Our son has finished his tour in Afghanistan and not only back in the USA but back in Texas!! We can't see him for another week at the "welcome home" ceremony. So proud of him and sending prayers for all our troops to come home safely.

Our other son has been living in Bulgaria for four years. He will move back to Texas with his wife and year old daughter (grand daughter we have not met in person), a week after his brother gets back. They will both live in the Austin area and we are so glad to have them all close again.

Wonderful. Thank you and them for the sacrifices you have made!!!

Wonderful news.

how great for your family! I can't imagine our two boys being out of the country...

Fantastic and to have him so close by, too. Thank him for his service to our country and his commitment to his family and the military. Land of the free because of the brave!!

You must be thrilled that they are going to be back home!!! Have a very happy reunion!!

I am so happy for you and your rejoined family! Austin is a fabulous place for young people -- lots of opportunity, things to do, lower cost of living, competitive shopping, sights to see -- they'll love it. And if you can bear I-35, you can get there in 4 hours for a lovely visit. Great year ahead for all of you!

Jan in VA

hooray for you, that is great news!

So happy that your family is back in the good old USA! It will be wonderful to see your family and hug that grandbaby!
Blessings to all of you.

That is the best news ever for you. Happy Days!!

Wonderful! It will be great to have the family together again. Joy to all!

Congratz on the great news! So happy for you :)

Good news for you. As most of my children are scattered all over the USA and don't see them often I know how you must feel to have them nearby. Thank you all for sharing him to keep us all safe. God bless you all.

I'm so glad for you that your son is home - I would be lost if my only (child) son went overseas. And my son is moving to Austin this weekend for jobs! I'm glad to hear it is a good place to live for young people. Thank your son and his family, which includes you, for his service to his country! God bless you all!

How very exciting and god bless our troops may they all return home safely to their families. I'm so happy for you, your family will surround you physically once again,

So happy he is home and safe! Enjoy!

So happy for you and thanks to him and his buddies for keeping our country safe!!!!!!

I am so glad to hear they are both coming home. I have a son stationed in Japan. We rarely see him. He has been there almost 5 years and loves it there. My DD and I went at Christmas time to visit and for his wedding. He married a wonderful Japanese girl. We miss them so.

Hi ChrisB: So happy for you and your family for being able to all be together in one state again. I'm sure it's not a feeling any of us can imagine until we've gone through the same thing. Thanks to your son for the protection he's given us all. Seeing your new grand baby in person has to be the cherry on the cake. Thanks to all!

Hallelujah! Home again safe and sound. Enjoy to the fullest and thank them for their service!!

God bless your son for his service. I have a nephew that is back in Kileen from Afghanistan and I'm very proud of him as well as all the troops serving our country. Glad he is home and safe.

God has blessed you and I am so happy for you and your family!!

Woo Hoo! I can hear your heart bursting with joy through your message!! :)

So happy for you and your family. God bless our troops and may they all be home safely soon.

Please say Thank You to your son who's coming home from Afghanistan! Ours is heading there in just a couple weeks. God bless him for putting his country first. It's so wonderful that you'll have your sons and that new grandbaby nearby real soon!

How wonderful for you and congratulations on getting your family back to the good 'ol USA! (especially Texas) Thank your son for his service. I'm an Army brat and know from personal experience what the family feels while they are gone. My daughter is scheduled to go to Afghanistan - leaves in January for a year's tour. I look forward to the day when I too can say that she is home.

Congratulations on having your family back home! And my thanks to your son for his service, to his family and to you for continued support to ensure the freedoms that we enjoy. Bless you all
