U.S. Navy Senior Quartermaster Surprises His Daughter at School Field Day

June 27, 2012

It was a field day at Schuylerville Elementary in Schuylerville, New York on Wednesday, June 13th. First grader Emma Pickett was playing the games and doing the things kids do. But she wasn’t expecting this surprise visit.

Gone for nearly eight months, Emma was truly shocked to see her dad.

“I thought he would never come and he did, I really do miss him 100 percent,” says Emma.

Right at .59 seconds, when her tears started, well so did mine. What a beautiful story. Thank you sharing it with all of us and thank you to Mr. Pickett for his protection of our nation and our freedom. And very special to Emma for loving and honoring her father so much, and for allowing her father to protect our freedom.
