty to reserve and all he is worried about is making sure we are cared for and have everything we could possibly want. My daughter adores her daddy and her face just lights up when he walks in the door!!!!

6. My husband is proof that a dad is more than just sharing DNA. My husband is a step father,a friend and an amazing role model to my three kids. John joined the army to give our children a better,more stable life and I could spend the rest of my life showing him how much we appreciate him and it would never be enough. Whether it’s playing xbox with the boys or painting my daughters nails,he does it with his whole heart and for that we are lucky. I would love to win this for him because soon he will be leaving us for his first deployment. I know he’s nervous and I know this won’t make his bad days cease from existing but,with a little luck it will help him get thru those boring times. :)

7. My husband is a great father because he does the little things with the kids that I don’t want to do or that I didn’t think of doing. He will read them their bed time stories in these awesome character voices, he play wrestles with the them, helps clean their room and the list goes on. But all in all he is there when they need to talk to him.

8. My husband is the greatest father because he gives love and support to my son and I. Despite having an early work day, he gets up with me every time my son wakes up to see how he can help. He gives my son constantly attention and love. He cooks and cleans when he realizes I am attending to my son needs and fallen behind without having to ask. He constantly wants to spend time with my son that we argue who will get to hold him. At time, I tease him by calling him “single parent” when he hogs my son. When we go to the store, he always looks for something for our son and him to bond with (i.e., books, toys, nfl tees). I do not anyone else who loves being a father more than him. I’m the luckiest women to have found a man who has unconditional love and support to our family. I know my son will grow up to be an amazing man because he has the best example in his father.

9. My husband has done so much for me and our 4 kids its unreal. The whole mood of the house changes when he is gone. I couldnt imagine our lives without him. He plays and works hard all for us! We love you marcus!

10. My husband means the world to our three children. Everything he does is for us. He is the most selfless person I’ve ever met. He’s the first person to volunteer for coaching positions on our kid’s sports teams, no matter where we go he makes it so much fun for the kids, and most important he loves them unconditionally. When my husband is deployed the kids ALWAYS talk about the fun memories they have with their daddy. I’ve been extremely blessed to have found such an amazing partner.

11. In my opinion my husband is the best father in the world. He is devoted to his family. We are his world and he is ours. He loves to spend time with his son and teach him our values. Also he is always sacrificing himself to provide us with a better life for me and our son. He works hard at work, he is finishing his college education, and a soldier. And even after all these he still manages to spend time with his family. We love him, he is the glue in our family and I think he is the best father. I’m a very lucky women to have such an amazing guy as my husband and father to our son.

12. My Husband is a great father because Even though he’s been deployed all of Brayden’s Life, He’s still such a great dad to him, from afar. He does everything for me and our son. He’s only been able to spend 2 weeks with our son so far…but those 2 weeks were amazing. He went right into daddy mode, feeding, bathing, changing diapers..and he always made it fun with our son…I mean he was only 4 months then. I can’t wait to watch him and our son together again. I could go on and on about my husband but I’ll leave it at just that =)

13. My husband is an amazing father for so many reasons. He lost a son (with his first wife, whom we are both still friends with) to SIDS while deployed his first time and still makes trips to the cemetery to remember and share him with our family. He has a daughter from a previous relationship that looks just like him and adores him. He tries to make sure she is included in our lives, as a family, as much as the huge distance allows. We got married 10 days before his second deployment, and, from that moment on, he has always considered my two children from previous marriages to be just like his own. He dotes on all of the kids and makes each one feel special in their own ways. He has taken in my kids without a second thought and does everything in his power to make them feel loved and appreciated. When my son went through a rough and dangerous situation with his biological father’s abuse, my husband stood up and undertook the task of helping to rehab my son and teach him the proper way to behave and treat others, especially women. My husband also remembers special days for our family, such as the day my first daughter was stillborn, even though he never had the chance to know or see her. He is very loving and dedicated to our family, both one on one and as a whole. He always makes time while away for deployments, TDY or now, in Korea for the children to talk and “play” with him on the phone or computer. He does without a lot of things to make sure that our family always comes first and that we have everything we need and most of what we want. He is also a wonderful husband! He sent me flowers, bears, and candy for my birthday, a month after getting to Iraq. He called a local restaurant to have me surprised with a birthday dinner and flowers for my second birthday while he was deployed. He picks up little things here and there on his travels to bring home to the kids and myself that he saw and made him think of us. He decorates his living areas while away with pictures of us and drawings from the children. He indulges our goofy obsession with the zoo and even took us to feed the giraffes! He tries to be present for the kids functions at school, as much as his schedule at work will allow, and requests videos and pictures for the few times he can’t make something. He gives us all of the love he can muster and that is the most important thing to each of us! My husband, Phillip, is the best Dad and Husband our family could ever ask for! Oh, and the kids want to add, “Our Dad is awesome and he really rocks!” Thank you for letting us tell the world how amazing our guy really is, even though these words could never adequately express just how much he means to us!

14. This year will be my husbands first fathers day!!!!!! My baby was born premature at 34 weeks and has had to have 3 surgeries and possibly a forth and is still in the NICU and is 2 months old now. My husband is the BEST DADDY EVER because with everything going on he still manages to work back home and spend time with me and our baby in mobile Alabama! He’s the best daddy ever!!!!!!! He’s done so much and has been so busy working then driving an hour and a half to see us then gNo home and do yard work and keep things at home together! I am the luckiest girl in the world and love my husband soooo much!

15. Hello my name is Kristine my husband Seann is the best dad because of all the things he has done for our family he came in to my life at 19 years old and I fell in love with him from day one he stepped up and helped me with my 2 girls from the start, we got married soon after and had our 3 girl soon after and he joined the military to support us and his country and that amazes me to this day for all he sacrifices just for me and the girls he is now deployed by choice he voluntarily went to serve his country country and all though we miss him dearly he is doing all this for his children .

16. Myhusband is such a great dad because he has joined the army to provide for his family in a better way. He also did it to get our 3yr old son out of our very small town and in to a better school. He is giving up so much for my son and to give him a better life than we both had.

17. My husband is an amazing father! He sacrificed his life of partying, drinking, short-term jobs & late nights out in order to support his daughter who was born when he was just 20 years old. To do so, he enlisted in the Army — a job that he took simply to be able to support his little girl financially. 6 years later and we have a newborn son who he loves and adores in ways that I never imagined a man could love. :)

18. My husband is an awesome Dad!! At 12 his mother suffered a brain injury and was in a coma. When she awoke she was never the same, child like and unable to fill the role of mother, but instead needing to be cared for as a child. My husband took on the role as caretaker to his mother, father to his younger brother, as well as all of the cooking, cleaning and running of the household, while going to middle school through high school. His dedication and commitment along with his strong work ethic are what make him the best Dad! I could write a book! I’m proud to call this Dad my husband and best friend!

19. Hi, i just want say that my husband is a good man he takes care of his family he is a good provider he is a good dad i am so proud of the man he is we been trough a lot of things he is a real good rolemodel for our kids he has a complish almost all his goals and he is teaching the kids how to accomplish theirs, he is been a father figure for my daughter he cares for her like her real dad i has helped me to grow and be a better person too i just want to say i am glad he is the father of my kids happy fathers day honey .

20. My husband and I have been married for almost 11 years, we have two lovely boys. I think my husband is a great father, he always finds time for them, no matter of he has had a hard day at work and they want him you throw the football around, or if its him playing video games with them. It was so cute during his last deployment my son Gabe his dad a little monkey to keep him safe, my husband always made sure to show him the monkey when they would Skype, and it was the first thing he showed him when he got back. It was so special to him, I love him for the father he is to our children no matter what opsticals the Army puts in his way of being with them all the time.

21. I am so in love with my husband, words cant describe it. He’s a wonderful father to our girl, who is almost 5, and the husband I never imagined could exist. He’s deployed right now and we miss him so much! There’s too many reasons to list why he deserves such an awesome prize so I am just gonna say Happy Father’s Day, Sergeant :p

22. Loving, caring, compassionate, that’s MY HUSBAND! I knew the first time my oldest son and husband met that he would be an amazing daddy. He tried to adopt him after we got married but couldn’t do to the biological father stepping in after never been around. My husband is in the reserves and works constantly between his civilian job and the army to provide for our family and so I can be a stay at home mommy. He returned from his first deployment in Iraq last October after his truck hit an IED. They sent him home early so he could get further TBI testing done. Since being home, he has worked his butt off trying to be the daddy he once was before he deployed. It hasten been a very long, busy, stressful, and emotional eight months(and still going)
    of rehab for my husband to learn how to live with his “new brain” as we say. With that said, my husband is the best father because he does anything he can to make our three children happy even as difficult as it may be at times

23. My husband and I have been married for almost 12 years, and have one son. He is the most wonderful father, and role model to our 11 year old son, Ryan. Although he has been gone quite a bit over the years, he always seems to surprise us even from thousands of miles away. Like most good husbands and fathers, he tends to put himself last. Whether it’s holding off on a new pair of boots he desperately needs, or surprising me with a great gift for the holidays when I just buy him new socks and underwear. Although he says “it’s just another day”… I wish I could give him a gift he would never expect, especially a gift that isn’t really in the budget right now due to an upcoming PCS. Even through the ups and downs, I couldn’t imagine myself with anyone else!

24. My husband is the best dad because even though we got pregant when I was 17 and he was 20. He stayed with us and has always taken care of us. We did get married and had a second son so he is a proud daddy of two boys. He is so proud that he joined the army and serves and works hard everyday to give us a life no one else could. Altoughthe army can take their daddy away for up to a year at a time, my husband always makes sure we are taken care off and his boys are happy. I’m so thankf for him and we might have down things backwards but he has always been proud to be with us and have the title Dad.

25. My husband is a good father because he has a heavenly Father. He seeks God, works hard, and loves our children. He takes our daughter out on dates once every two weeks (when the Army allows) and spends quality time with our 2 year old son playing “putball.” He teaches them through his actions instead of words, and is incredibly patient with both of them. He makes the most out of the little moments, and takes time to dance with our children. He works hard, and sacrifices to provide for our family, and has been both mom and dad the past 7 months when I’ve been sick. He has been so supportive through the really hard times, and is a pillar of strength in our family. I could not have dreamed of a better partner and best friend in parenting and life, I am so blessed that God saw it fit for us to be together!

26. My husband is great father because he’s everything a father should be. He’s always there for the kids even when in another country (and it’s quite hard having a phone conversation with a 5 year old :D) He’s always there to be a mentor, a friend, or someone to kiss boo boos. He will sit and watch Tinker Bell movies 3 times in a row and not rip his hair out when his daughter asks for it again. He laughs at knock knock jokes that do not make any sense. When coming home after a year deployment, he asks to change his son’s diapers because he hasn’t had to do it for a year. When our daughter asks 50 questions in a row he never snaps and just says because, he always answers. If he doesn’t know, he looks it up so he can tell her. He’s never embarrassed about playing with the kids. He’s not afraid to not be macho. My husband is a great father because he would much rather spend a night with the kids then anything else, even going out with the guys. My husband grew up in poverty with abusive, alcoholic parents and to see the man he has grown into is absolutely amazing. He really is the best husband and father in the entire world.

27. My husband is a wonderful man, and beautiful father to our three and a half year old son. Everyday it never fails that our son runs to the door to jump into his Daddy’s arms and tell him about his day. He always makes sure he gives special love to his Daddy after a long day of work. Sometimes, as a soldier he has to deploy for months, up to a year at a time. However, even when he is deployed, with the help of the USO, he managed to send books and videos home of him reading to our little boy. Nothing was ever more exciting to our son than to receive “Daddy movies.” He would often fall asleep only after watching one of this precious movies. Those two are quite the pair. They are the most living, adventurous, and vivacious Daddy and son pair I have known. They are my everything.

28. My husband is an amazing father to our children. I saw that for the first time when we got back together. Although he was deployed at the time he did everything possible to ne as much a part of his life as he could. The instant mind between them was amazing. Although he’s my sons step father you would never know. He treats them both as though they where his own, and does everything he can to give them as stable and consistent home as possible with all the deployments and traveling for work. They are his world.

29. Josh Ramsey; an Engineer in the United States Army, a Son, Brother, Grandson, Uncle, a Father of 2 Angel Babies, after 7 years of wanting to be a Father come October 2012 he will be. He is My Bestfriend, My Husband. We met when we were 19 and 20, while he was Active Duty Air Force. We got Married in 2005. He is an Amazing person Inside and out. He always puts others first in his job and in our personal life. My husband has lost both of his parents, he has gone through more then any man at his age should have too. No matter what he has held his head high, and continued on. He will do anything and everything he can for anyone in need, at any cost or any amount of time. He has so much love in his heart. As I stated finally after years of not concieving, and 2 miscarriages we are having our first child(a Girl) in October. My Husband Unit is suposed to deploy for 9 months very close after our daughter is born. I feel my Husband deserves this more than anything in this world for the Amazing Man He is, how he is, the fact that he never get for him. But mostly because if he wins this he can use it while he is gone. Out in the Field, Deployed at Training, anywhere to stay connected to our Daughter and I. After everything he has gone through in ife, and everything he has done this would mean so much to him. So much to me!!

30. My husband is and amazing and father and man. I have been very blessed ,because he puts our boys and I first before himself. I never hear him complain about anything, and whatever the we need he gets. He treats me like a princess. I always see that he puts himself last. And sometimes I feel bad for that. The kids are everything to him. I also suffer from chronic migraines and everyday he massages my neck just to make them feel better, in hopes that we get to the root of the problem with a new Neurologist. His job as and Army recruiter can be stressful but he never brings his job home.

31. My husband is a strong, hardworking and selfless man. He works a second job on his off time from the army. He has medical issues but never has a single complaint and does what he needs to provide for his family. He is a father to a little girl whom he recently found out about. He pays child support but due to the demands of the military, he has never met her. We have been trying to conceive for some time now. We are going through the struggles of the infertility process and I see just how much his heart aches to be the father he is meant to be. God has blessed me with this wonderful man and I am so grateful.

32. My husband is a great dad to our kids and me. He’s the sole provider for us and have been the best husband any wife can ask for. He goes out of his way for our family, he helps the kids with their homework and is involved in their daily activities. He’s the best dad and husband ever. He is my backbone, and I love him for that. I wouldn’t change a thing about him.

33. My husband and I were at Disneyland last year with our nephew and my husband was holding him while we were buying our nephew a couple toys. The lady behind the counter goes “Awww your such a good father!” I guess she had been watching the way my husband was interacting with my nephew. Anyways, you know she has seen a lot of parents with their children so those words coming from her just proves he won’t be such a bad Daddy after all :)

34. My husband makes a great dad because even though he did not have ideal role models growing up he strives every day to be different and better than the dads he knew. He may not get it right the first time, or be on time for things, or always know what to do for every situation, but he learns from his mistakes and always tries his best to be there for the kids and me both.

35. My children have been blessed with an amazing father! He always knows the right thing to say, even while he is away! When he is here, his girls are such daddy girls and love all the attention he gives them! Our son loves that his daddy plays sports and video games with him! I seriously could not imagine parenting with out my husband! I think it can be hard to find a hard working, dedicated man to marry and raise children with! Just glad I have meet mine.

36. My hubby is wonderful with our girls and spoils me rotten…what more could you ask for?

37. I want to acknowledge how wonderful my husband is. I am so proud of his accomplishments and I am more so impressed & elated on how he took the role of raising a child that was not his own and he didn’t have to. When me & hubby got reacquainted my daughter was only 2 years old. He has help me raise “our” daughter to the most beautiful young lady today who is now 20 years old. I give him the honor & the respect he deserves as a real man taking on that responsibility and we appreciate his unconditional love. That is what makes my husband the best father I know.

38. My husband is the best father and husband!! He is the Daddy on the floor playing lego’s, trains, wrestling, singing and whatever other games the boys want to play. He will scoop them up and go to the store, the park and the pool without the help of Momma! He is already my boys real life superhero!!

39. My husband is the best. We were both married before and he sacrificed advancing his military career to be a stay at home dad during his first marriage when his wife abandoned them during a deployment. Now we’ve been married 5 years and he works. To support our family so that I can be home to raise our 4 children and homeschooling. He spends countless hours talking and bonding with my teenage daughter building a relationship to overcome the abuse she suffered at the hands of her biological father.
    We recently learned that my kids have a older sibling by their father and my husband has spent lots of time with him as well, talking g to him about what it’s like to be a real man, since he’s grown up with a father that doesn’t even acknowledge his existence. He is ways quick to help out with whatever needs to be done, from dirty diapers to teenage rants, and never loses patience, even when mine is long gone.

40. My husband is such a caring person!! We don’t have children yet but we can’t wait. The babies we have now (our puppies) he loves and takes care of, even my doggy that I brought into the relationship with me. More importantly I’ve seen how he is not only with his nieces and nephews but with mine. They are always so excited to see him and spend time with him. Ive seen him be the fun uncle but also the uncle who cares and makes sure no one misbehaves. He is such a strong, smart, caring person and I couldn’t be prouder of him serving our country. I know that being a father will make him so happy and proud and I know he will want a great life for our kids and to show them about fun, life, morals and responsibility.

41. No matter if we are going through a deployment, PCS or big life event, he takes care of our family in “The big people” world. Every detail taken care of…God, me and the boys are te center of his world.

42. My husband is the greatest father to our daughter. He has been gone overseas for 2 years straight and now that he is back they have an unbelievable bond. Our daughter is only 3!! We are expecting our second child any day and it really brings joy to my heart and puts butterflies in my stomach to think of the bond they will have also. I truly could not have picked a better, more caring, loving, and wonderful father for my children. I feel blessed that God helped me find him.

43. My love is absolutely the best father (and husband) I’ve ever met. With our 10 year old, he sits on the stairs and has daddy/daughter talks when shes sad. With our son, he wrestles and fights and teaches him how to respect others. We have two young daughters 4 and 2, he dresses up and plays barbies, colors, and reads. I couldn’t ask for someone who is more attentive. He is currently deployed, and whenever he has a free minute he’s trying to video chat with them all. He’s not just a father, but a friend, a confidant, and our hero :) <3

44. I was a single mother with 2 small children from different fathers when I met my husband. He still fell in love with me & asked me to marry him even though I was a ready made family. We have been married for 5 years, have 2 additional children together & anyone who has ever met us would never guess in a million years that all 4 kids aren’t his biologically. He loves them all the same which speaks volumes to his character. He is daddy, plain & simple! Nothing makes me realize more how truly wonderful he is like when he’s running around with the boys, all equipped with their Nerf guns, playing Army as I hear squeals & laughter. When they grow up they want to be in the Army just like daddy. They love their dad. He’s their best friend, their daddy, their role model and their hero.

45. I cannot sing to save my life, but my husband can and he sings songs with my son every day. All the songs my son knows are because my husband has taught him to sing. I love listening to the sing together.

46. I don’t have a sappy story to tell about how great of a dad my husband is. He’s tough, he’s strict but he LOVES his kids and he knows what to do to raise them to be their best and our future generation. I don’t know many dads that would fight for full and sole custody of 2 kids (ages 4 and 5 at the time) while PCSing and working full-time active duty. He didn’t take the easy route, he did what he knew was best for them. He instills a strong work ethic in all of our kids and teaches them to work hard, fight for what they want and never settle for mediocrity. To always stive to be the best they can be.

47. My husband will be an amazing father someday! Hes always talking about how much he can’t wait until we start having kids. He’s got twin brothers that are about to turn 5, and then 5 nieces and nephews. I’ve seen him aroun all of them and he just amazing. He’s a big kid himself do he plays well with young kids. He’s even great with babies. I haven’t ever really been around kids, so babies make me nervous. He seems to know even more than I do about how to care for a baby. I can’t wait to have one with him and see the softer side of him That only comes put around children.

48. My husband is amazing in so many ways. Over the past 8 years we have been through a lot to say the least. Two years ago our best friend had a heart attack at work passing away leaving his wife and 2 yr old. My husband and I swooped in to help with everything from planning the funeral to baby sitting so she could have a break. Now 2 yrs later his little girl looks to him as a father figure. I know when our child comes he is going to be amazing!!!

49. My husband is an amazing father because he is always there for his girls. He is using his leave time to stay home with the girls while I begin working. He does everything for them and loves them with all his heart

50. I know my husband will be a great father because he is an amazing step father to my one year old. I can’t wait to have babies and grow old with him!
