Enlisting in itself is a brave decision. That means they will be away from family and friends for months or even years. And the chances of not coming back are all too real.
This is something all parents fear when their children sign up.
But it also makes mom and dad proud knowing their child decided to serve the country, which means reunions are extra sweet and emotional, such as the one you’ll see here.Jeff Grimm was celebrating his 50th birthday and all this man wanted was to have all three of his children back home. Jeff wanted to be with his family since it had been two long years since they’d all been together.
His youngest daughter, Shelby, was still in college while his two sons, Dane and Drew, were away serving in the marines and air force. Jeff’s birthday dream seemed like… a dream.
That’s where his wife Melanie came in to make his wish come true.

Then out of nowhere, his two armed forces-serving sons came in to surprise him.
