My husband’s Guard unit was
returning from Iraq. It had been a long deployment for many, and back
home, there were few there to receive folks. The main building was empty
except for 2 or 3 people. I had a bunch of red, white and blue
decorations from a Fourth of July party and decided to recruit folks to
decorate the reception area for our Welcome Home Festivities. Being a
small unit, I decorated the walls and even posted an American Flag doorway for
folks to bust through as they came into the building, kind of like NFL where
the football players run onto the field. Just a little touch of
decoration was at least something that I could do for folks who served our
country in a combat zone. Later my husband told me that the commander was
grateful for the decorations as it was a morale booster for many. It’s
nice to know that little efforts can go a long way.

That was so nice of you to do! I bet it was an incredible morale booster for them to feel appreciated :)
