During the next few weeks all the soldiers from Grafenwoehr that have bee in Iraq this past year will be coming home. They arrive home in shifts and started coming this past week. When we were at the gym this morning, I noticed they were getting ready for a welcome home ceremony and thought that it would be nice to attend. We have seven men from our ward who will be coming home. This was a small group of about 30 returning. This picture shows some of the family waiting for the soldiers to arrive. They have been gone for one year.
Marching in
A smart salute and then dismissed.
Families reunited. It was nice to be there. I hope we can come when some of the bigger groups come home.
