In another thread we were talking about how the newS media manipulates the news and that is it all negative and few other things because that is what sells. This particular story made the evening news but of course after a 1/2 hour of negativity.
Occasionally you come across a news item that makes you feel good. The following video about the efforts of Bert Brady is such a story. I was swallowing what felt like a basketball while watching this.
Nearly every morning for the past year, Bert Brady has gone to the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to welcome home troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. Brady, a 69-year-old veteran, is a member of the Welcome Home a Hero program at the DFW airport. He and others are there to make sure every soldier who comes through Dallas gets a special homecoming.
Brady goes to make sure the soldiers feel appreciated for serving their country. He doesnt want them to be forgotten. "We are not going to forget them like a lot of Vietnam soldiers have been forgotten," Brady said. "We are not going to forget the soldiers of today."
You may not be a fan of the producer of this but if you look past that, you will see a very heartwarming story that you will want to be a part of.

Great story! It's a great feeling to honor those who keep us free.
Here's a page that pays tribute to the less fortunate soldiers who are "Going Home." -

Oh my that basketball is back in my throat. . . what a touching vid. The bald eagle with tears flowing was a nice touch. As soon as the tears stop I'm sure the anger and hate towards the cowardly Islamo-facist-**** will take over. I find it hard to hold Christian thoughts and feelings towards them.
