How to Greet Returning Troops

Troops in every country fight for their nation's way of life. In the United States, troops fight for democracy and freedom. When troops return home from a tour in a combat zone, they deserve to be welcomed back with respect and honor. There are a number of ways you can greet a soldier when he or she returns home. The easiest way is to greet the soldier's plane at the airport.

      Contact the military or your local airport for the appropriate flight information. Organizations like Welcome Home a Hero can also provide information if they have access to your local airport.

      Use signs and other decorations to show your appreciation to the soldiers for the sacrifice they have made. You may also bring small gifts such as gum, bottled water or small goody bags. The gift should fit in the soldier's pocket, since she may have a connecting flight to catch before reaching her destination.

      Show proper respect. Allow family members to get closest to the disembarkation point and keep any aisles clear so necessary personnel can get through.
