Soldiers who are deployed around the world to serve their country experience unimaginable physical and mental pain, yet despite all this, the hardest thing is being far from home and away from family and friends.
When 30-year-old Army Captain Tony Burch found out that his wife Mary Pat was pregnant for a second time, they were stunned to find out that they were having quadruplets. “We wanted a big family, but we thought we’d be able to spread it out more,” Burch said. “Instead, we got an instant upgrade.
Finally, when the big day arrived on Jan. 24th, Burch was halfway around the world where he was stationed in South Korea. Luckily, a helpful nurse called him to Facetime during the birth so he could be there for his wife and newborn children despite the distance.

Burch immediately knew he had to get back to his family, and four days after their birth, Burch made it to the hospital to finally meet his new babies Henry, Nathaniel, Samuel, and Molly.
“I have been able to do this with all of the babies at least once,” Burch said. “I put the baby on my chest and hold him, or her, while I’m in the rocking chair. They get the skin-to-skin interaction.”
