Daddy and Princess at his welcome home Party

Soldier Surprises Daughter Upon Return

My brother Brian Dolan Jr. has served our country for more than 15 years. He has been stationed in Germany the past couple of years with the military police canine unit and was deployed to Afghanistan the end of last year. Having been away from his daughter, Larissa 5,for the past year he got the opportunity to surprise her at her school, Sherwood Elementary in Arnold, MO this past week. I am blessed to have been there when it happened and captured the emotional moment for us all on camera. He has been deployed on and off since I was 5 years old and I will be 22 this December. He even had to leave his newborn princess behind just days after her birth to serve our country in Iraq. She was a blessing to us all too, born on St. Patrick's Day to a very Irish family. I am very blessed to have a heroic brother who always thinks of others before himself. God Bless Our Soldiers!
