We said good bye to our active duty troops with a dinner and then put them on the plane the next morning back to the Tacoma area. I will say that it was a little hard to say goodbye to these 4 soldiers. We all kind of bonded with these soldiers. This was our first try at the reconnect with active duty folks, and I now have more confidence in our military after being around these individuals who are fighting for us in these times. They are smart, confident, and inspiring. I really hope our Corvallis American Legion Post in some way helped these young military folks to continue their commitment to our country.
