Sometimes the toughest battle a soldier faces is when they returned home.When James came back from deployment he was lost, hopeless, depressed and on the verge of suicide. He was about to commit suicide when his phone rang and another veteran he'd never met before reached out to him.

The other veteran, Mary, stayed connected with James through the night and became his guardian angel. The company Kleenex heard about the story and set up Mary and Jame's first face-to-face meeting. Watch the tear filled reunion here.
