Soldier Fulfills Duty as Father, Seeks Permission from Colonel to Attend Daughter’s Wedding Before Returning to Combat

A tear-jerking video captures a soldier fulfilling his role as a father by asking his colonel for leave to attend his daughter's wedding. He delivers a deeply moving blessing before returning to fight for the nation.

On 22 December 2025, a video moved many viewers as a soldier took the stage to bless his daughter at her wedding, tears flowing. He said that when she called, he was on duty at Nong Jan Village, Sa Kaeo Province, where clashes occurred daily. She asked if he could come. He replied '50:50' and then consulted his lieutenant about attending. The lieutenant said he would speak to the colonel, who ultimately granted permission.

The father added that a daughter's wedding happens only once. He was happy to be there. The soldier, a man who rarely cries, shed tears for the first time because he was so glad to see his daughter settled. He has cared for her carefully since 1996, like an egg in stone. Now that she has found her soulmate, he entrusted her care to her spouse, saying, 'I love her very much.'
