Bill and I flew home to surprise Ryan upon his return from his last deployment to Afghanistan. We were so very glad to see him safely returned to Canadian soil. And we were not the only happy ones....
Ryan's fiance, Rea, was also there to greet and welcome him home. Although most of the military was on Christmas vacation, refreshments were served for the anxiously awaiting families and a five piece band entertained.
Kendra also flew in, to surprise her brother. Ryan tells us that several miles out, their plane was escorted to Edmonton International by F-18s, then their bus was escorted by three RCMP, who leap-frogged the highway to block off all exit ramps and on base, firefighters and their trucks blocked the intersections. Quite impressive!WELCOME HOME, RYAN!
