Master Sergeant Greg Wilson arrived home today from Germany. with his family. Greg just competed a tour of duty in Iraq. Greg is a recipient of the Bronze Star.
They will be here for two weeks and then back to Germany. Greg has a year left to get his 20 and could go back to Iraq.
Greg’s wife is the daughter of some good friends of ours and we all met them at the Evansville airport.
A real hero’s welcome home.
On hand was the Patriot Guard…
“Rolling Thunder”…
The Patriot Guard welcoming line..
Friends and family await the arrival of the Wilsons….
The Wilson family arrives…
Greg with mom and dad Wilson….
The Wilson family….
Greg thanks the Patriot Guard….
All three Evansville TV stations were there.
Greg and his family rode in a stretch limo with a police and Patriot Guard escort.
Family and friends made up the “convoy” as we proceeded through parts of Evansville. People pulled over as we came by to honor this young soldier.
I didn’t get a picture of it, but two fire ladder tucks bridged across 4 lanes of highway with a giant American flag between the two ladders. IMPRESSIVE!!
BTW – his brother in law is a volunteer fireman and EMT in Warrick county.
The “convoy” made its way to the Knight Township fire station where the limo was traded for a fire truck. The rest of the route through Newburgh was by fire truck
Along the fire truck route..
The fire truck ride…
The fire truck ride…
My wife and myself will make it a point to welcome home every soldier that we can from now on.
That is the very least we can do…..
