Iraq - Heroes Welcomed Home

While American troops are welcomed home as heroes, legacy media turn a blind eye. You won't see this reported in the New York Times or Washington Post.

The soldiers' eyes widen as they walk off a plane and into Helen Ross' arms.

They grin.

The soldiers walk down an aisle and enter a sea of strangers.

Their mouths drop.

Dozens of people are cheering and clapping, hooting and hollering on a recent Saturday morning at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. They're waving American flags and holding handmade "Thank You" poster-board signs.

The soldiers, carrying backpacks and wearing khaki camouflage, walk past Linda McNeely, who stands near the end of the line of greeters. "We're proud of you," she tells a soldier.
