U.S. Military Airman Surprises Son at his Football Game (Emotional Version) Surprise!

    52nd Fighter Wing
    When Master Sgt. Joseph Martell returned home from deployment in Afghanistan a month early, he took it as an opportunity to surprise his teenage son. After landing, he and his wife headed straight to Brussels, Belgium, to his son Justin's high school football game. While showing up at the game unannounced probably would have been surprise enough, Martell took it a step further. He put on the opposing team's jersey and joined his son on the playing field when the referee called a meeting on the 50-yard line. It takes Justin all of three seconds to recognize his dad once the U.S. airman removes his helmet. "I thought he was - I don't even know how many miles [away], and the next thing I know he's standing in front of me and I'm giving him a hug," Justin told Spangdahelm Air Base. Now that's one of the best displays of good sportsmanship we've seen in a while.

    Men/boys, Ladys and girls you can never be to old to hug, kiss and cry for your parents. Hug and kiss them every day you see them.

    I’m a military kid born in 1992 (if you all are familiar that shows how often my dad had to leave me and my mom by ourselves) and i respect the military but I never realized how much it traumatized me as a child to have my dad leave for 6+ months, multiple times, not knowing if he would come back from deployment. I cried like this every time he came back too idgaf! I’m getting emotional watching this 😭
