Spent a few hours this afternoon with a friend at The Pease International Trade Port formerly Pease Air Force Base Newington, New Hampshire with members of the Pease Greeters. They gather to greet both Army and Air Force personal returning from Afghanistan on their way to Fort Hood Texas and thought I share a few photos I took of the event.This was one of over 300 greetings they performed at all hours of the day whenever flights landed to refuel before heading on. It's the first I've attended and can't explain the feeling of the experience. As I've said many times a picture is worht a thousand words and the photos will speak for themselves.
