This wonderful video is a real tearjerker and was sent in by Christine. It was filmed on Christmas Eve, just a few days ago! Thanks for sending it in:

“AT1 Raymond Rivera was IA in Afghanistan for 9 months. I had to hold the surprise in for three weeks. It was harder then I thought it would be, but I did it! Hope you enjoy it. (My cough in the video was the signal for him to walk in the house)”

“I came home on Christmas Eve to surprise my family! My best friends came to pick me up at the airport, wrapped me up in a box and brought me to my house. My parents thought that Thanksgiving was going to be the last time they would see me… I was so excited I could be home for Christmas this year!”
