I can’t help believe that Americans make coming home so much more than anyone else.

I pray each night my own Son comes home to us well and whole. I pray that is not too much to ask. He has been gone so long and we all miss him more than words could ever say. My walks to the back pond to fish are just no good anymore.

Each new reunion I see gives me hope and fills me with pride for the job he is doing.

Home was made for coming from with dreams of going to.

Wow, please accept my praise.

When, not if, he comes home, be ready for somebody who has been changed and affected by the things he has done and seen. I will not have been and easy trip.

Welcome him and cook him some ribs or a brisket. And tell him Thank You from us who have not given up our time and skin to those wars.

Thank you for you post, that was very intimate.

I pray your Son comes safely home too. May God bless you and your family for his service.

I think maybe if politicians watched a few shows and/or videos about troops coming home, maybe they wouldn’t be so eager to send our boys in to police the world.

We either need to go all-in to win these wars, or never go in to start with. Our troops deserve that much. :)
