VIDEO: Edward Cornejo is a proud father.
His son, Camryn, graduated from high school this year and went straight into 13 weeks of recruit training for the United States Marine Corps- following in his father’s footsteps.
“Like most other seniors, they were not able to enjoy a traditional graduation ceremony,” Cornejo said.
Cornejo said he was counting on attending his son’s graduation from training.
“Well, we weren’t allowed to attend that either. All we could do is see him through a window of a bus,” Cornejo said.
So, when Edward found out Camryn would be home for the holidays, he got to work planning an unforgettable surprise.
“I wanted to make it as special as I could for him,” Edward said. Edward, a Battalion Chief for Rincon Valley Fire District, reached out to the Tucson Airport Authority Fire Department for a little help.
“What they are doing just blows me away,” Edward said.
