Well, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you that have put up with me talking about my son beng deployed to Iraq this past year, I know I was sometimes over the top with it.

So, it is with immense grattitude to our Maker, and pride to all our troops, that I am letting you know that at this moment, I am sitting with him outside of Fort Stewart, where I was able to watch his welcome home ceremony yesterday at 0730, it was an incredible and humbling experience.

But ya'll are not off the hook, last week he signed a re-up contract for 5 more years, so I know a future deployment is inevitable, and I know that I will be able to depend on you for support.

Thanks............
 
What a great blessing to have him home and your being able to spend time with him. Let us know when he deploys again and we'll do our part. For now enjoy your time together and that is great news.
 
Fatboy,

That is great news. I am so happy for you; and, that your son returned home.

Thank him from all of us here on the BB, and enjoy your time together. Hopefully, no more of our best and brightest will need to deployed much longer.

Please convey my gratitude to him for his service! I'm happy for you, as well, in that you finally have some relief from the constant worry that inevitably accompanies a deployment. Enjoy your reunion!!
 
Fatboy: May you and the family enjoy the time and the blessing of the Lord who has returned him home safe. May God Bless all of our young men and women is harms way in the service of our country. Let them return home safe. May His mercy and peace be with the families whose young have paid the highest price so we may be free.
 
Thanks again for all the support folks, I know i can alway count on ya'll. We are having a good time just chillin and catching up.

He's hanging with a couple of his fellow troops this afternoon while their wives are at work. They were bored, I think that after a year in close quarters, they don't know how to react being alone.
 
Thank him for us all, Tim. This is grand news, and maybe soon, there won't be future deployments.

God bless your family for the sacrifices your (and all) military families make.
