WATERVLIET, N.Y. -- A special surprise for a little Watervliet girl. Her dad, Ken Miller, an Army specialist for the National Guard, dropped in on her second grade class at Watervliet Elementary School.

Miller is back from four months in Iraq, fixing Blackhawk helicopters. His daughter, Alexis, had an idea he'd be home soon, but had not exactly when. Her mom kept that top secret and dad couldn't be happier to be home with his family.

"If you have family, you think about them 24-7, especially with two little girls and my beautiful wife home taking care of them, I greatly

appreciate everything she's done. This here, it was phenomenal. I greatly appreciate everything they've done for me," said Miller.

The entire Miller family is together after being away from each other for so many months, but Alexis' dad goes back to Iraq in just 15 days.
