Jason Aldean Helps Navy Officer Surprise His Kids After Coming Home From Deployment

A very special surprise, indeed. Earlier, Jason Aldean shared a video on his social media accounts, where he's helping surprise a military family with a surprise homecoming. Navy First Class Petty Officer Blake Darling and his wife, Brittney, along with Jason and his team, surprised their two children at one of Jason's concerts with the return of their father after a 10-month deployment. It appears as though they're at some sort of pre-show meet and greet type of thing, and the two kids are onstage with Jason as he asks them about their dad's military service: "I know your dad is in the military, right? We got the story and thought we'd give you a little surprise today. So if that's cool with you guys, can we do that? Alright cool. You guys ready?" Officer Petty walks onstage with his wife, and you can see his older son in shock, as his daughter runs up and gives her dad a big hug and they embrace for a while, clearly all excited to be back together again as mom watches on. I love these kinds of videos, and as someone with very close ties to the military (Army), it's always incredible to see a family back together again after so much time apart, not knowing if you'll all actually be together again one day. For the kids, I'm sure getting to meet and see one of their favorite artists was awesome, but to have him be part of their dad's homecoming surprise will certainly be a day they'll never forget. Definitely take a minute out of your day to watch, it's pretty dang cool:
