Worth the Wait!!!

The Marines of Company B came home on Saturday, amidst cheers, hugs and plenty of tears. Bobby met up with several of his friends from his first tour, along with Gunnery Sgt. Santos.



A red carpet was laid out, a high school band played the Marine Corp Hymm and the crowd's excitement was hard to contain.



Then the loud speaker announced that they were all on the buses and had left the airport with a police escort.

The greatest moment was hearing those sirens in the distance and then seeing those buses pull up with "Welcome Home MARINES" across the front of the bus. (And then, the batteries ran out on my camera).

Seeing my friend Mel reunite with her son brought on the tears and the memories. When he hugged me and said in my ear, "I can't believe you came" - I told him, "Honey, I wouldn't be anywhere else".
