Welcome Home Soldiers!
We have a few chaplains in our church and one of those chaplains and his wife have graciously invited us to join them at some of the homecoming ceremonies for the soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell returning home from their deployment to Iraq. I never tire of watching these reunions!
Having lived around military all my life I have as many friends in the military as I do civilians. I love our soldiers and their families. Some of the most loyal and caring people you will ever meet or have in your church are military connected. Grace Community Church is loaded with military families. I wouldn’t want it any other way! I firmly believe that our soldiers do what they do so that I can do what I do in freedom. I’m so thankful to live in a country where I can freely share my faith with others and I don’t take that freedom for granted. I know it comes with a huge cost. We admire greatly the sacrifices our soldiers and their families make on our behalf.
God bless America and our troops and their families. I honor, respect, and love each of you! Thank you for serving on my family’s behalf. It is so good to be welcoming you home again!

*sniff* Our time is coming SOON! We are getting excited!
We loved our time in Clarksville and learned so much living in a military town. Attending church and college (APSU) with such dedicated men and women was such a great experience. Your sacrifice, whether it be serving in the military or staying behind while your loved one leaves, is deeply appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. May God richly bless Ft. Campbell and its military families.
For anyone living in the Clarksville/Ft Campbell area, if you have never been to one of the welcome home ceremonies – I highly recommend it! I have lived in Clarksville all of my life and have many friends in the military, but this was the first year that I attended one of the ceremonies. It gave me a new perspective on the sacrifice that these soldiers AND their families make on MY behalf. THANK YOU and MAY GOD BLESS YOU for your willingness to serve our country!!!
