My Granddaughter is Home From Iraq -- Yea!
We headed for Ft Campbell at 8:30 a.m. and was bussed to where they would get off the plane. Of course we waited and waited for a couple of hours when finally they told us we could go out and watch the it land. It was such a collective sigh to see the airplane finally make touch down. The troops (granddaughter included) got to march right in front of us. We all went back inside where a brief ceremony with them in formation took place. Then we got to hug and greet the them. Afterward we had to wait another couple of hours before we could take them home. I am so glad they are all home safe and sound. My granddaughter is engaged to a real nice fellow soldier Matt. They were deployed together and plan to get married in October.

Peaceful greetings from Jamaica. I am so glad your granddaughter returned home to her loving family. My nephew was in Iraq and our whole family prayed for his safety until he returned.
