A military dad surprised his cheerleader daughter upon his return from deployment by photobombing her group picture. Karlie Albert from Carencro, Louisiana, had not seen her dad First Lieutenant Kyle Albert since his deployment to Iraq in November 2020. On the day of the surprise, October 8th, Karlie went to a friend’s house to get ready for the game but what she didn’t know was that her whole family and cheer coach were preparing for the surprise. As soon as halftime began the cheer coach got all the cheerleaders including Karlie together for a group photo. Karlie was told to get to the front of the photo and kneel as this meant she couldn’t see what was happening behind her. The team’s announcer announced Karlie’s name along with all her teammates telling her to turn around. Kyle began to walk through the cheerleaders and said: “Someone is missing.” The moment she saw her dad she jumped up in shock and her dad ran towards her.
