A Great Surprise for a Retiring Marine
Last week, a retiring U.S. Marine got the surprise of his life and a fitting one for a 21-year military veteran.
Master Sergeant Jacinto Bernardo, an Iraq war veteran who recently retired after serving 21 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, asked his old Marine buddy Jeremy Epperson to watch his new home in Suisun, California, while he was stationed in Japan with his family. The home was a major fixer-upper because it was all the Bernardo family could afford.
Epperson gladly agreed to watch his Marine brothers home, though he had much bigger plans in mind.

I love this story! What a wonderful friend.

The Marine Corp Family - Semper Fi - can't beat it with a stick.
Oh....how touching! Kindness and loyalty still exists!
Very cool little video. Thanks, this is heartwarming.
Very Nice. People that have never been in the service don't really get the bond these men and women have. This is how you take care of your brother.
Well said, Spike, and true.
