Teen Looks Stunned When Airman Brother Photobombs His Family's Festive Photo

A teenage boy broke down in tears when his airman brother returned from deployment in the Middle East to surprised him by photobombing a family photo. Easton Gunsell, 13, had not seen his brother Braden Locker, 22, for a year before the big surprise. The brothers are extremely close, and so when Braden got the news that he could travel home for the holidays, he started liaising with his mom and aunt to figure out a way to surprise his younger sibling. It was decided that Braden – who is from Flushing, Michigan – would first surprise his cousin's at his aunt's house, before waiting for Easton to arrive. The family then set up a faux photoshoot, which Braden quietly snuck into the background of. After the snap was taken, Easton was shown the photo. As the teenager scanned the image, his jaw then dropped in shock as he recognized the person standing behind him. Turning around, Easton, with tears in his eyes, then headed over to his brother for a long-awaited hug.
