Follow the URL to LT SMASH's actual blog--he has some pictures up. This is just a heartwarming and touching story of a true patriot coming back home.

May he come home safe and soon. And may God bless our brave servicemen and women, in harm's way, fighting for US.

If you're not crying after reading this... I'm sooooo glad I keep a box of Kleenex reeeeeal close by. LOL! Thank you for posting LT. SMASH'S homecoming account. His way with words had me almost able to feel his excitement and anticipation all the way through.

LT. SMASH'S account of his long trip home is truly touching.

A few hours later, the captain announced that we had crossed over into US airspace over Lake Erie. A cheer went up throughout the plane, even louder than when we left Kuwait. Like a baby, here, radu. Thanks for the ping. Thanks, for the post MNLDS.
Thank you, LT, for sharing your experiences with strangers around the world. Well done. Welcome home.
No need to bring your own kleenex, Freepers. Radu's providing. LT's home.
If you want on or off my pro-Coalition/anti-wanker ping list, just ping.
One last awesome LT tribute post:
