Thanks to all of you that sent good wishes to my nephew. It was one of the most emotional things I have ever seen. it rained so hard all day, and all of those families stood in the rain waiting for the buses to come in. There were many delays, and the busses that should have come in at 1:30, arrived around 5:30. People stood in the rain, cheering and singing along with the speakers. There were grandparents, new wives, and several new babies never seen by their fathers yet. As those young marines got off those busses, everyone was so anxious to get to their marine; but there was no shoving, only people helping others get to their loved ones. I have never been prouder to be an American. This was Chris's second tour in Iraq, and it had been extended, so we were overjoyed to see him. This is the story the news should tell, not what the polititions want us to hear. We sent them there, and we damn well better support them. God bless our troops, and our country.
