(CNN) As an Atlanta high school school resource officer was being honored during a pep rally, her son appeared via video from South Korea, where he was stationed and was set to return home in one week. The pep rally was for the D.M. Therrell High School basketball team, the defending Georgia AA champions and currently ranked No. As the team and cheerleaders charged into the gym, Aquill emerged from behind them, dressed in his Army fatigues. Williamson, on duty in her police uniform, ran toward her son, arms held wide and embraced him as the gym exploded in cheers.
