Watch a family fulfill a brother and sister's dream of seeing the ocean
Alicia's first glimpse of the ocean produced a tidal wave of emotion.
Growing up in landlocked Oklahoma, Alicia and her family lived nowhere near a beach. However, she and her brother often dreamed they'd see the sea together one day.
Sadly, her brother was shot and killed in Wewoka, Oklahoma, without ever making it to the coast.
Soon after the tragedy, Alicia headed to basic combat training in Fort Jackson, South Carolina. And, on her graduation, she and her family lived the dream she'd shared with her brother when they paid an emotional visit to an Atlantic resort called Isle of Palms to see the ocean for the first time.
Watch this family's touching reaction to their first-ever view of the ocean.
