NY LaGuardia Airport "Heroes Welcome Home" from Iraq

From Bill Taylor, Gunnery Sergeant of Marines (Ret.) in Massachusetts...

Good stuff! For those who don't know.. that's a bad-ass weapon system hangin' out the side of the fuselage on that AC-130.


I don't ever remember this happening before, but "Way to GO NY"!

Our last AC-130 crew traveling home from Iraq was diverted to LaGuardia Airport for a mechanical problem. They were thankful that such a busy airport allowed them to land there. They were absolutely surprised and overwhelmed by the incredible "Heroes Welcome Home" that they received. The crew didn't expect any sort of fanfare, but you can see from the pictures that LaGuardia went all out. Thank you to those wonderful folks at LaGuardia who made our troops feel so special!
