Okay so I've been itching to do a military homecoming for quite a while now, so this was a dream come true. As I drove to the Volkert's home, I couldn't help but think of the old Toby Keith song, American Soldier. Living in a military town, there are military homecomings of some sort quite often. But I still forget that their are troops fighting right now to keep our country safe. So being present while a team was returned to their families was so humbling.
As I sat with this family, and God Bless the U.S.A. came on the loud speaker, indicating the soldiers were about to enter; I became eager and nauseous. Haha. Nothing in the world tops a "military hello." And these kids' sweet mama let them have the first hugs. I'll just let you look and cry. It helps if you click the link to the song above and then scroll.
