Indeed. More from Fox Sports (check out the awesome video of the reunion at the link):
During Sunday night’s Bengals-Steelers game in Pittsburgh, the family of Marine Lance Cpl. Cory J. Lemasters believed they were going to receive some sort of honor on Lemasters’ behalf — only because the family thought Cory was in Afghanistan.
Instead, Lemasters came out of the tunnel, and hugs and tears ensued.

It’s getting very dusty in here. It was dusty in the stadium Sunday night as well.
That's cool… a Marine just walked out and surprised his wife at the #Bengals vs #Steelers game 😀 #Twitchy

Not gonna lie. Going to the Steelers game was absolutely awesome, but the coolest part was when the Marine surprised his family on the field

Amen.
Anti-climatic, but the Pittsburgh Steelers also won, by the way.
