Although I didn't see David I imagined him as the soldier with the dog. I have pictures of him holding our dogs in that same manner. It seemed to have made him not so far away.
It warmed my heart to see all the soldiers wishing their loved ones a Happy Holiday and telling them they will be home soon. I didn't see Kris but every soldier was telling me what he would have said. I did pretty good until one of the women almost started crying while she was greeting her family. It's good to see all these young men and women we pray for every night. Praying for their safe return becomes even more precious. Thanks and Bless You for sharing.

Thanks for those. I didn't see Josh, but like marti, seeing the others made him not seem so far away.
Thanks for all you do!
