How Cool Is This?

From the Minot Daily News: Jim Hill Middle School sixth-grader Autumn Burns wasn't sure what was going on when her homeroom teacher, Patrice Mitchell, told her to start running toward the school gymnasium on Friday afternoon.
"I thought I was in trouble," said Autumn. As she neared the gym, she heard her classmates chanting "USA! USA! USA!" more and more loudly and felt even more bewildered.
"I wondered what was going on," Autumn said.
When she ran through the side entrance to the gym, she saw her classmates were lined up in a row in the center of the gym, holding up American flags. In the center of the gym was her dad, U.S. Air Force Reserves Tech. Sgt. Paul Burns, who has been deployed to Iraq since last summer. Autumn burst into tears and ran to hug her dad.
Autumn said she's seen other kids being surprised the same way on TV and told her mom how neat it would be if her dad surprised her this way when he came home. But when it actually happened, it seemed to come as a wonderful surprise.
"I'm happy," she said afterwards, still clinging to her father. Her dad has been gone for months. It has been stressful to have her dad gone since the Burns house was flooded during this past summer's catastrophic flood. Autumn's mom, Kim Burns, who is a third-grade teacher at North Plains Elementary at Minot Air Force Base, said she wasn't sure how she'd get her husband there in time when Autumn's teacher called her Friday with the school's plan. Fortunately, it all worked out.
Paul Burns, who is also a patrol sergeant with the Minot Police Department, said the scale of his welcome home was a lot larger than he had been expecting. He had planned to surprise his daughter by picking her up in her classroom but was surprised by a welcome befitting a hero. Some of his colleagues from the Minot Police Department were also on hand to welcome him home.

I can never tire of these stories and this story is no exception. Considering that that this family has gone through- father gone for many months and having their home flooded out, so for the daughter to welcome home her father like this is just fantastic.
