A beautiful moment ensued before the Florida vs. Ole Miss game on Saturday night.

Florida helped reunite Chief Warrant Officer Kristian Denkins, who just completed his fifth tour of duty in Afghanistan, with his wife and four children. It's hard not to get chills watching the video.

To top it off, Florida fans witnessed one of the best performances the Gators have put on at The Swamp in years. What a night for the Denkins family.

Joe Boozell has been a college basketball writer for NCAA.com since 2015. His work has also appeared in Bleacher Report, FOXSports.com and NBA.com. Joe’s claim to fame since joining NCAA.com: he’s predicted the correct national championship game twice… and picked the wrong winner both times. Growing up, Joe squared off against both Anthony Davis and Frank Kaminsky in the Chicagoland basketball scene. You can imagine how that went.
