We live in a small town and we had 2 young men come back and we decorated the trees with yellow ribbons. Made a big sign that said welcome home and we had bumper stickers we put on the sign for which division they were in (they came home on seperate days) I got the fire truck to go out and meet them on the highway and escort them into town. When they came in we had music playing (God bless the USA) and we lined the street. When they came in they drove through the sign. My sister inlaw owns the bar and it is the only place here in town so we all gathered in the bar and were able to talk to the young men and enjoy some time with them before their families took them home. It was a wonderful experience and not a dry eye in the place on either return. I think it was a great thing for my children to be a part of because they got to see the importance of celebrating a safe return of two young men that defended our country.

I am glad your husband is coming home. You are probably dancing around the room with happiness. My son will also be home on leave soon. So I know that warm fuzzy feeling. I would think the best way to welcome him home would be with a smile and a huge hug...ok, perfume, balloons, ribbons, confetti, a crowd of friends and family with loud tooting horns, music and lots of food. Lots of signs and rose petals along his path to your door. Have fun with him. Wear a wig that is a completely different color than your normal hair color and see if he recognizes you. hehehe Well, there are a few ideas from me.
