Deployed soldier surprises wife at work for their anniversary with early homecoming

When military servicemen on deployment learn of their return-home date, some might start to plan a memorable homecoming to surprise their loved ones. For one soldier from Oregon, he had to go to great lengths to surprise his wife, and his efforts paid off.

Sergeant 1st Class Jason Johnson, a flight medic with the Oregon National Guard, has been on four deployments overseas in his more-than-20-years career as a soldier, and was originally due to return home by Feb. 9, his birthday.
