We had a bunch of folks greet us at a nearly empty airport in Maine at around midnight - we were dead tired, but every Marine wore a grin ear to ear.

This happens every day in Atlanta also. DFW & ATL are the main hubs for troops rotating from the theater.
USO operates in nearly all airports supporting troops. Take a moment to seek it out and say thanks in person.

I doubt such a warm greeting would be found in a blue state.

Contrast that reception with what hippies like Code Pink did to us during the VN war? Helluva contrast. Code Pink has lost their war.

Call in the witches and hobgoblins Code Stink. won’t do you any good.

I saw the same thing at Dulles on my way back from Germany.

Oh and Congress, these guys deserve a raise.

I am very glad to see that at some Airports the ordinary citizens still show their support for the soldiers. But you will not see that at LAX! My Son came on on leave and just before we saw him he told how a lot of people just either ignore him or made disgusting facial remarks when they thought he didn’t see it! Welcome to the People’s Socialist Republic of Kalifornia!

Don’t forget that BWI Baltimore Washington is also a major hub, every week there is a welcoming committee which meets our troopers coming back home..

SSGTDUKE54 You must excuse those ignorant fucks in the LA area, my ex-wife lives there. Please tell your son that we support him and we are fighting the insurgency here at home like they are overseas. And like them we will not quit until the job is done. Unlike them we don’t have to worry about getting our funding cut by Congress.

Thanks so much for posting my video! As I type this, I am sitting at the DFW USO and we are in the process of sending 200 or so guys and gals back to the OIF/OEF theatre. It’s such an honor to be part of the welcome and sendoff crew.
