    Enen though I wasn't able to be there for our troops arriving home, here are some pics from the local Columbus Dispatch paper. The guy in the first 2 pictures is a very good friend of mine. I went to high school with him. He has also been our American Legion Commander several times. Hope you enjoy them!

    I really enjoyed the photographs CK and admit to having a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye whilst looking at them. I'm so glad all those heroes (men and women) got such a wonderful welcome home -they deserved it and so much more.
