4th grader Addie Rodriguez is a cheerleader whose father Abel Rodriguez is in the U.S. Air Force.

Because of Addie’s dad’s duties, he wasn’t able to be there for a special father-daughter event at her school.
When all the other girls were being lifted onto their father’s shoulders, Addie stood there with tears in her eyes, because her daddy couldn’t be there.
One senior student, Matthew Garcia, saw this and like a knight in shining armor, he ran down the stadium steps, hopped the fence, and knelt down on on knee to ask Addie “Are you OK?”. Next thing you know, Matthew lifted little Addie onto his shoulders.

*wipes tears*
