The countdown is over! Your service member is finally about to return home and you are a bundle of nerves and excitement all rolled into one. You want everything to be perfect when you are reunited as a family. The fridge is stocked, the house is clean, you have picked out the perfect outfit for the day…and you are thinking of the perfect thing to write on a banner or poster board for the big moment. A group of our military spouse contributors compiled a list of 29 of our favorite homecoming signs! Have an awesome picture or saying to add to our list? Feel free to share!
