welcome home warrenton troops

so this past weekend the 3 units from warrenton came home from Kosavo.
i and my family had the pleasure of attending the welcome home ceremony.
yes we didn't know any of the men and women, but my dad knew one of the men because he was his company commander at one point. and also this was a home armory for my mom when she was in the military. so it was a good place to go to.
my mom and dad were a part of the patriot guard. yo lots of motorcycles and bikers riding in front of the buses. there was a parade of fire trucks, police, ambulances, motorcycles from the legion, and the actually Missouri patriot guard. it was amazing.
i got some awesome pictures of the parade. some of the soldiers coming off the buses. families reuniting after 18 months in kosavo. it was really sweet.
the ceremony was very long but they tried to keep it short. haha
i will find a way to get the pictures up soon. because they were amazing.
and honest to blog i cried during he ceremony.yes i didnt know the men and women but it was still something...
