Folks we have been contacted by not only the mom but also the mom in law to help make this welcome home special for their returning Hero. So what say you, can we do this ???? You bet we can. We have been asked to pick up our Hero at home and escort him to the starting point of his welcome home parade (SURPRISE) we will then fall in and escort him to Shadyside Park where they will be having a very large gathering of friends and family.
Below is a short Bio of our Hero. Mom is very excited about us assisting with Thomas' welcome home and she just wants us to help her let her son know how much his service has meant to so many people.
U.S. Marines - Lance Corporal Thomas A. Mitchell Bio:
Raised in Downingtown , PA. In a total shock to his family he enlisted in the US Marines in 2008! Boot Camp at Parris Island where even though a decade older then most he was able to place at the top of his class earning top PFT and a Meritorious promotion. Subsequently stationed at Aberdeen Base in MD and then to his current base, Camp Lejeune in North Carolina where he lives off base with his wife Suzane Mitchell. Tom also was awarded a Meritorious mast.
He deployed to Afghanistan in January 2010 and returned stateside in August 2010 after a successful deployment. While in Afghanistan he was in charge of many, many convoys that traveled throughout southern Afghanistan where his responsibility rotated between Vehicle Commander, Vehicle Gunner and Vehicle Driver. While in Afghanistan he spent 4 months in Delaram II, (marine outpost) before going back to Camp Leatherneck . While on base his responsibilities included Perimeter and Base Security and a member of the QRF Team. Tom is also a green belt with black belt certification put on hold during deployment. He will be qualifying for his black belt shortly.

September 10, 2010 Fox Philly “Good Day” Troop Support Event
On September 10 Fox Philly’s "Good Day" morning program will once again host a troop support event on Market street in front of the FOX 29 studios. They have asked Warriors' Watch to take part once again, and if you were not there last year you missed a great time.
Last year it was in November so this time it should be a little warmer at least. This is a troop-support mission as it is an event that directly benefits our nation's warriors.
As the date approaches we will set times and rally points
