    Spc. Chris Anderson (right), an M240 gunner with 4th Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, talks with Denny Hamilton, an Army veteran and USO volunteer Jan. 11 at a surprise welcome home ceremony for Anderson at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Hamilton said it was “an honor” to see Anderson reunited with his men after losing his left leg to an IED on June 12. Hamilton, a Vietnam veteran and former combat aviation soldier, joined the celebration to thank Anderson for his service, and said it was a relief to see him welcomed home with such love and admiration.“We came home [from Vietnam] a very different way, and I am glad to see that America woke up and gave him the hero’s welcome he is most deserving of,” Hamilton said.
