God Bless the Maine Football team...

My son came through Bangor last November, and the folks were out there to greet them...They do a great job...each and every one...

Maine football, you guys are a class act. I'm sure those guys and gals appreciated you being there to welcome them back. Much respect to you all!

Hear, Hear! My son also came back through Bangor in January of '06 and not only were the folks out to greet them, but they had cell phones at the ready so that the soldiers could call and let the folks at home know that they were back safely on U.S. soil. I hope those folks in Maine have some way of knowing how much things like that mean and are appreciated!

ALOT of military flights go through Bangor on their way overseas, maybe more than any other civilian airport:

I remember reading a similar story 4 years ago in the Richmond Times Dispatch about the Spiders trip to play Maine where they greeted troops returning from the Middle East. The link to the Timesdispatch article didn't work, only could find the archive portion that wasn't free:

Nice stories to hear about
