Captain Augustus Turner, a military lawyer who has been serving in Iraq for the past six months returned home to surprise his family for the holidays. While he was deployed overseas Turner’s son, Maximus, became an adopted member of the South View High School marching band.
Turner’s wife, Michelle said “Probably two months into it he came out and started doing the routine with them. They kind of inherited him as one of their own.” The captain surprised Maximus and Michelle, dressed up as the South View Tiger during a marching band performance.
Turner’s family thought he was still deployed overseas and wouldn’t be home for Christmas. Augustus Turner said “For me, this was my first time deploying. As scary as it is for us to go into an unknown environment, it’s even harder for family.
Through his deployment, Turner’s wife sent video of Maximus performing with the band. It was a piece of home that touched the captain’s heart.
Turner said “I’m going to probably go take my kid to see a peppa pig play, because we love muddy puddles.”
