Marine’s Surprise Homecoming Brings Star Athlete To Tears [Video]

I love seeing stories like this. I just wish that all of our service men and women were either coming home or at home already. This is a story of two brothers. Immediately the Keith Whitley/ Earl Thomas Conley song Brotherly Love started playing in my head.

The Leonard brothers did not have the easiest of lives growing up but they didn't let that become an excuse. One brother took his talent and skills to the United States Marine Corp, the other brother is a player on the University of Illinois basketball team.The two brothers, separated by 22 months in age and miles on the globe had not seen each other in quite a while. That was until this special reunion.

I have to admit I got choked up watching this. Maybe after you watch this video you will go call your brother, sister or some other dear friend that you haven't spoken to in a while. Let's make this a day that we recconnect and remember those people that are so very important to us.
