It sounds corny but their is something about it that makes me feel not only welcomed but dare I say it..... proud to be a US citizen. (and I am not overly patriotic)
I've only had this happen to me a few times - Once at HNL, ORD, and once at JFK I had a cheerful agent who welcomed me back & reminded me to vote tomorrow (this was just prior to the 2004 Presidential Elections).
Once I got out of Customs at JFK & switched for CVG, we pushed back and then were put on a 2+ hr ground hold in the penalty box because Bush was doing a last minute run through Ohio and had Air Force One parked at CVG.
