A day like Valentine’s Day should be spent with someone who you truly love. On this very special day, men and women are usually found going the extra mile to show off their love for their significant other, but not everybody gets the chance to spend February 14th with the one they love. Never say never. One lucky girlfriend got the surprise of her life from her boyfriend who serves in the U.S Marines on Valentine’s Day.

The soldier was able to come home earlier than expected so he used the opportunity to surprise his girlfriend. He filmed a documentary of his travels back to the U.S. The Marine traveled from Afghanistan to Kyrgyzstan and Germany all the way to Greensboro, North Carolina.

All dressed in uniform with a bouquet of red roses, the Marine waited for his girlfriend outside the movie theater. The girlfriend’s reaction was priceless. She jumped right into the arms of her boyfriend from excitement. They had the spectators around them clapping and in tears. On such a special day, it should truly be spent with the one you love.
