That was a terrifying few minutes

There is a TL;DR at the bottom. I watched as two of my friends got into their car, both of them offering a short and excited wave as they started the car and ventured onward. A few moments later, two joggers came to flank their card one on either side. I thought nothing of at first, until the cars sped along behind them, forcing them to increase their speed. That is when I knew it was over, that if they were to survive this, it would be a miracle. Two more vehicles joined the flock, except these two vehicles pulled in front of them, causing them to decrease their speed. I couldn't see my friends faces anymore, but I could imagine that they were wrought with worry and confusion. Then it happened. The two cars in front of theirs completely stopped. A man from one of the vehicles jumped out, a gun in his hand. He motioned my friend's wife to get out of the vehicle, she hesitated at first, giving her husband a tearful hug and kiss before doing as she was told. The man motioned her to stand in front of the first vehicle in the line. Then he motioned for her husband to do the same. The two lovers intertwined their hands as I watched, helpless to do anything. People started to come from behind buildings, from inside stores. Each of them were holding American Flags and singing The National Anthem. The man with the gun raised it in the air and fired off three times. When he spoke, his words offered relief. "Welcome To Our Country and THANK YOU for your service." The crowds around them began to embrace my two friends and each other. - - - - TL;DR : Had a dream that I was on a military base in another country, two of my friends were leaving from a get together we were having, and ended up being flanked by people appearing to be aggressive. They weren't.
