Whenever a soldier has to leave his family, friends, and country to fulfill his duty, not a lot of people think about those who are left behind.
Usually the stories are all about the exploits and bravery of our amazing American soldiers, but we should never forget the sacrifice and bravery of those who stay at home.
The families of these soldiers have to go through every passing day worrying for their beloved soldiers who are stationed thousands and thousands of miles away in enemy territory.
While it's certainly not as dangerous as fighting the bad guys in foreign lands, that doesn't mean that their contribution doesn't matter.
The wives, husbands, mothers, father, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, and pets! All of these visions of home are the reason why our soldiers fight, to make sure that their loved ones back home are safe and sound!
So when a soldier hears the beautiful words "welcome home" strung together, there's a deeper meaning behind it all. It's not just the comfort of sitting in a warm bed, far from enemy bullets, it's something much more meaningful than that.
"Welcome home" is meant for the family just as much as the soldier. That family who has been waiting months with bated breath, startled at every single doorbell ring or phone call.
When they finally see their loved ones walking in their home, they'll know that everything is whole again.
This beautiful little dog was just a puppy when he left her 7 months ago for Iraq, but she never forgot her best friend in the world, and she wants him to know it!
