They are amazing

Have you heard of Operation Welcome Home Maryland? I am so thankful for these volunteers who welcome home our troops from overseas. Lane was blessed by them on his way through Maryland, just as he was blessed by the Maine Troup Greeters on his way out of the country months ago.

As it says on their website:
"Volunteers help decorate the lobby with patriotic signs and banners. They also package 'goodie bags' for the troops, many of whom are hungry, thirsty, and tired from their travels and will be waiting on a connecting flight. When the troops arrive through the doors of the International Arrival terminal, we shower them with praise, cheering them on, hugging them, offering them a 'goodie bag,' and thanking them for their service."

Thanks to those wonderful volunteers! And to the sweet little girl who made a 'Well Come Home' card that was handed to Lane at the airport!
