Our daughter has a flight home Sunday afternoon. She'll be flying to DC before heading west to Denver. Keeping fingers crossed that all goes well.

And prayers for safe travels for ALL who are traveling home for the holidays.

My son left S.C. around 4:30 p.m. He had to drop a sailor at the airport on his way out. It is raining a lot so I hope he is safe traveling to Florida. Prayers to all those sailors traveling home!!!

Does anyone know if they let the sailors out a little early today? My son and his wife are driving to Columbus, Ohio and it looks like rain, snow, sleet the whole way. Hope it won't be as bad as they are calling for and everyone gets to their destinations safely!

Yes, prayers for safe travels for all of our Sailors today - from the radar it looks like the rain is lifting here in NE Florida, but he'll still have to drive thru it from the base right through Georgia.

What a wonderful story Denise! When my son was approached after PIR in downtown Chicago, he was so surprised and asked me afterwards, how did they know I'm in the Navy? - I just looked at him like "are you kidding me?" and told him to get used to it, becasue most Americans are very proud of those who volunteer to serve and protect our country (and just be glad that strangers just shaking his hand and aren't trying to rub his belly like they do to pregnant women =)

That is so awesome Denise. I am always amazed at the attention that our heroes get in public when people know that they are in the Navy. It is well deserved, but still it surprises me...and him at times.

Hi All, just wanted to share in my sailor's homecoming last night. When I picked him up at our small airport I noticed about 30 American Legion members waiting at the terminal for someone to arrive. My sailor and I were standing at the luggage pickup when we heard a big cheer and looked to see the Legion members cheering for a young lady who had just walked up. Before I knew it two Legion men approached my son (he had a Navy hoodie on) shook his hand, gave me a hug then asked my son to join the group where they presented him with a challenge coin and a big cheer. What a great (and unexpected) homecoming for my sailor. Especially since the airline lost his bag.

We live in Asheville and are to get 12-16 inches of snow intermixed with rain/freezing rain. It started early this morning and is to continue until Sunday. The Asheville forecast will probably only impact those going to Western NC and possibly KY and TN since I-40 is closed near the NC-TN state line. I think the snow is to travel along I-85 and I-40 in NC. Hopefully, they will let our sailors out early this afternoon! I wish you all Christmas blessings and pray that your loved ones arrive home safe and sound.

JessicaS - thanks for the posting, I will be thinking about all our sailors coming home (and the ones who end up staying in SC) and hope they stay safe and dry and warm. (and pray not too many roads are closed and not to many flights are delayed) Please keep us posted (for those of us on the west coast who'll only hear of it after the fact =)
