Military dad surprises son with visit at St. Monica Catholic School

 

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- It was a sweet surprise for a young boy at St. Monica School in Milwaukee on Monday.

Ethan, 7, ran into the arms of his dad for the first time in over 20 months.

Lt.Jon-Andrew Anderson-Ingebrigtsen had been serving on a Chinook helicopter in Bahrain with the Navy since April of 2017.

He says he couldn't be happier to see his son.

"I feel amazing. We used to talk every morning on FaceTime. I'd call every morning at 4 a.m. in Bahrain and talk to him here before we go to bed... when I wasn't on a mission. He's here now, you can touch him... like he's right there," said Jon-Andrew Anderson-Ingebrigtsen.
