Four-year-old Aria Gustavson got a special surprise at her South Jordan preschool Monday when her father, U.S. Army Reserve Staff Sgt. Dan Gustavson, walked through the door.

Aria thought her father, who has been deployed for nine months in Iraq with the 312th Medical Logistics Company out of Seagoville, Texas, wouldn’t be home for another month.

Following the reunion, Gustavson taught the students at Vision Dance and Learning about where he had been and why.
