In the middle of my lunch today, my cell rang. It was S, telling me he was in North Carolina, back from Iraq!! He'd just gotten off the plane and on the bus to head back to his base in Jacksonville, NC. He's back on US soil, and I'm doing the happy mama dance!! Woo hoo!!

Oh I'm so happy for you!! What a great Mom you are giving him and his dw time alone!! I'm always looking at my mil thinking I want to be like her when I'm a mil but now I'm adding your traits to my list too!! That's a very kind and thoughtful thing to do! My dn served in Iraq a little over a year ago and we were so happy when she came back too! Tell him thanks for all he does!

I can guess how happy you are as I am married to a Marine who just retired a few days ago. Camp Lejeune was our last duty station-we just left in Nov. :) If you ever have any questions about it or USMC life I'll be happy to help. :)


Tell your son Thank You and that we appreciate his service to his country.

That's really great news, Rose! I was actually wondering about your DS last week when you were having to deal with the N & T stress and thought 'on top of all this, she has a son in Iraq to worry about too!" One less worry, now -- yaay!

Thanks to S, and to you too, for his service to our country.

I am still relatively new to the board, don't know you very well, but that had to be the best phone call ever!!

Very happy for you and wish you and your family well.

Thanks for all the well wishes folks! I'm so very happy that he's back in the states - and very proud of his service as well as that of my other DSs. I sure hope S is going to be the only one to spend time in Iraq or Afghanistan - yeah, I know that sounds selfish, but right now I'm feeling selfish about my boys.
