There is hardly anything better than a member of the military returning home to surprise family members. But it's almost Christmas AND the brother of one of First Lieutenant Beau Farrell is a star basketball player at Notre Dame. The moment was completely orchestrated by their grandmother.

The emotional reunion happened this week after a supposed "live video" from Afghanistan, where his family still thought he was. But the camera zoomed out and he was in the same arena they were in. What happened next did not leave a dry eye in the place.

Thanks for what you do First Lieutenant Beau Farrell.
