Welcome Home Coming Again...
Marine Corp and Troops coming home is about all that has been on my mind. Our son Jake is due to return from Afghanistan in the next 7-10 days. He is a sniper with the USMC 2/2 and it has been entirely too long since we have seen his smile, put our arms around him or heard his laugh~when he steps foot on American soil, we will all sigh a huge sigh of relief and give thanks to the good Lord above..... Below is a photo of our son, Matthew, hugging his sister, Jodi, after returning from his deployment (in December 2009) to Afghanistan with the USMC 1/5....with both of the boys deployed at the same time, I think we all squeezed Matthew extra tight when he walked out on that deck.

Rest in Peace
....and with every homecoming, there are those who don't come home, but to be laid to rest. Who gave the ultimate price for our great Country. A friend of our son, memorialized a 'brother' who lost his life in Afghanistan while they were deployed...this was one of the first things he did after he got home.... Rest in Peace David.
Pure Love
This is a sight I will never forget. Our son meeting his daughter again after 9 months. He was deployed when she was a month old. Here, she is 10 months old and a whole lot different than when her daddy left!...unexplainable love.
