Ladymimi,
Of coarse I'll celebrate with you. It has got to be the best of times for you knowing that your son and his fellow Marines are heading towards home soil.
Now there is a beer named Presidente, that is made in the Dominican Republic, a fine pilsner beer at that I was saving for the Super Bowl but your son is much more important than any Super Bowl could ever be. I do believe it is time to crack open a cold one or two and recognize your good fortune and celebration.
Pass on my best to one and all and thank them for their service to their country and to their Marine Corps.
Gary

The defense language aptitude test is designed to test if someone can rapidly comprehend an invented language. I was wondering if perhaps you were the inventer?

[Corpspapa]

Ok, now I can feel as though I am part of the group. My son is back from the 'stan, aka "Sand Box East." We went to Homecoming, and what an experience. One of Blake's buddy's parents couldn't make it, so we adopted Adam during our three day stay, bringing him with us to billetting. What a good kid, but he slept and slept. Missed a few good boozers, lol.

We were with Blake and Adam at the PX, when another Marine form a different Company showed up, and they began to 'talk' about their adventures. The "F" word flew out coninuously, but with no observation to other by-passers. It was hilarious.

My son's unit is home, but prayers continue for their replacement unit.

[Ladymimi]

I am so happy also your son is back also from the san box, I know your son Unit, We keep them in or prayers, I know what you mean..!! in my case lord have murcy ..I had the blessing of having at the end 21 Marines for 5 days .. arroved 9 I end up with 21 of them ..!!! and the conversations are totally hilarious..!! well I also goet trown on the pool for mothering my son..I guess I say someting like hey ..hijito ..you are not leaving today no driving for you..so ..the guys just say the woooooo ting they do at the same time and my son unswer ...doet ..doet now..!! and I goet lift and drapt on the pool ..and then they all jump ..and before they jump they all say ..wi'll save you mommmmmm...!! yea ..!! I learn my lesson..!!! they are a blessing to have they all behave really good and they eat..!!! mom ..we hungry..!! all day ..!! when they eat ..is emazing the happines they get ..to eat home made meals..!!!
