Was at a HS bball game yesterday and right before the national anthem.....the public address guy announced that there was a special guest at the game.....at that moment a man in full military fatigues walked into the gym.

A girl with her HS uniform took off running across the gym and jumped on him for a big hug. Her dad had surprised her getting home from Afghanistan. It was pretty cool. Not a dry eye in the place.

This hasn't been original for years....but it's always great to see.

It was original to the young girl and her father and that is what mattered!

I'll bet the serviceman and chick at the Bengals game wish they had done this somewhere else today after watching Manzier totally suck.
