I watch these videos all the time online. We (meaning the county I live in and the nephew of some people I know) lost a Marine in Afghanistan on June 9, 2011, 2 weeks after his 21st birthday. At the 7pm awards session last night at Spirit of Hope they came out after all the awards were ended with a "unique situation and something that doesn't happen often and they were sorry to interrupt" (my mind automatically goes to...maybe they got my daughter's placement wrong!...I know...such a cheer mom) but the announcer brings up a girl from a gym (can't remember which) and starts trying to set it up, but as he's talking a marine (her dad) just barrels up the aisle on stage behind her...he couldn't wait and grabs her and the water works were on in the whole place!
It was so awesome. He was back from Afghanistan. I don't think her team won yesterday (not in my daughter's division so I didn't pay much attention) but I think she got the BEST award of all
