Coach Sheila - I read your post in the car on the way to work this morning (my husband was driving). I thought it was very touching and decided to read it to my husband. When I got to the part "He's safe, healthy & happy", I lost it. My husband did too. That is all we hope for our children.
My daughter came off the ship on Friday too and we had a wonderful weekend with her. She is now back in Norfolk and moving into her very first apartment. This is one Navy Mom who is very happy that both of her sailors (I have a son in San Diego in the Navy) are "safe, healthy & happy".
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with all of us.

Sandman731 - thanks so much for the additional information, this is very helpful. I posted this same question on my FB page and several have suggested going south at Breezewood to avoid DC traffic. I think I might ride along this first time just to help watch for signs and I would like to see the base and his ship. ;-) Thanks to everyone!

We are about to leave Norfolk in a few hours. I didn't cry when we took our son back yesterday around 1700. I was smiling too much! He signed us in, and we got a tour of the ship and flight deck! WOW That kid moves around that ship like a ninja! I just couldn't stop smiling! Now I know what he means by the last year for him being "character development"! We met quite a few of his shipmates. We went for dinner at a Ruby Tuesday near the base. Then hugs and see you soon/laters. We watched him walk back! We both said at same time:" He's safe, healthy and happy"! My husband and I can't stop smiling either!

jbird, we just saw the ships come into the harbor and go to the piers they were docking in, it was impressive to see them come through with all the sailors manning the rails. The Truman docked in the last pier #14. There were so many people there, I didn't see the people you saw. I would have gone and talk to them if I had. I

Hi HJBird- Yes the whole Truman Strike Force is home. THe uss Mason had a beautiful homecoming on Friday morning. Hope you are enjoying having your sailors home.

catsmom-really? that must have been so incredible to witness. So you got to see those families greet their sailors? I bet after seeing the smaller ships the Truman must have looked massive.
When I was watching live stream there was a long haired blonde with either a yellow scarf or streamer or something like that hung around her neck. I wish I'd knew who she was! She was behind the male sailor doing the interviews. I also saw a woman in the stands with a yellow bow, or something similar, pinned on her jacket. Do either sound familiar? Thanks for the info on the ships.

DARmom, I don't know much about the route your son will be taking but try to avoid I64. Traffic is awful on 64.
jbird, I saw two other ships come in Friday morning, they went to different piers.

jbird 4 ships came in with the Truman. They ported first. It was awesome to see!

Welcome to the new members!!!
I have a question for anyone who attended the homecoming. Did the other ships in the strike group also return with the Truman? Or did they return to a different place? Just wondering.
