Bethany Bronson and her children were at the beach when they got a little underwater surprise (no, not sharks). Bronson's husband popped out of the water, decked out in scuba gear, for an early homecoming with his family.
Bronson's husband had been away for nine months -- six in Afghanistan and three in domestic training. The family wasn't expecting him to return for another three weeks.
Watch the video above to see his clever surprise that turned a casual day at the beach into a heartfelt reunion. Have your tissues at the ready, people.
