Welcome home is said to military men and women who have returned to the United States typically after being involved in a military conflict. Tradition starting after the disappointing returns so many soldiers received after the Vietnam War. Lately it has been used for any person in the military.
When I found out that John's friend was a returning soldier from Afghanistan as well as the Iraq war I told him, "Welcome Home" and shook his hand heartily.
