I totally agree and plan to make a huge fuss next month when my baby brother comes home from Balad. He is my hero. When I read stories like this one I can't help but think how I would feel if the article was about my brother. They all deserve more thanks than we can express.
I remember comming back from Thailand in 1967 and arriving at Travis AFB. We had to change to civilian clothes to go to SFO to fly to our homes.
God Bless our troops.
Thank your brother for his service...and prayers for him and your family.
Truly, thanks.
