It isn't the first time Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey has helped military families.  He has been known to treat them to games many times.  Because he feels his own dad played such an important role in his life and his choices, he payed forward the love.

Christian and his dad Ed created a virtual father's day surprise to one very special military family.
