Back from The War

When I returned from my year serving in Vietnam, I arrived a couple of weeks earlier than expected. (Nixon was trying to reduce the number of people in-country). I knew my sister was having a birthday party for my Mom, so I had a friend pick me up at the airport and drive me there. I hid upstairs at my sister's place till the guests were all there and then just waked downstairs in uniform. It wasn't quite the same as this Sergeant surprising his daughter, but it was an emotional moment nonetheless.
