BOSTON -- Last fall, while on leave from her tour of duty in Iraq, a Pembroke soldier met a local military support group.

.....

It's the memories from another soldier's homecoming, Caruso's brother, that inspired Caruso to organize the event.

"He came home (from Vietnam) a major -- highly decorated. And when we were at Logan (Airport), an elderly lady spit on him. I don't want anyone to feel that again"

That's very nice and man it does make your heart break.

I know a person who joined the Army years ago because both her parents died when she was a teenager and now she is CSI detective in a major city as well as being a new Mom.

It also break my heart about the Vietnam vet being spit on. That happened to my uncle as well when he came home.
