Jessica Freedman didn't think her brother would be able to see her graduate from college at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA earlier this month.

To her knowledge, Eric Freedman, a 20-year-old Lance Corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps, was still in Afghanistan. The two hadn't seen each other in seven months.

They should give the man an honorary doctorate for that! Then I would cry too!
