They arrived about 3 a.m. to a cheering, flag-waving crowd of relatives, wives and children on a field at the Texas Army post.
His wife, Annaden Palemene, said that her husband had wanted the children to stay home, but that she wanted them to be there to greet their father. She held a large sign that read "Sgt. Palemene, Your Tour Stops Here."

We are grateful for Staff Sgt. Elama Palemene’s, and the rest of the troops, safe return. Our thanks, also, to the soldiers that are still fighting for democracy around the world.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families that have lost their loved ones in the war. The patriotic duties they have performed will not be forgotten.
We started working with Fort Lauderdale SEO for about six months now and we are very pleased with their work. They have been prompt at returning our calls and they follow through with the work they are doing for us. Our website rankings on Google are improving month after month and I would recommend them to any business owner. It's really nice to have someone local in Fort Lauderdale we can rely on.
