Happy Homecoming for a soldier

[stoney321]

I just heard that my friend's husband has safely landed in the US after being in Iraq for almost 2 years now. He was an MP and was dealing with the daily firefights in Bahgdad. Glad you're home safe and in one piece! To my friend: I'm amazed that you held it together with your girls these past two years. You rose to the challenge with grace, and raised two beautiful girls in your husband's absence.

Read this from Walt Whitman, and find it still relevant today:

The Real War Will Never Get in the Books
To the ... [men} stricken by wounds... at some time in the course of the contest were of more significance even than the politcal interests involved. Future years will never know the seething hell and the black infernal background of countless minor scenes and interiors...the real war will never get in the books.

Glad you're home, D.

No joke. War sucks. but Jerri Blank? Goddess among us. Stephen Colbert is a genius, too. The first time I saw Amy Sedaris not in her 45 year old prostitute makeup, I was blown away. She's cute!

And you know what? YOU ROCK!!!

This is such wonderful news.
My husband was there for almost a year. He had to leave Iraq a few months before his unit. (He had a stroke)
So glad to hear your friends husband is okay. That place is a total hell hole.
Ooh and yeah For Strangers with Candy icon.

Give yo man a great, big

kiss from me for getting his ass over there and back again. One of my friend's husband was in the first gulf war and has gulf war syndrome. I'm pretty down on the Bushies, which can be scary since I live about an hour and a half from Crawford, TX.

I hope your husband is doing better. Love a man in uniform. Hate to see them hurt.

I'm hoping to get the DVDs for my B-day, hint hint, Mr. Stoney...
