Small town, America

[phil s]

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I thought this was a great tribute to our soldiers!

My hats off to all of the Armed services! I was in the Army myself from 1983-1987, got a nephew that just got back from Iraq a few weeks ago.

It's nice for the troops to have (and witness) all of our support!

I've seen it but it is something that sure can be watched again and again

sure not like it was in 68 when I came home. I am so proud to see them get the welcome they deserve

Thanks for posting that Phil. Our local, small town, National Guard company has been notified of their deployment to Iraq in January. I pray for everyone, a safe homecoming.

I can understand you there Blackhawk! I wasn't there, but I had a couple of brothers over there from 68-72 (between them). Luckily, we WERE from a small town that did give them somewhat of a welcome.

Nothing like it should have been, but at least none of the fool-hardy (I COULD think of stronger words...

)protesters were around! There were a few "feathers ruffled" in the early 70's from time to time amongst our family from protesters.
