Surprise Military Family Welcome Home at South Carolina Football Game
Get your hankies out...you're going to need them....wow....
 The Faile family from Kershaw, South Carolina, was the Columbia Metropolitan Airport Military Family of the Game, set to be recognized on the field. Their first surprise was a message to them from their dad/husband, Sergeant First Class Scott Faile, playing on the video board, followed by an even bigger surprise. The Gamecocks would go on to beat Georgia, 35-7, just as Sgt. Faile predicted.

Kind of nice how some of these families will give the rest of us a glimpse of the sacrifice they make.
Momma is fast and gave a bit of elbow getting by her daughter.

Seeing those families reunited always gets me. Same with the goodbyes, I watched a wife and son saying goodbye to the husband/dad at the airport, that was a challenge to keep composed. As a husband and father I can't imagine the sacrifice that our men and women in uniform make, God bless them for their service.

That was nice. There are a couple of compilation videos of those surprise homecomings that are real tear-jerkers.
