Recent weeks have seen an outbreak of returning military men and women surprising their families at halftime of NFL and NCAA games, but this clip takes it to a new level.

Master Sergeant Joseph Martel returned home from deployment a month ahead of schedule, and decided to reveal his return to his son at his high school football game by dressing as a player for the opposing team. When the refs call the team out for a mid-game sportsmanship conference, the magic starts.

Don't bother fighting the emotions everyone, this video is too powerful.
