Wonderful! I especially love how you've captured the emotion in the first one. God Bless each and every one of our soldiers and sailors.

Love how you captured the escence of the event in the first picture. The 3rd one is pretty cool too. Could you upload to Flickr and repost them here. Its a shame that you cant see much detail in the attached images.

Awesome captures!

Very emotional shots. I thank you too for being there to welcome them home. I bet the soldier in the first one would love a copy of this shot......I think his child would love it too.
