What makes you proud to be a father?

I think for myself with my daughter is was back in 98 when I returned home from a deployment and had a full face of hair. She walked around me in a wide circle until I called her name and she realized it was me "her dad". With my boys it was when I came home from Iraq the day before and there was a Veterans day celebration going on at their school. The boys had put my uniform together some time before I arrived. I saw them off to school and was told that I needed to wear my uniform for the boys at school that day. So I put on my uniform on they had put together and headed to the school with their mother. Once inside the school it looked like a ghost town (no one was around). I was met at the entrance of the school by a teacher who asked me to follow her only to enter the gymnasium where every student, teacher, parent and administration team were. I didn't realize this but it was a celebration not only for Veterans but for me. I was and to this day, honored and humbled by the event my boys asked to happen for me. This was the best homecoming anyone could ever ask for. My boys had this look of joy and pride on their little faces that I still see to this day.

Being in the delivery room for the birth of my two daughters

I have several incidents from my son's life that have made me proud, the number one is when he handed my grandson over to me to hold the day he was born, that was a great moment.
