Allen and his wife Jennifer planned the surprise, making it a very special way for the Army man to return home after a seven-month deployment in Baghdad.
Benjamin "Hunter" Allen, 8, and his 6-year-old brother, Nathaniel "Cooper" Allen, were chosen to be "knighted" in a pre-event ceremony. Little did they know what was about to happen.
