(2) Photo released hours before the returnees arrived, from the Pompeo-Kim meeting yesterday.
(3) POTUS arriving at Andrews aboard Marine One.
(4) Pompeo bounded off the plane because he knew he only had about 15 minutes in which to brief POTUS and VP on his trip before the plane carrying the returnees arrived.
(5) From inside the returnees' plane looking out toward the media and others waiting to welcome them home.
(7) A wide shot separated into two photos.
(8) One of my favorite photos from the night. Genuine warmth all round.
(9) The three men appeared deeply happy to be home but also exhausted and probably thinner than they would like to be. Walter Reed will take great care of them as they "decompress" and adjust to a totally different environment. Mental wellbeing is paramount.
(10) VP giving an interview to Good Morning America, some time after 4am. Everyone involved in this is running on adrenalin and not enough sleep. That's OK because they are team #HighEnergy.
(11) And the Today Show...
(12) And CBS This Morning. VP showing Margaret Brennan the psalm & personal thank you handwritten on a notecard by the 3 returnees. This may have been the card given to Pompeo when they arrived.
