My DS went in the AF in May and we haven't seen him since. He flew in yesterday!! It was so amazing to see him. People actually applauded as he came off the plane. He wasn't sure what to do with that..but he was gracious. (he was in uniform) He looks so much more manly....I'm so proud of him.

So, he's home hangin' out and we were actually chatting with each other on FB...lol. too funny.

Just thought I'd share....:0)

Oh, that's wonderful. Your post brought tears to my eyes.

Tell your son thank you for his service to our country and for keeping us safe.

Have a great Christmas with your son!!!!

I am glad you got to see him in under a year. The deployments and assignments can be extensive and wearing on our service people and their families.

Enjoy him all that you can and I am glad the folks in your area are patriotic, respectable, and proud !

dl

I certainly am enjoying him!! We are actually watching one of the stupidest movies ever together...."Love You, Man." lol Now that's love.....it's a very awkward movie to watch with your son. eek

Nice to hear that he is home and you are enjoying your time together. My boy is home too. Thank your son for his service to our country! ~Lisa

So happy he's home! My son just got home from college for Christmas break and I hadn't seen him since August 16th. He had to spend the night in the Denver airport since his connecting flight got cancelled though! lol

Congrats on your wonderful son..enjoy your time together !

My son left for basic in August and they closed the base down over Christmas, it was so good to see him. The minute he got off the plane he wanted to go eat at a buffet and take his time eating. A lady came up and told him thank you for serving out country, then her little girl, about 4 or 5 said the same thing. Boy talk about a tear jerker for me! So yes enjoy your time with him and thank him very much.
How long is he home for?

I'm glad your son is home. To you and Thaler 5 my husband and I would like to thank (With Love!) your sons and your families for the sacrifices you have all made to keep us safe and free.

Thank guys we appreciate every thing that you do. Enjoy your families and the time you get to spend together.

Thank you for your wonderful messages. It has been terrific. He leaves the 2nd. That's gonna be hard, but he's all grown up...they can't live at home forever and if he did there would be something wrong!!

Thanks you guys bring tears to my eyes! I think it is knowing that he is off to places he should not be. The majority do just fine, but I don't wish anyone the crap that some of the service guys have to do and see. It is sad to hhear about this when they do come back and yes he volunteered for this and I respect him for that decision.
It seems that the second has come way to quickly hasn't it?

I'm so happy for you! Enjoy the time together!

Yay!! I'm so happy for you, and I too thank your son for all his hard work and dedication to this country.

That's awesome! Hope you have a great time together.
