It’s not everyday I get to witness a military #homecoming. But when I do, I choke back the tears, knowing what it’s like to spend months without a loved one who’s been deployed overseas—months upon months of missed birthdays, missed milestones, missed moments.
And I also know what it’s like when you finally see them again, breathing a sigh of relief that they’re out of harm’s way and safe with you–in your arms.
These men & women sacrifice so much in serving our country and deserve to be recognized for their selfless service.
Please join me in welcoming home members of the 6th Airlift Squadron at McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey who spent the past three months deployed in Southeast Asia.
Today, they finally reunited with their wives, girlfriends, parents & children. We honor you, thank you & salute you🇺🇸 (09.03.19)
