This is a pretty cool video. I think everyone will enjoy it, especially the ex-service men and women.

thanks, Vince! Its good to see happy moments like that. Gets me all choked up. A couple months ago, I was waiting for a flight out of DFW Airport Terminal D. That is where all the troops come back into the US. A flight was deparking and you could see them walking to immigration through the second story glass windows. The entire terminal began to clap and cheer and didn't stop until the last man and woman disappeared out of sight. President Bush will also comes up unannounced and great them.

Thats awesome! Choked me up.
I remember my grandfather telling me when he arrived home from WW2 his family didn't meet him or pick him up and he walked 15 km home only to be told that he had work to do on the farm, no greeting, no missed you etc. I can't understand why having read the letters sent back and forwards by my grandparents but maybe that was how it was back then.
