The only thing that can really put a damper on a family vacation or any other trip is when one of your loved ones can't go along with you. While you might be having fun, every so often you will start to think about how much fun they would be having, too, if they could have only joined in for the trip.
For the person who is unable to make it, it's even worse. They have to see all of the pictures and hear all of the stories and inside jokes, all reminding them of what they missed out on.
But, no matter how hard you try to plan and work around schedules, sometimes things don't work out. If you or a family member happen to be in the Military, this couldn't be more true…and that's what makes this solider's surprise homecoming even better than others.
We have seen many soldier homecomings before, and the best always have some element of surprise. We have seen soldier fathers surprise their kids at school, like the dad that showed up to his daughter's school assembly, and soldier sons surprise their mothers, but no matter how many we see, each one makes us tear up as much as the last.
The soldier in this video not only totally surprises his family and gets in on the family photo, but he also gets to join them on their family vacation afterwards, making this one of the best soldier homecomings we have seen!
If you love a good surprise, please SHARE!
