Story by Beth Ford Ross, KPBS
Camp Pendleton Marine Staff Sgt. Luis Del Valle wasn't able to attend his daughter's eighth-grade graduation several years back because he was deployed to Afghanistan. He vowed things would be different for her high school ceremony.
Del Valle had to get special permission to make this year's graduation, which took place at Chicago's Field Museum.
