    YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I know how it feels. We still have the banner in our garage from when our son came home from the Gulf War in '91. Your baby is ALWAYS your baby.

    Here's hoping your son is safely back on American soil.

    Thank your son and family for his service.

    From one military mom to another...thank YOU for raising such a wonderful person.

    May God Bless ALL of our troops and their families AND have them return safely.

    Today is Saturday and I pray your son has landed safely in Texas and is now with his family. You must be so excited that you are floating on air. Our babies are our babies forever! May God bless and keep him and his family. Please thank him and his wife for their gift of commitment to America.

    How awesome to have such wonderful news! Bless your son for his service to all the rest of us to keep us safe and to live the life we too often take for granted. Bless you and your family for the sacrifice you make everyday he is on foreign soil. Many prayers for a happy and healthy reunion in Texas; tears will fall but they will be of the most joyous kind.

So when i get to texas next month, they will all be there! The sun is shining,God is good..and it is gonna be a wonderful day! Kim
    What great, great news. God is good! When you see your son please thank him for me for his service to our country. Our young men and their families literally put their lives on hold and in jeopardy when they enter the service and they need to know their sacrifices are very much appreciated.

    At the end of church service our deacon was praying for all the men and women in the armed services. I too, pray for our men and women fighting for our saftey. My niece is in Afghanistan for the second time. One time when I was in the airport and a plane unloaded the soldiers, the whole room full of people stood and clapped as they passed by. It was very moving. I tell soldiers when I see them that I am praying for their safety.
