Since 2003 the members of The Maine Troop Greeters have met more than 4,000 flights and more than 900,000 military men and women. What a remarkable record, and what a meaningful expression of kindness and gratitude they provide. And how appropriate: older veterans greeting and caring for younger veterans.

Which leads me to ask our veterans here: what are your memories of returning home at war's end? How were you greeted? Were there public events like parades or other ceremonies, or was it simply the private welcome-home greetings of family and friends? What were your feelings and emotions?
