I have been that mother waiting for her Marine to come back from Iraq and step off that plane for a long awaited hug! I have been the one holding a welcome home sign and smiling from ear to ear while crying all at the same time! The first time he came home all safe and sound. The second homecoming from Iraq was straight from a hospital in Germany where he's had brain surgery after being struck several times by shrapnal from an IED. But he DID make it home alive and is doing well although given a medical retirement because of his injuries. A big Thank You to all the people who welcome our military when they come home! It means a lot....both to them and to their families! I know....I've been there!<br/><br/>May God bless you.<br/><br/>Marilyn in MS Boy does this post bring back memories!

What a great story about something good coming out of the ATL :) I worked at that airport prior to 911 so it’s wonderful to hear that our men and women are being treated with the dignity and respect that a returning hero deserves.

It’s sort of like getting ‘news from home’.
Be blessed!

We lived in San Diego for eight years, and I never failed to bawl when I saw a ship come home. All those families, searching the ship for the face of their loved one. All those children crying, "Daddy!" at the top of their lungs. <br/><br/>I'm getting choked up just thinking about it! Oy! So true!
