TUPELO, Miss. (AP) Staff Sgt. Michael Otts returned to Mississippi on Wednesday after an 11-month deployment with the U.S. Army National Guard to surprise his son at Lawndale Elementary School.
Lawndale Principal Talina Knight told Otts’ son, fourth grader Corbin, and his classmates that this was a special week to honor heroes in our nation, so a guest speaker would be dropping by the school to speak with them.
When the “guest speaker” walked through the door to the media center, it was Michael Otts.
Corbin, 10, sat stunned at his table for a few seconds and waved at his father before embracing him.
