My husband is coming home for R&R on the 21st. (from Iraq)

[Solly Mack]

I'm so excited!.....and nervous.:bounce:

He's been gone since April 4, 2003.

Just wanted to share.

Thank you to everyone for their support.:grouphug::yourock:

Maybe I can get him to post on DU while he's here.

[Jivenwail]

2. Congratulations!

And may you both have one hell of a homecoming!

Does hh have to return to Iraq when it's over?

Keep us informed on how he looks and how he is doing - - and I will be thinking about you!

[Solly Mack]

8. Yes, he must return to Iraq

and then he will be due back in April of 2004.

They are getting ready to make a move in December-just a little south from where he's living right now-to an ancient city filled with religious meaning and a 7 wonder. (hint hint) :)

Thanks!
