US Army Sgt Surprises Kids In Fitchburg After 10-Month Deployment

FITCHBURG (CBS) – There was an emotional reunion in Fitchburg Monday for a United States Army sergeant and his family.

"You just want to cry," Sgt. Torres said. "You haven't held your kid for that long."

Sgt. Luis Torres had spent the past 10 months deployed to Kuwait and other undisclosed locations. But he finally got the chance to surprise his daughter Skyler at the McKay Arts Academy library during what the school says was a "heart-stopping" visit, full of joyful tears.

Sgt. Torres also surprised his two boys Eliezer and Alexander.

Torres will be home for 26 days.

"Thank you for your service Sgt. Torres and enjoy your family while you are home," Fitchburg Public Schools said.
