It is great to hear the the veterans and wives that greeted service members in and out of the country have finally been honored and recognized for what they do. They are doing a great service to all service members. I have been through BIA 3 times so far on my 2 deployments to Iraq and am humbled by what they do. They truly have a bond with the current SMs of today, well as least with me. Their love for their fellow veterans shows through in their lives and how they greets the SMs gooing through the airport. I will never forget the way they greet SMs, like royalty.
