A surprise gift could be the launchpad for a lucrative new career for a retiring soldier.

Renardo Benjamin of Fayetteville, North Carolina, a 25-year-old specialist with the U.S. Army, had discussed with his wife Keke the idea of starting a lawn care business when he retires from the military.

Knowing her husband's passion for yard work, Keke wanted to springboard his efforts and help make his dream a reality. So, secretly, she ordered a brand-new zero-turn lawnmower as a surprise gift. His reaction was priceless!
