Via con Dios, my Friends

"Some great Americans left here today, warriors and statesmen. They've reached the end of their tour and it's time to head home, their debt to democracy and freedom marked paid in full.

Leaving here doesn't end like a western where you ride off into the sunset. It comes with an urgent call, "Birds are inbound". They've known for several days and tried several times to get on a flight out of here, every time the effort comes crashing to a stop with the flights being canceled or too full to take them. Not today though."
