Returning of Portuguese Troops from Afghanistan

After six months serving in Afghanistan, last Friday 34 Portuguese Soldiers return home safe. In the airport terminal the families were impatiently waiting for them. It was a very touching moment to photograph as the emotions were on top and I almost could feel what the families and soldiers were feeling.
Every day we hear bad news on the TV, and for the families it must be hard to think on the beloved ones working on war zones, so seeing them after six months was a very relief and special moment.
