We all love military reunions, but we particularly love them when they hit close to home.
A young Fort Worth Marine surprised his mother at work last month and the video is going viral.
Kendall Wilson, 19, had been away from home for six months, training at a base in Jacksonville, North Carolina when he came home unannounced.
The surprise reunion was caught on Tonya's camera by her other son Christian who was in on the surprise.
His mother, who works at a salon, didn't know he was coming home, until he walked up behind on her as she washed a client's hair.
Tonya turns around and shriek's "Oh my God, Kendall!" strips off her gloves and hugs her son tight -- first it's total elation, then the tears come.
She pulls away several times to look at him as if processing that her son is home and even saying, "you surprised me."
