Hey Tonkin,

I know I am EXCITED about her return and so is Sandy and ALL her family!! I hope it will be nice weather, but even if it is pouring rain they will ALL be so happy to be back home! I imagine the memory of the actual arrival will be a blur for her and ALL the Marines. They will just be so releived to finally be back home in the good ole USA!

I plan to go there with sister Sandy, (SK1 Thurman), and to give her that big hug she most assuredly deserves! I plan to bring my banner that says "Land of the FREE, home of the BRAVE".

Wow that is a week from today. I am sure she is on pins and needles as we speak!

Semper Fi, and Welcome hOme Trish!

YUP, a week from now she will be home!!!!!!!!! I have finally got my stitches out of my mouth and doing much better. Look forward to my trip next wek to see my sis!!! Ben over a year and a half. Wait til she see's the kids. Norb gets to meet her hubby, Curly (my dad), and her in laws. Will be an awesome time. I plan to take pic's so we can scan and post. Sandy(SK1 T)
