he's home!!!!!!!!

i have to say, the whole set up I saw today at the dallas/fw airport is first class for the soldiers coming back

they have a small area set aside strictly for them.......the fire departments give the airplane a salute as it comes into the terminal area by shooting water over the plane......there was a motorcycle club that came in to cheer on the troops coming off the plane, as well as a bunch of other people who just gave their own time to come show their appreciation

very emotional. if you ever get the chance to go to the airport and greet the troops coming back, i would highly suggest it.....

there's a number on that page (click one of the support links at the bottom) that provides information on how to find out when flights are coming in

glad he's home safe and sound, JK. i've got a family member coming home soon though he hasn't been told exactly when. he's started the out-processing classes though, so it must be fairly close.

hug that boy tight!

Thanks for sharing JK! Welcome home, JK2. Thanks for your service.
This is the "halfway" point, isn't it?


I'm glad to hear of the airport welcome. Last couple of years here they have brought units back in small groups and at deliberately uncertain times so as not to broadcast large troop movements I'm told. Ramp up some security and bring 'em home in style!
