A Military Member Pays a Surprise Visit to His Kids During the Indians Win Over the Twins

CLEVELAND - While the Indians were blasting the Twins 10-0 at Progressive Field, there was an incredible moment that happened off the field involving a member of the military and his family.

During the KeyBank ‘Deal or No Deal’ promotion which goes on during every game, a young fan got a special message on the scoreboard from his father, USCG Chief Petty Officer, Tim Lieb.

Lieb instructed his son what briefcase to pick, and ended his message with a ‘Go Tribe.’

At that point though is when the real surprise took place, as after a briefcase was opened with the message ‘I’m Home,’ Lieb suddenly appeared to surprise his two boys.

You can see the heartfelt moment below in a tweet that the Indians posted on their official account.

Make sure you have tissue handy.
