Decked out in his uniform, the hubby clinked glasses with his wife to mark the huge milestone. They beamed with excitement in the clip posted on the TikTok account @lameez818.

"Grateful for this new chapter and the blessing of a new home. All glory to God for His guidance and provision."

The pride and patriotism struck a chord online considering many soldiers are far from home, fighting in the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
