Special Surprise for New Jersey 2nd Grader When Soldier Dad Returns Early

A surprise reunion at B. Bernice Young Elementary School in South Jersey Friday, when 2nd grader Joseph Adams was surprised by his father, Joseph Senior, after he was deployed in South Korea for the past year.

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.
