By John CallahanWednesday, October 15, 2014

The community at Rutgers University wanted to honor a Marine during a football game. The school asked his dad to stand in and accept the award for him.

The dad went up gladly and represented his son who had been in Afghanistan fighting for our freedom. As he was cheering him on a surprise came that he never expected! His son came running out of the tunnel and hugged him in the end zone.

Be sure to have a box of tissues nearby for this heartwarming reunion.
