    How wonderful! Where is he flying into? Does he need anyone to meet him? (I'm sure no on that last one, but just checking)

    Make sure to tell him that I said thank you for serving.

    Fabulous news, Be sure and thank your son for his unselfishness in securing our freedom. And his wife also, she is certainly a big part of this.
