Veteran who hasn’t seen Marine grandson in years gets a special gift on his birthday

We often consider men serving in the military as the toughest men on Earth.And with that is the assumption that they’re devoid of emotions.Here’s something that runs contrary to popular belief, though.The toughest men do cry.A marine surprised his grandfather after two years of being apart.

His family members surrounded him and the kids are even running nearby.They were trying to take a picture of him.Or, that’s what he thought.Little did he know, his family had already conspired for a surprise.They timed it for his birthday.Leaning on his cane, he posed for the camera.

Then, in an instant, a man in a marine uniform stepped into the frame and stood right beside him.
At first, Jeffrey didn’t notice him.

Maybe it was the soldier’s instinct.
Or, perhaps it was the grandfather’s instinct that urged him to turn slowly to the man right beside him.

When he laid eyes on the dashing young man right beside him, Anderson almost fell.

He didn’t hold back his emotions.
The man in the marine uniform is Anderson and he is Jeffrey’s grandson.

He hasn’t seen his grandson for two years and for an undisclosed reason, he also wasn’t able to attend graduation.
