Welcome Home Marine.

13 months. 200 combat missions. 6 months with the grunts, in rice paddies and jungle, calling in air support.

Daughter now 6 months old. To see her for the first time will be a life's event.

Deplaning now at TIA. Looking out over the crowd. No familiar face.

No one is there.

I pick up my bag and enter the door to the terminal. The crowd thins.

Called her from LAX. Told her the flight number and the time I would arrive.

No one is there.

No one is here.

Crap.
