Welcome home son.

My son is on an airplane right now. He is headed home. It comes as such a relief to me.
He left last year, just before his twentieth birthday across the world to the hot deserts of Iraq.
This month he will turn 21. A true Adult. And he will be on US soil.
I wont get to see him, and hold him, and thank him and congratulate him as he will be still three states away.
But he will be safe. He will once again be under the safety of Uncle Sam's embrace. That safety that he has been fighting for.
If you see a soldier today. Thank him.
If his name badge says Green hug him.
