Well my dad came back from iraq on the 6th so you may not see me as much for a while because he might have to go back in about two months.
 
Thank you for his service, and your sacrifices as well. My dad was just about to go on his 3rd tour to Iraq, but dropped because he just had surgery on his shoulders.
 
Yeah, he's actually retiring as a SFC this spring. Well, if they accept his retirement packet. He's been trying to retire since 2007, but has been stop loss. Thanks for asking :)
 
Cool my that was my dads 4th tour to iraq. He was also in the Gulf war and the Kosovo conflict.
 
well im very happy to hear that he is back! tell him i said thanks for serving our country! i have a cousin in the air force who just moved farther away from home. :(

he should be good to retire as the army has nixed stop loss for those currently not on it. good luck for you guys. thanks for all your sacrifices. its tough on family and not enough people acknowledge that.
 
That's Good

Congratulations on your dad getting back safe and sound. I wish the same thing had happened to mine.

I'm sorry to hear that. Your dad was a great man, giving everything for us.

i second that. your father's sacrifice protected our nation's way of life. it is an honorable thing to serve your country even with the risks and demands service puts on us.

article 1 of the code of conduct:
i am an american fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. i am prepared to give my life in their defense.
 
Congrats man, my dad just left for his first tour to Afghanistan (hes done three in Iraq) and has only been gone for two weeks.....it sucks as you know.
 
I'm glad he's back and doing well. I hope he doesn't have to go back!

Peace!

Wow man... I personally have no relatives, that I know about, that have served in the military so I don't know of really what to say... I thank him, others, and the families that have sacrificed so much for our country... :closedeyes: I too often take for granted the freedoms and simple things that men and women fight for to this day to withhold. :blushing: :( I keep you and y'alls families as well as others in my thoughts...
Many thanks,
PDS
