My 25yr old son just last night returned safely from his third tour in Iraq. Whew... I just spoke with him and he seems in good spirits and glad to be back home in the States. Says he's got all his parts and they're all working. No details forthcoming, but know that you guys will be glad for me that he's home safely.
Okay, Kenny and Jerry...you guys can take the war/army/etc. and run with it. I'm just a happy and very, very thankful mom.
LJ! You should'a let me know! I am the all-time kid finder in Iraq...I slept in the day and tracked by news at night...tell your person we'll buy 'em a beer or beverage of their choice upon return!

Not sure what you mean Rosie, but I'm happy for you and your son... I'm also looking forward to more loved one's feeling as you do, and the sooner the better.
Congrats Rosy....glad he made it back with everything intact (at least physically).....my daughter's fiance is slated to go to Afghanistan...he's been postponed twice now....and she's super stressed about it.
Excellent news an I am sure you are enjoying it every second of it as you should!! I will open a tecate for you and him and thank him too!!
Bienvenido a casa!!

Aw Kenny, it was just a little aside to you in respect of your political views. Nothin' personal...I was just feeling giddy and meant to convey that regardless one's views (my own included) everything pales in comparison to the joy felt when the kiddos return safe and sound. I have a dear friend who is a very vocal socialist. So whenever possible (in a loving way, of course) I nudge her about it. That's what I was doing...nudging you and Jerry. nudge...nudge...nudge to you!
P.S. I just re-read that and realized I still sound giddy. You guys will just have to give me this day to be sillier than usual. Tomorrow...back to normal, I promise.
The current U.S. troop withdrawal timetable calls for the removal of all combat forces by December 2011, I hope everyone of them get to sit on a beach and just kick back for a while although on second thought they may never want to see sand again!

That's funny, Jerry. That's exactly what my son said after his final tour in Iraq. I was all excited to pick him up in San Diego and head for Rocky Point...he looked at me like I was crazy and we headed for the mountains instead!
Rosy -
we're happy for you and your family.
My sister-in-law recently had her orders changed from Afghanistan to Germany, we were more than a bit relieved.
we sure wish all our sons and daughters would be coming home soon, and safe, from all over the world.
