Kids Surprise Adopted Marine
It was a surprise heart warming welcome for a Marine just home from war.
Sergeant Andrew Valora arrived to a hero's welcome at an Arizona elementary school.
He was paying a surprise visit to a third grade class to thank them for writing him while he was deployed.
Little did he know, he was the one that was getting the surprise.
"I thought I was just going to come home and just see the
More..kids in the class. I didn't think it was going to be a huge production, but it's very nice to see how much they think I meant to them, I hope I can convey how much they mean to me."
Sergeant Valora said the students sent him a DVD of them singing 'God Bless the USA' while he was in Afghanistan.
He said when he played it for his men, there wasn't a dry eye in the tent. Less..

Arizona, one of the last patriotic strongholds in the country.

This was nice to see and glad he made it home safe.
Imagine a taliban coming back from war... probably just the opposite. The madrassa kiddies would think he is coward for not going down in a blaze of glory or suicide attack.

there should be more of this. less singing to asshats like obama, and more to the REAL heroes.

Love it when guys like 'snade' gnash their teeth and get all bent out of shape. Makes my day.
