Homecoming...

[Uncle Sam]

Got the call about half an hour or so ago and Just want to share the news...and show my respect to the men and women of our Nations Armed Forces. Because no matter what's going on, they are there to answer the call !

My Brother has returned from Iraq. He is with the 101st. My Bro joined the Army in 1988 assigned to the 504th PIR Ft. Bragg, jumped into Panama as a PFC in 1989, received purple heart and the coveted star on his jump wings. 1 Year later went to Gulf War I with the same unit. Went through Ranger school, Air Assault, SERE, and many others...Got out in 1996 when they were downsizing, but went back in 1997 as an SSG. with the 101st. Went to Iraq for Gulf War II. And now he is home with all fingers and toes....Again!

His Class A's are something to behold. Numerous awards.

He is truly in a warriors class, and I respect him very much. He is the reason I joined back in 1992. I'm done...Thanks

I was just a child when my dad was in but I can still remember the joy in those hangars after a deployment. A happy time but we must all remember the troops who didn't get on that plane ride back.
