We drove down to Camp Lejeune early this week for our son's homecoming. It was cold and raining but we couldn't have cared less. A tremendous shout went up from the families as the first Marine stepped off the bus and after a little searching through the crowd there he was, tired and hungry and smiling.

The article SandRat posted is pretty much what our Corporal told us in between eating and sleeping. We only had 24 hours with him before he had to report back but it was enough and we are so thankful.

We are all happy for his safe return and his service to this country. He has memories that will last a lifetime.

Give him a pat on the back and a big "Thank You" from me the next time you see him.
