It was on a stake in the shoulder of a road outside of Menifee, CA, and had an American flag sticking out of each top corner.
It was a white sign, with red and blue lettering that read,
"Welcome back, Captain Doermann!
You're seven miles from home!"
That was the only one I saw, but I'm betting there was one at every turn between the 215 fwy and his house. I've never met the good captain, but apparently someone is glad he's home.

Captain Doermann most likely was involved in current war activities. I think it's great when family, friends, and other citizens show their appreciation upon their return home, especially after being in harm's way. They deserve even more if it was possible.

This reminds of of something.. Several years ago I was riding to work on my dirt bike, I wasn`t feeling very cheerful. I`d stopped riding along the highway after deciding if I was going to risk my life, I`d do it on my own terms, so I`d ride to work the back way past all the coal mines and then the suburbs. So I`m riding, early in the grey morning with my left fist on my hip as you do when you`re not feeling to productive about life. I see a sign nailed to a tree: `Feeling run down?` About a K later I see another nailed to a telephone pole: `Has life past you by?` then further on `Nothing you do seem right anymore?` I`m like what the... Then `Just turned 40? ` after while I see : ` don`t worry we still wuv you ` Then it all becomes clear: `Happy 40th Fred ! `

15 or 16 years later it still makes me smile.
