“My brother-in-law, Major Brian Davis, Harrier pilot, VMA-223 (Cherry Point, NC) returned from a nine month deployment in Afghanistan to his son, Cooper running with his arms outstretched to greet his dad. Brian returned just in time for the birth of his second son, Greyson.”

Talk about being so happy you are walking on air…this says it all. Even his shadow looks like it is flying. And daddy looks just as excited. My son in law was at Cherry Point and deployed 3 times. I know how proud your family is, God Bless.
