“During Lorain County Community College’s commencement ceremony, a heart felt moment took place. As Ashley goes to receive her Degree, she discovers that her husband, Kyle, who was overseas serving in the U.S. Navy, came as a surprise to see her graduate. Kyle, who has served our country for three years, came on to the stage and gave his wife, Ashley, flowers, a hug and a kiss!”

“My brother, who’s in the army, decided to come home after he finished his training at an airborne school. Having said that, we didn’t tell our mom that he’s done with his training and decided to surprise her instead. We also surprised our aunt afterwards. In this situation, I guess it’s okay to make your mom cry!”

“My twin sister Kacy graduated with her Bachelors degree on May 4th 2013 and her one regret is that our brother Michael, an active duty Staff Sergeant in the US Marine Corps, could not be here for her big day. She was so upset, I even tried to arrange to have him here but he was deploying less than two weeks after the graduation date and said there was no way they would let him leave so close to a 6 month deployment. Her big day came, and she was so excited but sad he was not there with the rest of our family. This is what happened next.

I didn’t have a clue that he had secretly been planning this surprise with our Mother for weeks! She was in shock as you can see, as was myself and everyone who was not told. Not a dry eye in the entire 5,000 person crowd. An amazing moment to witness.  I will never forget it and I’m sure no one there will either. We miss him and cant wait for his return! Semper Fi!”
