Rules simply don\u2019t matter when it comes to love. Especially, when it involves being with your loved ones.<\/p>\n
At least that\u2019s what 2-year-old Karis Oglesby thinks.
\nShe didn\u2019t think twice about running out in the middle of an Army homecoming ceremony to greet her dad, regardless of protocol.Karis\u2019 dad and his fellow soldiers were all standing arm-to-arm in formation at the homecoming ceremony at Fort Carson, Colorado.<\/p>\n
Karis hadn\u2019t seen her dad in eight months.
\nAll of the men and women in uniform had been away from their families, exchanging their lives for a paycheck and rank in the army. Instead of embracing their family members, who also had to sacrifice in their absence, protocol required them to wait and stare at them in silence while a superior spoke over the loudspeaker.<\/p>\n
Karis didn\u2019t have time for any of that though.
\nShe spotted her father and was so overjoyed to see him that she ran out of the crowd, passed a superior officer, and into her dad\u2019s arms. \u201cCara, she made eye contact with me in the crowd and decided she wanted to say hello a little early so she ran up and gave me a big hug and I just returned the hug back to her,\u201d her dad First Lt. Daniel Oglesby said.<\/p>\n
Karis missed her dad a whole lot and couldn\u2019t wait to give him a big ole hug. \u201cShe was excited. She spotted me from a couple of rows back. She couldn\u2019t contain herself, and I wasn\u2019t going to tell her no. Happy to see her,\u201d dad told news reporters.<\/p>\n
Dad did have to think twice though.
\nHe said he had to decide whether or not it was \u201cgood practice to break formation.\u201d<\/p>\n
