TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) – It was a big surprise for a student at Lawhon Elementary School in Tupelo, who hasn’t seen her cousin in months because he is in the Marines. Lance Corporal Benjamin Juron just returned home from a six month tour of duty in Japan. He and his 9 year old cousin, Elizabeth Barnett, are close, so he showed up this afternoon at her class for a surprise visit. Lance Corporal Juron says his cousin wasn’t too surprised to see him, because he has to leave for months at a time.

“She’s gotten used to it now because she’s used to me disappearing for a while and then coming back home, so.”

Juron will spend one week in Tupelo before he heads to South Carolina where he is stationed.
