This touched my heart (Dan H.)

having been a serviceman with no one waiting to greet him on the pier at the end of some long deployments it does my heart good to know THESE kids are receiving better.

    I was sitting in Midway Airport in Chicago yesterday,

    waiting to fly home after a long week on the road, when someone got on the public address system to say that a Marine was returning home from two tours in Iraq and that he would be landing at Gate B3 in 10 minutes. How about if lots of people showed up at the gate to welcome him home. Hundred did, the aplause was thunderous, and it was a beautiful moment.
    Retired and loving it.

    It is their service and the service of their "dead men" that makes it possible for all of us to live the lives that we do.

    When my son and one of his buddies finished high school, my son was fortunate enough to go to collage and will be a petroleum engineer next year. His buddy joined the reserves in order to help pay for collage and 4 years later is still in the middle east. It is pretty obvious which one of these photos is my son.

    Returning Vets

    I witnessed the same procession in Atlanta. Everyone stopped, backed up and let the vets pass while clapping. In this cloud of the campaign nasties going on around us it sure was reassuring that the silent majority still lives. These guys deserve our ultimate respect and honor for allowing us to live ours in freedom.

    Heartfelt thanks

    I got off a plane in Laguardia airport 12 April 1968. A man with grey hair, and a warm smile, saw me, walked over, put his hand on my shoulder, and said Thank you. I don't know who he was,and I never saw him again, but I will never forget him.

    It is refreshing

    It is always refershing when people show appreciation for our servicemen. Sadly many of today's people just don't ged it. My hat's off to that young Marine and all the men and women serving in all parts of the world.

    God Bless America and may the flag always wave with pride.
