At halftime of Sunday’s NFC South matchup between the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Saints and corporate partner Carnival Cruise Lines reunited an Air Force serviceman and his family just in the nick of time for Christmas.
Enlisted airman Anthony Williams, born and raised in New Orleans and currently stationed at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, was on the verge of spending a second consecutive Christmas away from his family. However, through the efforts of the United States Air Force and Carnival Cruise Lines, Williams was whisked home for a special halftime surprise and was reunited with his mother, Karen, and his four daughters: twins India (9), Illiana (9) and Leah (8) and Imena (7).
