Teen Runs From Flag Football Huddle When She's Surprised By Soldier Brother After Two Years Apart

An emotional teen ran from her flag football game in tears of happiness when she was surprised by her soldier brother, who she'd not seen in two years. Brielle Von Colln, 17, from Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, shares an incredibly close bond with her brother, Eric, 21, a corporal with the United States Army. The pair have always had each other's backs, Brielle said, but with Eric now being based overseas, the past few years have been tough for the siblings. Eric left the United States four years ago, and it had been two years since he last saw Brielle when he started working on the surprise. Having been granted leave, Eric turned to his father to help plan his surprise reunion. On March 27, during his sister's flag football game at high school, Eric waited in the end zone for his sister to catch his eye. When Brielle saw her brother's face, her mind immediately said "run," and she sprinted towards her sibling in tears for an emotional reunion hug.
