homecomings
we love homecomings
even more than we hated
to send you away.
This was a welcome display (in more that one sense) that I passed on the way home yesterday. It was in the front yard of a house in my neighborhood. I stopped to ask the man I saw in the driveway if I could take a couple photos of the sign. He said it was fine, telling me that if Spc. Kelly himself were home at the moment, he’d probably be up for posing for a shot or two himself. Since he wasn’t there, I had to settle for just the display.
While I’m not a big fan of our involvement in the Iraq conflict, I am always glad to hear of a veteran returning safe and sound. So many of them don’t. I’m just glad Spc. Michael Kelly did.
I’m glad as well - and glad that you posted the story to go with it.

I thought it was a nice scene, but I almost didn’t stop to take the picture. Now I’m glad I did.

Me too. I bet a lot of people are happy to see Spc. Kelly home safe.
