On Friday our community had a welcome home celebration for the 7 young men that were deployed more than a yr. ago to Kuwait. The gathering began with eskimo dancing by our home town group and visitors from Kotlik. Half way through the young men marched in to be recognized by the community. It was a time of joy. The night continued with fiddle dancing and a potluck followed the next day with more dancing.
I remember when they were leaving the whole town was at the airport saying their farewells teary eyed. It seemed like a year would be such a long time to wait for them to come home. It's amazing how time flies, now with thanksgiving and relief the troops are all home safely. CELEBRATE!
