MILLVILLE, New Jersey -- United States Air Force Sgt. Dominic Francesco walked into Millville Public Charter School on Thursday morning to the complete surprise of his young stepson, Jack.

Jack thought he was coming back this Sunday from a six-month deployment in Qatar.

Sgt. Francesco burst in with balloons and big hugs and plenty of cheers from Jack's classmates.

But best of all was his son's face.

"The reaction was priceless and, you know, that's all I can hope for," said Sgt. Francesco.

This wasn't the only surprise Sgt. Francesco had planned. He stopped in to see his 7-year-old son, Nicolas, at school too.
