I remember the greetings when we walked into the airport. Absolutely unexpected, and very heartwarming.

I've been in Bangor when a planeload of troops were arriving. WOW! What an emotional event that I will always remember!

I got greeted when I flew into Bangor Maine in 2004 and in Fort Worth 2010. It was amazing. I walked into the Fort Worth terminal and as we walked on the mezinine we could see people down below cheering us. Then when we got outside I was expecting to just get on a bus and head to my connection flight(I was on mid-tour leave) but when I saw all the ppl outside lined up to shake our hands I almost lost it. I was like "Don't be a pussy dude, people are watching." lol 11B20

I found it streaming on Netflix if anyone has not seen it yet. It is so wonderful to see that America still exists.

The last time I cried at a movie - and I mean really cried - was when I was 8 years old. The movie was Lassie Come Home. I cried several times throughout The Way We Get By. Again, I mean I really cried. What beautiful people. Their selflessness and observations about how to live a rich life are the perfect antidotes to today's selfishness. This movie should be required viewing!

These are the nicest people I've ever seen. Much respect.
