Coming Home
We left Fort Dix Saturday morning and arrived to a hero’s welcome. When we got off the highway, about 30 fire and rescue vehicles were waiting to escort us back to the armory. People were lined up here and there for about 15 miles. I can’t say enough about our welcome: it was tremendous. Not to take anything away from other communities, but I don’t think we could have received such a great welcome anywhere else but in a small town, like Tamaqua, where the people grow up instilled with a tradition of service and appreciation for those who serve.
