THIS is how you welcome home a Hero!

In early April of this year, 21 year old US marine Cpl. JB Kerns was severely injured by an IED while serving his third tour in Afghanistan. He lost both legs and his right arm, along with parts of some of his left fingers. On Sunday, 25 September, after five months of physical therapy, that brave young man finally came home! I'm proud has hell to say that I was part of that celebration, and that I had the honor of shaking his hand. Two local TV stations did stories for the local news:

WGHP Fox 8
WXII NBC 12

But if you really want to see what it looked like, just watch!


By the way, I cross under the bridge at 1:15 in the video - I'm wearing a black vest over a yellow shirt.
 
What a wonderful outpouring of love and support, and oh how different from how those of use who served in the late 60's were "welcomed home..."

Yea I was asked How many babies I killed, and spit on when I came home..
I am Very grateful Our vets now are welcomed home properly..
Thank God for those who have served our Nation..
 
Same goes for you too HH! In my view, any person that is willing to risk their safety to protect my life or my way of life deserves "Hero" status. This includes LEO and First Responders too!
