Emotional Soldier Homecoming - Soldier Santa Surprises Mom

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ธ.ค. 2013
  • This soldier dressed up as Santa to surprise his mom by coming home early.
    Kim Harris thought she won a poinsettia in a Prairie Heights Schools' staff Christmas breakfast lottery Friday, but instead, said she ended up with the best gift ever.
    A Prairie Heights High School math teacher, Harris won a rigged lottery, as Superintendent Alan Middleton drew her name. Because of that, Harris had the chance to sit on Santa's lap in front of all her colleagues. Only, she didn't know who donned the red Santa suit and beard.
    Harris sat on Santa's lap and said, "Peace on earth, goodwill to men. I have a long list. My son is safely on U.S. soil from Afghanistan."
    At that, Santa removed his beard and it was her son, U.S. Army Spc. Ethan Harris, who came home early from Afghanistan.

    My Mom nearly tackled me like a middle linebacker when I came home from Germany for leave just before Desert Storm. Joy and sadness together. She knew I had to go back. And I did get deployed to Desert Storm. She left this world in 2002. There's not a day that I don't miss my Mom. But...
    I have my son. He's just as moody and sentimental as she was! She's not really gone!

They have their countries and their families best interest at heart. The service and sacrifice is that they are risking their lives in order to protect and help their country. No matter were their from that will always be true and should be respected.
