I drove to Las Vegas today to bring Dave back home from Afghanistan. After getting off the airplane, Dave led his troops down the escalator and into the very excited and anxious arms of family members. Each soldier was welcomed with a sweet treat lei. I only saw army boots descend the escalator. Being short and in the back of the crowd was to my disadvantage. It took a few minutes for Dave and I to find each other. I was glad when I finally spotted my soldier boy!
It was a great experience to be in the crowd of family members greeting their soldiers back home. I wasn't sure that I would ever get to experience it, and it was worth it! The excitement was intense. All members of the 650th were accounted for. No injuries or casualties to report. Thank goodness!
