140/365 Indiana welcomed home a deployment of troops today returning from Afghanistan. As is now customary, the Patriot Guard escorted them from the airport to their respective posts. The Patriot Guard also stands vigil at all KIA funerals as a barrier between grieving family members and protesters who show up to defile the fallen for his or her service and harass the families at one of the most difficult moments of their lives. I was honored when they asked me to participate in their flag guard today. It's always a good day when they come home.
