Home Safe and Sound

After many delays our son Jeremy arrived home from Iraq. We were unaware till later that evening just how lucky we were to have him home in one piece. Their first mission his humvee hit an IED and miraculously no one was hurt. This is just a short clip of his welcome home. Sorry, as it was late the light was not excellent, but I think you can tell we were pretty excited.

Well we are now home, he is visiting one of his brothers this weekend and will be coming home soon on leave. In the meantime he has begun the process of preparing the paperwork for his leaving the Marine Corps after 4 years of service and two deployments to Iraq. If you keep an ete on YouTube in the weeks to come he will be posting some of his videos of this tour. Search under t-cup pictures and you should find his stuff. Thanks for all your support whislt he has been away.

Thanks guys, cannot tell you how good it is to have him home. Just being able to pick up the phone and call him when you want to without having to wait. Just cannot stop thinking about the scary stories and wondering what he has not told us.

Amy thanks for your comment and we will pass on your thanks. Don;t forget the families left behind, if you know of someone in your town who has a realtive, son or daughter, husband or wife serving stop by and say thanks, see if there is anything you can do to help, maybe offering to babysit for an evening would allow them a little time off. People do not realize the stress families also experience with loved ones in battle zones waiting to hear that they are alright.
