These stories and videos always get me. This one is fantastic because of how this Dad surprised his two kids.
It happened down in Virginia last week. He had just returned after being overseas in the Army for 2 years. His two kids had no ideas he was coming home. So he got the local TV station to bring their cameras and showed up at their schools. His daughter was obviously very excited to see him. Then his son, who is a little younger, broke down in tears after he sat next to him at the lunch table.
Here is the video. Might want to grab the tissues.
