Unfortunately, not many Americans have born witness to the homecoming of the men and women who are doing the dangerous and dirty work for us overseas. These homecomings are something to experience if you can.
Recently, soldier Adam Trost, US Army E4 returned home from his second deployment to Iraq:
Adam has served two tours in Iraq, from October of 2006 to January of 2008 and again from December of 2008 to December of 2009. During his first tour, Adam sustained wounds when an IED exploded. He later returned to duty.
During his second tour, Adam was rendered unconscious when a bullet fired at point blank range was stopped by his body armor. In that situation, however, Adam was responsible for neutralizing an attacker prior to being hit himself.
