They waited...

and cheered...
and finally...

he is home.
A beautiful day.

  4. Yes! baby Kate is in her daddy's arms for the very first time in that photo...so precious!
    Taking these pictures was such an incredible privilege and joy.

    Everyone (military or not) should go witness and experience a homecoming like this if you ever get a chance. Words can't describe it and photos don't fully do it justice (but I did my best:)

  5. Soooo moving. That was my brother you were photographing and as I went to the other 125 that you took and I saw that Osprey formation land....I could taste the anticipation and longing! Seeing those guys walking toward their families in military restraint just about killed me! And yes, tears. Thanks for doing that for all of us! ...Robin

  9. Oh, Kelli, thank you for sharing the Kaiser family homecoming with us. As I let the slide show play through the 125 pictures, tears rolled down my cheeks as I anticipated the next photo and my mind just kept singing "America the Beautiful." Thank you, Campbell and Kaiser families, for your continued sacrifice.
