Nothing beats seeing a family reunited after being separated due to one of its members serving their country.
On Saturday during the Red-White spring game, Nebraska helped Staff Sergeant Hawke, who had been deployed in Afghanistan for the last 10 months, surprise his family during the coin toss.
Hawke dressed up in full uniform, before taking off his helmet to surprise his wife and children after head coach Mike Riley had greeted them moments before.
