Columbus mother receives surprise visitor

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – A Columbus mother received a special surprise Thursday afternoon.

Tracy Risher was certainly shocked to see her son, Buck, home from an eight month deployment.

The Marine had planned for weeks to reunite with his mom at Columbus Middle School, where she works.

Buck Risher has been serving in the Middle East.

The family hasn’t seen each other in several months and they’re ready to catch up.

“I couldn’t believe it. I was in total shock. It was the last thing I thought I was going to see, because I thought he was still in the Middle East,” said Mrs. Rishers.

“Just hangout with my friends and family. I miss them. Just kind of relax and de-stress from this deployment. That’s just about it,” said LCPL Risher.

Buck said he’s also looking forward to some good home cooking.
