A ten-year-old boy burst into tears as he led his school in the Pledge of Allegiance - only to be surprised by the return of his soldier father who had been serving in Afghanistan.
Ten-year-old Christopher had taken to wearing a camouflage T-shirt to school in honor of his father Staff Sergeant Luis Bratic who had been away from home for 11 months.
Last Thursday, in the gymnasium of Mason Elementary School in Grand Blanc, Michigan, Christopher led his fourth grade assembly in the words with their hands placed over their hearts.
