## Caption

🇺🇸 Last night, I witnessed something truly moving — the return of more than 300 airmen from the Idaho Air National Guard 124th Fighter Wing, home from deployment in Southwest Asia.
As an Honorary Commander serving with the @124fighterwing for the next three years, I had the privilege of welcoming the airmen home. And witnessing their beautiful reunions.

Even at that hour, the families were there — waiting, watching, ready to wrap their arms around their loved ones.
It was a beautiful reminder of just how much service and sacrifice happens quietly, beyond what most of us ever see.
To the airmen of the 124th Fighter Wing: welcome home.
And to the families who hold it all together while they’re away: thank you. 🇺🇸
