Thanks, Jeff.  I try to say it as often as possible.  It's good to know there is way to sign it.

Thanks for posting that Jeff!

If you are ever in Dallas, go to DFW Airport and join all the others in Welcoming Home our Heros.  Almost everyday the troops flight lands at DFW Airport and there are anywhere from 150 to 250 troops coming through on their way home for two weeks of R&R.  I go every Sunday with my dad, a Korean War Vet.  I will most likely go tomorrow and Sunday.  The number to call to find out when they are landing and at what gate is

DFW R&R hotline: 972-574-0392

After the Welcome Home a bunch of us usually go for breakfast so come on out and join us.  You can't miss us, we will be the ones in the black vest or look for my dad with the big 11th Airborne patch.

In the picture from left to right is Pops looking away, Tuddy, My dad, Ras in the back, and then Retired Brigadire General James McPartlin.

When I go out running around town and I see a soldier by himself I always go up to the soldier shake their hand and say, "Thank You for your Service!"

Here are some photos I took from last Sunday:

Thanks, Jeff. Can't say it enough. 

Had a great conversation with several Marines in the airport last week and with the mother of two military "kids" - son was army and unfortunately lost an arm, and daughter is career Air Force.
