Our flight from Columbia, SC, left at midnight 24 March. As our bus pulled up to the military terminal, we were greeted and applauded by over 50 military veterans and their wives. As we stood in ranks, they applauded us for quite a while. Then, they provided us with pizza, refreshments, books, prayer beads, stress dolls (see another blog post for explanation), candy and lots of conversation mostly telling us how proud they were of us. When we left to get on the plane, they stood in line; the males shook our hands and most of the females gave us a hug. Very unexpected and very cool.
