    My son got home this weekend...

    That is he is with his wife and step-son at Fort Lewis, WA.  He got home a month early.  Luckily he is part of some sort of "Advanced Party."  And thankfully no Purple Hearts for that lad.  I should hear from him this weekend.

    Ooo-Rah!!!

    Semper Fi to both of you.  He may be a Ranger, but he's got Marine Blood in his veins.

    John, we'll take him off the 4th of July list.  What wonderful news.  We always like taking names off the list.  Tell him thank you for his service from me.

    John, I know you are relieved and proud that he is back in the Land of the Free. And now the waiting to see him will seem as if it is taking forever.

    A big Semper Fi to him and you from me.
