My mom and I have become involved in an organization that welcomes home troops who have been serving overseas. Most of them are just coming to Baltimore for a layover, but it's been fun and they say it cheers them up. Yesterday when we went we ended up having to sit afterwards and wait for awhile before my dad could come back and pick us up. One of the soldiers came over and chatted with us for awhile, he thanked us for being there and said it made hime cry. He said they watch the news and all it says is that Americans don't support the war, but then he came home to this and it made his day. I don't support the war, but I definitely support the troops who are willing to go over there, especially now that my brother is there. Kind of ironically, we were welcoming soldiers home as he was flying over there.
