Cody's grammaw was very emotional, God Bless her! She's a sweetheart!


Mom walking the line and giving hugs.....

He walked the line and hugged all of us!


We had a nice safe trip to Gilroy down 101 on Christmas get away and I was thankful for that and arrive at Codys' home....



I think he's glad to be home!!!!!


Chattin' with my friend, I know him as Hardass... he got that from going out of Gilroy at 0630 east on 152 and a truck left garlic leaves on the road... moist dew.. I'm telling you, pure ice, dropped in a heartbeat!


Cody and Ride Capt'n Panak center, chatting....


OK, we got Cody to sit on Santa's lap!!!


I tried to get a better shot but he was getting up.


Well, I gave my camera to a young lady to take some pics... but she didn't know to hold the shutter button until the camera focused.. bad.. Rich took one and it came out great!!!



One more, shamelessly from Gary Ragsdale! Thanks Gary!

Welcome home and enjoy! God Bless and may your life be safe and Blessed! Thank you for your service!!!

PGR - Welcome Home Army PFC Jason A Evans

Pics are from top to bottom, click on a pic for a larger pic, text for a pic is under the pic.

PGR had a very busy day 12/19, almost 10 missions for troops coming home for Christmas. I tried to get the am in San Jose which the flight got canceled due to the snow storms on the east coast, and then on to Oakland.

We staged at our normal site and there were two groups, one for Castro Valley and following it was a group for American Canyon. Busy day and glad to see them come home!

We had about 6 or more bonus welcome homes as soldiers came home! Glad to welcome them!



Mom wanted a pic with the group at staging.


Some scoot pics...



My sweet Ruby in front and we had 12 folks to ride in for Jason's welcome.


Some Blues Star Moms.....


Here he is with mom and grand mom on the right, his left.


These troops were here for the second group coming in right behind our mission.


Staging at Oakland airport.


They lived at the end of a court and we parked all around.


Mint condition '53 Jeep with 50 cal. and a claymore in it! GBG The owner was ecstatic! He said it was a steal!


Jason and Tom Hoynes our RC for the day and he did an outstanding job! Thank you for what you do!


Here is mom and son....


And the penalty all have to pay for our welcome home rides, a group picture! Thank you Jason for your service! God Bless!
