Troop greeters are what volunteering is all about. Frikn awesome....God bless em!
Since the Gulf War in 1991, a group of veterans and townspeople from the area have greeted every troop flight that arrives or departs from Bangor International Airport. They're so loyal to their mission that the airport set aside a permanent room for them.
This documentary, "The Way We Get By" is a captivating and intimate look at three senior citizens in America as they struggle with the losses that come with growing old and the uplifting ways they rediscover their reasons for living.
By greeting nearly one million troops at a tiny airport in Maine, they find the strength to overcome their personal battles and demonstrate the meaning of community at a time when most Americans have lost faith in their country.
Remember when there was a country to care about before all these whoring politicians got involved?
