Soldier Goes on Television After Four Deployments, Doesn’t Know Family Is Standing Right Behind Him

We’ve seen a lot of surprise reunion videos where the soldier surprises his loved ones at home or at school, and they are absolutely wonderful to watch. Some of the most heartwarming and uplifting videos involve a knock on the front door or an appearance at a sports event. But here’s one for the history books, as a soldier’s family decides to go a different direction with surprise reunions…

It’s usually the soldier who surprises his family, but in this case, it’s the family who decides to surprise their soldier by showing up to the location where he’s doing a TV interview. He has no idea they’re going to be standing right behind him.
