Tominator Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 My daughter got to welcome home a hero yesterday. I don't know John personally, only that I recognize him as a local kid that graduated from the school my kids go to. Anyway, the family asked if the high school band could play a couple songs as he rolled into his welcome home party and Mr. King agreed. Here's a couple pictures I snapped: John's welcome home sign.Mr. King directing, and my daughter Katie in the blue/white blouse.Yeah, I'm proud of her, lol.PFC Guthman coming down to thank the band. Have to admit, I don't know why, but I got a little choked up when I gave him a hug and thanked him for his service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Love to see stuff like that. Such a sharp contrast to how many of our men and women have come home in times past. Thank God too he's walking instead of being carried in a hearse. Your school did a good thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJR Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 On May 10th, I had the honor of putting together a small "Welcome Home" ceremony for SSgt. Taylor, USMC when he came back from a tour in Afghanistan. We had represtatives from the American Legion, VFW, Marine Corp League, and the Fleet Reserve at the airport. Also a local radio station was there. It was great to be the first one to shake his hand and say "Welcome Home"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
