My 25yr old son just last night returned safely from his third tour in Iraq. Whew... I just spoke with him and he seems in good spirits and glad to be back home in the States. Says he's got all his parts and they're all working. No details forthcoming, but know that you guys will be glad for me that he's home safely.

Okay, Kenny and Jerry...you guys can take the war/army/etc. and run with it. I'm just a happy and very, very thankful mom.

Aw Kenny, it was just a little aside to you in respect of your political views. Nothin' personal...I was just feeling giddy and meant to convey that regardless one's views (my own included) everything pales in comparison to the joy felt when the kiddos return safe and sound. I have a dear friend who is a very vocal socialist. So whenever possible (in a loving way, of course) I nudge her about it. That's what I was doing...nudging you and Jerry. nudge...nudge...nudge to you!

P.S. I just re-read that and realized I still sound giddy. You guys will just have to give me this day to be sillier than usual. Tomorrow...back to normal, I promise.

The current U.S. troop withdrawal timetable calls for the removal of all combat forces by December 2011, I hope everyone of them get to sit on a beach and just kick back for a while although on second thought they may never want to see sand again!

That's funny, Jerry. That's exactly what my son said after his final tour in Iraq. I was all excited to pick him up in San Diego and head for Rocky Point...he looked at me like I was crazy and we headed for the mountains instead!

Wonderful to hear that Rosie. Tell him thank you so much for his service to our country. Without guys and gals like him there would be no freedom.

I'm sooo happy for you and your son, Rosie. The sense of relief must be humongous! Add my voice to the chorus of thanks for his service.
