POV: The Way We Get ByA group of senior citizens has made history by greeting over 900,000 American troops at a tiny airport in Bangor, Maine.
On call 24 hours a day for the past five years, they've become famous among the soldiers who have passed through the airport in Bangor, Maine, on their way to and from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Among their neighbors, they've become a source of pride. To a nation wrestling with the politics behind the wars, they're an inspiration. They are the "troop greeters" of Bangor, an intrepid group of retired and elderly citizens who have taken it upon themselves to greet every troop plane arriving or departing Bangor, which is the last and first piece of U.S. soil many GIs will see before and after their deployments. Wednesday, November 11th at 10:00 p.m. on PBS-HD.
