I am so very excited, my son who just finished his tour in Afghanistan has arrived safely back in the United States. I am so proud of him and all that serve. I will continue to pray for those of you that have soldiers in your lives that are serving.

Thank him for us! What a blessing he is safe!
My brother did 2 tours in Baghdad and Saudi a few years back. Safely in US for awhile now and will not be going overseas again due to an injury. All is good!
Thank you also for sharing your son for the freedoms of all!

I am also very pleased and thankful your son is home safe and sound. We owe so much to the dedicated men and women that have served for our freedom. My son also served in Desert Storm and it was a very difficult time for me, but I was very fortunate, he came home safe and sound. That was many years ago now.

My husband served in Desert Storm. It was very scary for my children at the time My 3 1/2 yo (at the time) was convinced her dad was dead and up in heaven. My 4 kids were 2 - 9 at the time. So glad he came home safe as well!!!

Painiacs 04-05-2011 08:50 PM

Welcome home! God bless you and thank you! My husband is a vet. Glad your safe! Please stay that way!

That is great news!! Thank him for us for his service to our country, and thank you for your sacrifice!

Edie 04-06-2011 03:24 AM

It is always so good to hear that our country brought home another soldier safe and sound to his family and to us! God bless them all.

There is a show on the Lifetime Channel called "Coming Home". It is a warm hearted show with stories of the soldiers coming home and what their families do to surprise them or the soldiers do to surprise their families. It is an uplifting show and some bring tears to your eyes. It is a marvelous show. I don't know what night it is on because I watch it on "On Demand".

And thank you, Mom, for letting your son or daughter protect us. God Bless you, also. Edie

quiltsillysandi 04-06-2011 03:41 AM
