IAVA Member 'coming home' 2016 surprise!

New England is always a magical place to spend the wintry holidays. So of course Christopher Lloyd, an Army veteran who served in Afghanistan, jumped at the opportunity and traded in Texas for Vermont to visit his parents. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart again, THANK YOU! I got the tickets at the last moment and my parents who live in Vermont didn't know I was coming. I had to make a plan with my sister to pick me up in Albany and we kept it a secret. You should have seen their expressions.” And it sounds like it was a success! If you want to keep some holiday spirit alive, check out this adorable, real-time video of Christopher and his parents!
