Our son, recently home from Afghanistan, surprises his sister during the graduation ceremony at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. She was extremely disappointed when we told her he would not be back until the end of the month. Guess we lied a little. Ok, a lot. A special thanks to all at Cal Poly who made this possible. Enjoy.

[@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.

[@timdz6165]

Every time I'm feeling bummed, I pull up this video... Hope both this young lady and her brother are doing well...

[@romelnegut2005]

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

I'm a Marine and this made me tear up a little. When I came back from Iraq, we didn't tell my mom. There was a family barbecue and I popped out and she had a similar reaction. It's nice to see people appreciate the military every once in awhile. There are too many military haters online. Thank you for posting this.

[@SuperHouseboat1]

How could you not be happy for this surprise home coming. To those who dislike it. Get a life.

[@daaanielleex12]

I absolutely love this. My brother just graduated from the Marines this past Friday. I won't be graduating college until Spring 2013 but it crosses my mind if he will ever be able to be there.

[@toyouryouth]

Was he there?

[@khka2178]

Update?

[@dkolorofpinkluva2007]

SHE MUST HAVE AN AMAZING FAMILY TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR HER...GREAT VIDEO...I CRY EVERY TIME I WATCH IT!!!

[@Kiwikid13]

My big sister did the same to me on my graduation. The Night before she calls me to come pic her up at the airport, NO ONE knew she was coming home so soon. It was the best surprise ever, i wasn't able to sleep that night. Hope your brother doesn't have to leave you again, and miss important events like this ever!

[@Equinana]

This brought tears to my eyes. :') Thank you so much for your service.

This is so sweet, ❤❤😭😭❤❤🙏🙏. God bless you all

[@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.

[@TattedMiniTruck]

Thanks you for your service, Eric. So glad a Marine could come back to see his sister graduate.

[@jbluecrew]

Beautiful. I'm truly impressed with the fact that there are still a number of education institutions who aptly respect and honor our military.

[@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.

[@ShowJumper1998]

Respect. I am literally in tears.

Another win for our side. THANK YOU for YOUR SERVICE. Take care. Prosper and live long, He has you in his hands.

Thank you so much to our nothing but brave, ever so loyal troops that have always put their lives at risk for their country's freedoms 👏👏👏👏 👏💪🇺🇸 And God bless their faithful, supportive familie's too. 💞👍

[@pendragonU]

I wish with all my heart the Dean's son safely return home to him and his family too. Jessica, you sweet sister, he really had you and your brother at heart. I wish my dean would have been a 10% just like that and all the best surprises in life as that to thank from the heart. You made your brother and your good parents even more proud as they make you too. They love you great

[@GrowUp318com]

This may be the most beautiful, heart-touching video I've ever seen. :') God bless him for his service to our Country. and God bless his family for being the strength behind him.

[@andrerone8208]

Just seen the look on her face made me tear up and I have to say I love happy endings thanks for posting this video have a great day and God bless

[@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.

[@trevormann8221]

Oh ffs, I’m a grown ass man, served in the SA defence force, I’m not supposed to cry. This is just beautiful.

i'm not sure how anyone, regardless of political views, background, etc. could dislike this video. it's basic family love, people. one of the most valuable and instinctive traits we are lucky enough to experience. Do you not like joy, kindness, or happiness? or are you so selfish you only enjoy it when you experience it personally?

[@rogernagel1041]

Yes, that was fun. By far my most favorite surprise homecoming video.

[@amnugseglgarove]

Anytime you surprise somebody they will cry from happiness. My husband is in the Navy and we've made so many people cry by surprising them with a visit!

I just watched another "coming home" video, very touching but YOU TUBE as it does best RUINED it by switching off comments! Thanks youtube, you did it again.

[@davidsoule1252]

While I "like" your comment, I understand why comments were turned off. I am a Vietnam Veteran who fought in a lie based war. The GW Bush Iraq War was lie-based. There were no WMD and that was proven before the Iraq War. While I support every veteran, I also understand that there is another side to unjust and unneeded wars.

[@Xurex]

I never got to graduate middle or high school and it really hurts me. My parents always told me that it wasn't something I had to worry about at all and I know deep down I let my parents down. I wasn't the smartest kid but I tried and I'll never get the feeling of knowing that I accomplished something in my life. This video made me think of it and now I'm crying. Sorry Mom and Dad..... I tried

[@vansandtans100]

Thank you, but its not me you should have respect for, it's all of these brave men risking their lives day by day to protect our country. They deserve all the respect.

[@MrTremewan]

Remember coming home unexpectedly after a year away overseas in the Navy. I wanted to surprise the family, so I didn't tell anyone. When I got there, everyone was gone -- they'd gone on vacation. Spent the days of leave I had in the empty house, then caught a flight back to my base. It was kind of sad.

[@MrTremewan]
