STRANGE WELCOME HOME FOR DIVERTED AC-130 RETURNING IRAQ VETS AT NEW YORK'S LAGUARDIA AIRPORT - 1
I don't remember this ever happening before —— but "Way to go NY!"
On January 11, 2012, 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 ——— and 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!
