I was so excited for the surprise until I saw his brother crying. Seeing that display of raw emotion of pure love towards his brother opened the floodgates. I was a mess.
WOW How beautiful to see a mother crying with joy at seeing her son return home at Christmas, the father trying to contain the tears of joy and his brother so moved to see him, Touching.
talk about making me cry. I am from a military family and if someone in my family did that I would be so happy and then so mad at them. lol. God bless to ALL of our current and retired military men and women.
Each time I watch these videos I become so aware of the unspoken fear that the families of the soldiers keep within them and the immense relief at seeing them
This makes me realize just how much grief and pain families just like this family must endure when they get the surprise knock on the door to tell them their son/daughter in the military is never coming home.
Both sons are soooo handsome and their smiles are killer. What a wonderful family. It was heartwarming to see how much the brothers cared about each other. Mom and Dad - You did a great job. Hope your Marine is safe and that 2017 brings you all the happiness you had in 2013. God Bless.
Hey Mom and Dad - You have two very handsome sons. I hope your Marine is safe and knows that many Americans thank him for his service. God Bless Both Of Them and The Both Of You. It's inspiring to see how close your two sons are.
Love your family. They are precious. I lost my only remaining family member, my brother. He passed away at age 58 due to alcoholism. I miss him so much.
The wife is such a beautiful soul- she knew her husband could not articulate his love for his son, so she spoke for him and said "we"- a man's heart is full of secret pains that they can't express- you can see how deeply his father is moved but could not say the words (especially with a camera on him). My only very small complaint- the sons should have shown a little more respect and waited for him to embrace his Dad before his brother.
Respectfully Disagree, there was no disrespect there. Did you see the hug between those brothers??? Then look at the hug dad gave! Not even close. Dad looks old school in the sense he probably didn’t hug very much or say I love you. They got all that from Mamma Bear and each other(meaning the siblings).
It is very pleasing to see moms, sisters, dads children well coming their loved ones. Ever thought or questioned your dear onee about the so many innocent people they killed before coming home. The ones they killed will never get home coming surprises. Wish humaunity could become humanity.
Thank goodness ABC allows comments because NBC doesn’t on our brave soldiers and their families. That is sad. Thank you ABC for these families and the surprised families ❤❤❤
My sister and I are one year apart less a day. November 18th, 1955 and December 17th, 1956.. We are children of two Marines who met in the 1950s. They both served in the Korean War. Semper FI.
The reporter kind of ruined it by saying we have a surprise for you. They should have let him walk in without saying anything. But thank you for your service young man.
SEMPER FI Brother. I wanted to surprise my family when I came home from Vietnam in 1969 too. When I got home, no one was there at all. The surprise was on me.
Omg 25 boxes of tissues my brothers and my dad where Marines crap SEMPER FI I watched my brother Tommy do this to my family He always said that I will be home for Christmas he did surprise us ! HE'S 15 yrs older than me other brother went in when he left Nam ... Welcome home

I wish the camera had shown the mother's face when she first saw her "baby". This was beautiful, but based on the prelude to their unexpected "gift", l expected more.
Most are doing like this now days mine was trying to do the Same yet the army told her no after her 5 years active duty mothers from First over Seas is hardest after first Time it’s way easier been their done it
We need more of this type of news broadcasting!
I was kind of choked up, the way I normally am at these types of videos, but when they showed his brother crying and hugging him I lost it.
His brother really missed him. Had me crying. 😢
Nate v.3 exactly! moved me more than their mom's reaction hahaa
That had me.
Nate I'm crying too
I was so excited for the surprise until I saw his brother crying. Seeing that display of raw emotion of pure love towards his brother opened the floodgates. I was a mess.

Semper Fi young man! Welcome Home, from a Marine family
WOW How beautiful to see a mother crying with joy at seeing her son return home at Christmas, the father trying to contain the tears of joy and his brother so moved to see him, Touching.
Nah, the father awkwardly looked at 3:38 when he saw his-wife-kiss-his-son-on-the-lips. Weird video
We need to bring our troops home very emotional....Thank you for all your services
That is a very close family and they love their son very much.
Beautiful moment 🇬🇧
What a lovely family!!! God bless America!!!
I wish my family was close like this.....Thank You for your service
This is a great story at Christmas, with the best ending for the whole family. 👍🏴
This made me cry
talk about making me cry. I am from a military family and if someone in my family did that I would be so happy and then so mad at them. lol. God bless to ALL of our current and retired military men and women.
Each time I watch these videos I become so aware of the unspoken fear that the families of the soldiers keep within them and the immense relief at seeing them
A brave soldier always has a side kick that is just as sneaky as they are when it comes to planning and execution of all surprises
Got that Mom hug the first time I got home on leave. Best hug ever.
Love your family. I lost my last family member, my brother, a couple of years ago, from alcoholism. He was only 58. Always love your family.
A true American family. God bless America
I am glad he returned home safe.
The reactions in these soldiers coming home surprise videos are priceless and always bring tears to my eyes.
Wow a love the brothers bond
I wish me and my brother had that kind of bond.
Amazing video! Thank you for your service!!!!!!!!!
what a great family
That whole story had me in tears.
Me too.
This makes me realize just how much grief and pain families just like this family must endure when they get the surprise knock on the door to tell them their son/daughter in the military is never coming home.
That is one tight family! Semper Fi Marine!

Thank You for Service Young Man
He made me cry lol 😞welcome home bud
The relief and pride in the father's eyes..Oh my lord.
I'm crying harder than his brother
the brother has me in tears
Michael Dishler me too!
Michael Dishler みにやまみはきやみめららとますますにまなすやすやなてちむにせちへむややまひやまらりやみみやふまひやみひややらまひ。ろ
+Michael Dishler This reaction is more appropriate than some of the others
@@jacoblewis568 Did they just lip kiss each other at 3:38? Disgusting
I remember when this happened to me, I surprised my family on Xmas Eve, '69
its so much emotional.
Welcome home soldier ❤
I thank you all service men and women and before I close my eyes every night I ask god to keep you safe from all harm hod bless you all
Awesome video! Welcome home Marine.. Semper Fi!
Hey Mom and Dad - You have two very handsome sons. I hope your Marine is safe and knows that many Americans thank him for his service. God Bless Both Of Them and The Both Of You. It's inspiring to see how close your two sons are.
Simply beautiful 😍❤so happy for the family
Love your family. They are precious. I lost my only remaining family member, my brother. He passed away at age 58 due to alcoholism. I miss him so much.
Tears came to my eyes
Made me cry ...so happy for the family ❤
Of all the soldier homecoming surprises I have watched, this is by far the best one I have seen.
Lets not all forget the fact that this news anchor is a 10. DAYM
With all the crap that happening in the world these days i love this. Much love and respect from Canada.
NOW I'M CRYING AT WORK
I am bawling.. How wonderful
Me and my brother were also born on the same day, 3 years apart. I would not want to miss him any day of my life!
The wife is such a beautiful soul- she knew her husband could not articulate his love for his son, so she spoke for him and said "we"- a man's heart is full of secret pains that they can't express- you can see how deeply his father is moved but could not say the words (especially with a camera on him).

I get a better hug from my Dad when I throw him a PBR!! Lol.
What a joyful Christmas!
Memorable family bonding...
Now this is the way news should be!
It is very pleasing to see moms, sisters, dads children well coming their loved ones. Ever thought or questioned your dear onee about the so many innocent people they killed before coming home. The ones they killed will never get home coming surprises. Wish humaunity could become humanity.
I wish me and my brother had that kind of bond.
My son is in bootcamp at Parris Island right now. First christmas away from home for him. Watching this made my eyes watery.
@Richard Chung You don't find it weird how he French kissed his mum at 3:38?
Thank goodness ABC allows comments because NBC doesn’t on our brave soldiers and their families. That is sad. Thank you ABC for these families and the surprised families ❤❤❤
That father was having a helluva time holding it together.
Damn that was the heartwarming Christmas surprise I’ve ever seen
Proud Marine
My sister and I are one year apart less a day. November 18th, 1955 and December 17th, 1956.. We are children of two Marines who met in the 1950s. They both served in the Korean War. Semper FI.

I remember when my brother and sister joined the service. I promptly forgot them until they got out.
The reporter kind of ruined it by saying we have a surprise for you. They should have let him walk in without saying anything.
But thank you for your service young man.
Of course Not! He had keep a STRAIGHT FACE without saying anything thing. Without Smiling. What do expect?
SEMPER FI Brother. I wanted to surprise my family when I came home from Vietnam in 1969 too. When I got home, no one was there at all. The surprise was on me.
You don't find anything nasty about their lip kiss?
