During the final conversation I got to have with David he told me about a group of women at Bangor International Airport who meet the service members and take their pictures. They give each a small gift and wish them well on their tour and one last THANK YOU before heading over to the war. You can learn more about these women at www.freeportflagladies.com.
They are pictured above in the second photograph with David. For those of you who haven't met my husband...he doesn't meet a stranger and...has a "way" with the ladies!! In the first photograph he is on the very right about to have a conversation with me!
There are 17 pages of pictures of the Marines that flew over with David. It's interesting to see all of them on their cell phones hoping to get one last "I love you" in and to hear the voice of the ones they have to leave behind. As you will see, they look great. A little tired maybe-but great.
**To go directly to the pictures of the Marines with David: from the homepage select Meeting the Troops in Bangor then click on January. Scroll down to the last line (written in red) January 9, 2007 Marines. Once there you will see they are really for Jan 2008. There are 17 pages of photo's.
