Air Force sergeant scores big when he shocks his kids at the ballpark
Julian, Skye, and Jason Diaz are from a military family. Their dad is United States Air Force Technical Sergeant, Yenier Diaz. The children are very close to their dad, and speaking to them, you quickly realize how proud he makes them and how tough they find it when he goes away. But deployment is part of his job, and for seven months, his duties took him far from home on deployment in the Middle East.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so they say. And that was clearly true for the Diaz family. Whenever possible, the children were in daily contact with their dad via Facetime. They also sent him gifts during the holidays and even put him on camera at the dinner table at Thanksgiving.
Sergeant Diaz says his kids are his main motivation in life, and that having such a strong bond helps him cope when he’s away. So, when it came time to come home from his latest deployment, he, his wife, and his children’s baseball coach, decided to do something special, engineering a surprise his kids will never forget.
Watch the video to see Sergeant Diaz hit a home run with a surprise return from deployment.
