| USS Truman |
today the USS Truman battle group comes home after deployment. for the military world homecomings are the best days ever. bigger than the holidays, better than birthdays. these are the days that matter, the ones with countdowns and days off and decorations.
homecomings are true happiness.
it's a time when parents see children for the first time, where loved ones are reconnected, and where time stands still. a lot of firsts happen.
i've been to my fair share of homecomings and it's a lot of hurry up and waiting but they are still fun and a great opportunity for people watching.
my favorite part is that on the way in to port the people "man the rails" and they stand around the perimeter of the ship looking very dapper in full uniform.
so for all those people who spent the last months counting down til their loved one came home, happy holidays, your present came early. we are all so thankful they are home safely.
