My son touched down at Pope Air Force Base next to Fort Bragg Thursday evening, his tour in Iraq has ended. I was not able to go see him because this is finals week at school and I had too many classes to have someone cover for me. My wife and younger son were there to greet him.

He will be up here next weekend and I plan to have a COA America I have been saving for this special event. I thought that would be appropriate.

Thank you all for your kind words and support during his deployment. And for all the BOTL's who are serving or have served, a big Thank You for what you do!
