Скачать или смотреть Iowa soldier surprises sons at school after overseas deployment

Two Iowa boys received quite the surprise this week: their mom returning from an overseas deployment with the Iowa National Guard.

The Guard said on Friday that Sgt. 1st Class Trista Stangel recently returned to Osage after being in Poland, surprising her sons at school.

"The raw emotion of love, service and sacrifice ... Priceless! We thank you for our freedom!" Osage Community Schools wrote on Facebook.

A teacher at an elementary school in the district posted: "We had a guest reader and an even better surprise! Welcome home Trista! And thank you for your service!"
