Glad to hear your son made it home safe!
Glad to hear your son made it home safe!
Again, thank you all for the good wishes.
NJ, sorry to hear about another "volunteer" being sent over. The maintenance guy here has some relatives in a medical reserve unit that are spending 2 weeks in Egypt next month and will probably be sent to Iraq by the beginning of next year. My sister also knows someone who's been there twice and now they are talking about sending him again. I certainly hope Bush and friends get a bit of sense and set REAL limits to how often reservists and guards can be activated and sent into war zones, and Iraq will ALWAYS be a war zone for us. The Germans and the Japanese complained alot about occupation and then about our troops being stationed in their territory. But they never had the kind of terrorist resistance we see in the Islamic world.
Okay, off my soapbox. And Joe, thanks for the wishes for discharge. I don't know how many others in my son's unit are trying to get out, but I hope they all get their wishes, and SOON.
