Now this is the way news should be!

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.

Semper Fi young man! Welcome Home, from a Marine family

That is a very close family and they love their son very much.

Awesome video! Welcome home Marine.. Semper Fi!

Beautiful moment 🇬🇧

We desperately need more of this nee casting!

Got that Mom hug the first time I got home on leave. Best hug ever.

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

Made me cry ...so happy for the family ❤

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?

Who in the HECK has been cutting onions near me. I'm in tears 😭

I'm crying harder than his brother

His brother really missed him. Had me crying. 😢

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

This is a great story at Christmas, with the best ending for the whole family. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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.

I wish my family was close like this.....Thank You for your service

The reactions in these soldiers coming home surprise videos are priceless and always bring tears to my eyes.

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

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 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).

Welcome home soldier ❤

A true American family. God bless America

With all the crap that happening in the world these days i love this. Much love and respect from Canada.

That is one tight family! Semper Fi Marine!

Amazing video! Thank you for your service!!!!!!!!!

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 ❤❤❤

Simply beautiful 😍❤so happy for the family

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

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.

We need to bring our troops home very emotional....Thank you for all your services

Of all the soldier homecoming surprises I have watched, this is by far the best one I have seen.

I wish me and my brother had that kind of bond.

That father was having a helluva time holding it together.

Damn that was the heartwarming Christmas surprise I’ve ever seen

The relief and pride in the father's eyes..Oh my lord.

Tears came to my eyes

Wow a love the brothers bond

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.

He always sung I'll be home for Christmas !

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.

Memorable family bonding...

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.

its so much emotional.

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.

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!

He made me cry lol 😞welcome home bud

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.

It reminds me when Elvis Presley sings I'll be home for Christmas, Santa bring my baby for Christmas
