Florida first-grader Aden Meredith thought he was about six days away from seeing his father, John Meredith, a Navy aircraft mechanic.
Little did he know that it was only a matter of moments, as he was in for a big surprise while attending Lakeside Elementary School in Orange Park on Monday.
Aden's teacher, Danielle Knotts, helped organize the surprise.
