Soon it would be time for the veterans to climb on planes and return home to their everyday lives. But for a while longer, they spent Sunday afternoon sipping in cool breezes and scenic views of Lake Lanier from the balcony of David and Rita Scott’s Forsyth County home. “It’s like a game resetter of some type,” said Josh Sherwood, a longtime Marine based out of Portland, Ore., of the weekend spent with six other servicemen.
