Welcome Home Banners For Us Troops Returning From Iraq

BY CHUCK FAGER AND ANON
SECONDHAND, but as good condition as new which was not perfect, but less expensive. During the years 2004-2009, my work often took me to Camp Lejeune. During these visits I noticed many homemade banners hanging on a fence along the public highway passing the main gate. Many of these banners, made to welcome returning Marines back from combat duty, were so striking and touching that I began taking pictures of some of them. The banners were also very ephemeral: most hung there till wind and weather brought them down. These photographs are likely their only record.
