A second grader at
Kent Elementary School in Carmel received an emotional surprise and
belated Christmas gift.
Staff Sgt. Alfonso Cautillo returned home early from his
fifth deployment of serving his country.
He wasn’t expecting to be home until March.
"It feels
great. I was overseas last time, and I didn't get to
surprise her in a school. I wanted to, but this is a great
feeling, being here surprising her,” said Cautillo.
Cautillo expects to be home for a while before his next
deployment and will spend quality time with his family.
