North Escambia Airman Surprises Sisters After Two Years Overseas
April 21, 2018
Three North Escambia students received a big surprise Friday as their older brother in the Air Force returned home on leave after two years in Okinawa Japan.
Noah Coker, a 2016 graduate of Northview High School, surprised his sisters at Bratt Elementary School, Ernest Ward Middle School and Northview High School.
At Ernest Ward Middle, the surprise occurred in front of a crowded lunchroom. Principal Nancy Perry called seventh grader Britney Kimbler front and center, turned her away from a door as Noah walked in. Britney turned and sprinted to Noah for a big hug.

What a great moment I would like to tell Noah Thank You for your service and I would like to say to his Daddy and Mama Thank You for raising a great young man that is willing to sacrifice for my freedom and thank you and your family for your sacrifice for being separated from him glad he is home safe and sound it may only be a short visit but enjoy and cherish every little moment. And Noah stay safe when you go back and please tell all the other men and women I send my thanks and gratitude.
GOD BLESS THE USA
This brought a tear to my eyes thank you for service thank God for your safe journey home, thank God for how you did it knowing what you did and doing for our country l. God Bless as i have family serving but didn’t realize how much you think about your family until it is them that is sent, as from a family who only had a couple of deployment before you really understand. Our service women and men don’t get paid enough, to me…
CONGRADULATION UR HOME,,,ENJOY UR FAMILY N FRIENDS,,,THANKS FOR HONORING OUR COUNTRY..
Welcome home even if it is just a visit. Be safe and take care.
What a great surprise! Thank you for your service young man! May God keep his hand on you and all our military.
The love of family is so special! We were all sitting at the table with Britney till Mrs.Perry called her and she called one of the teachers and then she saw her brother and he was so adorable 2 years away from your loved one. I started crying because it was so emotional. But I’m glad that your brother is back. Love The Coker Family.
This ones got my heart! A great story for this family to remember forever. A big thank you to all of them for sharing their son and brother with us too as he serves in the US Air Force!
The love of family is what sustains us all. Two years of separation and the joy of reunion shows how strong those bonds are. May the family enjoy their time together and celebrate those bonds.
