Welcome Home Troops!! Thank You For Your Service

I had my Christmas gift delivered to me a bit earlt last week when my son stepped off the plane, took a short bus trip, then walked into the hangar in Burlington on the Air Base where I, along with 400 other people, waited anxiously for our soldiers to arrive home. It is a gift that can't be beaten, nor rivaled by another... the return of a soldier to the loving arms of his mother.

Vermont has more than done her duty Gentlemen. Be at ease now and take your rest; you've earned it and then some. May the holiday season be a brilliant one for you as you enjoy that time with friends and families who've been praying for this momentous occasion.

God Bless and Keep You and yours
