During a welcome ceremony at the Waterlooi Airport, Iowa  veterans were welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd.

Among them was Kandie Vaughn, who pressed her cheek against each veteran's face and greeted them with, "Welcome home, young man!"

She is the step mother of Knight Stalker Travis Vaughn, who died in a helicopter crash on Feb. 18, 2007.

Kandie stepped it up a notch when she saw one of the veterans breaking out in a dance as the Cedar Valley Big Band played on.

At that time she did not know that her improvised partner was Maj. Gen. Evan Curly Hultman, former Iowa's attorney general.
