Here’s one surprise that you definitely don’t want to miss this holiday season…
If you haven’t already noticed, we’re pretty big fans of our brave military men and women here at LifeDaily. We love featuring stories about soldiers and their families, knowing just how much these heroes sacrifice to help protect and serve the rest of our nation.
As you can see in this touching tribute one family designed for veterans in their neighborhood, it’s especially important to give thanks and remember our soldiers during this time of year, as so many of them don’t get to make it home for the holidays.
The Martins of Detroit, MI are the perfect example of a military family missing their loved one, believing youngest son Marine Pvt. Shane Martin would be far away on Christmas day.

The family believed they were being interviewed by local news station WXYZ about missing Shane during the holidays and they couldn’t be any prouder of their soldier, sporting their Marines gear for the segment.

Then, when Shane’s parents start talking to the interviewer, his mom instantly breaks down and breaks our hearts, describing their first Christmas without Shane.
“It’s very hard to describe, like a piece of us is missing. We are usually all together for the holidays, so this one is going to be very difficult” mom Toni Martin tells WXYZ in the video below.

What happened next is bound to put a smile on your face! It makes us so happy that just like these little girls, who got a huge surprise from Santa Claus, the Martins get to spend this special time of year with their entire family.
