So much fun at DIA yesterday.  If you are interested, the group will be at DIA all day today and Christmas Eve.  (Here’s my original post on the subject)  The best part about this project was that we had no idea if we would see one soldier or none coming out of arrivals.  We saw almost ten during the two hours we cheered and it was worth it to see their surprised and grateful smiles as they came off of the escalator.  One airport employee commented she had no idea that many soldiers came through the airport every day until she listened to how many times we cheered.

Merry Christmas!  I’m remembering my Dad in Baghdad without family this Christmas and counting down the days till his airport coming!
