Troop Greeter Profiles

Meet Our Troop Greeters

The heart of the Maine Troop Greeters & Museum is represented by the dedicated men and women who stand ready—day or night, rain or shine—to welcome our service members passing through Bangor International Airport. Each Troop Greeter embodies our mission of gratitude, offering a warm smile, a handshake, and a moment of connection to those who serve.

Here, we honor the volunteers who make this tradition possible. Learn more about their stories, their reasons for greeting, and the lasting impact they have on the troops who walk through our doors. Every face you see represents countless acts of kindness and a shared commitment to saying, “Welcome home” and “Thank you for your service.” 

Note that this continues to evolve as we add new troop greeter profiles. It is organized in alphabetical order by last name. Click on the profile that you wish to see.

We are currently working to add content, so please stay tuned and all of the profiles will be completed.
