Yesterday we went to welcome home our first large group of Soldiers. It was bittersweet since Kevin will pretty much be the last Soldier in his unit to come home. I go to support our Soldiers and my husband but it's so dang hard. I always tell myself I'm going to keep it together but then I fail miserably. I truly am happy to see these Soldiers reunite with their families but it makes me miss my own Soldier that much more. Only 5 more trash days and then I will have my moment! Here's a small glimpse for those who have never had the honor of attending a Welcome Home ceremony. 
Soldiers saying a prayer (notice the flowers they were given to hand to their wives)
This scene made me cry...the little boy wasn't sure if that was his daddy. 
I just love this pic...look at these young Warriors!17 seconds of pure pride...check it out!
