Other Welcome Home Efforts
Often, we have individuals that hear the applause, clapping, and “welcome home” shouts of joy as they visit the airport at Baltimore International. They come and see the commotion and often ask us if there is a group like OWH (MD) closer to where they live. Thus, we thought we would start collecting web sites to help those who are unable to come at our events due to distance. If you are aware of an organization who greets our returning Hero’s. at an airport, please contact OWH (MD) web master to be added to this list.
