Marine Staff Sergeant Joshua Ricafrente had been separated from his family since May. His two sons Noah and Elijah were selected to take part in a half time competition at last weekends East Carolina game.
Before the game a message was played from their father wishing them the best of luck in the competition and that he wish he could be there with them.
So then you can imagine the surprise on their faces when he emerged to present them with their prizes.
