The children of a military member received quite the sweet surprise at the Utah Jazz game on Wednesday.

Major Sam Sanderson of the Army National Guard has been deployed to the Middle East for the past six months.

The children were blindfolded on the court and when they found what they were searching for the children were told to take off their blindfolds for an emotional reunion.

This is not the first time the Jazz has pulled off such a special moment.

As the announcer said in the Sanderson clip, "It never gets old."
