'So Happy They Are Here': Marines Return, Surprise Sister Before Her Graduation

Sergeant Raven Goodlow and Corporal Jesse Goodlow surprised their sister Victoria Goodlow during McKeesport Area High School's graduation practice two days before her 2025 ceremony near Pittsburgh.
The brothers, who had been stationed overseas in Okinawa for about two years, made the trek home despite the difficulty of keeping the reunion secret from their mother, Psalmist Wilhemina Goodlow.
Victoria is the youngest of seven siblings, her Marine father died when she was two, and their mother said Victoria had always wanted this moment with her brothers.
Victoria expressed that their attendance is rare, so having them present is very meaningful, and Raven noted that the occasion will be even more special on Thursday when Victoria graduates.
The emotional reunion brought joy, especially to their mother, gave Victoria extra time with friends before graduation, and underscored strong family bonds despite military absences.
