Soldier surprises mom
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
One Northeast Florida mother got a surprise truly fitting for an Independence Day weekend. She hadn't seen her son in a year because he was serving in Afghanistan with the U.S. Army National Guard.
U.S. Army National Guard Spc. Kyler Lunman didn't tell his mother, Kathleen Lunman, he was coming home. She hadn't seen him since he left for service a year ago, and as a USO volunteer Lunman thought she was at Jacksonville International Airport on Saturday to greet someone else. She was surprised to see her son running toward her.
"My son is home. And here we thought that we were welcoming a Navy pilot who was coming in who didn't have any family and then my little boy. I can't even talk I'm so happy. What a surprise I thank everybody so much," said Lunman.
This is a change for Lunman. As a USO volunteer she's been in the airport like this before, but always to welcome other servicemen and women, never her own.
And for the last year she'd been waiting and worrying about her son serving in Afghanistan.
