Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
For five years, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport has operated its Welcome Home a Hero program, which has brought thousands out to the airport to welcome home soldiers on leave or just passing through. And though it's been well-covered -- here's the ABC World News piece from '07 -- till I came across this video, I'd never seen the meet-and-greet line from a soldier's perspective.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
