is back in the USA!! Not only back, but back with all the bits and pieces that he arrived in Iraq with....there just isn't better news than that!! His company landed at Fort Shelby in Mississippi where all of the de-mobbing begins and he will be heading to California to become a part time civilian again. We don't know how long all of this will take, but when he is finished with it he will head back to Maryland to spend some time as a student before he heads back over there. Perhaps I can convince him to head to Chicago in the fall to personally thank Ann and Kelly for the care packages...or.. perhaps not, but I am sure that he will want to see Mike and Dan to discuss those mixes.... |

I'm glad that Sam has arrived home. I have two "adopted" Marines and one or the other always seems to be in Iraq and I know how nerve-wracking that is for us back home. (But, they seem to love it--would rather be there than "missing the action.") Please tell Sam thanks for his service to his country. Where would this country be without men and women willing to put themselves on the line to keep us safe? Ted |

Thanks Ted, I've passed on your message and Sam appreciates your good wishes! He too is planning to go back, but I am just not thinking about that until I am forced to. In the mean time, I'm just relishing the reality of his being on the ground here in the USA. You are so right, and our fear for all of the kids over there is mixed up with our pride in them! |
