It was a very special surprise for one second grader in South Jersey Friday.
Army Specialist Joseph Adams returned from deployment in South Korea a little early to surprise his son Joseph Jr. at B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington.
Students from the school gathered for a special safety assembly, but, instead of Joseph's card having a safety message written on it, his card had a very special message.
It read, "My dad just came home from South Korea and is standing RIGHT BEHIND ME!"
Students gave Joseph clues, then his dad emergend from behind a curtain to complete the surprise.
Specialist Adams' wife Tammy, a former student of the Young School, and their 4-year-old son were also at the school for the special reunion, just in time for Valentine's Day.
Specialist Adams has served in the Army for nearly 9 years and was deployed to Iraq in 2009-10.
