Veteran who hasn’t seen Marine grandson in years gets a special gift on his birthday (VIDEO)

We often consider men serving in the military as the toughest men on Earth. And with that is the assumption that they’re devoid of emotions. Here’s something that runs contrary to popular belief, though. The toughest men do cry. A marine surprised his grandfather after two years of being apart.

His family members surrounded him and the kids are even running nearby.They were trying to take a picture of him.Or, that’s what he thought.Little did he know, his family had already conspired for a surprise.They timed it for his birthday.Leaning on his cane, he posed for the camera.

Then, in an instant, a man in a marine uniform stepped into the frame and stood right beside him.

At first, Jeffrey didn’t notice him.

Maybe it was the soldier’s instinct. Or, perhaps it was the grandfather’s instinct that urged him to turn slowly to the man right beside him.

When he laid eyes on the dashing young man right beside him, Anderson almost fell.

He didn’t hold back his emotions. The man in the marine uniform is Anderson and he is Jeffrey’s grandson.

So it’s not surprising that the older man was overwhelmed with emotions when he saw his grandson in his uniform for the first time.

The two shared a long hug. Maybe making up for all those hugs they missed before.

Jeffrey was crying so hard that he couldn’t even stand properly.

And even if he wasn’t standing on his cane, he tried his best to stand just so he could properly hold his grandson.

At one point, family members propped him up subtly, taking turns as Jeffrey wasn’t planning on breaking the hug.

It was a truly heartwarming moment. A moment that resonated with a lot of people on the internet.

“Marine grandfather seeing his grandson in the same uniform must be just a rush of everything all at once. God bless the Corps!” one comment said, describing what Jeffrey would’ve felt – a combination of pride and nostalgia since he also served in the Marines himself.

“This one hit. Hard. I’m a grandpa waiting to see my grandson come home after boot camp. And I’m already crying. God Bless them both,” another comment said, providing perspective from the other side.

Indeed, it’s hard not to shed a tear.

“That is one tough gentleman standing there. Despite whatever medical condition he is fighting, go back and watch the video again and have a look at how straight and dignified that stoic man’s posture and stance are. The only thing that threw him a little off balance was seeing his grandson which melted him and his heart,” said another comment, which perfectly sums up the entire video.

MAN GIVES HIS ENTIRE SALARY TO A WOMAN WITH A CHILD ASKING FOR MONEY FOR A TICKET — NEXT DAY, A LARGE WHITE LIMOUSINE PULLS UP TO HIS HOUSE. Greg, exhausted after a day at the construction site, was on his way home when a woman holding a baby caught his eye at the station. “COULD YOU PLEASE LEND ME SOME MONEY FOR A TICKET?” she asked, her voice trembling. Greg hesitated, feeling the weight of his salary in his pocket. He’d seen people like this before, but something about this woman felt different. She was well-dressed yet slightly out of season, she looked weary, and the baby — no more than three — was neatly bundled. Against his better judgment, Greg decided to help. He took her to a café, and in a moment of generosity, handed her his entire paycheck, meant for his kids’ education. “Thank you!” she exclaimed, tears brimming in her eyes. But before Greg could respond, she rushed out of the café, disappearing into the crowd. When Greg returned home, his wife, Diana, was SHOCKED to learn that he had given all his salary to a stranger with a child who was asking for money for a ticket at the train station. The next day, a huge white limousine pulled up to their house. Greg and Diana exchanged bewildered glances. A man in a black suit stepped out, approached their door, and knocked. ⬇️
