3. That was a sweet story.
I'm learning so much more about how the military works. My nephew is a Lt. for a platoon of 20 guys. They are heading off to Afghanistan this week :cry:. One of the tasks for him is to schedule time home for his men -- I think they get 3 weeks home. He's trying to do it for special days -- anniversaries, birthdays, etc. I just hope he gets to come home, too!

4. That is beautiful! I'm glad he's home safe.
I hope everyone else can come home safe too. :grouphug:

I hope this ends soon before any more families have to grieve. :(

5. Here's a K&R and a thank you. We read so many horrible, tragic stories here
so it's nice to read a heartwarming one.
