Mission completed and a huge success.
Thank-you to everyone who made it out to the send off and the welcome home of these Heros.
The gratitude in the eyes of each and every one of them is more than worth the effort for us to be there.
There were many tears shed by all involved, as well as many, many smiles and handshakes.
Thank-you to the four volunteers who stood at the security check point, enduring the heat involved with hundreds of people packed into a tiny space.
Again, I am proud to be associated with each and every one of you.
Thank--you. |
