Major Timothy Jenkins hasn't seen his family in about 10 months after being deployed to Kuwait. When he learned he would returning from deployment earlier than planned, he knew it was the perfect opportunity to surprise his family.

As a supporter and volunteer at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational for five years, Jenkins of Avon was thrilled to use it as the location to surprise his wife and four kids during a military appreciation ceremony.

His wife, Rania, was told she would be accepting an award on her husband's behalf for his service as a volunteer. But as she was expecting another holiday weekend without her husband, Major Jenkins was hiding just outside of Firestone Country Club waiting to create a memorable homecoming. 

Pro golfer Billy Hurley III was there to announce the surprise during a military appreciation ceremony.
