A soldier surprised his mom as she was sworn in as a police officer in Irving, Texas. Erika Benning hadn't seen her son, Army Sgt. Giovanni Pando, in more than two years because he was stationed overseas.
Erika Benning's heart was already racing as she prepared to be sworn in as the Irving Police Department's newest officer, but what came next pushed the 42-year-old mother's emotions over the edge.
Her son, 21-year-old Army Sgt. Giovanni Pando, whom she hadn't seen in over two years because he was stationed overseas, arrived at the ceremony on Friday to pin the badge on her uniform. "When my son came around the corner and I realized that this was real, my breathing just started to slow down, and everything just felt really tight," Benning told CNN."I just didn't want to pass out because I wanted to enjoy every moment of it.
