Olivia Vermane
As Erika Benning raised her hand to be sworn in as a police officer with the Irving Police department on Jan. 30, her son, Army Sgt. Giovanni Pando, appeared from behind a closed door. She broke down in tears as she embraced him, speechless.
Benning hasn’t seen her son in two years as he has been stationed in Germany, according to CNN.
After taking a few moments to process their emotions, Pando did the honor of pinning his mom’s badge to her uniform, officially welcoming her to the police force.
