Best X-mas Ever!!

[Statehacker]

Best xmas ever and it does not even involve the gifts I received, I received something bigger than money can buy, I got to be home with my family, if most of you dont know my story i will fill you in I deployed for Iraq June 30th and this is the first time I have been home. Also my son who is a Marine was home for the holiday, bonus number two, the last time I saw him was in April before he deployed to Afganistan in May, these have been some trying months for me and my wife with him in Afganistan, his Unit deployed with 150 Marines and in the 6 months they were in Afganistan they had 5 Marines Killed in Action and another 40 wounded in Action, also my oldest daughter was home from college, so that is bonus three, that with my younger, daughter, and wife, all being togther for the holidays, what more could a man ask for!!

I hope everyone had a great xmas and a very New Year!!

Today is called the present, because it is a gift!!

The only downside is that I have to leave January 9th and head back to Iraq!

Hey Bro,

So happy for you and your family. I know that I speak for all Americans in saying that we are all in your debt for protecting our freedom. Many, many thanks to you and your son... and to your wife and entire family for all that they endure.

Best wishes for a safe and prosperous 2011!
