For Father's Day: the story of former Paratrooper, Sam Sank.
"It was the proudest day for both my parents and myself...we are blessed to have had this day together and now it serves as a memory and dedication to my father. Seeing me as a soldier was his greatest joy."
(The surprise took place on the day of Sam's swearing in ceremony in 2010.)
Sam's father suffered from Multiple Sclerosis. He passed away eight months ago today.
