One of the hardest things for a deployed soldier aside from the constant physical threats is not being able to see their family and loved ones, which is why family is the first thing they want to see once they step foot on U.S. soil.
As soon as Gunnery Sergeant Taylor was deployed, his wife started counting the days until he would return home and began planning how she could surprise him since he thought he wouldn’t see her right away because he was being stationed in California and she and their kids lived in Maryland. “My husband has been in Afghanistan for the last year. He was one of the last group of Marines to come back from the war,” mom explained.
After some planning, mom arranged to fly out to California to surprise her husband who she had tricked into thinking she was in Maryland. “The media is full of military men and women surprising their families upon their return from deployment, but it is very rare to see a military member get surprised by their loved ones,” she said of her plan.
“Because he is stationed in California and our kids and I live in Maryland, he didn’t think that anyone would be there when he returned. But I showed him!”
As Taylor and his unit marched in, mom stood eagerly on the side and once they finished marching in, practically everyone but her husband raced off to greet their families. Mom managed to sneak up right behind him as he was greeting other Marines, but once he realized who was standing beside him, he broke down in tears.
