A Maryland elementary school student got quite the surprise when his class’s guest reader on Thursday turned out to be his father – who had spent the past eight months deployed with the Navy.
Matthew Foreman, a Navy corpsman who had been to the Middle East and Africa while he was deployed, surprised his 5-year-old son this week when he showed up at Rosemont Elementary School in Gaithersburg, Md., WTTG-TV reported.
During the class’s reading time, a guest speaker was announced and Foreman walked in.

“My heart is racing, just super, super excited,” Foreman said as he held his young son. “No better feeling.”
