A dozen members of Friends of the Forgotten Northeast Wing met at the Wilkes Barre/Scranton International Airport tonight, to welcome home USMC Pvt. Michael Wentline from boot camp. As we were waiting for his flight to arrive, one of our members saw a uniform at the far end of the terminal. We rushed to that area to give a wlecome home to a young Navy Lieutenant who had just arrived on an earlier flight. It was a pleasant surprise for us, as well as for him and his family.

We went back to the gate where Pvt. Wentline’s plane had just landed and passengers were coming through. No Marine! We made a phone call, to find out that his first flight had been delayed, and he was transferred to a flight going to Philadelphia! So, we missed him, but still completed a Welcome Home mission!
