Toby Keith Reunited a Soldier and His Wife at One of His Concerts.

This happened a little over a week ago, but it's just getting around. It's a video of TOBY KEITH surprising a military wife who thought her husband was still on duty in Afghanistan. Toby pulled the woman out of the audience and asked her to hang around and help him sing "American Soldier". When the song ended her husband, Major Pete Cruz, came walking from the back of the stage and totally surprised her. It's beyond moving to see how much they missed each other. Have the box of tissues ready. Way to go Toby!

A Nine-Year-Old Boy Made a Series of Trades, and Turned a Toy Soldier Into a Trip to Disney World for a Fallen Soldier's Family

Back in February, nine-year-old Brendan Haas of Kingston, Massachusetts heard about the famous website One Red Paperclip . . . which is the story of how a guy used a series of trades to turn one red paperclip into a house. Brendan decided he wanted to try something similar . . . but he wanted to use his trades to help out the family of a fallen U.S. soldier. So he set up a Facebook page to trade one toy soldier for a trip to Disney World. The trade offers he got were VERY generous. He traded the toy soldier for a $50 Walmart gift card. That got him an overnight spa trip. That led to Red Sox tickets. Those led to a snowmobiling trip. And from there, he got the Disney World trip. On Memorial Day, he randomly picked one of the families of fallen soldiers who had emailed him. He chose the family of a soldier named Timothy Steele and sent them to Disney World, including airfare, hotel, and $900 in gift certificates. Steele was killed in Afghanistan last August at age 25. He left behind a wife and a two-year-old daughter . . . who coincidentally lived pretty close to Brendan, in Duxbury, Massachusetts.

A U.S. Marine Returned From Afghanistan and Surprised His Sister at Graduation.

At the Cal Poly graduation ceremony earlier this month in California, they stopped in the middle to talk about a graduate's brother, who was serving a tour in Afghanistan. And the girl immediately started crying. Then she saw her brother standing in uniform at the other end of the stage and REALLY started crying.(They stop the ceremony at 1:07, and she sees him at 1:26.)

Yet Another GREAT Marriage Proposal!

At a Kansas City Royals game on Monday, they played a message on the jumbo screen from a soldier asking his girlfriend to marry him. Then the soldier showed up in person to give her the ring. The sound in the video is horrible, but it doesn't really matter. The best part is when she sees him on top of the dugout, sprints to him, and gives him a huge hug.
