| Hello/Intro Return to index of stories... |
We are coming to you from the Portsmouth International Airport at Pease where war-weary men and women touch down to an unforgettable homecoming celebration. Hello, I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to NH Outlook. We'll meet the Pease Greeters and find out why they do it.in just a bit, but first. New Hampshire has a well-deserved reputation for going its own way on a range of issues. In the Live Free or Die state, motorcyclists don't have to wear helmets and adult motorists don't have to wear seatbelts. But many say that emphasis of freedom over safety has led to tragic and unnecessary deaths on our roads. Richard Ager tells us about the new effort to make everybody buckle up. |

Version One: Earlier this week, the House met in full session and House Bill 802. It now goes on to the Senate. Version Two: Earlier this week, the House met in full session and House Bill 802. Despite that setback, Addison Masse - and the other proponents of mandatory seatbelts - say they will keep trying. So, at least for now, New Hampshire keeps its status as the only state where adult drivers and passengers can legally choose not to belt up. |

Tape 1 ARRIVAL B-roll for first track / 1:01:55, 1:03:18 Pease sign and plane rolls in/ flagman 1:03:36,cu of plane 1:03:47/ TRK1: At the Pease Air Terminal planes touch down night and day. And with as little as an hours notice…a crowd of greeters will gather to meet them. ANNA Labrie 1:20:29 -:37 and the door opens and we're clapping they would be like what's going on.and then they see us and its something. TRK 2: Cheers …and tears soon follow. 1:07:29 / 1:07:50/ 1:08:03 hugs and kisses we started doing this may 5th, 2005, it started with 5 fellas from the marine corp league and mushroomed to what you see today. TRK 3: They call themselves the Pease Greeters …made up of Veterans, military families, average citizens …even former Patriots Ron Francis*. Organizers say the homecomings are addictive. : seeing the guys coming off the plane and coming down the walk way. its awesome TRK4: 86-year old Anna Labrie has been there from the beginning. I missed maybe a couple of them but I'm here all the time…1, 2 3 in the morning. : Still as enthusiastic at 3 Am? Anna: Oh you better believe it TRK5: Anna has met well over 10-thousand troops passing thru Pease. : what is it that motivates you? 1:20:53 I have a brother that was 2 yrs younger than me that went down on a sub during world war 2. : So this is very personal for you. Yes. 1:21:40-:48 Beth: So will you keep coming Oh yes, as long as I'm able and I can walk….I'm 86 but I'm still coming. Of the last 3 deployments I've been on this is probably the best homecoming we've ever had, its pretty touching and very heartwarming to say the least, we appreciate all you do. SURPRISED? Yea, they told us when we got to the ground that there would be a 2 star to greet us but we come out and there are several hundred women, children, men, pets, and the pets were the best part about it, it was very heartwarming. TRK: Word of the Pease homecomings has made its way to the troops overseas. We had a group the other day who said they wanted to come thru Pease because they heard all the way in Iraq about the greetings here. TRK: A hospitality room has been set up where soldiers can share war stories, a cup of coffee and a call home - and, the "Hero's walk" where soldiers are greeted features pictures of all those who've Passed thru Pease before. : I was not expecting this homecoming, the outpouring of care and love that's here just amazes me, I'm glad I came here, this is awesome TRK: Fred Harper has been in Iraq for nearly a year BethQ: WHAT WAS YOUR UNIT DOING IN IRAQ? We were the counter IED task force, counter improvised explosive device task force, road side bombs, our mission was to minimize or decrease those numbers, and taught soldiers how to react to those. Beth Q: Lose anyone in your unit. Yes we lost a few in our unit. BETHQ: Did you lose anyone over there. Negative, no so we were blessed to have everyone come home safe and sound. Anything you want people at home to know about. NO,we just thank everyone for their support and we ask that you continue to pray for the soldiers that are left over there, for the ones on the way back. TRK: Donna Austell's unit has been in Kuwait supporting US Troops in Iraq. Tape 1/ 1:28:04 BethQ: Hows it feel to be back home? It's a little surreal, its very exciting, and I wasn't really expecting this kind of reception and I can't imagine people with all the time and effort, especially with dogs and children. It was quite an experience , wasn't expecting it. Beth 1:28:55 So, what did you miss the most? 1:29:01-:17 sidewalks, it's crazy to say, but we're always walking in sand, breathing it in, kicking it around, and it ruins your equipment, its kind of nice to have some asphalt. TRK: For Inbound Troops …Pease marks their "first" stop on American Soil on their journey home. Tape 1/ 1:42:51 Beth Q: You looked a little emotional when you got off the plane? : It's nice to be back in the states, I was excited. TRK: Charlie Nichols is a regular at the homecomings: I make all of them. Doesn't matter whether its 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning.I will be here for the troops, something I really have to do. TRK: Twice-wounded & decorated in WW2.Nichols vividly remembers "his" homecoming. : When I came off that hospital trip in san Francisco in 1945 they had a greet me, and I never forgot that. Nats Tape 2: 30:45 old soldiers shake hands say goodbye back of soldiers Broll tape 1 TRK: For Chuck Cove, a combat marine wounded in Vietnam, the homecomings are about honoring our troops. to serve those people who serve us All I can say is we get a lot more than we give. Tape 1/ 1:54:34 Beth Q: You remember a time when vets didn't get that kind of warm welcome? Unfortunately I do.it's a thing of the past…and its not about us.its about these people who are doing what they do today so magnificently. Tape 1:/1:54:55 Chuck: It helps tremendously. I know the Vietnam vets didn't get the welcome home that they've should have gotten and to me that's something that we have to do TRK: Before heading out…every group is photographed. Broll tape 1 1:29:46 group shot photo session 1:32:49 mid shot / 1:33:28 TRK: a Prayer is offered. Chuck: Detail…Present Salute…salute back 1:37:40 warriers 1:37: 46 halt, applause, We get a lot of emails back saying thank you, I've seen some pretty hardened troops come back and break down on the way to the plane with emotion for the thank you they didn't think they were going to get. 31:45-:50 one time I was sitting there greeting when they were boarding the plane and there were tears rolling down his cheek and he said they never received this kind of greeting before. It gives me a great feeling of pride and wonderful feeling to be able to do this. And as long as I can get around I'll be doing it 1:51:55 NATS Tape 2/ ….32:04 thank you for being here kiss girl 32:06 Nats: tape 2 /11:39 thank you sir…hugs boy kid smiling:46 12:22 little boy gives cookies and hugs welcome hats… 12:27 girl gives hug Tape 1/ 1:56:54 Chuck Cove Whether you believe what is going on over there or not, the troops deserve support.
