Pictures of the Week: Feb. 9-15

Sgt. 1st class Charles Bowen of the Army National Guard 142nd Arkansas field artillery hugs his daughter, Kelsey, 11, at Sleepy Hollow Elementary School Feb. 13. Bowen surprised his daughters after he appeared out of a box on stage in front of the entire school, which had sent him letters and gifts.

After seeing the photograph of Sgt. 1st class Charles Bowen of the Army National Guard 142nd Arkansas field artillery hugging his daughter on the stage at her elementary school and after reading the caption, I had a lump in my throat. The photographer, Stephen Spillman, shooting for the Amarillo Globe-News, beautifully captured the emotion of the moment.

Take a look at all of this week's incredible images in our Pictures of the Week photo gallery, which capture a wide range of emotions, from sorrow to humor. Some will pull at your heart strings and others may tickle your funny bone.
