#1 He hits every note. Beautifully written. He expresses, perfectly, what every returning soldier should be able to experience - and that quiet resolve that has made them so successful and such role models of honor. Welcome Home, Greg.

#3 I have read so many great pieces written by the soldiers, both while they are in-country and after they have come home. This one was hard to read though. My nephew had the same Christmas wish after my brother died (medical issue, he wasn't in the military). I'm glad that Mr. Moore's son's wish came true.

#4 It's more heart-swelling than heartbreaking, I'd say. Well worth reading.

Welcome home, Mr. Moore, and thank you for your service.

#5 I live 10 minute's away from a A.F.B. and when the troops come home in the military bus into the base...many line the road, with flag's cheering them all on and a BIG WELCOME home from thsoe who wait hour's along the roadside. There are many more stories like this out there- this one was TOPS.
