Things will be buzzing around the Cameron University campus this weekend, as Homecoming weekend is upon us and there will be a long list of events in store.
Approximately 480 soldiers from Ft. Sill's 4th Battalion, 3rd Air Defense Artillery (ADA) unit returned home to hero's welcome Tuesday night, after a year long deployment in the middle east.
We all love military homecoming videos! Tissue alert! Leann Rimes released the video of her duet with pop singer Gavin Degraw 'Celebrate Me Home'. It's a holiday song but is filled with heartwarming clips of soldiers returning to their families. ENJOY!
I asked David who he was cheering for in the big game tomorrow, Denver or Seattle? He replied "Budweiser!" I laughed and agreed with him. We watch the Super Bowl for the ads. I guess that makes them worth $4 million dollars per 30 seconds.
On Monday, 13 Marines were on their way home, returning from Afghanistan. And before their American Airlines flight from Chicago to San Diego took off, the airline realized it had six open seats in first class.
The other day we posted a homecoming video in which a soldier surprises his two young children, who were throwing out the first pitch at an Arizona Diamondbacks game, by being the mystery catcher. We said it was the best homecoming video we’ve seen in some time.

We’ve all seen the heartwarming videos of soldiers stationed overseas surprising their children stateside with early returns home.
And that’s how this video of Capt. Cherissa Jackson, who had been deployed in Afghanistan, begins, with mom surprising her daughters Anita and Ashley at a Gaitherburg, Maryland Kentucky Fried Chicken. But then it gets even more touching.
Christmas may have come and gone but there is still magic to marvel at from this joyous holiday, like the magic that granted the wish of a little girl who only wanted her soldier father back for the holidays.
A soldier dad from Kentucky gave his two sons a birthday surprise last week that they’ll likely never forget.
Capt. Nate Burgess, who had just returned home after serving in Afghanistan for the past year, decided to surprise his two sons on their birthday.
So, he wrapped himself up as a life-sized G.I. Joe birthday present and gave himself as a gift.
