Watch: Soldier Surprises Son

The 5-year-old boy had not seen his dad in a year.

 

Five-year-old Xavier Sanders got a surprise before the start of Saturday's Blackwell Bears homecoming game.

His dad, Staff Sgt. Kelvin Sanders, walked onto the field at Noonday Park, according to 11Alive.

Father and son had not seen each other in a year. The senior Sanders returned Saturday from a year-long deployment to Afghanistan.

Watch the report from 11Alive's Marc McAfee for the touching reunion.
