My family thanks your son for his service and sacrifice to us and our country. Please give him an extra hug from us. I honor your son as well as you, his family. You must be so proud of your son. Without him and other heros like him, we would not be enjoying the many blessings we do each day. Thank you and God bless.

Can't wait to hug my son when he returns from Iraq. There is no easy place to be in Iraq nor Afghanistan. I love our troops.

Thank You all for your kind words and great images. The computer screen was getting blurry reading all your pings.

And to hear from FReepers who we haven’t pinged with in a while, and those new Freepers who sent a message, is just priceless.

You are in our prayers that you have as joyful a Christmas as we are going to have.

Again, Thank You.

[Mrs] & [Mr] Trooprally

Yes, that is Glenn. Great guy. His wife died on a Friday recently from a long illness, but he still came out to Olney the next day. He said it was good to be around friends.

LOL

I wonder what would happen if a similar sign was put up late one Friday night. Just a good thought.

Semper Fi. Thanks for your service. I’m going to print out this thread and give it to him.

My words will not be enough to express all that everyone has said here. Best to let him read it personally.

I’m so very glad your son is home!
He has a beautiful family from what I could see from the pictures even though he kind of swallowed them up in that great big hug. Merry, merry Christmas to you!
