OT: Coming home from Iraq....

My nephew should be back from Iraq in the morning!!!  Yeah..  He has a 1yr old and a 2yr old......The 2 yr old is so excited.

Thank you Lord for keeping him safe.  

I know how you feel.  My son should be home from Iraq by the end of November.  He is the commander of a unit over there and he cannot leave till all the guys and equipment are out and the new guys are in place but it should be soon.  We were hoping to have him home for a great Thanksgiving but he won't be able to be home that soon but anytime will be a blessing and a time of much thankfulness.

It has been hard, he has a wife and 2 girls ages 5 and 8.  It has also been hard for my husband who still has nightmares everyday from Vietnam and with our son being gone it has increased that.

Would love to say I will be so glad when they all get home but realistically don't know if that will ever happen or not.

Tell your nephew THANKS and GOD BLESS

Terry

Please thank your son for me when he gets home. Our brave soldiers endure more than most of us would be willing to, and we owe them everything.

Thank your son for me also.  It's hard enough having a nephew, I can only imagine my son being gone to war.  I hope your family has a great holiday season. 

CONGRATULATIONS!! I am sure you are excited to see him also! Would you give him a hug for me with a great big thank you for his service to and for his country?!!! Michelle

How awesome!

How are you feeling?

Im so happy for you all that your soldiers are coming home.
I agree with the others please tell them thank you for us and a job well done and give them a extra hug for me to..
The kids are gonna be see so happy to see their daddys..

Give him a hug and a big THANK YOU from my family for his sacrifice and service. We owe our soldiers everything.

What a wonderful holiday season this will be for your families.  I will sure be glad when every soldier makes it home.  I have a husband and wife military family who live next door to me, they have two little kids.  They have both been to Iraq.  Each night when I see them come home in the fatigues I wanna run over there and tell them how greatful I am.  I support our troops and pray for them often, along with their families who have to endure the pain of letting them be there.

My nephews wife is also in the National Guard.  They will have 6 weeks together before she had to deploy in January.
