A mom of three, whose middle child was deployed to Germany with the U.S. Army, got the surprise of her life when he popped up during a family vacation to surprise her. The magical moment was caught on camera.

Middle school Spanish teacher Monica Palao, 55, was on vacation in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, when her daughter Cristina Peters, 27, suggested the family record a video for 24-year-old William Peters, her younger brother who was deployed to Vilseck, Germany, and could not join them, or so Ms. Palao thought.
