I am so glad to hear your loved ones made it home safely....my son came home from Iraq last sept and I could breathe again!
I had the hardest year of my life but I fear the experience has changed him forever and that makes me so sad. He is withdrawn from us and I still miss my son.
Anyway I wanted to let those of you that don't know about know about Motomail! Go to motomail.com and put in your military person's info and then you can write them online and it will be hand delivered to them within 24 hours. I was thrilled to find it...I was able to keep him updated daily with very little time...no stamps and its free for anyone stationed in Iraq! He is in marines reserves and has 3 years left to serve!
