More than 11,000 Marines and sailors marched through downtown Saturday as thousands of people welcomed home the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force based at Camp Pendleton.
Cheering parade watchers were stacked 12 deep in places for a mile along Coast Highway, many of them holding flags or signs that said "Thank You." Red, white and blue confetti filled the air.
After all the media attention yesterday about the anti-administration rallies that were held, I was surprised to stumble across this story.
Funny though it was not news worthy enough to make front page on the website.
I wish to extend my personal gratitude to our returning Troops for a job well done. :cool:
