So, I just spoke to my son .... he'll be home from Iraq on Thursday!!!
I am definitely one happy mom!
smf0605,
This is fabulous news! I can't imagine the anxiety you must have been experiencing during your son's tour in Iraq!
I am thrilled that you we be seeing your son very soon. When you get a chance please thank him for me and my fellow Americans for being so brave, for serving our country and being a true Patriot.
Most of all is how BRAVE your son is that impresses me. He wasn't drafted to fight in Iraq, he signed up. Right? God bless you, because you have raised a great man. All of our men in Iraq deserve HERO status in my book.
Its good to know your son is coming back in one piece. There are 3000+ mothers that are not as fortunate as you.
Its for this reason I wish UPS would celebrate veterans day as a holiday. They celebrate new year's eve which is ridiculous because they don't honor our great military men and woman.
