Father of Air Force Lieutenant gets the ultimate surprise at his 70th birthday party.

The story: Rich Sr.'s surprise 70th birthday party took a playful turn when a large gorilla turned up at the front door with a balloon. Little did he know that inside that gorilla suit was his son, Rich. Jr. - a lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. A special pre-taped message from his son brought tears - but nothing compared to the tears that flowed when the pre-taped message ended, and his son revealed himself in-person. Not a dry eye in the house. God bless you, Rich - and God bless all of the selfless men and women who serve.
