A Marine Corps Toy Story Themed Homecoming


This is by far the sweetest way I’ve seen of keeping kids connected to the deployed servicemember.


Noah’s dad, SGT Curiel, took Woody on deployment with him while Noah kept Woody’s hat safe at home. When they reunited, Noah - who also insisted on dressing just like daddy for the reunion - returned Woody’s hat to its rightful spot.


After nearly nine months and a trip around the world, the Curiel family - Woody included - was together again.
