we had a very long day today. but it was good. the deploying troops really appreciated us. we were told on a number of occasions how much it meant to them that we were there. it was very hard to see all those families in so much pain from the separation from their spouse, father, mother, etc.
it's been nice to watch the guys come back home at the airport where i work. it's so beautiful to see the wife and kids all dressed up and the tears of joy when the finally see them...
