[VIDEO] Watch Military Father Surprises Daughter With Homecoming

For 7-year-old Lea Hockenberry, it was just an ordinary Monday morning. She was not expecting an emotional reunion with her dad that will tug at the heartstrings of everyone watching.

Lea was leading a class assembly Monday morning when her dad, Airman First Class Amery Hockenberry showed up. The 7-year old little girl couldn't help but tear up upon seeing her dad after months of being away. He had been set out to the United Arab Emirates.


Since her dad was away during the holidays, the family decided to wait to celebrate Christmas until he arrives. It may be a tad late but celebrating Christmas with the family complete is always better.

Reunions like this are always special. Especially in cases when one of the parents is away, constantly facing danger in order to serve their country. This life-touching moment makes you realize how lucky you are to have your dad or mom with you all the time. However, if you're just like Lea, time spent with them makes it more special. 

Check out their emotional reunion in this video report by NBC News.
