YouTube Sensation

Like many other videos uploaded to YouTube, families that post surprise visits from family members, especially those in the military, end up going viral. And this video wasn’t any different. In the first couple of days, it already had 90,000 views, but incredibly it has now reached over 2.5 million views since then.

The Best Homecoming Ever

People were happy to share their comments on Erik Richters’ video. One particular viewer, Annie Mee, had said, “This is the best homecoming video I’ve seen. LOVE IT. :D” with many others thanking the young Lance Corporal Rowan Richter for his service.
