Endicott College nursing major Emily Booth hadn’t seen her brother in over a year after he joined the U.S. Marine Corps and left for bootcamp.
But Saturday, as she walked across the stage to accept her diploma, Ryan Booth was there to help hand it to her, making for an emotional reunion for the siblings.
As her brother walks onto the stage, and the brother and sister share an emotional embrace, the crowd erupts in cheers.
Watch their reunion:
