Marines

We never get tired of watching families reunite after long tours of duty in the military. Watch what happens when this Marine returns from Afghanistan and surprises his little brother with a public reunion in front of his B-ball buddies.

You'd think that, after serving two tours in Afghanistan, the marine in this video would be prepared for something as relatively harmless as a giant slingshot amusement park ride. Instead, the soldier, whose name is Adam, shrieks and howls like a little girl as he's catapulted into the air along with a friend.

Like many of our men and women in uniform, Marine Corps Master Sgt. Robert Allen will be away from his family this Christmas. To help deal with the separation, the 15-year veteran of the corps, who is deployed in Afghanistan, wrote a touching song about missing his wife, who is back home in Pawnee, Oklahoma.

Last Friday, actress Mila Kunis kept her promise and attended the Marine Corps Ball with Sgt. Scott Moore in North Carolina. It's safe to say he was the envy of every other guy there.
