Last night we noticed our neighbors across the street putting up Christmas lights. This drew our attention and then we saw the big sign on their garage:
Thank you Chris, and welcome home!
I have some pictures but don't have them on a site to be able to post. If some kind soul would be able to post them for me please freepmail me.
Thank you all.
Chris,
Welcome home! Thank you for the sacrifices that you have made to protect our country. God bless you and your family!

HOOOORAYYYYY!
THANKS AND WELCOME HOME!!!
Thank you thank you thank you thank.
I don't how better to say it. You make us proud and we owe everything we have to those who are willing to wear and HONOR the uniform.
You're a better man than I, but I would go if I had to.
I take your service personal, because it is for all of us that you serve. Thank you and welcome home. CarolAnn in Louisburg, Kansas
chris,
i salute you and your brothers and sisters in the armed forces protecting our people, those opposed and in support of what you do.
your sacrifices and the sacrifice of your family for the greater good of this country is greatly appreciated, more than can ever be compensated.
my 8 year old son is oblivious of the war on terror and can concentrate on being a boy of eight... i worry about his future as all fathers worry and when he grows to manhood and chooses to fight for the protection of americans i will stand proudly doing whatever i can do in support; as i support you and the efforts of our brave fighting forces.
God Bless and keep you safe and His will be done.
God Bless America

Welcome home and thank you, thank you, thank you. You have guaranteed your place in history!
WELCOME HOME! . . and thank you for your service to our country!
Chris:
It must have been scary to defend our beloved country in a place where ideas of living and dying are very different from ours.
I, a single mother of two, cannot thank you enough for putting your life at risk by joining the military and then proudly serving our country during this most difficult time. My son, almost 17 years of age, may also have to join the military if a draft is reinstated which scares me to know end. But, if that happens, I hope that those here in the states will think of him with the love and respect that we feel for you on this site.
We are thrilled that you have come home safely, and pray we get the rest of our men and women home from overseas safe and sound also.
God blessED you and we are grateful.

Welcome home soldier! My family thanks you for your service. We thank you for fighting over there, so that we may be lucky enough to not have a war over here. May God bless you, your family and America.
