Marine comes home, surprises mom

After nine months away at his base in Jacksonville, Florida, U.S. Marine Corps Pfc. Steven Richmond of McKinleyville decided to surprise his mom Theresa O'Brien at the Samoa Dragstrip on Saturday.
Between the roar of the drag racing cars and the cameras rolling in front of her, she never saw it coming.

Hello everyone. My name is Steven and I am this marine. Love a lot of the comments and thousands of views. My mom is the only one who had no idea I was coming home. It was a fun surprise to do as my mom has supported me tremendously so my family decided to surprise her as a thank you for the support. Please share if u want and know that I personally am willing to give my life for every single America citizen regardless of race, religion, or gender. We are all Americans and I proudly stand for all of you. Sender Fidelis, and May you all have a wonderful life.

[@jeenashirkey1987]

Steven Richmond thank you for your service, Steven.

[@williamlewis5114]

A big "Semper Fi" to you young Marine. Following the 200+ year old traditions of the Corps, you have some mighty hefty boots to fill in your upcoming career. I know though, when the time comes, you'll willingly do the right thing. Do not let the Giancardo Fazios(above) and other uninformed cowards like him, affect your proud stand for this great nation. He has just proven, Lemming don't think, they only mock those superior to themselves. When it comes to defending America, thank God it won't be the wimpy Fazio types. They'll be too preoccupied playing ostrich with their head in the sand. If times get rough out there, it will be our proud military patriots like you and your MC comrades who will kick butt for America. And while you're at it, kick that ostrich's butt as you charge on by. Unlike the other cowards who choose to kneel, as a US Marine, always remain vigilant and stand tall with a perfect salute for our National Anthem. It's Tradition! 30 year, Navy Combat Photographer, Ret.
