A family emergency required Navy Operation Specialist Kendrick Killings to return home to the States from his deployment in Japan. With his mother having a double mastectomy and his wife having her gallbladder removed his wife told CBS 5 that SPC Killings ‘felt defenseless’. Making the most out of the somewhat dim situation for his daughter, 7-year-old Ava, Killings arrival was kept under wraps so he could surprise her and his 17-month-old son Kaden.
