My oldest son arrived home today from his 2 year deployment in Korea! It's been a long 2 years but he is home and so are his two younger brothers after 3 tours of Iraq between the two of them. My oldest will be home about 3 weeks and then off to Fort Campbell to join the 159th Med evc group. He flies in the heilcopters that pick up hurt soilders. By July he should be in Afghanistan! But for the next three weeks he is home where his Mama can hug him!!!! God Bless all who have served and those who will!!!

Betty Jo: God Bless your sons. Thank them for their service. I appreciate what they do for our country. I'm so happy you and your boys had the time y'all had together. I do pray daily for all of our troops.

I just wanted to update you all on my son's visit. It was 3 weeks of joy. We cooked together, Rebuild car motors (2 cars hot roded), Gardened, and just had good old time family fun. My oldest as of May 6th is now stationed at Fort Campbell, and already looking at a transfer. The best part is his deployment to Afghanistan has been move to next February. When he arrived his orders were change and he is not going to the Med Evac unit. He is so bummed. He is not going to be flying at all unless he can get a transfer. So please keep your fingers crossed that a transfer comes through. He loves his flying and I would rather he be in the air then on the ground. Thanks for all the good wishes. It feels so good to know I can hop in the car and be to him in 8 hours.

Thank you so much for your family and the way they protect mine! I salute you and yours! My grandfather and many uncles and cousins and even my FIL has served and some are serving now. I know the kind of worry you've endured only not as strongly as if it were my child. I want you to know that there are those of us out here who appriciate what you and yours are doing for us.

Betty Jo, I know you are one happy lady! I am so happy for you. And for them. I can imagine thy are so glad to be back. Please give them all a pat on the back for me. My brother was in Special Forces 25 years and retired but still does work for them. He goes places where he can't tell anyone where he is. So enjoy those guys all you can. Please thank them for me for all their hard work.

So glad you have your kids home again! That had to be difficult when they were all overseas.
