Kids Deployment

Jeffrey had an opportunity to get a small taste of what a homecoming was like. Military kids were offered the chance to take part in a kids deployment. Your father or mother had to have been deployed at one time or another. They were dropped off early in the morning and taken on a bus to a certain location. There they learned a little about the Navy; subs and surface ships. They even got to have a taste of bootcamp. When the day came to a close they were then loaded on a bus to come back and be "welcomed back". Here there families were waiting with signs and balloons. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it.

Here is Jonah holding up the signs he made Jeffrey. Doesn't he look so
excited to have his brother come home WELCOME HOME JEFFREY! WE MISSED YOU

Here is some of the kids. Jeffrey is in there somewhere

I think this was such a great thing for the kids to be able to experience. Luckily for us all it was only for 8 hrs and not 6months.
