U.S. Marine surprises his sister at graduation

[@romelnegut2005]

The moment he mentioned her brother, she immediately starts crying and that shows how much she wanted him there.

It shows how much she loves and missed her brother.

Yes, bro

[@darylphillips1357]

Shows how much she cares about her brother and to see just how happy she was to see him u can't help but shed a tear for them

[@fffreddie]

I'm really happy for her or anyone who has someone that comes home. My old brother never made it home from Vietnam. I wish he would have surprised me in this way. It's been 41 years and I still miss him. Enjoy the moment with your brother sweetheart!!!!

[@lnl3237]

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. You will always miss him. He must've been a very special person to have been so loved.

[@tedhunter6983]

Is it just me or did anybody else notice that she was so stunned and happy that she forgot to get her diploma?? GOOD JOB MARINE AND EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE SURPRISE!!!! WELCOME HOME MARINE!!!!

As an only child who has always wanted a big brother more than anything, I found this unbelievably touching. I love seeing siblings who get along. There is such a strong bond between siblings that should never be broken. It makes me so sad to see brothers and sisters fight simply because I never had the chance to have that bond that I so strongly desired. Awesome video. Thank you for sharing :')

It just makes you smile with true happiness. Beautiful.

[@PashaPooty]

I know exactly how everybody else felt watching this. I spent 30 yrs in the corps and there was never anything better than pulling a surprise return. But watching this, my eyes also swelled up and I had to put it on pause for a moment. Family means everything to a military member. Semper Fi Marine.

[@Aloha_Vibes808]

I loved the face of the sister when the Dean had her stand by & started talking...BEAUTIFUL & AMAZING ALL IN ONE...

[@Fantazunique1962]

[@jakemartin3649]

Just remember that without our soldiers sacrifices for this country we wouldn't be free so thank you for your sacrifices and God bless

[@mikepech6822]

I'm Canadian, and I just love watching these videos. I was an OTR trucker for 40 years and met so many great people in the USA. So many were either in the forces or had someone in them. Watching these clips kind of hits me in a soft spot. No one one should never have to be sent out to fight someone elses battles. We have our kids here because we have safe countries. Don't send them to foreign wars.

[@elaineen1]

I can't wait to see my grandson again. He has only had 10 days of leave in 8 months. USMC graduation was not open to relatives due to Covid. My prayers to all who have family serving our country.

[@mikewrasman5103]

I like what the dean said, "Have fun."

[@crystalcorker5476]

Love this video everytime I watch these videos i cry . These are cherishing moments specially if its a sin daugbter or sibling.

[@tfewald01]

I remember the disrespect - even hatred - for the military in the sixties and seventies. I'm so glad it's not like that now. There will always be those who abuse power and don't deserve anyone's respect. But most give up much to serve our country - even those of us who weren't sent into harm's way. We were willing. Thank you to all who served.

[@Cy7vgicg7ct7]

no everyone has respect for the military now it's the police turn

[@karenrich9092]

I thank every veteran for my freedom whenever I see them -- and the same for the police and firefighters. Maybe you can help me thank more of them.

[@courtneybynum4947]

Men cry too

[@jsusna1972]

I tear up at every one of these, and I mean every single one of them! There's just something about seeing tears of joy instead of sadness. I had a friend who was going through a tough time, so I helped her out with a small monetary donation. When she saw the bank envelope containing some cash, she broke down and started crying. She didn't even know how much money was in the envelope. Her reaction took me totally by surprise. It was the first time I had ever experienced something like that. I know that in these videos there's going to be that moment when someone realizes what is happening and starts crying. I know they're coming, and I still tear up. Somehow it feels good to share that moment with them.

[@davewilco822]

I have watched so many of these it's addictive, but it's also very saddening for me. I'm from the UK and let me tell you we have nothing at all like this. In fact, we are not even allowed to wear our uniforms outside of the base unless we are getting married and have permission. I came back from active service and felt empty. The best welcome home reception and the only I have ever witnessed in the UK was by a group of villagers off their own backs who lined the streets whenever our fallen returned via a small Village quiet and out the way. This was not our Government or councils but just ordinary people.
