National Guard Homecoming Celebration

This past Saturday, Brian & I got to go to a homecoming celebration for Indiana Air and Army National Guard troops that were deployed in 2008. It was held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy and there were approximately 3,100 airmen and soldiers there, representing the 4,500 that have been deployed from Indiana in 2008. It was really neat to see all those who serve (including my husband!) and their families. The governor spoke, and we got to hear a few songs from country singer Michael Peterson. They also paid tribute to 4 soldiers who passed on in 2008 with a live version of Tim McGraw's "If You're Reading This"...a very emotional song. Check out the pictures, it was a pretty neat ceremony.
