Need help with name

[Figgyluv03]

We just had our first soldier from the war come home from my town last week, and we had a big hero's welcome. We picked him up at his house on the fire trucks and paraded him around town with a police escort to where we had a sign made saying welcome home and had the soldiers name attached to the bottom. He was greeted by family, friends, and people who just wanted to welcome home a soldier.

The fire department is planning another welcome home celebration this Friday and we are trying to think of a name to call this celebration. My friend really liked Heros welcoming Heros, but her boyfriend (who is a fireman and in charge of this operation doesn't like it). I really like it too, but growing up around the emergency services, these men and woman dont' like to be called heros. It what they do, and I know a lot of soldiers who think the same way. So, if you have any ideas, please let me know! My brain is fried!

Thanks!

Hey Figgyluv,

I'll bet you $5 that we live in the same town. If I'm correct, as you head into town from the local high school, you come up the hill and the post office is on the right, the 4-8 school is on your left, and the shopping center where they wanted to build the "evil condo project" is next to that post office.

If thats it, I was in that crowd last week with my DS10 proudly waving his American Flag to welcome home Sgt. S.

If we dont live in the same town, we have the exact same situation happening.

Judging by your sig., you're too young to know me, and too old to know my kids.

How about "Honoring America's Best" or 'Honoring America's Finest" or something along those lines.

What about something like "Hellos for Heroes" (I am not sure about the spelling for Hellos! ) or "Salute the Soldiers" or "Salutations to Soldiers" ???

Instead of Heroes Welcoming Heroes, how about A Hero's Welcome.

We were trying to stay way from the whole heros thing, since these men and woman don't consider themselves heros. We think we've come up with Operation Welcome Home.

And yes, kdsjjb, we do live in the same town. Ha ha, Evil Condo Project! I totally forgot about that and I live right across the street from where there. I'm four years younger than Sgt. S. He was a senior when I was a Freshman at SHS.
