Soldier Photobombs Mom After 11-Month Deployment

A mom having her photo taken with a bouquet of flowers she thought her soldier daughter had sent from deployment cried tears of happiness when she realized she'd photobombed the snap. Yoamna Rodriguez, 35, a sergeant with the United States Army Reserve from Miami, Florida, said her mom, Idolidia Baez, 59, has been her biggest supporter throughout her military career. The 11 months she had been based in the Middle East had been tough on the family, with Idolidia constantly worried about her daughter's safety. When Yoamna received news she would be headed home after nearly a year, she wanted to plan a big surprise for her biggest supporter.
