My dear friend Luis Martinez joined the Air Force earlier this year, and has been all over the country for the past six months or so.

He came home for Christmas this week, but did not tell his girlfriend. In fact, he had told her that he failed a test and wouldn't be permitted to return home for the holidays.

He returned Saturday afternoon, and fortunately I was able to capture the moment of surprise when he walked through the door.

Merry Christmas!
