Ellen Reunites Superfan with Her Navy Boyfriend

As you know, my birthday is this week and I have received many amazing letters from my viewers. Thank you, so I want to read one of the letters I received good morning, Miss Ellen, my name is Noah Copeland and I. I am a supply officer in the United States Navy, first of all I want to wish you a happy birthday. I'm currently deployed overseas, but I make sure my girlfriend keeps me informed about what's going on with the program my beautiful girlfriend Maura has. To be your biggest fan, she watches your show every day and I know that you are the reason she was able to get through this ordeal.

She was supposed to return at the end of January, but things keep getting pushed back and now. I'm not sure when I'll be home since I can't be there with her. I know nothing would make her happier than being able to celebrate your birthday with you at your show in any way, thanks for keeping my girl company while I'm away. We love you and Mara is already here hey Maura, where do you live? Oh here let me tell you I live in San Diego come on you are now but we moved here about a year and a half ago from Massachusetts yeah so you moved. to San Diego and then deployed almost immediately, yes, five months later, by month, yes, did you have friends there?

Did you know anyone there? No, so everything was really sudden, like I went to work on a Friday. and then he came home from work that Friday and they told him like you're done on Sunday so he had to spend two days packing up his entire life basically and leaving for a year and he's been gone for over a year now yeah. God, that's so hard, yeah, and where is he now? His name is Diego García. It is an island that is like in the middle of the Indian Ocean and there is nothing. It's like a military-owned island, so even if I wanted to go visit it, I can't go visit it. and he might, you can't meet each other halfway or anything, oh my gosh, so you watch the show and he watches the show too.

Do you make him watch the program? I'm like a big fan. I write now, but he because I'm a big fan, I made him a fan, basically, we've been watching together while he was away. I'll FaceTime him when I'm watching and you wait with your face humming while you watch the show and he's watching. with you FaceTime, yeah, that's really sweet, okay, and when he's coming home, he just said it's still delayed, but we don't know, especially since the government just shut down all the flights we're going out there, they were canceled and he didn't he may leave, so I have no idea when he will return home.

You know you had the ripple effect of the government shutdown. He's used to thinking it's something unique and it's like even that is horrible. Well, he said he loved you. Be on my birthday show, yes, this is not my birthday show, but I want you to be on my birthday show, so bring more tickets for the birthday show. Well, that was fun, wasn't it? It was very fun to watch. because the crowd went crazy and you hugged me, I said, come on brilliant, turn around, so why did you want a surprise? She loves you, she loves you to death, first of all I want to say happy birthday, thank you, really, birthday, thank you.

You, but you know she was in the position. I was deployed for a year and she is alone in San Diego. Her sister lives in Los Angeles and she just wanted to make something special for my friends when they get back from wherever they were. the pier and his girlfriends are there and we couldn't get it so I wrote and it happened, it happened, it happened, we made it happen, it's so good, so you had a trip planned, was it for your honeymoon? somewhere right and like because he's been away for so long we wanted to do something special when he got home so we were going to go to Puerto Rico and I actually watched the episode as I watch every episode except the episode with Ricky Martin when went to Puerto Rico and obviously we had to cancel that trip because they're still young Shambo, but I texted her and said, "Oh my God, I just look at Ellen like that, it's so sad that these poor people have absolutely nothing like them." , they can not".

I can even believe how they are treating them and it still made me so sad and I told them we had to do something so we took all the money we had spent on that trip and donated it to Ricky Martin's fund, that's amazing, we just wanted to do it. everything we could, I knew our trip wasn't going to work there and yeah, I just saw those people and the animals and everything I mean, there are people that have been powerless and even they're still out, not yet, it's still so sad, yes, believe it very well, you are very sweet to do that and I love you both.

I can't give you a gift because you can't accept anything because you're in the army, but I can give you. you are a gift, that's fine and if you choose to include it, that's your business.
