Military dad surprises family at Arizona game

Santa and the University of Arizona made the upcoming Christmas extra special for one family Thursday night at McKale Center in Tucson.

During a timeout, the family of Air Force Master Sgt. Chris Campbell, who has been in Iraq, was called to the basketball court to watch a video he made for them. While they watched, Campbell was introduced and he stepped onto the court to the shock of his wife Tanya, and children Alex and Amelia. The touching reunion garnered a standing ovation from the Wildcat faithful.

Merry Christmas, Campbells.
