7. It's been done for a very long time...

This time we have cameras on our phones and social media. Most of the time it's not the news that does it.

My husband came home to none of this when the first gulf war ended. It was just me and the kids at the airport.

Our reunion was no less emotional than what you see here. A camera is what made it different.

My husband and I are both vets and to this day, we still have family and friends in the military. I'm damn proud of our association.

It's people like tRump and other repubs who have exploited it for their own benefit.
