As Iraq War ends, no parade for troops is imminent (AP)

FILE - In this Dec. 24, 2011 file photo, Sgt. Howard Acoff hugs his family as U.S. Army 1st Cavalry 3rd Brigade soldiers return home from deployment in Iraq at Fort Hood, Texas. These 3rd Brigade troops were in the last convoy to leave Iraq, as U.S. soldiers withdrew from the country. For now, there are no plans to hold a huge ticker-tape parade for troops returning from Iraq, no arrangements for a grand, flag-waving, red-white-and-blue homecoming of the sort America’s fighting men and women received after World War II and the Gulf War. Instead, most welcomes have been smaller-scale: hugs from families at military posts across the country, a somber commemoration by President Barack Obama at Fort Bragg. (AP Photo/Erich Schlegel, File)AP - Americans probably won't be seeing a huge ticker-tape parade anytime soon for troops returning from Iraq, and it's not clear if veterans of the nine-year campaign will ever enjoy the grand, flag-waving, red-white-and-blue homecoming that the nation's fighting men and women received after World War II and the Gulf War.
