We drove down to Camp Lejeune early this week for our son's homecoming. It was cold and raining but we couldn't have cared less. A tremendous shout went up from the families as the first Marine stepped off the bus and after a little searching through the crowd there he was, tired and hungry and smiling.
The article SandRat posted is pretty much what our Corporal told us in between eating and sleeping. We only had 24 hours with him before he had to report back but it was enough and we are so thankful.

To those of you who haven't seen it--the roads into the base on the route of the returning marines will be lined with personal "welcome home" banners, signs, hung sheets etc., put there by families and friends to let the marines know how much they are supported. These still bring tears to my eyes everytime I see them.

This is my sons old unit. I saw them off in Bangor when they ere headed over. What was a shock is that my son mentioned that one of them was an amputee.I never noticed.
