Last night (well, extremely early this morning actually) I went to the airport with some of my family to welcome home my cousin who has been at Army basic training for the last 4 months. We were there waiting with posters and t-shirts for when he got off the plane. It was such a great experience, seeing him completely changed into a soldier was incredible. He has made so many great changes in his life because of the Army, and I’m so proud of him for it.
He is home for 15 days now before he goes overseas for a year, so we are going to try to do lots of family things before he goes.
One of the most incredible things last night was the number of complete strangers who came up to us to thank my cousin for his service. It was the middle of the night, and they still went out of their way to come over, shake his hand, and say something nice to him. It really was so nice.
