Our local National Guard Unit the 1165th MP based in Fairhope AL, has returned to the States after 14 months in Iraq! They are at Ft. Benning now and will return home later this week. Several co-workers and other friends of mine have made it safely home. Just thought that I would share this with you all!! :D

Hopefully they ALL came home. That is awesome news. 14 months is quite a tour.

Yes I will tell them about your very kind words and your respect for them. On a somber note, one member was killed in duty and two others were injured and had to be sent stateside. The two who were injured reunited with the unit @ Ft. Benning. There was a pic on the front page of the Mobile AL paper yesterday with a soldier holding his 7 month old daughter for the first time. From what I saw, the baby looked like she knew that Daddy was holding her! :) <br /><br />Thank God Almighty for those who serve and have served!
