After spending a year away defending our nation, Army Capt. Robert Abrams returned home to his family.

Abrams surprised his daughter Lexi. He walked into her 6th grade class at Creekland Elementary School in Canton, Ga.. as she was reading a poem about the military.

He then stopped by his son Preston's school to surprise the 7 year old as well.
