The men and women of this area in Maine are simply the best. They great all the service men and women who are returning from overseas, they shake there hands, give them cellphone to call home/famlies, hot coffee, food and a simple hug and all they say is "welcomehome" it's such a great thing! I hope everyone goes on PBS.COM and watches there clip it's so touching.

I would like to send Mr. Knight a donation to help him out with his bills and financial burdens, in addition to sending Christmas gifts to the other amazing greeters.

Is there any way you can help me get in touch with them? I think of them everyday since seeing this incredible documentary and want them to know that they matter
just as much as our troops.

I gave a ride to a guy in uniform walking from the train the other day. He went through Bangor, and LOVED these people. He said he felt like a celebrity. There's a special place in Heaven for people like them.

The movie was wonderful. Does anyone know what happened to Bill I couldn't see the end. I just cried when Bill put on his uniform. I just wish I could hug each one of them and tell them how wonderful they are.
