Thomas Rhett delivered a sneaky-but-heartwarming surprise to four lucky military moms in celebration of this year’s Mother’s Day (May 12th). Partnering with Crown Royal, he pulled an unexpected family reunion that may require a Kleenex to watch.

In a video message posted to Instagram, Rhett explains that “there’s no one more generous than moms, especially the moms of those who serve our country.” According to People.com, Rhett and Crown Royal lured the four military moms down to Florida, where they thought they would share their stories and fill care packages for active duty service members overseas as part of the Crown Royal Purple Bag Project. But Rhett had a different idea in mind.

After asking one unwitting mom what her proudest moment as a mother would be, she responded “Welcoming them home,” and then the true reason for their trip was revealed. Each of the mom’s four children emerged for a tearful round of hugs and a joyful moment none of them will ever forget.

“This is the most beautiful thing in the whole world,” said one as she held her son tight.

Rhett’s current single, “Look What God Gave Her,” is inside the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart – and it was inspired by his wife Lauren, who is also a mother in her own right to the couple’s two daughters, Ada James and Willa Gray. He’ll be out on the road for his Very Hot Summer Tour with Dustin Lynch and Russell Dickerson starting May 17th in Spokane, Washington.
