U.S. Army soldier Zachary Stone surprised his sister Tuesday at Longwood High School.
Stone returned home following a yearlong deployment in Poland.
His sister, Erika Stone, says it is a blessing to have her family back together for the holidays.
"I don't really like surprises, but it was great that he put the thought and effort into coming home and seeing me," Erika Stone says. "I love him so much and I'm really grateful."
