It just gets better

So on Cinco de Mayo I had to present a a big Demob, 700+. I stood at the door with my colleague and welcomed each one home. Guess what: 300+ from Tennessee, 19 from Puerto Rico and the rest from South Carolina. Sometimes planets just line up right. When my turn came, I said I'm Sue, I'm with (job title) and I'm from Mt. Pleasant SC" I got such a huge Hooah, clapping and cheering! Woo!

I asked one of the Puerto Ricans, before my presentation, how to say "Welcome Home" in Spanish. He told me, I addressed our Puerto Rican soldiers and got another hooah. The guy who taught me came up afterward and hugged my neck.
