10-Day-Old Son Taps Out Soldier Dad At Army Graduation

A soldier couldn't believe his eyes when his 10-day-old son tapped him out at his military graduation after his wife secretly drove for 10 hours with their newborn to surprise him. Keith Wilson Jr., 34, a Private First Class with the U.S. Army, didn't expect his wife Kathy-Lee and their newborn baby Lennox to be at his big day, given how close to the occasion Lennox had been born. But Kathy, 35, from Snellville, Georgia, was determined to make the first meeting between the pair a special one, given they had been apart for the previous 10 weeks while he went through basic training. Keith was under the impression the couple's older son Langston and his family were the only ones attending his graduation, at Fort Leonard Wood, in Missouri, but secretly, Kathy decided to make the 10-hour drive to be there, too. While she was on the journey, Kathy spoke to Keith and made excuses, saying she was headed to the grocery store and getting gas. But on the day of the graduation itself, May 29, Kathy made her way towards her husband, holding Lennox as a family member set their camera rolling, ready to capture Keith's reaction. As soon as he was tapped by Kathy, Keith's jaw dropped in shock as he picked Langston up and set eyes on Lennox for the first time.
