Country singer Craig Campbell emotionally reunited a military family during his concert on Saturday at the Rave in Milwaukee.
During his show, Campbell invited Tara Johnson and her two children Haille and Chase on stage and began singing "All-American Kid." The song, which he co-wrote and Garth Brooks later recorded, is an ode to the military.
Moments later, dad/husband Capt. Nathan Johnson appeared on stage for a heartwarming reunion, shown at the 1:30 mark. It was the first time they had seen each other in 362 days since Nathan has been stationed in Cuba’s Guantanamo Bay. Such separation isn't unusual for military families as we saw through another family, the Nilsons.
The special reunion was made possible after Tara reached out to the singer and his camp via Facebook asking for the opportunity. Campbell told the Journal Sentinel that he was “honored” to be a part of it.
Unlike their mom, Haille, 14, and Chase, 11, had no idea that their father was in town making the reunion even sweeter.
"Everything went perfect. Craig and his tour manager took good care of us and did an amazing job organizing everything," Mr. Johnson said. "And of course it wouldn't have happened without my wife. I don't know any woman as strong as her."
