There he stood, less than thirty feet away from me! The cheering went on and on and on. Soldiers were hollering, cheering, and a lot of them were crying. There was not a dry eye at my table. When he stepped up to the cheering, I could clearly see tears running down his cheeks. It was the most surreal moment I've had in years. Not since my wedding and xxxxx being born.

Another 600 proud, surprised, joyful, tearful stories just like that one.
Hope we get to read/hear each and every one of those 600 in the coming days. They are wonderful.

The troops who had to dine with Ol' Crusty probably had tears in their eyes, too, of a different sort.
