Host Jan Jeffcoat is a southern girl.  She was born and raised in the south, with her alma mater Carolina Gamecocks in her blood. Sure, she’s proud that they are number three, but she says she was even prouder of this moment on the field on Saturday.

Watch the complete raw video below:

While the crowd cheered, a mom and two kids turned to the video board to see a recorded message of dad, currently stationed overseas, but then instead of being overseas, the dad is actually on the field for an emotional moment that drives the crowd wild.

Welcome home, hero. Thank you for your service.
