I posted the following post a year ago this month.... It was interesting to go back and see who is home now, who has a family, and who has a new picture. But the part that broke my hear was how many of them were still waiting, a year later. (Captions in italics under the pictures are updates I added for this post.)
My face may be different
I laugh and I cry

Mark - still waiting. |
And I take pride in my gains
I was sent here among you
His love knows no bounds
It's those here among you
In cities and towns
That judge me by standards
But this family I've chosen
