My son-in-law's return from Iraq

Video of the homecoming for my son-in-law Alan's unit as it returns to Ft Campbell, Kentucky. Glad to have them and especially him back. A few minor scrapes and breaks, but no major injuries and they spent nearly everyday on the road hauling equipment from outlaying operating bases to major bases such as Ballad. The equipment was then prepared for shipping back to the states or to Afghanistan.

God Bless Your SIL and family. Glad he made it home safe. I’m sure he was missed. My son will be home in August.
Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend with your family!

I am so thankful for your son and others like him. I grew up at Fort Campbell. The days my dad came home from Vietnam and Korea where indescribable but glorious. Enjoy!

My return from Vietnam was sure the opposite of what we saw yesterday. We were herded in to a building at Oakland Army Depot, measured for a Class A uniform then told to go to a mess hall for a steak but not to walk near a fence as the protesters would throw condoms filled with urine at us. The steak was like shoe soles. We then had to fly in Class A’s when we left there. No one said anything to me, but the looks said enough. Not a person came up to me and thanked me.

My request this Memorial Day is to find a veteran and thank him for what he did.

God Bless your SIL! My SIL, a Marine, came back from his second tour last October. He will be going to Afghanistan sometime in the near future.

Enjoy your family while they are home!

I’d like to give you a belated thank-you for your military service.

You guys got a raw deal when you returned home.

I’d like to say thank you too. I finished high school in 1975 and it was awful the way soldiers were treated. Thank you for a wonderful son in law also.

Well, I’ll say it now — thank your for your service. My husband was a Navy Medical Corpsman at that time — he has shared similar stories with me.

Been there, done that.

At every opportunity, I shake hands with service members and thank them.
