Boy Called To Principal's Office Surprised By Marine Brother

A boy was called to the principal's office for an "incident at recess" but left stunned when his Marine brother had returned home and was waiting there to surprise him. Staff at Koen Hazeltine's school, in Troy, Ohio, were more than happy to go along with the surprise, put together on the spot by his brother, Brandon Orsi, and mom Stacie Meyers. Brandon and little brother Koen, aged 10, have always been close, with Koen dubbed "Brandon 2.0" by family members because he shares the same personality traits and mannerisms as his older brother. Based at his permanent duty station in Jacksonville, North Carolina, Brandon, a helicopter airframe mechanic, was given news he had a three-day weekend coming up – so he immediately purchased a flight home and was at the airport within an hour. Brandon first surprised his mom on a video call once he had landed, before the pair decided they had to head to Koen's school for the biggest surprise of all. After being taken to the principal's office, Brandon was told Koen would be asked to leave his class because of an incident at recess that the principal would like to speak to him about. When the confused 10-year-old entered the room, on May 16, his principal said, "What did you do?”, before Koen then spotted his beloved brother across the room. He immediately headed over to Brandon for a long-awaited hug, crying in his older brother's arms after more than four months apart.
