God bless all our brave, intrepid and ever selfless and proud military .. AND the hundreds of the most wonderful Americans, who went out of their way to make sure every single troop homecoming was filled with immense gratitude, honor, love and joy, including including Pres. George W. Bush, their greatest supporter and friend, at DFW... (sniff).

We met our son-in-law at DFW about a year ago when he came home from Iraq for a couple of weeks to attend the birth of our granddaughter.

They allowed family members to stand in front of the barriers in back of the black and white sign. There were more banners and more flags than in the picture. Attendees were mainly church groups, and school honor societies, and scouts. More than the number shown in the picture ... probably over 100 people. Lot more flags, and a heck of a lot of cheering. It made for an awesome tribute to our returning heroes.

I was in Atlanta airport one time when a planeload of soldiers came in. It wasn’t a big organized welcome like this, but it was so cool because the impromptu applause for them was nearly deafening - and you could hear it rise and fall as they walked down the hallway.
