In Maine

We landed in Bangor, Maine a few minutes ago. Wow, what a welcome! There were over 100 people were at the gate, cheering and clapping for us--a true hero's welcome. I can't say how great it made me feel. I don't think I have ever shook that many hands at once. Going off to war is a lot eaiser knowing that so many people are behind us.

So far, the trip is going well. We are flying on an ONI charter 757. I got a seat in the first class section, so it has been a ver comfortable ride so far. Next stop--Germany. I'm not sure if I will be able to post from there or not
