A U.S. soldier has made an arduous, yet special journey home, taking 10 flights, traveling 8,000 miles over 2 days, through 4 countries to be there for the birth of his baby on New Year’s day.

Francois Clerfe, a sergeant in the Army, took advantage of a special arrangement which allows soldiers to be there when their children are born.
