Our home group from church decided to go and greet the troops that were arriving at DFW airport after serving overseas. They were arriving here for r and r, so we set out to make them feel welcome!
We all got together the night before for a pizza and sign making party....here are some of the results!
It was incredibly humid that morning, so my camera kept fogging up! Here is Jackson handing a soldier some gum and mints.....must have fresh breath when returning to USA!! The kids really got into it and the soldiers were so gracious.
Some of the soldiers just wanted to get out of there, but most took the time to take what the kids had and we were able to tell them thank you.
Here is most of the gang.....we had a few that had to leave...we were there for a long time and we got there at 9 in the morning. It was a fun experience for the all of our families and I'm so glad we got to honor the troops in our own little way!

That is really cool and I bet the kids will always remember that. Way to show your support!
