Perhaps no better evidence exists of how much homecomings mean than how often these stories and videos go viral on the internet. There are an innumerable number of these videos on the web showing the surprise homecoming (often someone returning from a military deployment) to a waiting family or spouse. These videos are touching and bring a smile to the face of any person that might be watching not to mention the shrieks and tears of those actually involved. Here’s one of our favorites:

But not all homecomings are surprise visits caught on camera. Most are planned out far in advance with excited (and nervous!) family members waiting at airports, homes and ports across the nation. For these types of homecomings often some kind of sign is needed. To help out waiting family members and friends we’ve put together a huge list of homecoming signs and sign ideas. We’ve included welcome home signs for Air Force, Military or Army and Navy personnel.

So regardless of the branch of military your hero is serving in and whether you’re looking for a cute sign, a clever or humorous one or one that has sentimental and special meaning for your loved one, we think you’ll find it below! We’ve broken down the ideas by the type of sign as there are common themes around countdown signs, kiss me signs, baby related signs, etc. Enjoy!

In addition to our current military welcome home signs, we offer free designs services and can create any sign you see below. Contact us today to have us help you or create one yourself using our online design tool.
