Sgt. Moree said he doesn't want to miss another moment with his son.

"I missed his first birthday," he said. "I missed his first day of school. I always had to do my job. I had training, deployments I had to fulfill. It just caused me to miss most of everything. But I'm here now."

Jayden shared the surprise with his younger brother and sister.
