Military veteran Jason Sullins surprises family at SunTrust Park
Jason Sullins is a 19+-year military veteran who's done multiple tours of duty in the Middle East. Before the Braves game Tuesday night at SunTrust Park, he surprised his parents, brother- and sister-in-law on the field in an emotional reunion.
The Sergeant First Class was able to arrange his return approximately three months earlier than expected, and came in behind his family as they watched batting practice and posed for pictures on the field.
Sullins is a native of Flowery Branch, and expects to continue his military career with a desk job near Orlando, Fla., where he can be closer to his family.
