Our Marine is coming home for Christmas

My son, Ross, along with his entire USMC unit, landed in NYC this afternoon following several months' deployment in Afghanistan. Needless to say, our family is ecstatic at his return. From NYC, they are flying to his home base in North Carolina where after one or two days processing, he will be given leave to come home for the holidays.

Ross has apparently become quite the shutterbug, telling me he has taken 500 or more photographs of everyday life in war-torn Afghanistan. Those photos should make interesting viewing. We are anxious to hear his accounts and hope he is largely unchanged from the young man who left the States many months ago.

Tell him I said "Thank You for your service to the country".

My step son is in boot camp in Great Lakes and will miss his first Christmas this year.

I am glad he is coming home and will be with you for the holiday! I am sure he is also looking forward to being home and having family around.

Our daughter who is a captain in the Red Horse division at Nellis AFB will be home for two weeks starting the 23rd of this month. We value all of our time that we can spend with her and she is sure missed and worried after while she is deployed.
