A HERO'S HOMECOMING



Well, where to begin with this sad story. This has been a week of tragedy for everyone here at home. Along with being in the one of the longest heat waves on record, they say it is even worse than the one back in the 30's during the dust bowl years, our town has brought home a local hero from Iraq to bury tomorrow.

He arrived home at Tri-State Aero yesterday at 1100 and there was a small private service at the airport for his family, however I think his family was not prepared for the turnout that showed. I do believe everyone in our town, all 300,000 plus residents. He was escorted by the City Police Department Motorcycle Squad in front, followed by the Sheriff's Department Motorcycle Squad, the Evansville Fire Department, then there was the Patriot Guard Riders followed by the Rolling Thunder riders. I can honestly say I don't believe there was a dry eye anywhere in the crowd lining any street in the city. The took the long way making it a true HERO's parade and welcome home for this young man that had just turned 21 a few days before his death.
So now I will spend my Saturday with his family helping them to get through this next step in their grieving process, but I must say they have been so strong through it all believing that their son died fighting for what he believed was a true and just cause. To bring peace and freedom to a country and to people that so desperately want it. So if through all this they can see that, why can't people here that have no interest in this war see that. There is nothing that twists me the wrong way more than to see some idiot out there protesting who doesn't even have a clue what is really going on. If we pull out now and bring our men and boys home it won't be 2 years and what happened on 9/11 will look like a car accident. If you don't believe me, just ask the guys that are over there fighting everyday.
Well enough of my grandstanding and politicking I have other things I need to do today. After all today is visitation from 1200-2100 and I promised to be there. So time to get ready and head to funeral home. Let us all remember each and every one of our HERO's as we say our prayers and please, please ask GOD to keep and watchful eye and a safe arm around them until they all come home.
