Tens of Thousands Greet Returning Troops in Colorado Springs

Michelle Malkin has pics from Colorado Springs:

Thousands of people in Colorado Springs turned out this morning for the Red, White & Brave parade to welcome home the troops. The Colorado Springs Gazette put the crowd estimate at 45,000 downtown.

It was a privilege to be among the throngs and throngs shouting “THANK YOU!” as our men and women in uniform marched with returning units. God bless them all.

More at the Denver Post:

Crowds whistled and waved for each entry, but the cheers and applause rose to a crescendo each time a phalanx of soldiers or airmen marched by.

“It was awesome,” said Army Sgt. Kory Stachowski of Holland, Mich., after finishing the route. “A lot of people out there supporting us.” Stachowski is assigned to the 1st Brigade Combat Team at Fort Carson.

“It was a really good feeling,” said Air Force Staff Sgt. David Gant of Bricktown, N.J., assigned to Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. “I saw a couple protesters, but that’s their right.”

Thanks for keeping me uptodate on my birth state, the state I raised my sons in, but was quickly becoming californicated (with some help from New Yawkers!) I wouldn’t move back except in summer, as I do not miss winters there, but I still love the country in Colorado!
