RALEIGH, N.C. — A North Carolina middle schooler got a big holiday surprise when her older sister came home from Army duty Wednesday.
Sergeant Danielle Hammonds rarely gets to come home for Christmas, but she returned to Raleigh this year, and is grateful to spend time with her younger sister.
"Since she was born, I’ve always been overseas -- I've always been away from her," Hammonds said.
