Kevin Becar has been working with the Jaguars on the surprise since April. He was in Iraq for a year-long deployment with the Army National Guard."Through e-mails, he got me in touch with a public affairs officer in Iraq, and I told them what was going on, and they said, 'Yeah, we can do that,'" Kevin Becar said.
The planning didn't end there. Kevin Becar arrived home a few days before the game, and he had to hide at a friend's house.
