Time Taken To Thank The Volunteers At DFW Airport
Reporting
Robbie Owens
Every day, soldiers passing through Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport are extended a taste of Texas hospitality -- they are, after all, our heroes.
Now, the program organized to welcome those soldiers got a well deserved 'tip of the hat' for their hard work.
Tuesday morning, at DFW Airport's Terminal D, returning troops will soon deplane and it's a busy, boisterous scene. One person points out, "These troops are coming in from Afghanistan and Iraq."
Seven days a week, for the past six years, volunteers with the 'Welcome Home A Hero Program' have always been standing by. "Welcome home... 'preciate your service," said Vietnam veteran and volunteer Mark Hannah told the servicemen and women.
The volunteers offer smiles, handshakes, slaps on the back and sincere appreciation. "Welcome home. Welcome home sergeant, 'preciate it. We didn't get a lot of welcome homes, so we try to take care of our others," said Hannah.
Vietnam veteran volunteers are honored with spots at the head of the welcome line.
