Jonathan Rozier was killed defending his country in Iraq. Jessica was of course heartbroken but knowing that her son would have to grow up without his father made things a little tougher. [rsnippet id="2"] Justin is now 15 years old and he longs just as strongly now as ever for a connection with his dad. So he told him mom that what he wanted most was to have a car that his dad once owned.

So when she heard this request she hoped for a miracle and headed to facebook.

Kyle didn't just track down a car like the one Jon had owned, he tracked down Jon's actual car.

Finally it was time and Kyle drove the car from Utah all the way to Texas to surprise Justin for his birthday.

And how a car brought this sacrificial family some closure is truly beautiful. God bless this family and the incredible people who made this possible!
