Soldier Dresses As Santa To Surprise Mom At Hospital With Early Homecoming

The staff at Ocean Medical Center were celebrating on Christmas Eve and handing out the Secret Santa gifts when they called up Leslie, one of their nurses. Little did she know that the staff had planned an extra special surprise for her that involved her son, Travis Ruggiero, an Army Specialist serving overseas in Afghanistan.

Leslie is handed an envelope with a handwritten letter from her son, which when she reads, makes her burst out in tears. She’s so busy reading his letter, that she doesn’t notice when Santa get up and stands behind her…and when he pulls off his wig and beard, it’s none other than Travis!

Watch what happens when Leslie turns around and finally recognizes it’s her son.

Share this touching moment with your friends!
