Troop greeters are being spotlighted in time for  Veterans Day by such media outlets as PBS.
A documentary featuring their work and dedication for our military will be shown this week.
Troop greeters are mainly retired seniors who are at the airports waiting for returning troops. They shake our heroes’ hands and provide support and love for those returning from the wars.

This is a very good work by seniors who are making a difference. They are filling in a need as these young men and women return to the U.S. and they are showing appreciation for a job well done.

 
Seeing this story on the Fox Channel reminded me of the story my uncle told about returning to the U.S. after having served in WWII.

He had landed on Utah beach early in the morning on D-Day and lived to tell the tale, but no one was there to greet him when his plane reached Maine in 1945. It was the first time those men had been on American soil in over four years.

All my uncle wanted was a glass of cold fresh milk. He had been craving it all that time.
I think the little things mean a lot and the troop greeters are certainly doing a lot by being there for our military.
