Believe it or not, with all of the fan fare and people at the hangar to welcome home the men and women of VMM-162 some marines went home alone. It was such a sobering sight as I held on to my husband and watched this young man walk away alone.
He is just one of a handful of marines that returned home with no one there to greet him. Regardless of the reason(s) why no one was there for him he still returned from deployment to no one.
While all members of the armed forces deserve your gratitude and thanks, men and women like this deserve it most. Not because they are any better at their job or any braver, but because they do it all with little or no support and thanks at home.
WELCOME HOME MARINE! JOB WELL DONE! THANK YOU!
