He's Coming Home! (Vanity)
Vanity ^ | Nov.17th. 2004 | self

Posted on 11/17/2004 6:48:12 AM PST by Graybeard58

Pictures of my son Steve. (FR screen name "smaagee")with James Gandolfini, and Tony Sirico of the "Sopranos" Which just shows to go you that not all actors are lib traitors.

Steve left Iraq after more than a year there and is currently in Kuwait. He leaves Kuwait tomorrow and will go to Ft. Lewis, Washington for a few days and then home by a few days after Thanksgiving. He is with the 724th, Transportation Co., a "Stryker" support unit. His company has had casualities and still has one man MIA - Spec4 Matt Maupin. Pray for Matt's safe return.

FR member "Hairofthedog" is arranging a greeting party for the company. If you are in the Seattle area contact her if you are interested.

FReepmail Steve with a welcome home ("smaagee")

No reason to be "sorry." Our country survives every
election; that's what makes it great. The polls are there to record our individual choices. Your son is a hero. The men elected to keep our country safe are also heroes...even if we don't agree with everything they do or say.

Maybe so, but I have to say that I have much greater respect someone who truely believes in liberalism, not just a political jack@$$, and shows support for his country, instead of calling our military murderers and oppressors like many other celebrities I could name.

Wonderful news! Would really like to know if your son is in a GROUPof soldiers getting a holiday home tour!

He sure doesn't look emaciated or having done without provisions.

I haven't heard anything about a "holiday home tour"

The only complaint that I heard from Steve the entire time he was there was during a stretch when all they had to eat was MRE - He was getting more than a little sick of them at one point.

You are right - He certainly does not look emaciated.

God Bless your family and a HUGE welcome home for your son. It's okay that Gandalfini is a dem, that's not my beef. My beef has always been the mouthy ones who think that celebrity makes them experts in politics.
