[QUOTE="Bastard TwoTwo, post: 859128, member: 71841"] Currently, I'm out- was injured too many times. The only unit I was assigned to that I can talk about was 2/27IN, part of 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 25th Light Infantry Division. I also did a lot of time at Ft. Bragg, back before they changed all the ODA numbers, lol. Now they're using 4-digit team numbers, and it's a giant goat-F*** trying to figure out who's-who. Anyway, gary, you're about half-right. When we got back to our duty station after deployments, they had big signs on the sides of the buses, so all the cars driving down the highway could see, and they all beeped and waved and shouted to us. Then when we got in to the base, there was the Welcome Home Ceremony where all the families and friends showed up. It was really emotional. Flying home to NY was another matter. Did a layover in San Fran on the way. Sat in a coffee shop on the concourse for 3 1/2 hours- the waiters kept walking right by me, they'd look the other way and pretend I didn't exist (I was in uniform). Finally got up and stood in line for McDonald's. The couple in front of me noticed I was behind them, got real fidgitty, and pulled their kid in tight as they pressed into the people in front of them. Like I was gonna just hall off and eat their kid or something. When I finally made it home is when I got my "hero's welcome." 'Nam vets turned out, there was my family, my church, my friends from high school. But I'll never forget San Francisco. [/QUOTE]
