OK- I'm flabbergasted. Completely. I watched TWO local news channels just now, BOTH had footage of the "Operation Welcome Home" and NEITHER showed Rick. I assume that either he couldn't make it for whatever reason, or that they just didn't think he was important enough to talk about. I have one other channel that I'll be watching in a few minutes. I'll keep ya'll posted. Apparently the celebration was to have gone to 6:00, but it was so hot there that people were thinning out earlier than that.
