Coming home

t was a reunion they would never forget. Christina Villacorte in the Daily News.

When California Army National Guardsman Maj. Noland Flores arrived home from his last tour of duty in Iraq a few hours earlier than expected, he and his wife decided to surprise their kids.

"We were hiding, waiting for them to come down the hill, and then Noland just jumped out," Lizabeth Flores recounted.

"The kids couldn't believe it," she added with a laugh. "They didn't even move, they just stood there across the street and then they ran and they just jumped on him."
