    EastIdahoNews.com and Ashley in Idaho Falls and Pocatello are partnering to honor people in our community for Feel Good Friday. Every week, we surprise someone deserving of special recognition.
    Sgt. Erin Sakelaris has been deployed with the Idaho National Guard in Kuwait for the past year.
    Her husband Josh and their 7-year-old daughter Cece have been home in Idaho Falls anxiously awaiting Erin's return.
    That arrival came just a few days ago and Josh invited us along to surprise Cece at school with her mom's homecoming. It was a special moment that we won't forget.
    Watch the Feel Good Friday surprise in the video player above and we extend our thanks this Veteran's Day to all who have served our country!

    Thank you so much for your service 💕 it’s not only the service members who sacrifice. It’s their families, too, by not having their mom, dad, or any other family member home for long periods of time. Let’s never forget what they give up to protect us.

    @1stltwife ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As a veteran myself and the spouse of a 25 year USN officer, I had 16 reunions and I felt every emotion from my experience! People forget that the spouse and children, although not military members, still serve! I have been in and out of uniform and although it was difficult, it was a choice and mission because we must have a strong defense in order to have the rights as citizens that perhaps many take for granted. Welcome home my sister in service and know that you and your family are a vital part of the wheels of freedom! With much respect May God bless you and America 🇺🇸 !

    These are great! But I keep feeling it's so traumatizing to the kids to be away from their parents for so long. There's got to be a better way, to make sure they're home more often. Bless all that served! And all that waited at home for them.
