An Indiana member of the military surprised everyone in his family by coming home almost a month early from serving overseas. He also got a surprise of his own, after arriving back to the house he'd left eight months earlier.

Navy Lieutenant, Pete Sharrai, a big fan of Good News Network, submitted this story because it features an officer who worked for him while deployed in Bahrain.

His orders were cut by a month and, instead of telling his family he was coming home early, he opted to surprise them.

"I'm happy that he's safe at home with his family," said Sharrai. "It was an honor and a privilege to work with him."
