YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIDAHO FALLS — U.S. Army Specialist Isabelle Torres surprised her 7-year-old son Raiden and 5-year-old daughter Nylah at a Veterans Day school assembly after returning home from a nine-month deployment to Romania.
While the entire school at Temple View Elementary gathered to honor veterans in the annual assembly, second-grader Raiden and kindergartener Nylah had no idea who else was coming.
“They’re expecting me around Christmas,” Torres said in a brief interview before the ceremony. “So it’s a little bit early, but I’m excited.”
As Torres entered the gymnasium, her children rushed to the front — smiling, crying and embracing their mom with gigantic hugs.
Her mother Vicky, father Cosme, brother Javier and nephew Isaac also joined in the homecoming celebration.
The moment captured a small glimpse of the sacrifices U.S. servicemen and women make to defend the United States and its allies across the globe.
“It’s been a long time away from my kids during the past two years,” Torres said.
