kev and I Finally Made it to Vicenza for the 173rd, 2/503 Welcome Home Events
Although we arrived on Monday, 24 hours later than expected and in Milan instead of Venice we are here. 1SG Scott Beeson and his incredible wife, Giselle, picked us up at the Milan airport. We enjoyed a three hour drive to Camp Ederle with them. WOW! Great people.
Monday night Scott and his wife hosted the 2/503 Chosen Wounded Warriors at a dinner at their home. kev and I along with SGT Pitts' mom were invited to join in the fun. I'll let the following photos speak for themselves about the great time we had until way after midnight.
On Tuesday morning (that's today) we attended the Change of Responsibility Ceremony for Chosen Company. I had the honor of sitting with some of the Wounded and with some family members. It was incredibly difficult to hear the names of those who gave their lives during the deployment.
Tonight we are going into Vicenza. Gonna get a little local flavor with a few of the guys.

PAR TAY! Glad you made it! Have a fabulous time! Please let all the Sky Soldiers know how proud we are of them! We will not forget their sacrifices or the ones who shall not be there to share in the festivities. Sky Angels remembered forever!
