Out of Service

    I wonder what percentage of returning military men and women simply walk into their homes and re-unite with their families in a private setting.  With all the media publicity about the surprises at pop-up appearances of returning moms and dads, there must be some children  who expect the appearance of Santa, or the guest speaker at their school assembly may be their father, or the waitress  serving them burgers at their  favorite fast  food restaurant is none other than mom.  But, kids, be aware:   even if in disguise, that person may be someone else's parent.  You're not the only one, you know.
