This Marine’s wife tried to keep a secret from him for months. A career in the military means being away from home from time to time. And when they are, many soldiers are separated from their families. This sometimes leads to painful but beautiful stories. Take, for example, U.S. Marine Chris Daugherty, who got a very special surprise when he returned home after his service… Curious to find out what happened next in this Marine’s homecoming story?
Goodbye
When Daugherty left home in January 2017, he initially expected to be away for about five months. A few months later, however, it became clear that his trip would be extended. An unexpected twist, but nothing compared to the shock waiting for him when he returned… Daugherty, his wife Natasha, and their three children were no strangers to Marine family life. The Marine had already been away from home for long stretches, so when he left for Korea in early 2017, the family knew what to expect.
