After a 1 year tour in Iraq....
My son is safe in Kuwait and headed home! No longer carrying a weapon every moment, no more patrols into unfriendly territory risking his life on a daily basis.

He'll be on leave for 3 weeks in October and able to celebrate his birthday at home! My relief and joy are unmeasureable! I just had to share.

Great news!! :-) I'm hoping he's outta there, but you said "leave." Does he have to go back? Or will he be stateside or elsewhere IF that's the case?

I thought the Palestinians were dancing in the streets again, during the "911" anniversary.

Glad your son is back home...at least for 3 weeks.

No, he's done for now in Iraq. It's back to Kansas for him. Hopefully this will be out of Iraq for the duration of his duty.

MarkO - not sure the MOS # but he's a combat engineer.

Now to plan the big homecoming party! You're all invited in spirit!
