Grateful for Greeters

This article I read came from the Portsmouth Herald.  I actually saw it on the cover when I was walking around the grocery store today and I figured I'd find out the story behind the picture.  As it turns out, the article was about the Pease Greeters who go to Pease Airforce Base and give soldiers leaving and returning their well wishes.  I found this article interesting because I overheard someone talking the other day about how they'd like to start/join a Pease Greeter club at UNH.  Judging from the happy quotes and smiling faces in the pictures, the soldiers certainly enjoy the extra support from the greeters and a club like that would be a great thing to start up.  Although I originally read this article for the cover photo I really liked the lead of this article too.  It started with more of a description of a soldier being greeted by the Pease Greeters then turned into what the Pease Greeters do and how they work.  I thought the lead was very effective because it drew you in with great descriptions then proceeded to tell you what the article was actually about.
