Christmas is the time that family should come together as much as possible. However, for many families, Christmas is just another day-especially if their loved ones are part of the U.S. military.

There is nothing sweeter than a surprise visit home from a family member who has been deployed for months. I believe that most family members would whole-heartedly agree that a surprise visit is the best! You think that you won’t get to see your loved one when they completely surprise you by showing up at your doorstep.

That was the case for Kaylee Evens, who lives in Mount Olivet, Kentucky. She was having lunch on December 18th at work when she heard her name being called over the intercom. They wanted her to report to the office immediately. She admits that she was a bit freaked out!

When Kaylee made it to the office, she was shocked to see who was standing there. Lance Cpl. Tyler Dockery, her brother, had been gone for ten months. Yet here he was!

Kaylee wasn’t even sure who it was for a second, as her brother had changed a lot during the time he was gone. But she was super excited that he had come home.

Another story is just as warm. Christy Wilson is a mom from Tennessee who had not seen her young son since September when he joined up with the Marines. Ethan, her son, wanted to surprise her. He was able to come home secretly and surprise Christy right before a party. When she saw him behind her, she started to scream in joy!

A similar video is now being passed around. It is one in which a family welcomes home their older brother from the Marines. The video centres around a recital that the younger brother was putting on. As the brother played “America the Beautiful,” his older Marine brother slipped into the room as quietly as possible.

The young man was so dedicated to the song that he didn’t even glance over at first when the Marine sat at the piano with him. As he continued to play, he finally looked over to see who was sitting with him. When he saw who it was, he did a major double take.

He jumped up and yelled, “Holy cow!” to the delight of everyone in the room. It was the perfect reaction that made everyone tear up in delight. Watch the beautiful video here:
