Mississippi Airman's Return Home Leaves Family in Shock

An airman’s return home to Mississippi after being away for three months made a huge impact on his family, with a TikTok video capturing the dramatic entrance, and impressive response.

Mom Elizabeth Brister was recording as emotions ran super high when her son Jared entered their home in Jackson.

The funny scene shows Jared’s laid-back “how y’all doing?” greeted with shouts, screams and lots of jumping around.
