O/T My soldier son's return

Kow Farmer · Apr 23, 2012

I got a call that I have been waiting for the last year. My son is in the Minnesota National Guard and flew back to the good ol' USA this morning to Maine. He will be going to Mississippi for a while then return back home. Talk about tears of joy! I am so excited. This is his 2nd tour of duty in Kuwait/Iraq. God bless him and the rest of our wonderful, brave troops.

Thank him for his service,,,,,,,

"All gave some, some gave all"

I remember when our Marine son was in Iraq way back when it just started and I remembered seeing all those old war movies where the telegram arrived or a military car drove up in the driveway.........Anytime I heard a car it was miserable during those times

God Bless him

Kow Farmer,

I was in the Navy during the Vietnam War but I never got to within a thousand miles of any one who was shooting at anyone.

I have the greatest respect for the men and women who do the "heavy lifting" of combat.

Thanks to you and your son for this sacrifice.

Glad to hear he is safe, GOD Bless him and all who serve may all come home safe and well cnt

donjr · Apr 23, 2012

Great to hear he's home safely. My Dad was a WWII vet, I was a Vietnam Navy vet, as my brother was a Vietnam Army vet. My Marine nephew came back from his second tour in Iraq just over two years ago, and just graduated from Randolph- Macon College in Virginia. Encourage him to pick up his GI benefits and go to school. We're all proud of them- I know you are.

Nancy Howell · Apr 23, 2012

Praise the Lord! I know you are happy beyond words. As others have said, thank him for me.

He and his fellow soldiers are the reason I sleep well. They are the ones standing in the gap and keeping this country safe.

paul · Apr 23, 2012

Thanks to him, happy to hear for both of you.

Tim Barnes · Apr 23, 2012

Tell him Welcome Home from an old V/N vet. We are all proud of him and his brothers & sisters still over there. Lord knows I wish we could and would bring them all home.

DoubleR · Apr 23, 2012

Tell him "THANK YOU"
I'm glad to see I'm not alone in doing so. Although I never thought I would be the only to do so in this group.
I'm happy for you and his family he made it home ok.

Mark - IN. · Apr 23, 2012

Congrats! Please tell him thanks for my family, friends, neighbors, and nation.

My guess is flew into Bangor? Ask him if they still sell live lobsters in the lobby. I don't know if were supposed to put them in the overhead luggage, in the pocket or what.

Again though, congrats and much thanks.

First, thank him for his service. Great to have him back safe. Next, keep pounding on him that we're loosing too many shortly after they come home. We lost a nephew to a drunk driver, six months after his second tour in Iraq.

kruser · Apr 23, 2012

Tell him THANKS from cIllinoiz for his service!

Nephew is in Afganistan? with the Army - Coming home in July. He missed his Grandpa's funeral (BIL's side) while there but seems to like it. Quit Perdue ROTC and school to go into training.

My brother and I feel very fortunate that we were just a "LITTLE" too young for Vietnam.
