When you get to see him, hug him, kiss him, and thank him for his valiant service to our great country for me ( I am old enough to be his grandmother). What a fitting day to come home. Veterans/Armistice

So happy your son is coming home. I know you are excited to be able to see him in December.

Barb, Thanks for sharing the wonderful news. Can you hear me yelling good cheers from So. Cal. in American Samoa? I'm so happy.

Where will he be stationed? If he is in So. Cal please send him my way as I'd love to give him a hug, tell him thank you for serving, and help show him a good time in So. Cal.

Again, GREAT news. I'm really happy he is home!
