Touching military reunion scores big at South Carolina football game

(CBS News) First a quick warning that the audio on this one is all over the place, so you might want to turn it down a bit. With that out of the way, we've got a very special military reunion for you in the video above that has us hitting the football field again. Get some tissues ready...

The heart-warming and very touching caught-on-tape reunion was posted by the South Carolina Gamecocks who write about the game day moment:

The Faile family from Kershaw, South Carolina, was the Columbia Metropolitan Airport Military Family of the Game, set to be recognized on the field. Their first surprise was a message to them from their dad/husband, Sergeant First Class Scott Faile, playing on the video board, followed by an even bigger surprise. The Gamecocks would go on to beat Georgia, 35-7, just as Sgt. Faile predicted.

As you no doubt know already if you're a regular of The Feed, we love heartfelt military reunions, and this one just reinforces all of the reasons why.  A big triple-rainbow salute of excellence goes out to the South Carolina Gamecocks for making this moment happen from all of us here at The Feed!  And if you'd like to check out more videos from the South Carolina Gamecocks (which are a bit more focused on the sports side), you can visit their YouTube page by clicking here.
