Talk about a disciplined group of men only steps away from loved ones and till staying in formation. Amazing shots. I really have to say, I love that one where he's kissing his gal.

The adrenaline that must surely have surged in those moments.....WOW!!! Sniz, got your message when we got back tonight and I was sooooo thrilled to receive the official word that David was safely back with his family. I also got your dad's email via GFC and you know my heart is with all of you. So many changes and challenges at once. I'm praising and praying all at the same time, friend.
So much more to say but waaaay too tired to say it after flying standby all day. Talk to you soon, sister friend.
Blessings,
~Toni~

Wow. What a homecoming. Can you imagine them standing behind that door....I bet they just wanted to rip it open and run across the floor to find their families.

Rebecca said...

Aw! This made me teary eyed. I'm counting down until my husband comes home from Iraq. This is our first deployment and I can't wait to be in the hanger with him. So glad your brother made it home safe & I hope he's loving every minute with his wife & boys. Tell your sister in law I said good job for making it through, it's rough.
