WATCH: Two Stoughton Servicemen Surprise Family with Return
Student Kaitlyn Wanders and a 4th grader didn't expect to see their family members from the armed services in school.
STOUGHTON, MA — A recent chorus concert at O’Donnell Middle School will be remembered for more than a performance of holiday tunes.
Two songs into the performance, Corporal Colin Reilly USMC, brother of performer Kaitlyn Wanders, enters the room for a surprise homecoming. The Stoughton Public Schools said that Reilly was overseas for two years before returning home.
The concert for students had only a few other invited guests, including some parents and Reilly's mother.
