Military reunion videos are always surprising, followed by a burst of emotions that can melt even the hardest of hearts. Now, one first-grade teacher receives the shock of her life when her military mother pays her a surprise visit, and the entire class is left speechless.
The video shows the elementary school teacher looking straight at a woman dressed in a military uniform entering the classroom and dropping her mask to see who it is.
Samantha Norris was taken aback when she saw her mother, an Army sergeant, in her classroom. She is in complete shock as a result of the shocking surprise.
Her students quickly recognized what was going on, and many could be heard saying, “It’s her mom,” as the mother and daughter embraced in the video.
Samantha still can’t believe what happened, saying, “She is always one for surprises, but this one I was not expecting at all.”
Samantha’s mother returned to the classroom after a year-long deployment in Iraq; we are grateful to these two women, one of whom is educating America’s future and the other who is protecting all of us.
