FORT HOOD Sondra Huston just wants to cook breakfast and have her whole family sitting at the table.
One person hasn't been there for the past year her husband, Staff Sgt. Patrick Huston.
Patrick deployed to Iraq for the first time in his military career and returned to Fort Hood late Saturday night with more than 150 other soldiers from the 36th Engineer Brigade's 20th Engineer Battalion and III Corps' 3rd Signal Brigade.
Families and friends waited in the 13th Sustainment Command's gymnasium that night for the soldiers to return. Among them were Sondra, 9-year-old Katie, 7-year-old Kassie, nearly 3-year-old Clay and 1-year-old Justin. All of the Huston children wore Action Combat Uniforms, complete with their last name, their dad's rank and a 36th Engineer patch.

BEAUTIFUL, beachn4fun!! Welcome home troops!!! God bless each and every one of them and their families!
Why, thank you.
And, thanks for helping to welcome them home.
It always warms my heart to meet fellow military supporters who are doing what they can to show them how much we honor and respect their service and sacrifice.
By the way, I received this idea in an e-mail recently and perhaps this is a good place to share it. When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please include a card to the following:
A Recovering American soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue,NW
Washington , D.C. 20307-5001
And as always, our troops need those care packages too. :)
