Nice escort, Ive grown up in the military but thank your son for his time defending our country. Just to tell you, those bikers who were escorting the buses behind the police car are Patriot Guard. Veterans who escort home active and fallen soldiers as a way of respect. They are amazing people and don't get enough respect. I am thankful and proud to be own and drive a support vehicle for them during big escorts. I thank all the men and women who serve our country.

@truckboy59 Thank You :) I have much love and support for all the Patriot Guard's. They are trying to make sure every soldier gets the respect they deserve when they come home. Unlike what they got when they came home!!!

@mgilgan1 @mgilgan1 Thank you for your kind words and your support for our troops. It was a bad decision on my part for me to record this lol I was shaken like a leaf, I was full of excitement and just over whelmed with emotions. I sound like a crazy woman, but really I'm not haha just a happy Mom whose son and every one in his unit came home safe and unharmed. Unfortunately deployment #2 is very soon :(

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT JUDKAST. Not one local news station was there to cover this story. OUR Loved ones just came home from a WAR. I can't change the channel today without some coverage of Michael Jackson, but last week when my SON AND HIS UNIT CAME HOME NOBODY WAS THERE TO COVER THAT STORY. HOW FREAKIN SAD :( Thank You for your SUPPORT of our Military!!! GOD BLESS ALL OF MEN AND WOMEN STILL AT WAR. MAY GOD BRING THE ALL HOME SAFE.

This is the kind of news that is worthy of viewing. When soldiers return from war; where there is something that is important about a soldier and his story; not the amount of excessive time that is being sent on Michael Jackson; Sure Michael Jackson contributed a lot to music but has nothing to do with the guts, lives and turmoil that has been spent by our soldiers in a war that should never be.

@travis8600 Thank You Travis! Some people just don't give a damn about the men and women who serve our country. They don't stop to think how hard it must be on the family members left behind. All the worrying, all the daily fears, all the what if's that go through our minds. Thank you for caring about my son coming home safe. That's all the troops want, is for the people of this country to care and support them! Please keep him in your prayers, deployment #2 is coming :(

@3034893118 Let me explain to you why the video was so shaky. This was me (his Mother) holding the camera. I worried for a year if this day would come! I'm sorry you felt you didn't enjoy watching it because it was shaky. I can tell you as his mother I cry every time I watch this video. I guess use your imagination and maybe you'll understand the happiness you see and hear! MY SON CAME HOME ALIVE AND UNHARMED!!!! So did the rest of his fellow BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!

its like there is an Earthquake going on because of the camera all Shaky making hard to watch and enjoy the footage.

Thats because he came home alive if he was KIA they would have been trying to get inside a funeral to tape. I blame the media for making people disrespect our soldiers and country. Im glad he came home safe and tell Him I said thank you for his service and I respect his honor and courage. God bless
