On Monday, July 12 we welcomed all of C. Co. home!! I got a photographer to come out and take pictures because I knew I wouldn't be able to capture everything I wanted to. Chelsea did an amazing job!! Here are just a few of the pictures she took.
Waiting...
Elijah and his friend, Eddy
The soldiers were just on the other side of this tarp. They had someone with a video camera up on their side and a projector screen set up on our side so we could see them as they swiped their id cards. :) We watched for Blain.
We spotted him!
He waved to the camera, we waved to the projector. Makayla said, "He saw me!!" Obviously, he couldn't but I love how excited she got.
After what felt like forever and a day, they rolled the door up and they all marched in!
Chaplain prayed, band played the National Anthem, someone talked for about five minutes... I honestly couldn't tell you what was said. It was such a blur. They released the soldiers!
Elijah reached for Blain and said, "That's my Daddy!"
My turn
And then we took our Hero home. :)
