SSG Will's Home!
I was pleased to receive an email from SSG. Will informing me that, following a 39 hour trip, he's been reunited with wife and daughter, the latter being someone he'd never met in person as he shipped out to Iraq just before she was born.
He's obviously thrilled to be home and enjoying the big and little pleasures of life in the States (the former I've already described; the latter include rain and broadband access).
And since he's continuing to check in on the Gazette, I know he'd appreciate any "welcome home" comments you'd care to leave. [Hint, hint]
What Jim said.
We are grateful for your service and sacrifice, as well as the sacrifice of your family while you were deployed.
Thank you, sir.

Posted by: Gwynne at December 14, 2005 04:03 PMTwo nations, theirs and ours, owe you an unpayable debt for the danger and the hell you went through to uphold the democratic ideals all decent societies are founded on.
You're a hero, SSG Will!
Welcome home!

Posted by: Phyllis at December 15, 2005 12:38 AMWelcome home, Sgt. Will, and Merry Christmas to you and your wife and daughter.
I enjoyed the pics you sent of the vehicles in Iraq and the people in the pics. You made the war more real for me and helped me better understand that these are real people making sacrifices that are ongoing, both at home and abroad, some of them my neighbors.
God's blessings on you and your family.
