There were no plans for an organized welcome home bash in the rural town at the base of Mount Mansfield.

Local officials said they were wanted to check with Phillips and his family before arranging anything.

Still, spontaneous excitement was the order of the afternoon once Phillips, 53, returned from his ordeal in the Indian Ocean.

"It's really exciting that he's coming home," said 10-year-old Nate King.

To a certain extent, I think he's correct. He was a hero in that he placed himself before his shipmates. After that he surely was on survival mode. The sharpshooters were the heroes in that they were excellent shots and didn't shudder when doing their job. So....happy ending.
