In a most heartwarming video, parents of a lone soldier in the IDF came from the United States to surprise their son for his swearing-in ceremony!

There are thousands of lone soldiers currently serving in the Israel Defense Forces. A lone soldier has no immediate family in Israel. He or she usually comes from another country in order to serve as a volunteer.

When family does come to visit their sons or daughters, they often surprise them and end up being the most touching and heartwarming events ever.

Watch as Lori and Robert, the parents of a lone soldier in the IDF, surprise their son for his army swearing-in ceremony. Get your tissues!
