Every day soldiers pass through DFW Airport on their way home from their service in Iraq and Afghanistan. One flight of returning soldiers lands at DFW every day and the warm welcome provided by volunteer greeters begins the troops’ visit on a high note. We wanted to be a part of one of those welcome home parties. So we went. And it was AWESOME!!!
Getting dressed in our red, white and blue. I promise Ruby's body is burried under the stuffed animals and she is wear red, white and blue.
At the airport.
Getting all set and waiting for the troops.
We had to wait a while so we took lots of pictures and played alot of I-SPY.
I don't typically put my girls in big bows, but I was getting tired of telling people she was a girl so the bow made an appearance. Man, when you dress a girl in anything but pink or purple, everyone think she's a boy.
***Rant is over***
The gathering crowd.
The door where the 240 soldiers will come through.
The families get the closest spots.
The vets line up next.
Here they come!!!
Everybody cheers and yells welcome home, thank you and Merry Christmas.
Zoey got 8 high fives! She was THRILLED!!!
What an amazing and touching experience!
