Graduations are a great achievement people usually love to celebrate with those closest to them.
Graduates with family members in the military, however, often go through their big day without that someone very special by their side.
Yet once in a while, these military members are able to make the trip home and be there to share that milestone. And what's sweeter than keeping the return home a secret just to give a loved one an ultimate surprise?
For example, it's nearly impossible not to get teary-eyed when watching a sister break down upon seeing her military brother come home just in time for her graduation. Same goes for the Navy mom who made sure to be there to watch her son graduate from high school.
Below is another one of these precious military moments caught on video that's sure to put a smile on your face.
This one features a Coast Guard member who secretly returned home to see his sister on her graduation day. He surprised her by popping up in the background of one of her photos. The minute she sees him there and turns around to confirm he's near, she can't fight back her emotion. It's so sweet!
Please SHARE this lovely surprise with all the military families you know!
