The "New Normal" at School?

Many thanks to Lizzy Johnson for telling me about this story, which ran recently on the Today show. A little boy is surprised at school by his father, who has just returned from a long deployment. Imagine this being just one of hundreds of typical days during his father's absence. Watching the child's reaction to his father speaks volumes about the psychological strain this little boy, and other military children, feel below the surface every day their parents are gone. The mother's tears also give a sense of what toll the deployment took on her. Please take the time to watch--it's less than two minutes.
