A graduating Columbia University student was brought to tears when her father — a U.S. Army Captain currently stationed in Afghanistan — unexpectedly showed up to see her receive her diploma on Monday.
When Columbia engineering student Ruby Robinson spoke with her father two weeks ago, he told her that he would not be able to make it to see her graduate from college. However, with some help from his general, Keith Robinson was able to make the trip at the last minute, arriving in New York Sunday night following a 14-hour flight from Kuwait to Washington, DC.
“After I saw him, I couldn’t stop crying … It was an amazing rush of emotions,” Ruby Robinson told the New York Daily News, where we first saw this video.
