Soldier Surprises Cousin While He's Fixing Car

A boy helping his family fix a car jumped back from under the hood in shock when his cousin returned home from deployment to surprise him. Colby LeBrun, 13, couldn’t believe his eyes when cousin Robert "Bobby" LeBrun Jr., 23, walked into the family barn in Derry, New Hampshire. Having swiftly moved back from the vehicle he was working on, a stunned Colby then leaped into Bobby's arms for a much-needed hug. Colby's mom, Gina, said the pair are extremely close and spent almost every day together before Bobby left for deployment. Bobby is a specialist with the Army National Guard, and before the surprise he had been based in the Middle East for nine months. Colby didn’t know Bobby was back in the U.S. making the February 1 surprise even more special.
