Finally over....16 Sep '06 to 24 Dec '07.
Boy is it wonderful to be back home! :D
Those of you who took your personal time to write to me and pray for my safe return...thank you.:cool:
The progress that I was witness to, during one of the bloodiest and deadliest years in Iraq, was remarkable. There will always be the naysayer who believes their own version (or the media) - but I can say without a doubt that the United States of America, my America, is helping Iraqis make Iraq a better place.
There is still much to do, and many of our men and women are doing it. Thank one of them if you see them. Pray for all of them that you don't.

Are you wearing your reflective belt when walking outside your house, keeping your right hand free, and collecting for stashes when you visit the market?

Job well done. Welcome home!
Welcome home! Thank you for your service. I hope there's a sunny beach and a nice reef in your plans.
Eagle,
Welcome Home Sir!;)
Thank You for Your service and sacrifice.

Welcome home and Thank you.
Eagle - great to hear you are back home in the U.S. I send you greetings from the Pacific NW - home of First Group - and your former digs. You moved too quickly though - Cabelas opened a store in Lacey, WA.
It looks like the Sonics will be coming to a city closer to you in the near future. Who needs 'em anyway- the WSU Cougars are ranked in the Top Ten of NCAA hoops. :)
Take care and enjoy the holidays in the Land of the Free (thanks to you and others like you).
Mike
WELCOME HOME!

Welcome Home, just in time for the Holidays. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Doc! (and more importantly, Brother 18D) Welcome home to the land of the big PX! Grab a beer, grab momma, and relax a little. we're all really glad you got home safely, and if you are in the Seattle area, I know of a great little brewpub that might have a libation and a burger calling your name.

Now don't go thinking we're going to get all mushy over you :D but it is damn nice to have someone we know go and come back. It's kinda' hard to give you a slap on the shouldier and a firm shake of the hand but consider it given and again - Welcome Home.
Pete
Wishing all our members fare as well, but knowing some have not and will not.

Welcome home. I was not gone as long as you were Eagle but I remember the elated feeling of landing back on Americian soil and seeing my wife oh so well. Enjoy every second you are home... at least this time of year you don't have to cut the lawn. :D

I hated Eagle being gone, no place to bunk and get served great home cooking when visiting a particular SF Group. :mad:

Welcome home Eagle. Excellent report on developments over there! It must be a wonderful feeling to be home. I know from a parent perspective, the arrival home of our soldier is comparable to the joy realized on the day they were born.
