LOCAL DENTIST
MICHAEL TESSIER
REVEALS WAYS TO DETECT
ORAL CANCER
Oral cancer is on the rise for the fifth year in a
row. In the US alone, 100 new individuals will be
diagnosed with oral cancer daily and one person
will die every hour of every day because of this disease.
It used to be that oral cancer was attributable primarily to age and smoking. Now, there is evidence to the effect that it is being transmitted in young
people thru sexual contact.
The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. Early detection, like
everything else in the body, is the key. We use ViziLite, which is a chemoluminescent test for early visual detection, and a “Brush Biopsy” (from Oral
CDx) when we see a suspicious discontinuity in intra-oral tissue.
Oral Cancer has been a hot topic of discussion in the US over the last few
months, especially since Michael Douglas has been so candid in the media
over the last few months appearing on both Oprah and The View. He, like
many oral cancer patients and survivors, is urging the public to get an annual
oral cancer exam. The Great Dr. Oz even did a segment on it
Lesions from the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which is a sexually transmitted disease can also be discovered by visual dental examinations. There
are more than 100 types of this virus, four of which are associated with oral
cancers. HPV is the number one cause of throat and mouth cancer after
tobacco use. In the United States, 1700 new cases of HPV-associated head
and neck cancers are diagnosed in women and nearly 5700 in men each
year.
The dental community is of paramount importance in the early detection of
oral cancer, because, along with checking teeth, we evaluate the health of
the soft tissues of the mouth in their entirety.
Please keep up with your regular dental visits. If you have any questions,
I can be reached at 949-459-7212. My office is at the corner of Oso and
Antonio Parkways at the south end of Rancho Santa Margarita.

SMALL TOWN TROOP GREETERS WELCOME HOME
1,247,843 TROOPS, 303 DOGS AND COUNTING
By Patricia Campion
There is a tradition in Bangor, Maine. It
is a ritual of honor observed by a precious
and dedicated group of men and women
who make the sporadic pilgrimage to
Bangor International Airport “no matter the
hour” to welcome our troops home from
Iraq and Afghanistan. They are the Maine
Troop Greeters.
I learned about the Maine Troop Greeters the day my husband and I flew into
Bangor for a business trip. As it is my own
custom to shake the hand of any military
member I see in public, be it at an airport
or crossing a grocery store parking lot, I
was awestruck by the number of troops I
saw clustered in the small terminal when
we arrived.
“It will take you an hour to shake all those
hands,” my husband teased, knowing full
well I was tempted to give it a try.
“You just missed it,” said our host, business partner and proud Maine native Mike
Dugay. He pointed to a small but brightly
lit room just to the right of the international
arrivals gate. Above the door is a lit sign:
“Maine Troop Greeters.” Inside was a cluster of camouflage-suited bodies mingled
with a handful of vets from wars past.
“They greet every plane,” Mike told
us. “They line up, applaud and shake
every hand.” He said it reminded him of
the famed Budweiser commercial where
spontaneous applause breaks out as a
plane-load of troops enters the terminal.
“It still makes me cry when I see it.”
I learned that Harold Clossey, executive
director of the Sunrise Economic Council,
who is advising our group in our business
matters, would be greeting his son Zane
through that very gate the next morning.
I had to return. I had to be a part of this.
My husband and I took a break from
our business matters and returned to the
airport Thursday at 8 a.m. As we rode the
escalator to the second floor, we were
joined by another man. “Is this the way
to where they greet the troops?” I asked.
“Oh yes,” he said with a cheerfulness
rare to find at that hour in the morning.
“I’m one of the Greeters. Just follow me!”
Larry Bridgham is a glorious man with an
irresistibly welcoming spirit. As a WWII Air
Force vet who served his country for four
years as part of the Air Train Command, today Larry spends his days greeting troops
home from the new wars. On this day, Larry
would be greeting two plane-loads totaling
over 500 troops returning from Iraq. Larry
has been welcoming each troop home
with a personal handshake and a heartfelt
thank-you for a year more than he served
in the military himself.
“I believe we should give our troops an
honorable welcome home,” Larry said,
recalling the abhorrent treatment of those
who returned from the war in Vietnam.
“They put it on the line for us and we owe
them that.”
Larry has an infectious patriotism; without provocation, he became my personal
tour guide, escorting me through the Troop
Greeters room and explaining everything
on display.
Larry hustled me over to the “library,” a
few shelves of books and ring-binders that
tell the history of the Greeters and what
they have done over the years. Larry’s
favorite part of the collection is the binder
of thank-you letters, sent to them from
military leaders and members of Congress
expressing gratitude for their efforts.
“If we ever get to close this place,” Larry
said wistfully, “if they ever don’t need us
to do this anymore, this is the one thing
I would want to take with me when they
close the door for the last time.”
I met Bill Dean, who served in Vietnam
(1954-1957). Today he is determined that
our troops are welcomed home with gratitude and honor.
“It just wasn’t right,” Bill recalled of the
disgraceful way he and his fellow troops
were greeted upon their return. But he
acknowledged that the social perception
of our men and women in the military has
changed. “It took 9-11 to wake this country
up.”
Jodie Rand was there to greet her son,
Zachary, an Army captain returning from
his second tour in Iraq. With her was her
daughter, Brielle, and her sister, Jacki
Murray.
“I just want to hug him and kiss him,”
Jodie said anxiously, her face utterly beaming with joyous anticipation.
“Most of the troops don’t hav
Seated alone in the first chair to the left
of the arrival gate was an anxious-looking
man. In the chair next to him was a green
gift bag decorated with bald eagles and
American flag stickers. A pair of small flags
were sticking out of the tissue wrapped
contents. He kept looking at it, fussing
with it as if adjusting the clothes on his
child. Then he’d sit back, still scrutinizing
its appearance while clasping his capped,
Styrofoam cup of coffee in his hands like
a prayer.
“Are you here to meet someone special?” I asked. His answer caught in his
throat and his tears came immediately.
“My daughter,” he managed.
Bob Smagula served in the Army, sergeant first class. He retired in 1985.
“The reception we got,” he recalled
sadly, and for a moment his voice trailed
off to bad memories. But he shook them
away. Lessons learned are more important
than lessons lost.
“What they do here is fantastic,” Bob
chose to say instead. “It’s such a turnaround this country has made.”
His daughter, Lotta - a master sergeant
in the Army - had no idea he was there.
He hadn’t seen her for a year. Now, in a
matter of minutes, she would be walking
down the entry tunnel.
He looked back at the gift bag, showing
me the contents as if they were Lotta’s
baby photos. The thing of which he was
most proud was a margarita glass full of
lime-green margarita-flavored Jelly-Bellies.
They are her favorite.
“I couldn’t find any in New Hampshire,”
Bob laughed. “But I found them here in
Maine!”
Due to mechanical difficulties the flight
was delayed twice, held over in Ireland for
two days. It was now scheduled to arrive at
8:38 a.m. Bob had driven four hours from
Manchester, N.H., to be there.
It wasn’t until then that I learned Bangor
is only a layover stop. From there the
troops would be flown to Ft. Hood, Texas,
for debriefing. Bob would only get to see
his daughter for one hour.
“I don’t care if I only got to see her for 10
minutes,” Bob said proudly. “I’d be here.”
“They’re here,” someone said. “They’re
on the ground!”
Then, as they have done for 15 years,
the group began lining up at the international arrivals gate. My husband and
I joined them, and we waited. My heart
pounded. I was already crying.
“It’s like waiting for him to be born all over
again,” Harold exclaimed. He was about to
burst with excitement. Jena was literally
vibrating with eagerness.
As the first soldier was sighted, the applause began.
“Welcome home,” one greeter shouted,
shaking the hand of the first soldier and
then the next and the 341 who came after.
And it was just as Mike had said -- it was
just like the commercial, all the way down
to the looks on the faces of the soldiers, the
surprise, the humble smiles, the wonder
that all of this fuss was about them. But this
was real -- and I was there, bearing witness
to one of the most profound moments I
have ever known.
“Thank you!” I said reflexively, reaching
my hand to the first troop who neared me.
“Welcome home.”
“Thank you,” said a local man.
A mother and her young daughter were
across from me reaching for other hands,
thanking them one and all.
“Welcome home.”
I have never grasped the hands of so
many heroes. To be thanked by them was
awkward.
Tears were flowing freely from the eyes
of the greeters as each soldier walked the
line. One huge soldier came down the
chute. He looked like a tank with legs. He
saw the little girl who came with her mom
to greet the troops; as he approached, he
smiled and ripped his unit patch from the
shoulder of his uniform. He stopped in front
of the child and bent down low, smiling as
he handed her the patch. She hugged him,
smiling, grinning. She held the patch as if it
were an autograph from her most favorite
Disney Channel star.
Bob Smagula was to the child’s left.
He was holding his camera in front of his
face and making his way into the flow of
soldiers, sending the current slightly off
course for a moment. He had spotted his
daughter, and he made his way toward her.
She didn’t recognize him at first. She even
tried to go around him until he lowered his
camera to reveal his face.
It took her a moment. The look on her
face was priceless, their embrace inspirational.
The terminal now swarmed with troops.
Some sat exhausted in chairs. Others chatted with the Greeters. Most had one of the
donated cell phones clasped to their ears.
Before we left, Larry - my tour guide found me. He wanted to say goodbye and
thank me for coming to help them welcome
our troops home.
“I have something for you,” he said,
handing me a small, clear plastic envelope.
Inside was a minted, enameled coin. On
one side, on a back-drop of the stars and
stripes, is a pair of hands locked in an
eternal handshake surrounded by the
emblems of each branch of the military. On
the other side is the state seal encircled by
the words “Maine Troop Greeters - Bangor
Int’l Airport.”
There is a tradition in Bangor, Maine. It
is a ritual of honor observed by a precious
and dedicated group of men and women
on the second floor of the Bangor International Airport.
To observe their custom will move you;
to participate will change you forever.

RED BALL II RAISES $275,000 FOR
AIDS SERVICES FOUNDATION
A red carpet, classic movie music and camera flashes greeted arriving
guests at the Red Ball II – Hollywood Royalty, the signature fund raising event
for AIDS Services Foundation Orange County (ASF). The Red Ball raised
$275,000 and was held on the grounds of the Laguna Festival of Arts with
around 400 attendees.
Among the evening’s highlights was a moving tribute to Elizabeth Taylor
including commentary from Project Runway finalist Mondo Guerra who honored the late actress for her fashion sense and commitment to fighting HIV/
AIDS. Guerra, who appeared on season eight of the popular Lifetime cable
television program, announced on the show that he is HIV positive and had
been living with the disease for 10 years.
“ASF was blessed by Elizabeth Taylor’s generosity and caring. In 1993 she
donated her magnificent Nolan Miller sapphire beaded gown that she had
worn to one of President Ronald Reagan’s Inaugural Balls,” says Ken Jillson,
a founding ASF board member who created the tribute to the actress. “I’m
sure she would have enjoyed Red Ball and been pleased with the amount
of money we raised for a cause that was so important to her.”
Dinner was spectacular as ever, guests munched on hor d’oeuvres of
bruschetta, red & yellow bell peppers, fresh basil, eggplant, kalamata olives
served on a goat cheese homemade crouton; chicken Sate Skewer served
with a peanut sauce, assorted cheese and a fresh fruit platter along with
vegetable crudités served with homemade ranch dipping sauce. Dinner was
a scrumptious pear salad with fresh crisp romaine lettuce, candied walnuts,
and gorgonzola cheese, poached pears tossed in balsamic vinaigrette along
with a lovely filet mignon served with black pepper cognac sauce, fresh
asparagus, candied carrots and potato gratin. Everyone raved about the
dessert, a lemon snowball made up of lemon cake topped with a delicate
lemon mousse, with marshmallow frosting and coconut.
Broadway actors Jason Graae, Nicolette Robinson and Chryssie Whitehead
teamed up for an after-dinner Hollywood-themed song-and-dance spoof entitled “Coup de Graae”. Graae created the show especially for the Red Ball.
The silent and live auctions helped to bolster proceeds from the night. A
few of the live auction packages included a men’s Tiffany Mark watch donated
by Tiffany South Coast Plaza and a two night stay in an executive suite at
the St. Regis Hotel in Laguna Niguel which was picked up by Randy Harmat
and Eugenio Vasquez for $4,000. Brian K. Rosenstein was the lucky winner for the two hour presentation with the Montage Resort and Spa falconer
followed by lunch at the hotel for $2,500
“We are so grateful for all of those who attended the Red Ball and the many
businesses and individuals who donated auction items, in-kind services and
their time and talent to make this event a success,” said Jillson.
In addition to Jillson, Red Ball II host committee members from ASF included Maria I. Marquez, MFT, board president and event chair; Al Roberts,
founding board president; Shelly Virkstis, board vice president; and Philip
Yaeger, executive director/CEO.
ASF was launched in 1985 as a result of a very successful backyard fund
raising event in Laguna Beach called the “Big Splash”. That was an annual
event until last year when ASF started the Red Ball as a part of its 25th anniversary observances.
Annually, ASF helps more than 1,600 people and their families that are
either living with HIV or are impacted by HIV disease. Services include food,
transportation, housing, case management, emergency financial assistance,
children and family programs, community outreach, mental health counseling,
support groups, HIV testing and an extensive array of HIV prevention and
education programs. Visit www.ocasf.org for more information.

I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS A SENTIMENTAL FAVORITE WITH US
TROOPS THROUGH SIX WARS
By Timothy B. Benford
Bing Crosby recorded Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” for the movie
‘Holiday Inn’ in 1942, and it became
an immediate hit and instant classic.
But did you know?
Der Bingel followed that success a
year later with ‘I’ll Be Home for Christmas’ in 1943 and it instantly topped
the charts as one of America’s most
popular holiday songs. Jimmy Gannon wrote the lyrics and the music
was the work of Walter Kent. It was
Crosby’s fifth gold record, back when
a gold record was a really big deal.
“I’ll Be Home For Christmas” was
a perfect sentimental wartime song
with deep meaning to U.S. troops
overseas. Once the Allies landed
in Normandy in June of 1944 and
pushed their way through France and
much of Hitler’s Festung Europa, they
were knocking on Germany’s door by
early December, 1944. “I’ll Be Home
For Christmas” was on the lips of GI’s
and civilians back home alike. It was
the number one seasonal hit for the
second straight year. Everyone, well,
almost everyone, felt the war would
be over soon and that the troops truly
would be home for Christmas.

Home for Christmas. Maybe it
would be over by Christmas.
That feeling, or wish, was widely
held by U.S. troops not only along the
so-called ‘Ghost Front,’ but throughout Europe on December 16, 1944,
the 1,105th day since the surprise
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and
other military installations in Hawaii
brought the U.S. into the war.
The Ghost Front, as it was commonly called, was so named by U.S.
troops because nothing of significance was expected to happen there.
It was an area in the Ardennes Forest
near Belgium’s border with France.
Troops who had been rotated out of
combat for R&R were stationed there,
as were new, green troops. Reserves.
But Hitler had a plan, codenamed
“Watch on the Rhine,” for an all-out
German counteroffensive against the
Allies. It wouldn’t be further south
where U.S., British, and other Allied
troops were at full, combat strength,
it would be up and around their flank
and directly through the Ardennes
forging a German salient, also called
a ‘bulge.’
That effort would be remembered
in history as The Battle of the Bulge.

Book,’ after U.S. astronauts Frank
Borman and James Lovell were
returning to Earth in their Gemini 7
spacecraft in December 1965, after
setting the record for the longest U.S.
space flight ever up till that time, the
pair asked Mission Control in Houston
to pipe I’ll Be Home For Christmas up
to them.
Yet whenever I hear it during the
holiday season, I can’t help but recall
those members of the armed forces in
World War II who heard it for the first
time and believed the message I’ll Be
Home For Christmas was possible.

The objective was to
push to the sea and capture the port of Antwerp,
Belgium, thereby cutting
off Allied supply lines.
It would commence on
December 16th, and
nobody would be singing
“I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” and meaning it,
anymore that year.
By the time the German counteroffensive
was deemed over on
January 28, 1945. The
battle had claimed
some 77,000+ Allied
and 130,000+ German casualties.
The war in Europe would end in just
over three months.
The song has remained a sentimental seasonal favorite ever since.
Sadly, it tugged on American heartstrings again during the Korean War,
Vietnam, the first Gulf War in 1990,
and the current conflicts in Iraq and
Afghanistan. It has a special meaning
to our GI’s in harm’s way and their
loved ones back home.

HOW TO THROW AN ELEGANT AND EASY DINNER PARTY
Hosting a dinner party is one of
life’s greatest pleasures, but choosing
the menu can be both exciting and
intimidating. A dinner party is about
sharing good food and enjoying one
another’s company. So why not create something easy, convenient and
unique for your next party and indulge
your friends in a dinner they won’t
soon forget?
Party Prep Tips
Go for the wow factor. Look to a
delicious and flavorful protein for
your main dish, such as lobsters
from Maine, which can be delivered
directly to your door and are easy to
prepare.
Keep things simple and organized.
Allow your guests to pitch in and help
create a communal dinner party. Ask
your guests to bring a side dish or
their favorite dessert.
Stock up. Visit your local wine shop
to purchase a few different bottles
that pair well with lobster, such as
a flavorful Sauvignon Blanc, a crisp
Chardonnay or a bubbly bottle of
Prosecco or Champagne.
Order Your Lobster Online
To begin planning your ultimate
dinner party, order fresh live lobsters
from www.GetMaineLobster.com
and choose which day the delivery
should arrive. There are several adPage 12
ditional choices
on the website
to accompany
the main course,
including clam
chowder, mussels and classic
New England
whoopee pies
for dessert to get
the full Maine experience.

SAN JUAN HILLS HS OFFERS SADDLEBACK
COLLEGE COURSES TO STUDENTS
High school students at San Juan Hills High
School will get an early jump on college through a
pilot project approved on Monday night by the Capistrano Unified School District Board of Trustees.
Saddleback College will offer college courses
on the high school campus in the spring semester
while developing student outreach programs.
“We want to provide multiple pathways for our
students’ lives after high school graduation, including careers, colleges, universities, and trade
schools,” Superintendent Joseph M. Farley, Ed.D.,
said. “Our partnership with Saddleback College will
continue developing innovative ways to prepare our
students to be successful after graduation.”
Officials from the District and the college said the
project enhances student preparation and success
in college. The outreach program will also help high
school students understand the college application
process, financial aid, career and technical education, and transfer programs.
“This is where the future of education is going in
our state and in our nation,” Saddleback College
President Tod A. Burnett, Ed.D., said. “This project
is just a beginning. My vision is that all students
take this kind of course during their high school
careers.”
While high school students are able to take
classes at Saddleback College, this program will
offer courses during the traditional school day and
remove transportation as a barrier to their access
to secondary education.
Classes taken will become part of the student’s
record and count as elective credits to meet District
graduation requirements. The courses are volun-
tary and students will be charged a fee for taking
the classes.
The agreement remains in effect through the
end of the spring semester and will be revisited for
possible expansion to other schools at that time.

HOLIDAY DINNER TO BENEFIT AMERICA’S MILITARY
Luxe Restaurant in Dana Point to Donate All Proceeds to Fisher House Foundation
Luxe Restaurant and Martini Bar in Dana Point is proud to invite the community to join dignitaries and
local celebrities at a fundraiser for The Fisher House Foundation. Guests will enjoy a Holiday Dinner
and entertainment by renowned saxophonist Charles Hayes. All of the proceeds from this event will
go towards The Fisher House Foundation.
When:
Time:
Location:
Saturday, December 17, 2011
Accepting reservations between 5:00 P.M. & 10:00 P.M.
Luxe Restaurant and Martini Bar, 24582 Del Prado, Dana Point, CA 92629
The Fisher House Foundation is a unique non-profit, private-public partnership that recognizes the
special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service. Their goal
is to meet a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by the Department of Defense and
Veteran’s Affairs.
Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great
distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House Foundation donates “comfort homes,” built on
the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be
close to a loved one at the most stressful times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness,
disease, or injury. More information about the Fisher House Foundation can be found at:
www.fisherhouse.org.
Dinner is $100 per couple plus tax and gratuity. Reservations can be made by
calling: 949-276-4990 or by visiting www.luxedanapoint.com

LIFETIME’S ‘COMING HOME’: ONE OF THE MOST MOVING &
WORTHWHILE SHOWS ON TELEVISION
By Melanie Patrick
A few years ago my oldest nephew, an
Army SGT in Iraq , came home on leave
just long enough to get married. After
returning to Iraq it would be a year later,
their first wedding anniversary, before he
and his wife saw each other again. In an
airplane hangar in Germany my niecein-law waited anxiously with hundreds
of other Army wives and children, ready
to welcome their troops home. Later our
family got to watch the video footage online. My nephew’s normally strong, tough
Army exterior melted the instant he saw
his wife running to him. The overwhelming
relief and joy seen on his face as he held
his wife for the first time in a year was an
incredible thing to witness.
Soon after, it was time for the rest of our
family to welcome our soldier home. We
were quite a spectacle in the airport as well
with our colorful signs and “Proud Army
Family” T-shirts. Quite a few passersby
waited around to watch the homecoming. I fell apart watching the video of my
nephew coming home to his wife, and I
lost it again in the airport that day as I saw
my sister hug her son for the first time
since his wedding over a year before. And
when I see video of other troops returning
safely to their loved ones, I feel that same
emotion all over again.
prise their loved ones in elaborate ways.
With the network’s help, service men
and women cook up creative schemes
to surprise their loved ones in experiences they will never forget. The show’s
premier episode included the story of a
high school football star announcing his
college choice on National Signing Day.
J.J. Rutledge finished his senior year with
multiple scholarship offers from some of
the most elite universities in the country,
a bittersweet moment since the young
player’s biggest fan, his dad, had been
deployed to Afghanistan throughout that
process and would miss National Signing
Day...or so he thought.
As excited as he was, the pain of not
having his dad there on such an important
day was evident. Having no idea his father
was about to give him the surprise of his
life, J.J. said in a hopeful but sad voice,
“It’s hard, but hopefully I can talk to him
on the phone on signing day.” But as J.J.
announces his decision to attend the US
Naval Academy, an unmistakable voice
cuts through the crowd as his father enters
and proudly says, “That’s my boy!” The
utter shock, joy and emotion displayed
on J.J.’s face as he jumps to embrace
his dad was enough to evoke tears from
the entire room and viewers everywhere.
Staff SGT Jerry Rutledge said of his son’s
reaction, “The look on his face told me, ‘He
still needs you...you matter to him.’”
THE SURPRISE OF A LIFETIME
Other “Coming Home” surprises inLifetime’s newest show “Coming
Home” features troops returning to sur- clude a soldier who shocks her husband
Page 18
The Ladera Ranch News
in an early return from Afghanistan by
being disguised as the goalie he’s competing against in a contest at a Nashville
Predators hockey game. Another episode
features a dad hidden in a large treasure
chest for his pirate-loving little boy to find
at the end of a treasure hunt.
A LOOK INTO MILITARY LIFE DURING WARTIME
Beyond the deeply moving moments
of surprise, “Coming Home” shows a
window into what our military families
face everyday as they press on with a
loved one deployed, and what our troops
feel as they serve half a world away from
their families. Viewers hear firsthand the
joys, struggles and sacrifices of having a
spouse or parent deployed. The work at
hand for a soldier may be different from
the responsibilities of their loved ones
back home, but they would never be able
to do what they do without their faithful,
dedicated families on the home front.
During her husband’s combat deployment in Iraq , Army wife Melanie has
been holding down the fort with their
three young children. In an emotional
interview Melanie explains the very real
fear of never seeing her husband again,
“If I hear a knock at the door and I’m not
expecting anyone I fear so much that it’s
someone in uniform here to tell me he’s
not coming home.”
Executive producer Star Price described this point in a press conference,
“This show is a recognition of the incredible sacrifice men and women make, but
their families go through a lot of worry and
stress. They are worthy of an emotional
surprise. It is incredibly informative. We
have no idea what these families go
through and the sacrifices they make,
how they stay strong and support each
other. This is a big eye opener for viewers.”
“Coming Home” also features clips of
home video throughout each episode of
troops coming home to their families and
pulling off their own surprises. A few of
these videos have made the rounds in
the news, but most have not been seen
yet by the general public.
Military families say goodbye to their
troops knowing full well the chances that
they may never see them again. There’s
just something inexplicably moving about
watching these brave men and women
come home safely to their spouses,
children and other loved ones, who serve
our nation in an indispensable way and
are just as courageous as the troops
they love. Seeing just a slice of the sacrifices they make everyday for our country
makes these special surprise reunions
even more amazing to watch.
The remaining installments of “Coming Home” air on Sunday nights at 9 pm
central (after Army Wives) on the Lifetime
network. But to catch up on previous
episodes just visit mylifetime.com or even
