This surprise reunion between military buddies was two years in the making

A logger's birthday took an unforgettable turn when his best friend showed up as an unexpected surprise.

Devin Barker stood outside, awaiting the unveiling of a birthday gift from the back of a trailer. He was expecting a dirt bike to be behind the door. However, as the door dropped, his Marine best friend Brady Thomas Norton was standing there. The two friends embraced after two years apart. Devin's wife, Becca, orchestrated the heartwarming homecoming.

Watch the video above to see the birthday surprise reunion.

Devin and Brady first met at a Super Bowl party in 2018 after they were deployed together in the same battalion of the Marines.
