David Archuleta fans let him know they'll be here after his mission with touching tribute

As David Archuleta prepares to leave on his LDS mission next week, his fans came together to show him support and let him know that they will be here when he comes back in two years. Over 600 of his fans submitted messages to David, as well as American Idol's Matt Giraud, Jim Cantiello from MTV and the writer of David's Filipino mini series Nandito Ako!

It's 22 minutes long, but definitely worth the watch! (Warning: get the tissues ready.)
