The soldier is alone... as he is never alone in battle
The weight of all he has seen and done bears down on his broad shoulders. The soldier's personal war is over: he is Heading Home.
-Thomas Kinkade

Folks here in the Columbus area are looking forward to your arrival!!!
Sue in Worthington, OH
Welcome home! Thank you for your service to our country. I witnessed the return of the 3/25 yesterday in Brook Park. It was a great sight. We never forget those who gave the ultimate sacrifice....
Welcome back, man!!!
Char and I were freaking out a couple times when we hadn't heard anything about you for a while. It's good to know that you're finally back and safe.
When you get a chance, feel free to vacation out here on the coast - it's beautiful. Good places to relax. We miss you.
glad u made it back in one piece mate ....hope you get some well earned time off!
Being a "Marine Mom" you are all my kids!! I'm so glad you're home safely and mourn for your brothers that didn't. You served with bravery and honor and are America's TRUE heros! Thank you!
God Bless America
Here they go again,
The Yanks in their armoured parade
Chanting their ballads of joy
As they gallop across the big world
Praising America's God.
The gutters are clogged with the dead
The ones who couldn't join in
The others refusing to sing
The ones who are losing their voice
The ones who've forgotten the tune.
The riders have whips which cut.
Your head rolls onto the sand
Your head is a pool in the dirt
Your head is a stain in the dust
Your eyes have gone out and your nose
Sniffs only the pong of the dead
And all the dead air is alive
With the smell of America's God.
Harold Pinter January 2003
