Yep, my son is home from Iraq... thanks be to God and all of you for your prayers. We got back from Camp Lejeune at 2:00 AM this morning and he is with us on leave for 10 days. He had some scares and close calls, but he's safe for now. He went through some things that no one should have to experience and brought back some shrapnel that would have taken his legs off had the HumV's tires not absorbed them. Mortar and RPG rounds simultaneously hit the HumV he was standing beside. The Marines inside the Hummer suffered mild concusions, but are otherwise okay. His unit lost 16 people during their 7 plus month ordeal... the most of any unit since the campaign started. My heart and prayers go out to all of the families involved. As well as all those still in harms way.
