Jul 18, 2018 by apost team

When you sign up to serve in the Armed Forces, you quickly realize how much it can take away from your family. You miss their birthday, holidays come and go without seeing them, and you can’t fill their seat at the dinner table anymore. You wish more than anything that you could see their smile!

The brave families of our women and men in uniform know how tough it can be when their loved one is stationed overseas. They want them to come back home every single chance they get! This is true for most of the servicemen and women, as well- they miss their families! So when they get the chance to come back from a deployment, you know they are going to take it.

This one Marine certainly did! The surprise he gave his family is going to stick with them for a LONG time!

From the moment he was old enough to enlist, Lance Corporal Rowan Richter knew that he was destined to serve his country. He loved the idea that he could protect his country and participate in secretive, dangerous missions around the world at the same time. Of course, Rowan’s parents were very nervous about this career choice. Would he ever actually be safe? What would they do without him? However, they were fully supportive of the choice Rowan was making, even if they were worried about him terribly. They applauded his dedication and patriotism!

While Rowan trained, they heard from him now and again. However, once he deployed, phone calls became few and far between. When they did come, they were very brief, as Rowan didn’t always have a ton of time to talk! Of course, they missed their young son terribly during this time.

Rowan could tell his parents were very nervous and missed him a lot. So, he decided to do something about it! He planned a special surprise visit for his family, enlisting his father for help.

When Mom finds out who is in the backseat photo-bombing the selfie, you’ll see why this is a moment Rowan will treasure forever!

Watch the big surprise Lance Corporal Richter gave his family in the video below. Thanks for your service!
