My dad is back! We knew he would come around Christmastime, and are very glad he made it before the holiday. It's SO nice to have him home and out of harm's way. No more IEDs, snipers, or rocket attacks to worry about. We are so proud of him and the excellent job he did in Iraq. He was awarded a Bronze Star Medal for "heroic or meritorious service." He was also chosen to be promoted to colonel. There are still so many others currently serving overseas. May God bless and watch over them and their families this season. Their service is such a sacrifice both personally and for their families.
