Good News:<br />At approximately 12 noon on Tuesday Sept 28th our son arrived in Virginia after completing a 9 month tour in Iraq.The happiness level here has risen substantially.<br /> <br />Better News:<br />We will be picking him up at the airport Wednesday night for his 3 weeks leave time.<br /><br /><br />Our thoughts and prayers are always with those who continue to serve and/or have suffered losses during this trying and tragic time in our history.

Glad to hear he has made it home safe Bart. I pray every night for the safety of our soldiers and the peace loving people stuck in that place.

Bart that is great. Thanks for sharing this special time. If you think you are happy, I know he is. Been there and done that. Got the battle scars to show for it.

Bart, will you tell him thank you from a grateful family of three in Lower Alabama. I sleep at night because, somewhere there is a US Solider.
